The absolute BEST beauty team in NH

I had Brides Best Friend (wedding services from Elle & Co) for wedding hair and makeup for my September 2024 wedding and this team is exceptional. Ellysa and Erin made me and my bridal party feel the most beautiful versions of ourselves. They are experts- my makeup did not budge and my hair was gorgeous. Most importantly, I felt like myself. My hair is naturally thin and difficult to keep a curl. From the very start, I voiced my insecurities and they gave the best advice and assured me throughout the process. Day of, they were flexible and super friendly- we loved chatting with them and having them be a part of the most exciting morning. Everyone was thrilled with their intricate hairstyles and photo-ready makeup. I highly recommend them and would work again with them in a heartbeat!

Wonderful hair and makeup experience!

Kayla and Chase with Bride's Best Friend were just so lovely to work with. They did a really great job with everyone's hair and makeup, and they really made it fun to get ready! No one in the group of us getting our hair and and makeup done really wear makeup all that much, and they made us feel so comfortable with the process. Even on a windy, drizzly day, my hair and makeup held up the entire day, better than I've ever experienced! I really loved everything about working with this team and I can't recommend them enough!

The best experience!

Elyssa and her assistant arrived on time and got right to work on hair and makeup for me and my girls. They work very efficiently without sacrificing quality which is so hard to find! There were 8 of us that needed services and we were done early. I had a specific vision in mind for what I wanted and Elyssa absolutely nailed it and I felt beyond beautiful and confident on my big day!

Amazing results, flexible, and ON SCHEDULE

I left finding a hair and makeup artist for myself and my wedding party a little bit to the last minute, but I got so lucky with Bride's Best Friend. Ellysa and Cristina were amazing, and actually finished hair and makeup for 6 people ahead of schedule, which on a busy wedding day is SO important! They were also super flexible about people changing their minds on what they wanted, and accommodated us all easily. I got so many compliments on my hair and one of my engaged friends has now booked them for her wedding next summer!

They do have a minimum number of services you need to book if they're traveling to you, but I added a friend to the group and it was no problem for us. 5 stars across the board :)

Exactly what you want for your wedding day

Elle and her name were amazing and I'd highly recommend them to make you feel beautiful on your wedding day!!! They traveled to our venue which was in the middle of nowhere NH. They were professional, friendly, and made my bridesmaids and I feel beautiful. They had an organized system going, where two girls would tackle the hair while one girl did the makeup. There were 8 of us and they made great time. I loved my hair and makeup so much and cannot recommend them enough!!!

Wedding Hair and Makeup

Working with Erin and Ellysa was absolutely wonderful! My Hair and makeup team fell through about a month before my wedding and I messaged Erin right away. She responded within minutes and Brides Best Friend was booked within 24hours. Ellysa and Erin were so responsive and their work was absolutely outstanding. I had multiple last minute additions the day of and the girls were so accommodating. My whole bridal party and family were amazed at the hair and make-up. I could not recommend Bride’s Best friend enough!
