Beauty and Soul Artistry 

5.0

Oakdale, NY
  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 4
  • Starts at $250

Creativity is where I thrive and feel most like myself, and the beauty industry has given me the perfect canvas to express it. After leaving a corporate career of nearly 10 years, I followed my passion and began as a head makeup artist and bridal consultant, which opened the door to incredible opportunities. From NYFW to campaigns with e.l.f. Cosmetics, mastering lash artistry, and working on fashion shoots across NYC, I’ve gained experience that fuels my artistry every day. Since 2020, I’ve proudly built and run my own beauty company, helping clients feel confident, radiant, and unstoppable.

I can't recommend Alexa enough! She was my makeup artist for my wedding, and her talent truly made my day unforgettable. Not only does she excel in makeup artistry, but she also captures beautiful moments as a photographer for several special occasions in my life. Her versatility as a jack of all trades is impressive. What stands out the most is her professionalism. Alexa is incredibly skilled at her craft, but it's her warm and welcoming demeanor that makes the experience so enjoyable. She goes above and beyond to ensure you feel comfortable and beautiful, whether it's applying makeup or snapping stunning photos. Her kindness shines through in everything she does, making every session feel personal and special. If you're looking for someone who is not only talented but also genuinely cares about her clients, Alexa is the one to go to!

We got married 1/5/25 but had been working with Miriam for probably a year and a half before our big day. She was always so personable with us a treated us like family. Words cannot describe the love and care we felt from Jake, our maître D and Samantha, our bridal attendant, on our wedding day. We were cared for tediously and effortlessly. We felt like at ease, happy and totally relaxed. I needed Samantha and didn’t even know it, I am forever indebted to her - she could not have been more attentive and wonderful. Comforting me, assuring me, getting me where I need to be and when. So friendly, kind and amazing. Thank god for Jake. He is so special and we’re so lucky we got him as our maître D. He deems himself as a “yes man” and he is not lying. Anything you could have ever wanted from him, he’d deliver. We wanted for nothing, had wonderful direction from him all night and he took care of EVERYTHING!  The night was flawless, amazing, perfect and all we could have ever hoped for. The staff at Bourne is unmatched, we made the right choice with this venue. Guests will be in awe of the venue and talk about the food for years to come. I wish I could do it all again. Thank you Bourne mansion & staff for the best night of our lives! I don’t have all my pics back yet!

Starting at Long Island Beauty School in Hauppauge, then attending Make-Up Designory in Manhattan. After working in salons and freelancing throughout the Tri-state area, she now runs her own business, Palla Beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Nicole is a magician & a saint! I did nothing but ugly-cry happy tears for eight hours straight at my wedding, and when I got back to the hotel, my makeup still looked flawless. My hair held curls for maybe the first time ever, and I’m convinced Nicole has access to hair & makeup superpowers that no one else does. She is calm, kind, and fun—exactly who you want to be around the morning of your wedding! And she did a great job with my aunt & mom’s hair and makeup as well, with very little direction. Our trial was a breeze and made me so confident in my choice, and Nicole went above & beyond to recommend skincare products & hairstylists for me between our trial and the wedding. I wouldn’t have changed a thing about my experience with Palla Beauty. Thank you, Nicole!!

My husband and I had the great pleasure of working with High Voltage Entertainment for our wedding. Working with them was extremely seamless! From the start of booking to the very end of our night, everything was perfection. They truly made us feel valued and always had the best and quick communication! Angelo and Anthony always responded extremely quickly, whether email or phone. We appreciated the check-ins throughout our planning process. I absolutely loved their planning form and their huge selection of song suggestions, it put me at complete ease and was so easy to use. We loved our team for our wedding; Angelo as our DJ, Billy as our MC, and our photo booth attendants Matt and Seth! They were professional, energetic, and extremely fun! You can tell they all love what they do! Billy and Angelo were the dynamic duo, keeping our guests on the floor enjoying every moment, while Matt and Seth kept our photo booth full! Matt and Seth created our beautiful guest book with Photo Booth pictures and were so grateful to have these right at the end of the night. Angelo and Billy were able to read the room and shift into the next generation of music and kept our night going! They played every variety of music we threw at them as my husband and I have two very different tastes in music and they nailed it! This team was absolutely amazing and they made our entire night.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing a wedding venue is one of the biggest decisions you'll make during the planning process and I can confidently say, choosing Swan Lake Caterers was the best decision we made. I’m so excited to write this review so other couples can have a similarly incredible experience! I looked everywhere around the tri-state area from Jersey, to Connecticut, all the boroughs (including Staten Island!!) to all over Long Island. Swan Lake Caterers was actually the first venue I visited, and I fell in love instantly. But, like many brides, I was indecisive. I kept searching, trying to be sure… and after every other tour, I kept coming back to Swan Lake in my heart, I had a feeling it was the one! And it absolutely was. The entire day was seamless, magical, and full of joy. One of the most touching things someone said to me was from my sister. She told me, “So many brides can’t enjoy their wedding day because there’s so much going on but we could see in your face how carefree and happy you were. You were truly having fun” This was in large part due to Swan Lake Caterers allowing me to focus on my husband, family and friends. They gave us peace of mind, beautiful surroundings, and the freedom to be fully present in every moment. The food was out of this world, our guests are still talking about it! Sophia and Charlie really catered to what we wanted and to our guests’ dietary needs! Including three of our vegan family members. The venue itself was picture perfect. It was elegant, romantic, and timeless! One of my guests said it looked like it was out of a Disney movie. Elena, our maitre-d worked with me in the months leading up to the wedding to make sure the decor and vibe was everything we wanted. She knocked it out of the park! Even though it was a little chilly, and started to drizzle, Sophia was in contact with us in the week leading up to it, to make sure everyone was comfortable temperature wise. They were so unimaginably attentive to us! The day of, Elena made sure that even without a rehearsal everything went off without a hitch. Speaking of attentiveness, Jill, my bridal attendant, was simply amazing. She made sure we had drinks in our hand, food on our plates, helped me fix the train on my dress a million and one times. I’m pretty sure they helped one of my guests fix a ripped dress? Seriously. People said it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to! If you're thinking about getting married here, stop thinking and just say YES. I can’t express how incredibly grateful I am to Swan Lake Caterers and would love it for every other couple (and their guests) to have a similar experience!

Words can't describe how thankful I am to have had Jess and Jackie on my wedding day!!! Our day wouldn't have nearly gone as smoothly without them. They truly embraced the day and put all their energy into knowing inside and out our timeline, every detail, our vendors and our bridal party. I (the bride) was able to go about my entire day without having to worry about a single thing because they were taking the lead and handling it all. With a big bridal party and family, they ensured our most important people were where they needed to be and that we got all the photo shots that I had specified on my extensive list. All my expectations for the day that I had talked with them the months prior to our wedding were met and exceeded. There were only a few small bumps to the day and they immediately diffused the situation and quickly resolved it, all while being so kind and professional. These two allowed me to be completely present on my day and blocked out all the noise for me and I can't thank them enough for that. I will forever be grateful for Jess and Jackie and I highly recommend you book them ASAP!!!

AMP DJ/BAND HYBRID is a boutique event company owned & operated by husband & wife team, Jimmy & Ana Salvemini. Having performed around the world with Gloria Gaynor, Luther Vandross, and George LaMond to name a few, the Salveminis were looking for an innovative way to bring that same quality of showmanship and professionalism to your special event! Our DJ/BAND HYBRIDs are carefully crafted to your needs giving you limitless musical possibilities!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ana & Jimmy were in a different league from the moment we met them. On our first Zoom, they listened to everything I said about our taste and our vibe… and then gently told me that our beloved saxophonist idea didn’t match anything we had described. They recommended a guitarist instead— and thank goodness, because they were absolutely right. Their planning process was incredibly thoughtful.. and for me, hilarious. Their music surgery? Thorough and genius, and apparently visible to them before you hit submit. Which meant they saw me type things like “Haed pass,” “No thank you,” and “What even is that??” Live. Thankfully, they have incredible senses of humor. They checked in multiple times, did a full site visit, and showed up with a sound team who stayed all night to make sure everything was flawless. They even coordinated our private outdoor first dance with our violinist while sending the music inside to guests — seamlessly. But the reception is where they catapulted into untouchable territory. They don’t just sing and DJ… they perform. Including: * the full, committed N’SYNC “Bye Bye Bye” choreography * A Blink - 182 elder millennial scream-along that transported us back to 2003 * Coming onto the dance floor to hype everyone * Interacting with guests like they’ve known us forever. I don’t dance— and I was on that dance floor all night. Our guests are still texting us about how unreal the band was and we’ve heard “best wedding I’ve ever been to” on multiple occasions. My only genuine disappointment is that the wedding is over and I don’t get to hang out with Ana and Jimmy anymore. Hire AMP DJ/BAND HYBRID. Thank me later

First of all, I have to say Milysa is the best makeup artist I have come across over the years and I’m happy I chose her to do my bridal makeup and for my bridal party. I originally booked a bridal trial with her (through word of mouth) after a couple other artists and after my trial, I knew I had to book her to do the makeup for my Wedding! She was so sweet, highly adaptable, extremely knowledgeable about which products and colors would suit me best for my face, eye shape and skin type. She created a timeline and guided me through the whole process since I had the trial up until my Wedding day and helped calm my bride-to-be nerves. The day of the Wedding, she was punctual and made sure everything flowed smoothly. My makeup looked even better from when I last had my trial with her, if that could even be possible! All of my bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law looked absolutely beautiful as well and I feel like I couldn’t have chosen a better makeup artist for my vision. Thank you so so much to Milysa at Minx Aesthetics, for doing what you clearly do best and making me & my bridal party look amazing for my forever pictures. My ladies and all of my guests absolutely loved her work! The makeup even lasted through hours of dancing and sweating haha. I only had to touch up once, which she provided a cute touch-up kit for me & my bridal party as well. (Mainly lips but that’s to be expected when eating and drinking haha!) If you need a talented, professional makeup artist for your Wedding and even your engagement party/shower or whichever special event, I highly recommend her to everyone! I will definitely be booking her for future events!

I am so happy I booked Genie Artistry for my wedding-day makeup. Jeanine and her assistant MUA could not have been sweeter, and they made me, my bridesmaids, my mom, and grandma look SO beautiful on my big day. Jeanine is very communicative, and you can see she wants to make you feel your absolute best in the makeup - on the day of my makeup trial, she asked questions about what makeup I usually feel best in, and what I was envisioning for my wedding makeup. After she did the first makeup look, she asked if there was anything I wanted to change, and was so open to suggestions. I felt like a goddess on my big day! She even covered up some bruises on my and my sister's arms on the day of so they wouldn't show up in pictures. I would recommend her to any bride-to-be!!
