OBSESSED with Elite Bridal Beauty. I hired them for hair and makeup for a group of 14 women for my wedding in October and it was the best decision I made.
From the beginning, Cherise and her team are incredibly professional, easy to work with, and TALENTED. We worked primarily with Eva and Bobby and absolutely loved everything about the experience. They did a trial for my mom and me at our house and after a couple hours together, I felt like I knew them for years! In addition to their amazing energy, they are insanely talented, helpful, flexible, and efficient. Bobby did the makeup for my bridal party and we all felt absolutely beautiful. It was natural, elegant, and timeless - exactly what we were looking for.
Eva helped me decide on my final hairstyle and it was beyond perfect - the glam wave! I thought I originally wanted to wear my hair in an updo but I am SO happy I went with her recommendation - I felt like a princess and she even bought extensions for me to clip in on the big day. Bobby, Eva, and the Elite Bridal team were a dream to work with. I feel so lucky to have had them as part of my special day. Thank you so so much!

Hiring Cherise and Xavier was the best decision! Immediately after talking to Cherise for a phone consultation, she made me feel less stressed about hair and makeup for my wedding. She understood what I wanted (like not covering up my freckles) and was extremely knowledgeable and reassuring. I was worried about not being happy with my look but not being able to articulate that. Both Cherise and Xavier were so open to feedback and asked a ton of questions along the way to make sure I was happy with the outcome! Neither my mom nor my mother-in-law wear makeup frequently, and the highlight was seeing them so excited about how they looked. They both told me afterwards how happy they were with how everything turned out and what a calming presence Cherise and Xavier were. Thank you so much to both of them for an amazing day!

Words cannot express how incredible Cherise, Xavier and the Elite Beauty team is! I was looking for a company that specializes in natural/glowy bridal makeup but also can do pretty hair styles too and Elite Bridal Beauty is just that!! I am so incredibly lucky that I came across Elite Beauty here on the knot and that I was able to book them for my wedding day. They are truly talented and amazing at what they do. There is no one else like them! Also need to mention they are the coolest and sweetest people you'll ever meet. Cherise and Paige were there for me throughout my wedding planning journey and they answered all of my hundreds of crazy bride questions and put me at ease. They even helped me with skin and hair care recommendations which I appreciated very much. I knew I was in the best hands from the very start. They will also make sure that on the wedding day, you won't feel rushed which is exactly what they did for me and my bridesmaids. We had a blast and definitely set the mood for a perfect day. Cherise and Xavier turned me into the princess i've always wanted to be on my wedding day along with Bobby and Leanna who were also incredible and made my bridesmaids absolutely stunning. I knew Elite is the best of the best when my hair and makeup lasted the entire day and only needed small touch ups. Through all the crying, sweating and dancing, it all stayed very well. But if you need, they are also available to stay with you and do touch ups throughout the day. All I can say is, I'm so blessed that I had Cherise, Xavier, Bobby and Leanna part of my wedding day because it wouldn't have been as perfect as it was without them. Do yourself a favor and book them now! You will be so happy!

If you want to feel at your most beautiful on your wedding day, than you have to go with Elite Bridal Beauty! There is a ton of work that goes into all of the scheduling of the trial and the wedding day details and you would never know it because the business is run so well. This matters so much because it allows you to focus on the look you want and you can trust that their artists will execute it flawlessly. They do an incredible job of enhancing beauty in the most natural way, and I was glowing all day. I've never felt so beautiful. Best team ever.

WOW! The most professional hair and makeup team I have ever worked with! And fun! We worked with Chloe, Leanna, Jessica and Cherise!

Chloe did my makeup and Leanna did my hair for both the trial and big day and they exceeded my expectations. They were so great at my trial coming to the hotel we were going to get ready at. They were fun and bubbly, so personable and easy to work with. The both worked with me during the trial to get the exact look I wanted and I felt great knowing they would be working with me again.

The end results on my wedding day were SPECTACULAR! They looked even better than the trial and Leanna got my hair looking exactly the way I wanted, and Chloe applied my lipstick in a way that lasted all day. I even brought some pressed powder to do touch ups throughout the day, and I never needed it. Just some PH Lip Balm to keep my fresh and that was it!

Cherise and Jessica were fabulous to all my bridesmaids. Cherise did a beautiful job on my sister's makeup, she got a perfect smokey eye fo her! Jessica is a hoot and a half and she really kept our group lively! She did a beautiful job with my mom's extremely curly hair!

This was the most fun group to work with, and they really kicked off our day in the best way. The conversation was flowing, they were complimentary to my mom, my sister, bridesmaids and all of my husband's family who were in/attending the wedding. Everyone was so attentive and took so much time with each person. We had a large group of about 9 or 10 women with an 6am start time, and they had us ready just in time!

My anxiety kicked in right when everyone was wrapping up I had to run and get dressed (Jessica even helped me get my top on with my hair, thank goodness for her!) and do my first look with my new husband and did not get enough time to genuinely say thank you to each and every woman who helped us out, but I hope they know they helped us make our wedding day perfect.

I felt like we gained 4 friends! Total bliss working with Elite Bridal Beauty! You will not be disappointed!

Cherise is a pleasure to work with. Whenever I had a question she responded in a timely manner. I used Sarah for my bridal shower and wedding day. She did an amazing job! Everyone looked naturally beautiful. My husband and I had to postpone our wedding a year and they were very accommodating. I definitely recommend them!

Look no further. You could not be in better hands than Elite Bridal Beauty. They are not only the BEST at what they do, but they go above and beyond. Cherise had a medical emergency and was hospitalized a few days before my wedding, and even though my wedding should have literally been the last thing on her mind, she had me covered. She reorganized the makeup and hair team (from the hospital!) and sent me an email apologizing (absolutely no need for that!) and explaining how she had reorganized the team slightly to make sure my bridal party and I were all covered. Cherise -- who had, of course, done a phenomenal job on my makeup trial -- filled Sarah in on exactly what I was looking for from my wedding day makeup and Sarah, like Cherise, is clearly a magician because it was perfect. Sam did such a beautiful job with my wedding hair; she made it look natural (but movie natural, with perfect waves), and it lasted through a little rain and lots of sweaty dancing late into the night. The rest of the team, Gabbi and Alyssa, made my mom, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids feel and look beautiful. If I could give the team 100 out of 5, I would.

P.S. I have been meaning to write this review for almost 3 years – my wedding was in June 2018 in Southampton, NY – and while the delay is entirely on me, the fact that I have been thinking about this for so long is a testament to how incredible the team is, and how gob-smacked I still am by Cherise’s dedication to her brides. This is the first review I’ve ever written on the internet, by the way 😊

Cherise and Xavier were the most amazing beauty team and I could not have made a better decision for my wedding day! I knew from the second I saw their work on Instagram and heard the phrase "soft glam" that it was exactly what I was looking for, and they exceeded expectations. I don't usually wear that much makeup and Cherise was amazing at capturing the natural yet elevated look I was going for. And Xavier nailed the hairstyle even when I couldn't fully capture it myself in words - a true miracle worker! Cherise was also very responsive and a true professional. They were both incredibly kind and easy to work with, from the first time I reached out to the trial to the morning of our wedding. And even though we sized down to a small, intimate event with just our immediate family, they helped make everything feel so special. They truly went above and beyond for myself, my mom and my sister, and everyone remarked how beautiful all of our hair and makeup looked throughout the day and even at the very end of the night. At one point my husband and I went out to the beach next to our venue to take portraits in about 20 degree weather with huge wind gusts, and thanks to Cherise and Xavier everything still looked beautiful. I still feel so lucky that they were able to make it work for us on a holiday weekend with short notice, and I could not imagine my wedding day without them. Highly, highly recommend!! 

Cherise is by far the best makeup artist out there! I am a very very simple makeup kind of person - I like everything to look as natural as possible - so when I saw Cherise's Instagram and how her work is simple and natural I had to book her. Amidst all of the covid problems with my wedding, Cherise made me feel at ease. She came to my mothers house to do my trial and perfectly recreated the same look the day of my wedding. I couldn't have been happier with the way my makeup turned out and how it made me feel so pretty. She works with Xavier and I needed a hair person so I booked him as well. Xavier came with Cherise to my mothers house for my hair trial and perfectly created the look I was going for and then perfectly recreated that same look the day of my wedding. I was so happy to be able to work with both of them because they are a great team and the morning flowed beautifully with me and all my bridesmaids and my mom. They both were fantastic and 10/10 would recommend them to anyone! Thank you Cherise and Xavier for making me feel and look the best on the most important day of my life!

Xavier did my and my daughter’s hair (flower girl) on my wedding day, and I could not have been happier. Everyone complimented how stunningly beautiful our hair looked, and the pictures are proof. Phenomenal job by Xavier- he was professional, timely, so courteous and kind- best of all he got the desired looks down 100%. Definitely book with Elite- you don’t be disappointed.
