Kristen, Stephanie, and Nicole made my bridal hair and makeup dreams come true! If you're looking for artists for your wedding day, look no further! Communication with Kristen is a...
breeze. She made a schedule that made the morning run smoothy. The artists Stephanie and Nicole made the wedding morning so much fun! Thank you!
I had the best experience with Northeast Bridal for my wedding on 11.02.25! They were so accommodating and made me feel absolutely beautiful and confident, and they made my mom fee...
l the same way. The hair trial was so fun — Kristen listened to exactly what I wanted and took her time to make sure everything was perfect. Nicole did my makeup and was incredibly kind; I instantly felt comfortable working with her. Their prices are super reasonable, they’re efficient, and 100% worth it. I can’t recommend them enough and will definitely be using them for future events!
I wish I could take this team with me everywhere I go! Booking with them was seamless after an exploratory call with Kristen that answered all my questions. After that, I was put i...
n a text thread with the artists which really upped communication and simplified things from those typical messy email chains that take forever to get responses. My trials were fabulous, easy to book, and I knew that I wanted both Nicole and Stephanie there with me on my wedding day. Both girls arrived early, were easygoing about setup, and brought the best energy. We chatted, laughed, and decompressed which made for such a fun and low stress morning. This company was also flexible on how many services were booked, as I didn’t have a wedding party but a few friends opted in for services (4 for each artist). It was nice not to be confined to a minimum! I got lashes, airbrush, and extensions which proves both Stephanie and Nicole are true experts, they can do anything! My HMU lasted all day/night and I felt camera ready even at my after party. All my friends loved their looks and felt beautiful. Financially, I found this company to be affordable and fair. In a world where wedding prices are astronomical, Northeast locked me in at a comfortable price and they are worth every penny. This was the only vendor I worked with that required a booking fee, so my deposit did not get applied which felt unusual. I am still so glad I worked with them and wish we could do it all over again!
My entire experience with northeast bridal was so wonderful. Kristen and Nicole were the best. They made all of us feel so beautiful the day of my wedding and their personalities a...
nd kindness made the morning even more special. I highly recommend and would absolutely use their services again for any future event!
After going elsewhere and feeling defeated, Kristen blew my expectations out of the park. It was exactly what I envisioned and I have never felt prettier. She was a pleasure to wor...
k with the morning of my wedding, and chatting like a friend helped the morning nerves.
I am beyond thrilled with the work Northeast Bridal did for my wedding on August 17, 2024. Jackie was incredible—she elevated my look to perfection and made me feel absolutely stun...
ning on my special day. A huge thank you to Kristen for running such an amazing company and assembling such a talented team. Dee, Mallory, and Gabriella also did a fantastic job with my mom and the bridal party. I’m so grateful to have found you all. Thank you for making us look and feel beautiful!
Northeast Bridal did an amazing job with hair and makeup for my wedding!! Grace and Jackie were so wonderful and listened to my vision and got it perfect! I truly felt so beautiful...
on my wedding day thanks to them!
Kristen and her team are incredible. They made my wedding day so easy, fun and stress free. They also did absolutely beautiful work. Couldn’t recommend them more.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this group of ladies. I had my wedding in August of this year and used Grace as my hair stylist. I love how comfortable I felt with her. She also listened to me so m...
uch and gave me exactly what I wanted. At the trial she saw how my hair wasn’t holding curl so well and fixed it so that on my wedding day it was PERFECT. It also held so beautifully even the next day. Coral was also awesome and made my girls and my mom very happy and comfortable. I love how attentive they were with everything and everyone. Lovely group of ladies to work through the process with.
Kristen is such a sweetheart! I struggled a bit to decide what I wanted, and she was very patient with me over the course of two trials to perfect everything. Her studio is very cu...
te, too! On the morning of, she arrived right on time and moved at a great pace, but checked in with me throughout to be sure that I was happy with every step. The final result looked absolutely perfect, and it stayed all day long and into the night without budging! She also did a great job with my mom’s makeup, and she was so pleased!
If you want stress free wedding prep, you must hire Kristen and her team at northeast bridal company as your glam squad. Working with Kristen is like having a beloved family member...
in the room; she really made sure everything was perfect.
I got married on 5/5/23 on the beach and it was a pretty windy day, but you wouldn’t know it. Kristen and her team ensured that our hair was perfect and it would stay - and it did!
Kristen is such a professional. She took care of every detail from reminding me to book my trial and where to purchase high quality accessories, to crafting a seamless schedule for the morning of my wedding and finishing the hair of 8 bridesmaids, my Mother and me! I absolutely loved the way my hair turned out in my trial, but believe me when I say that I loved it even more on my wedding day. The level of care and attention to detail that Kristen puts into her work is incredible.
Kristen and her team are so fun! I’ll forever remember the morning of my wedding because of the vibe she brought. My bridesmaids and family members absolutely fell in love with her. I wish I could do the day all over for so many reasons- being beautified by Kristen being one of them!
Kristen - you helped me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. I cannot thank you enough for EVERYTHING! Your ears will be ringing forever because I’ll never stop recommending you. THANK YOU!
Kristen and team did SUCH an amazing job, 3 of the audience members who are planning weddings asked for their contact since our glam was so seamless and flawless! I loved my trial ...
but definitely had a lot of feedback since I’m not used to wearing a lot of make up or having a lot of volume and they took all of my feedback and gave me the look of my life! I am sad I will never look that good again. Kristen was very professional and knows what she is doing, she estimated the right amount of girls she’d need to get everyone done in time for photos and her pricing is incredibly fair. They were quick to answer questions, provided recommendations for extensions and hair pieces and everyone they brought was easy to get along with and very talented. Me and my bridesmaids looked AMAZING. I may go broke hiring Kristen’s team for every little event moving forward to look that good again.
Kristen and her team were amazing they did mine and my bridesmaids hair for the wedding and it turned out absolutely perfect and lasted the whole night! I will definitely be using ...
her again! Couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.
I had the pleasure of working with north east bridal and the team for my wedding on January 20th. I had a large group of 13 girls and they not only got everything done with time to...
spare but also did such a fabulous job!! I let all of my bridesmaids pick their own hairstyles and they were able to do every single style and do them well! On top of being an amazing business and communicating so extremely well, the entire group of girls are very sweet and I will absolutely be working with them again in the future. 😊❤️
Kristen was the best! She was super professional and had some great advice for me as I was trying to organize a schedule for a large wedding party. She also brought another hair st...
ylist to help support the load who was great! In particular, Kristen listened to what each person wanted and created looks that they were all happy with. She is also really funny and has a great personality and it was a pleasure to have her in my suite as we got ready. Book her - you won't regret it!
Kristen was absolutely amazing!! She has such an amazing personality and made me and my bridal party feel so comfortable! She did a spectacular job with all of our hair! My hair la...
sted all night long! I highly recommend booking Kristen for your wedding!!! She does not disappoint!
My mom found Kristen on Facebook and wow am I happy she did! Kristen was SO fantastic to work with. She did a beautiful job with my hair and it lasted ALL day!
I first learned of Kristen as she did a friend of mines hair for her wedding a few years ago. I knew I was in good hands when it came to my wedding. She is easy to contact, and qui...
ckly responds. I used her for my bridal shower and wedding day. She was so flexible with me evening when I needed to change my getting ready location. She was on time and prepared and ran on schedule. I used a hair piece for both my shower and wedding day, and it was so secure. No amount of dancing was it falling out. I also used extensions for the day of the wedding to help achieve the look I wanted. I would highly recommend Kristen for anyone looking for bridal services !!
Kristen is amazing. I first met her around 2018 when my friend met her at a expo and hired her for her wedding, then again in 2021 for her sisters wedding, and then 10/16/21 for my...
wedding!
She is incredibly talented and sweet. Utmost professionalism and ease to work with. And she will talk with you offer advice and what not in regards to the styles you’re thinking of and what pieces of hair clips will go best.
My hair was hands down my favorite look of my wedding and stayed ALL day and night. I had zero issues or complaints about them - she NAILED it.
By far my favorite vendor to work with (and i think my photographer thought so too since i had a SLEW of photos of us from my getting ready photos!)
If you’re looking for someone who feels like your best friend and to make you comfortable (especially for those very overwhelmed brides) - Kristen is your girl!
Kristen did a gorgeous job on me and my girls’ hair. She was organized and brought another stylist so she could do 7 ladies for an 11:30 am ceremony. She is very friendly and wore...

is also very organized which I loved because I am also very organized! Working with her was amazing and I would recommend her to anyone! Although my wedding is over, I hope that I have a reason for her to style my hair again in the near future!
Kristen is the BEST. We got so many compliments and everything stayed so well all night for all the girls! It was so nice not having to stress over hair and makeup because I know h...
ow professional and amazing she is. Always confirming beforehand and on time. With everything else going on, not having to worry about that was so helpful! Thank you again!!!!🤍
Kristen and Nicole were an absolute joy to work with on my wedding day! These two beautiful women helped to make my wedding day so special. Everything they did for my mom, sister a...
nd I was perfection and I know I speak for all of us when I say we have never felt better! Their care and attention to detail put us all at ease and made us feel so comfortable. I am so so happy that we got to work together for my wedding day and I cannot thank them enough for making me feel like an absolute princess !! Not only that, but our hair and makeup stayed all day and night (even after trekking around Central Park for photos)!! I cannot thank you both enough!!!!❤️
Kristen was an absolute dream to work with! I needed two hair trials because I was an indecisive bride, and she was more than accommodating. She worked with my makeup artist and cr...
eated a flawless schedule for me and my 8 bridesmaids and 3 Mama’s to get ready for a 2pm church wedding. Not an easy task, and everything went off without any issues. My bridesmaids looked absolutely amazing and were all thrilled with their overall looks. The pictures came out unbelievably gorgeous and everyone’s hair held up the entire night. Kristen was kind, patient and most of all FUN to work with. If you’re looking for the best service and experience don’t hesitate to book her!!!
Kristen did my hair for my wedding just over a year ago. I loved how she did my hair and my bridesmaids hair.
Kristen is AMAZING! She truly cares about making your wedding day the best it can be. She did hair for myself and my entire bridal party. Everyone’s hair came out amazing! My hair ...
was absolutely perfect and was exactly what I envisioned it would be for my wedding. She was on time and so fun to be around throughout the whole day! I thought she was so good that she is now my regular hair stylist :)
Highly recommend her services!
Kristen is the ultimate professional. She styled my wedding 3 years ago. We had a 12 pm ceremony, which meant hair and makeup started at FOUR AM for my 6 bridesmaids and me. Not on...
ly was she on time and ready to go, but she helped the morning go SO smoothly. As a tired/anxious/excited bride, i was so grateful for Kristen’s smile and energy that early in the morning. 100/5 starts for this girl. Everyone NEEDS Beauty by Kristen Marie for their wedding, and every other event they ever attend!
Kristen is amazing! She is so easy to work with from the first day we were in contact all the way up to the wedding. She was easy to get in touch with any time I had a question or ...
needed to update her about day of schedules. She is EXTREMELY organized. Everything including timing, location and prices are laid out up front so there is no issues day of. Most importantly...she is SO talented!! Truly was so obsessed with my hair on the day of my wedding which was up with extensions and a head piece. Can’t say enough good things. I’ve recommended her to friends and have had my hair done by her multiple other times in other weddings and have never ever been disappointed. I know go to her for all my color and cuts and am always happy! She’s also super nice and fun and makes the whole getting ready process really fun and laid back!
Kristen was beyond amazing to work with! I have very fine straight hair and she helped me to pick a style that would work well with my hair and dress. She was like working with an ...
old friend and just made everything go seamlessly! 24 hours later after dancing and having slept on my
hair it was still in place! She is the perfect stylist to make your hair look amazing for any special occasion or just for everyday!
Kristen is absolutely amazing! From day one she was both professional and compassionate! She really loves what she does and is super detail orientated. She arrived earlier than she...
said she would and came well prepared. Kristen did both my bridal hair and makeup. I showed her what I was looking for but also allowed myself to be an open canvas for her and she went above and beyond to make me look like a beautiful bride! She took her time and often asked me what I thought to make sure I was happy and to let her know if I didn’t like something so we could try something else. But obviously I loved everything she did! In a time where I felt beyond stressed she made me remember what my wedding day was all about; her personality and excitement for me definitely made my day that much better! I would highly recommend Kristen to anyone and everyone! Thank you so so much!! Xo
Kristen is amazing.
So patient and sweet. Accommodated me and my travels from out of state for my bridal shower hair and wedding hair. Made sure to squeeze in last minute makeup a...
dditions the morning of and not a single complaint from her.
