“The Bridal Glam Group Wedding date - May 8th, 2026 I discovered and hired The Bridal Glam Group literally 10 days before my wedding day... I was experiencing a major lack of communication from my previous makeup/hair artist which resulted in myself being an incredibly anxious bride! Within 24 hours of first messaging Erica (the owner), she met with me in person to discuss my vision, and got a makeup/hair trial scheduled. She even ordered and expedited matching hair extensions so that I could wear my dream style in time for my wedding! Erica did my makeup and SJ styled my hair; both looks lasted all night long and I truly felt like a princess. I received compliments such as, "stunning" and "breathtaking". Rachelle also helped with hair/makeup for my bridesmaids and their appearances held up just as nicely. I am incredibly grateful I found this amazing team of artists; They practice clear and consistent communication and are worth every penny!”

“I am so happy with my services from Arielle and Megan on my wedding day!! First of all, we all looked AMAZING! Starting with Megan who did my hair - I wanted really simple waves with a few strands pulled back and she made it look so effortlessly glam! All my bridesmaids wanted up-do’s and they all looked beautiful and unique. On to the makeup artist Arielle. Arielle provided an above and beyond service we could not have been more happy with her! I think all of my girls, me included, said it was the best makeup they’ve ever had done. My maid of honor was especially nervous because she likes a colorful, fun look and she was nervous a makeup artist would try to dim it down. But of course Arielle listened to what she wanted and absolutely killed it. Before I left, I told Arielle that I need her to do all my future makeup looks lol! I just don’t have enough kind words to say about these two ladies, thank you so much for making my day so special 3”
