The short answer
Bellus brings mobile bridal hair and makeup to the Hunter Valley vineyard estates, driving out to the winery rather than asking the party to come into town. Amanda Frost sets up in the villa or the bridal suite the venue has given you, works through the whole party in one sitting, and builds looks to survive a warm afternoon in the vines. A vineyard wedding is a Hunter Valley booking, so a travel fee of $150 to $200 is confirmed with your quote and everything else is the standard price list.

What Brides Are Saying
★★★★★
Amanda is professional and friendly. She is always there to accommodate your needs. She prides herself in her work to make sure you look beautiful on your special day. I would highly recommend her.
★★★★★
Amanda was amazing for my wedding day. I completed a trial session so we could work out was would look best. This made the wedding day even easier, as she knew exactly what I wanted. My bridesmaid and flower girls looked beautiful and she efficiently worked around us as we organised the ceremony at the same time! I would recommend Amanda at Bellus if you have a wedding or special function - I will certainly be calling Amanda for my next special event. Thank you for making my day everything I dreamed of.
★★★★★
Amanda’s professionalism and attention to detail is exactly what every bride needs on her big day. From our first meeting, to the trial and the wedding day, having her as my hair and makeup artist made me feel like I had one less worry on the day. She understood my vision and helped guide and tweak things until they were perfect. She was amazing with the organisation of every person involved in getting ready on the day (both hair and makeup of 7 people). She was on top of everything and willing to go that extra mile to make sure each and every person was happy with their end result. Amazing work by an amazingly talented woman! Wish I could do it all again! Thank you Amanda!
