She really listens and takes into account what her clients are asking for and their inspiration points.

Nancy made me feel so comfortable, and listed and explained everything during my trial. I kept thinking like - everything could go wrong on the wedding day, but at least my makeup was going to look BOMB. Also, my MOH does not wear any make up. I was so worried because she was one of those “only a little of this and that” but Nancy did such an amazing job, my MOH was so happy!

Meet Marija, the beauty expert at Serenity Bridal NYC. With years of experience in the bridal industry and features in Elle and Brides, she brings unmatched artistry to every bride. From soft glam to full glam looks, and any hairstyle you can imagine, Marija is dedicated to making every bride’s dream look a reality.

Working with Marija for my wedding planning, décor, and makeup was one of the best decisions I made for my entire wedding. From the very beginning, she made the process so easy and enjoyable. She was friendly, professional, and extremely organized, and from our first meeting I could tell she genuinely cared about bringing my vision to life. My total budget was 5,000, which I knew wasn’t a huge amount for a wedding. I’d spoken with a few planners before who made me feel like it wasn’t possible to do much with that, so I was prepared to have to compromise on a lot of things. But from the first moment I spoke with Marija, she made me feel completely at ease. She never once made me feel limited by my budget — instead, she got creative, worked around what I could afford, and found ways to make everything look far more luxurious than I thought possible. Communication with her was excellent from start to finish. She was always quick to respond, open to my ideas, and proactive with updates. I always knew exactly where things stood, which made me feel so much less stressed. She gave me suggestions I hadn’t even thought of and really listened when I shared what kind of style and atmosphere I wanted for the day. When the wedding day arrived, I was completely blown away by how everything looked. The décor was absolutely stunning — elegant, warm, and full of personal touches that reflected me and my partner perfectly. The flowers, the table settings, the lighting — everything came together so beautifully. It genuinely looked like a high-end event, and so many of our guests commented on how gorgeous the setup was. Marija also did my bridal makeup, and I can’t even begin to explain how happy I was with it. She made me look and feel like the best version of myself. The makeup was flawless and natural, lasted all day and night, and looked amazing in photos. She took her time to make sure I was completely happy before we started the day, and her calm, positive attitude made the morning so relaxed and enjoyable. Throughout the entire day, Marija was there making sure everything ran smoothly. She managed the timing perfectly, kept everything on schedule, and handled all the little details so that I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Because of her, I was able to just enjoy my wedding and take it all in — something I’m so grateful for. I honestly received far more than I expected for my budget. The quality, care, and creativity Marija put into everything were exceptional. It’s clear she truly loves what she does, and that passion shows in every detail. If you’re planning a wedding — no matter your budget — I cannot recommend Marija enough. She went above and beyond to make my dream wedding a reality, and I’ll always be thankful for everything she did.
