I'm Barbie Patel, an entrepreneur, beauty industry expert, and social media strategist passionate about building brands that make an impact. As the founder of Cinderella Bridez, I've spent over 18 years redefining the South Asian and multicultural bridal beauty experience while leading a team of elite artists serving luxury weddings around the world. I'm also the co-founder of Luxx Escapes, a destination wedding travel agency, and the founder of Beauty CEO University, where I help beauty professionals and entrepreneurs grow profitable, sustainable businesses.

Throughout my career, I've traveled internationally to provide luxury wedding experiences in destinations including Italy, Spain, Greece, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Iceland, Alaska, and across the United States. My work has been featured on Bravo's Family Karma and The Real Housewives of New York, as well as in Brides, The Knot, The New York Times, Wedding Sutra, USA Today, BuzzFeed, and Forbes.

As a speaker and educator, I love combining creativity with business strategy to help wedding professionals, beauty artists, and entrepreneurs build standout brands, master social media, and scale with confidence.
