Bride-only packages start at $2,100 on Elite Bridal Beauty's own site, and the Signature package, which covers the bride plus three others with a trial, starts at $3,980. This is an East End operation with a private studio in East Moriches and work shown from Gurney's Montauk and the Montauk Yacht Club. Couples who want to hand-pick a specific artist should read on, because founder Cherise Loren does the assigning.
elitebeautyny.com/servicesThe Just the Bride packages are the entry point on the services page. The Signature package covers the bride plus three other people, with a trial included. Touch-up packages start at $5,700. Wedding party services are priced a la carte at $180 to $200 per person, and minimums apply to those party services.
The VIP Experience is priced on request. It bundles bridal hair and makeup with lashes, clip-in extensions and veil placement, hair and makeup for up to three others, up to four hours of touch-up coverage, an optional studio trial, an evening touch-up kit and a prep guide. Hourly touch-up coverage, rehearsal dinner services, extension installation and in-home organic spray tans are sold separately.
Cherise Loren, the founder, assigns artists to each wedding. Clients do not choose an individual artist, so a couple who fell for one artist's work will need to ask how assignments are made. A deposit and a signed contract hold the date, and the studio says it books one to one and a half years out. Peak East End Saturdays go early.
The service area runs from the Hamptons to Manhattan, with Montauk, Connecticut, the Hudson Valley and destination weddings listed. Work shown on the site comes from the Peconic Bay Yacht Club, Gurney's Montauk and the Montauk Yacht Club. Natural makeup and organic spray tans are listed as specialties alongside East End weddings. If your wedding is on the East End and your party is four or more, the Signature tier is the one to price first. A solo bride at a Nassau venue may find the bride-only floor high for the drive.
Booking is by application, and dates are limited each season.
