One of the Best Wedding Planning Decisions We Made
Upon doing my research for wedding hair and makeup styles that I wanted for our wedding, I came across Corrie Elle Artistry and immediately knew this was the team I wanted for our wedding. I furthered my research by looking at price points, and also reaching out to Corrie herself to see what packages would best work for our wedding. Corrie was prompt and pleasant through every email she sent. Unfortunately, a few months into the coordinating, we had to postpone our wedding to 2021. Corrie was receptive and so accommodating - the process was so seamless. Fast forward to 2021, Corrie reached out directly to inquire if we were still aiming to get married in 2021, or if we were postponing again to 2022 (inquiring knowing that her availability for 2022 was booking up fast). We asked for her services to be postponed again until 2022 - once again, another seamless process. In 2022, we touched base, and over the course of our planning, I had to add and subtract different services due to changes in my bridal party. I also asked for a makeup trial (which I absolutely loved) for myself and for my mom, who later had to cancel due to exhibiting symptoms and wanting to play it safe. Because I was coming from work, I was also running a little late for the trial. I have to say, despite all the mini headaches I thought I was giving, Corrie and her senior artist Kati were so understanding, kind, and wonderful about the consistently changing circumstances. Fast forward again to our wedding day, and we could not be happier that Corrie's Senior Artists, Kati and Alison, helped us prepare for the day. On the note or organization and professionalism, this team was exceptional. Prior to the wedding, Corrie provided a questionnaire to help schedule the day. The survey was explicit and detailed, accounting for every important detail. She later used this survey to provide a schedule for us to follow on the actual day. Her senior artists kept the schedule perfectly, and again, the whole morning felt seamless. Kati and Alison followed up the day of the wedding, with each individual person of the bridal party to ensure they completely understood the look each person was going for. The aftermath: everyone absolutely loved the precision, quality and detail of their hair and makeup - me most especially! Kati and Alison captured the vision so perfectly. I can't stress enough how this was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. I received compliments as soon as I stepped off the hair and make up chair, up until I was dancing the night away on the dance floor. Everything held up perfectly through pictures, ceremony (and the heat from being outdoors), the reception, and a night of dancing. I want to send Corrie, Kati, and Alison our most sincere gratitude for the effort, time, and quality of service they provided. We could not be happier!

Wonderful Bridal hair & Makeup
Corrie Elle is a wonderful person and connecting with her for my bridal hair and makeup was an amazing experience. She was so pleasant, caring and very professional. She arranged everything for me very quickly and was very responsive with her communication. She connected me with Bianca for hair and makeup and she was so lovely and talented. Bianca listened to what I was asking for and totally delivered! I felt so happy with my hair and makeup and she made the experience so much fun. I highly recommend Corrie Elle and her team for Bridal Hair and Makeup! They are the best!

Don’t recommend working with her
I don’t recommend working with Corrie due to her inflexibility and unfriendliness.
We hired Corrie for my bridal party hair and make up before pandemic. I even paid extra to specifically work with her. Pandemic happened, and we ended up postponing the wedding to the later (unknown) time. Things got better, we tried to reschedule the appointment with her, she told us if we still wanted to work with her we had to pay extra or just work with her crew members, who were good but not as experienced. We ended up changing our package to work with her crew. Canada kept changing rules with gatherings and border due to pandemic. We are American, and most of our guests were coming from the US! We decided to cancel the wedding due to constant rule changes. I asked Corrie to issue us credit for future use or give part of our deposit back. She did not accept! She just kept our deposit and gave us no option but forfeiting our deposit.
Our 5 other vendors were so understanding, they either returned our deposit or issued us credits to use in the future!!
Overall not a great experience with her and I found her neither friendly nor flexible.
Corrie Elle Artistry's reply:
Shabnam, I hope you are well. Respectfully, I’m disappointed to read your post; despite not working together for your wedding day, there was overall an exchange of 50+ emails for your booking, 3 separate dates secured for you over a 2.5 year period, and then finally a cancellation. Upon booking in the beginning of the Pandemic in March 2020, it was confirmed to you that all retainers were non-refundable, as well as the following 2 signed agreements for the rebooked dates. We however went above and beyond to support our couples through the pandemic and you were no exception to that. Additionally you were also offered a discounted rate for your re-booking date option with my team. While in an effort to continue to support you and your choices, we absorbed losses with regard to your re-booking requests and then further losses as a result of your cancellation, complete by waiving your final balance payment obligation. While we absolutely love what we do, this is also our livelihood; after all that took place over the 2+ years, we were simply unable to accommodate your request for a full refund of your booking retainer. I value all feedback and thank you for sharing; I remain proud of how my team and I supported you through your choices from 2020-2022.
Your previous gratitude with regard to our efforts throughout those 2 years, results in some confusion to your feedback now.
Nevertheless, my sentiment remains; I hope you are well and wish you and your family the very best.

Full bridal package with three bridesmaids and mother of the bride
Corrie Elle is an absolute dream. Her reviews speak for themselves. She is incredibly talented as well as kind, generous, and makes every girl feel their best. I had three bridesmaids and my mother get their hair and makeup done, as well as a full bridal package. Corrie made the day feel special, luxurious, and so so so fun!

Can not recommend Corrie highly enough!
Corrie is truly an artist and brings client service to a whole new level. Having in-home hair and makeup for me and our three daughters was absolutely perfect and I cannot recommend CE Artistry highly enough.

Highly recommend Corrie Elle and team!!
From the moment I connected with Corrie Elle, the process was a breeze. She made the booking process super easy, was super flexible, and gave me all the information I needed off the bat. My artist was Corries senior artist, Kati and she was amazing!!!! She did my hair and makeup perfectly and I felt so beautiful. She is such a sweetheart - we had issues with a different artist that did my moms makeup and Kati gladly stepped in to fix her makeup as well and she was soooo happy! Love working with these ladies!

Thank you Corrie Elle!
I had the best experience with Corrie and her team. She was very prompt with responses and answered all of my questions. Her senior artists, Ray, Bianca, and Mel are very talented and were very professional. Ray also did my makeup trial and on both occasions she addressed my concerns and made me feel at ease. I felt beautiful on my wedding day! Thank you all so much!

Excellence Experience with Corrie - Wonderful, Professional and a Joy to be Around
Excellent experience - Corrie is the best! She was prompt, calm, professional and most importantly, a highly skilled hair and makeup artist. From last minute accommodations to final touchups, she truly knows how to work with each person's unique requests and make them feel ready to take on the day feeling and looking beautiful! I would highly recommend Corrie and her team to anyone looking for hair and makeup in the Ottawa or Toronto area.

I have never looked better
I had Senior Artists Erin, Ali & Ana for my wedding day and they all did a fantastic job.
My bridesmaids and the moms looked gorgeous all day! They came in with very bright and sunny attitudes and helped us get energized even with our early wake up!
I want to specifically mention the amazing job Erin did with my bridal hair and makeup. I can honestly say it was the best I have ever looked in my life. I felt like a movie star! Everyone was commenting on the amazing job she had done.
