To know and love Elite Secrets Bridal is to know the team behind this bridal powerhouse brand. The ladies here are the secret sauce to Baltimore’s award-winning bridal salon. Besides the most amazing gowns you’ve ever laid eyes on and head-turning hair and makeup styles, these ladies—along with their attention to detail, love for brides, and dedication to service—are the reason couples voted them best in the business four years in a row. So, without further ado, let’s meet the ESB Team.
Tonya, CEO, and Founder
Fun facts about me: I’m a wife, mom, grandmom, and a true woman of God!
I met the love of my life, we’ve been happily married for five years, and I still find myself sharing our love story to our brides.
I love hearing the “how we met” and “how he popped the question" stories from our brides. It’s the perfect dressing room conversation between gown changes.
As the Bridal Shop Owner, I wear many hats like most business owners. I can genuinely say it doesn’t feel like work...EVER!
As Founder and CEO of Elite Secrets Bridal, taking on the role of Beauty Advisor, Educator, Author, Mentor/Coach, and Business Strategist for our brand, I enjoy my role as Bridal Stylist the most. It’s the most fulfilling role of them all. From the moment the bride walks in the front door, we strive to provide a memorable experience--one she will cherish for a lifetime. When opening the doors to ESB, I wanted to provide a place where brides were inspired and super excited about taking steps to find the perfect dream dress for their special day. The glow in their eyes and excitement in their voice never gets old.
We wanted a place where brides didn’t feel pressured to buy but felt that we are here to help them with putting together the perfect look…a look, they will feel proud to walk down the aisle with confidence.
I’m blessed each day to do what I love and live in my purpose. It feels like a dream!
Sabrina, Bridal Events Manager
Fun facts about me: I am an ESB bride! When I am not providing brides with elite service, I spend my nights delivering babies as a registered nurse.
I love my job because I get to wear many hats and incorporate fashion into what I do. I initially was drawn to the bridal scene after planning my own wedding. I came to find that the bridal industry is made up of interconnected businesses that work together to deliver the couples' dream experience. My favorite thing about this job is helping the bride discover her personal style as it applies to bridal. Through helping style a bride, you get to be part of a very intimate moment of her life. I’m not just selling dresses or service I am creating a special bond with my brides that carry through long after the wedding is over.

What I am most proud of is the fact that I can make a difference in someone’s Mood by making them look and feel beautiful.
My real strength is my attention to detail and superior knowledge and extensive experience in skincare products. I pride and adept at perceiving the client's own unique skin tone and corresponding makeup requirements and recommending makeup products accordingly.
