The short answer
Bellus brings bridal hair and makeup to Rutherford rather than asking the party to travel for it. Amanda Frost arrives at the house or the function centre with everything needed, which is worth having when the venue is one way and the getting-ready house is another. Rutherford is a Hunter Valley booking, so a $150 to $200 travel fee is confirmed with your quote and the services cost what they cost in Newcastle.

Rutherford is a growing suburb in the Maitland LGA, conveniently placed between Maitland and the Hunter Valley wine country, with a number of function venues and local spaces that suit weddings of all sizes. I travel to Rutherford and the Maitland region regularly, and it’s always a pleasure to help couples in this part of the Hunter start their wedding morning beautifully.

What Brides Are Saying

Amanda at Bellus Hair for Brides is responsible for the most amazing hair day of my life! Her artistry and styling of my wedding coiffure was pure magic. The result exceeded my expectations and more. Then there was the exceptional makeup for myself, my maids and mother in law...... no words. We all felt like celebrities. What was most impressive though was the way Amanda was the consummate professional. On time, prepared, part of the conversation and one of the girls but so focussed and adept. On the most important and unforgettable day of your life......choose Amanda from Bellus. You will be in exceptionally good hands and enjoy your day that much more.
