The short answer
Bellus is a mobile bridal hair and makeup service covering the whole of the Hunter Valley, from the Pokolbin estates across to Lovedale and out to Broke. Amanda Frost drives to the venue, the villa or the estate bridal suite with the full kit, so the party wakes up and stays put on the wedding morning. A travel fee of $150 to $200 applies across the region, confirmed with your quote, and every other price matches a Newcastle booking.

Love Notes
What Brides Are Saying
★★★★★
Amanda did wedding hair and makeup for myself, my 3 bridesmaids, and our mothers. She is one very talented lady, everyone looked beautiful and I don't know how she so calmly managed to have us all looking so great with time to spare. Her presence on the day felt like she was one of us. I'd recommend Bellus to anyone.
★★★★★
I have been going to Amanda for years for colour and cuts and never had a bad experience. I also had Amanda and Lisa do hair and makeup for my wedding which was fantastic they came to me at our apartment. I had no idea what I wanted for my hair and let Amanda choose the style to match my theme for the wedding it turned out perfect.
★★★★★
Amanda did my sisters weddings hair and makeup. I was maid of honour and I absolutely loved my hair and makeup and Amanda listened and did exactly what we wanted and so quickly!! Highly recommend her

Hunter Valley questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does hair and makeup cost for a Hunter Valley wedding?
Bridal hair is $160 and bridal makeup is $160, so the bride is $320 for both. Bridesmaids are $150 for hair and $150 for makeup, mothers of the bride and groom are $130 for makeup, and flower girls start at $60. Every Hunter Valley venue carries a travel fee of $150 to $200, itemised in your quote, and the figure does not move with which estate you have booked. Trials are $150 each and a $300 deposit holds your date.
Do you travel to Hunter Valley wedding venues?
Yes, I travel to Hunter Valley regularly. A travel fee applies for this area and will be clearly itemised in your quote. Get in touch and I'll provide an exact figure based on your venue location.
How far in advance should I book for a Hunter Valley wedding?
Hunter Valley winery venues book early, particularly at the major estates in Pokolbin. I strongly recommend enquiring 12 to 24 months in advance for peak season Saturdays. If your venue is confirmed, reach out to me straight away.
Do you offer bridal party packages?
Rather than locking you into a set package, I prefer to build something around exactly what your bridal party needs. Every quote is personalised, you only pay for the services your party actually wants. Get in touch and I'll put together a tailored quote for your day.
