“We’ve had the honor of working with Ari Haynes with Velvet and Venus Beauty for over 3 years & she’s taken care of dozens of our brides (and their loved ones!). She’s always showed up, did a splendid job, left everyone in awe, and gave it all - even when shorter timelines were at play. She isn’t just an amazing hair and makeup artist… this is someone who will literally roll out of bed at 3 a.m. for a sunrise elopement and still have the energy to hype up a bride like it’s 2 p.m. Not impressed yet? Okay, how about this: she once climbed a mountain in Norway — hair kit in tow — just to keep two brides getting married that day looking flawless on a five-hour journey from mountaintop vows all the way down to a beachside celebration on the other side.
Oh, and because that wasn’t enough… she’s also hopped into a helicopter (yep, after saying “just in case, love you babe” to her guy) to do touch-ups in windy weather by a remote alpine lake. Like… who does that?!
And when there’s no emergency beauty need? Don’t worry — Ari’s probably pulling together a last-minute charcuterie or finding another way to make someone’s day easier, because that’s just who she is. Always present, always giving 100%, always showing up for her brides.
Ari has been part of countless EZ Elopements experiences over the years, and her commitment, energy, and love for what she does have made a lasting impression on countless couples over the years. Although EZ Elopements and Ari are now pursuing different paths professionally, I can say with full confidence that she remains an incredibly talented and dedicated artist.
I’ll always be grateful for the incredible work and energy she brought to our shared journey. Thank you Ari, you truly are one of a kind.”
