Say “Yes” to…Elite Ceremonies! That’s right, you read that correctly. Elite Secrets Bridal is proud to announce the launch of our newest package-The Elite Ceremonies!

Overwhelmed with the thought of moving your wedding yet one more time?!? Let’s face it, a court house wedding is not what you had in mind for the perfect fairytale wedding. While many couples have considered eloping, the thought of traveling sounds a bit risky. We’re proud to announce the most intimate romantic ceremonies, with all of the wedding day fixings.

Along with our preferred vendors-our team has pulled out all the stops to make your wedding day a safe, private affair as you promise “forever” to the love of you life among our lush gowns and chandeliers! Just ask Anissa + Ancil, our first ESB couple to say “I-do” in Elite Secrets Bridal!

Read on to hear what our beautiful ESB Babe, Anissa had to say about her wedding day with Team Elite:

We got engaged on 11 March 2020, on the 30 year anniversary of our first date. Our life journeys took us along different paths, but we were fortunate enough to come back together when it was time. I had known he was the only one for me since that first date in 1990.
Fast forward to 2020: with both of our moms having health conditions, I struggled with when and how we would get married.I passed by Elite Secrets Bridal many times, as I live in the neighborhood. I’d peek in the window, looking at all the gorgeous dresses and beautiful setting, and I would wonder what my own wedding would look like. As 2020 progressed, we knew it wasn’t going to be a big party, and most likely our moms wouldn’t be able to attend in person. Finally, we decided to just go for it – get married, even if it was a courthouse wedding.
However, I was saying to my best friend, “I’m yours forever”, and I knew it had to be intimate, beautiful, and a day of love.That’s where Elite Secrets came in to create the most special, magical, gorgeous day that either of us could have imagined.I had already bought a last-minute dress elsewhere, we had the rings, a design for a small cake, and my two besties as officiant and witness. Working with LaTonya and Katie for the event design was seamless and totally effortless. We only had a few days to plan and prepare, and between all of us, the shop space was transformed. Opaque drapes gave us privacy (but good lighting for pictures!), candles and the flower backdrop set the scene, and being surrounded by the beautiful gowns was like being in a fairy tale. Qia did such a glamorous up-style for my hair, and LaTonya’s makeup made me feel like a princess. All their suggestions for hair design and makeup were perfectly on point. Katie’s enthusiasm and organization kept everything perfectly timed. Michelle was invaluable – always right there when anyone needed her. And her gift of a song for us as we cut the cake was so beautiful, it brought tears to my eyes.The moms tried to live-stream in, but I was so happy to have a photographer and videographer there. The photographer and videographer captured every moment, and the magic of the ceremony, so now our moms can watch the video and feel like they were standing right alongside us. (Confession time: I have watched the video every day since our wedding!)I cannot speak highly enough of the thought and care that Elite Secrets put into making our special day flawless. The gorgeous shop, the thoughtful touches, the true care and professionalism, but most importantly, the warmth and excitement they brought to our ceremony … made it magic. It felt like family.
We wore masks, we kept the event small, and we took precautions to be safe. In the end, having an intimate ceremony at Elite Secrets gave us a space to come together and honor our marriage with joy, beauty, creativity, love and celebration. Here’s to the next 30 years!”
