Bridal Brigade is well known for providing high quality bridal hair and makeup services at the destination of your choice! We opt to provide on location services because who really wants to make several stops on their wedding day?! The concept of the Bridal Brigade came from owner and head makeup artist, Brandi Paap, traveling on location to perform makeup services. Often times the bridal parties would request for a team of stylists to come along with Brandi to provide formal hair styling services. After the first few weddings, this brigade of beauty consultants became known as the Bridal Brigade. Brandi works alongside other artists and stylists whom she has hand selected to uphold her high standards of makeup artistry, hair artistry and professional reputation. Each artist has attended extensive training as well as holding licenses in esthetics or cosmetology or are certified as a makeup artist.

Loved Brandi and Jeannie!

Bridal Brigade is amazing! Brandi did my makeup, and Jeannie did my hair. Both delivered exactly what I wanted -- a natural makeup look and a low, messy bun with face framing pieces. They were also great with accommodating the requests of our bridal party. Not to mention, Brandi and Jeannie were a ton of fun to hang out with while we were getting ready! I was definitely nervous that morning, but their presence and conversation helped me to relax and get into the partying mood. I would absolutely recommend Bridal Brigade for hair and makeup!

Jeannie is a MUST

If you’re going to select Bridal Brigade- you MUST request Jeannie. Jeannie did both hair and makeup for my small group and myself. She was extremely patient while trying to find location for services- with changes up to the last few days. She went out of her way to check in with me throughout the process and honestly cared about my mental health. If I were to do my entire wedding over- I would have changed many things.. but Jeannie was NOT one of them. She was patient and spent the time needed to fix everyone up the way they wanted. Did not feel at all rushed despite starting later than scheduled. Truly the most fantastic part of the planning process and morning of. Thank you so much, Jeannie ❤️❤️

Exceptional Service

Look no further! Book makeup with Bridal Brigade NOW!

Brandi is absolutely amazing. Not only is she fantastic at doing makeup, but she is friendly, easy to get along with and made the booking process SO EASY. She brought Nicole with her to assist on our wedding day and she did amazing as well. All of my 8 bridesmaids looked STUNNING and they all felt beautiful. I would recommend these two over and over again!

Brandi is wonderful!

After coordinating over the course of 2+ years with Brandi, we finally had our wedding last month, and I am so happy we went with Bridal Brigade. Brandi was very responsive and easy to work with throughout the process. Her and her hairstylist Jesika were great on the wedding day, making all of us look gorgeous while having so much fun. I highly recommend Brandi and her team for your wedding!

Wonderful experience with Bridal Brigade

I had such a great experience working with Bridal Brigade for hair services on my wedding day. We had Bethany and Jesika with us the morning of and they were both amazing - worked super efficiently and were such friendly people to have around! They worked ahead of schedule which made the morning so effortless and stress-free. Communication beforehand was super easy and their price can't be beat. Hire them today!!

Sensational work!

Brandi went above and beyond to make sure my wedding make up was amazing. She took plenty of time in the trial to make sure it was exactly what I was looking for. She even made an exception and booked my wedding even though I didn't reach her minimum number of gals, it was really sweet. She was extremely professional regarding the COVID guidelines! And she was beyond patient with me when it came down to the details! I would recommend her and the Bridal Brigade any day! Wonderful to work with and fantastic communication!

Hair stylist

I had Jeannie for my wedding party of 5. Everyone was so impressed with her work, she nailed everyone’s request! The conversation is so easy with her and she make you feel so relaxed! My makeup artist was sick that day so she stepped in and helped us with our eyelashes and made sure we were all taken care of!

Felt Gorgeous All Day!

We worked with Hannah and Charity for the bride and 6 bridesmaids. Brandi helped coordinate everything flawlessly and was so kind when my original makeup artist had a scheduling conflict. Hannah and Charity showed up right on time and help us all look our best for the big day. During the trial, I was very unsure of the makeup, but Charity was so great to help me look my best while not feeling completely overwhelmed with the amount of makeup. She worked with my skin imperfections and made me feel amazing. Hannah can do everything! Each maid had something different in mind and Hannah executed everything perfectly. The ladies were so flexible, they even worked with my MIL and her friends to help them get ready after they were through with us. I highly recommend working with these lovely ladies!

Best value and service for small party

I looked at and corresponded with a lot of beauty vendors before choosing Bridal Brigade. Their prices were the best for a stylist coming to my home, and they had people who could do both makeup and hair. Most other vendors had a high minimum spend or minimum number of people. I needed someone just for two people, two services each. Then it just ended up being me (stepmother of the bride). It was a huge value and convenience for me to be services at home. I had a 7 month old baby at the time, and it was all I could do to get myself and the baby ready for the wedding and get there in time. Bethany did a fabulous job, and was very easy to talk to about what I wanted for a look. I loved the way my hair and makeup turned out for photos. I will definitely use Bridal Brigade again the next time I need hair and makeup services for a wedding or other occasion!
