Tanilba House Wedding venue
Bridal Hair and Makeup at Tanilba House
Tanilba House is one of the most historically significant and genuinely beautiful heritage wedding venues in the Port Stephens region - a Georgian homestead built in the 1830s, surrounded by formal gardens, and positioned with sweeping views across Tilligerry Creek and the Port Stephens waterway. Bridal hair and makeup at Tanilba House is about honouring that heritage and beauty with a level of craft and care that matches the setting. I travel to your getting-ready accommodation on the morning. Tanilba Bay itself has beautiful properties, and the broader Raymond Terrace and Medowie area offers further options for groups needing more space. I’m familiar with this part of Port Stephens and I factor all logistics into the morning planning.
Heritage Romance at Tanilba House
The Georgian architecture of Tanilba House and its formal heritage gardens create a wedding setting that rewards certain kinds of bridal looks - classical, elegant, romantic. The kind of look that feels at home against 1830s sandstone and rose gardens, with Tilligerry Creek in the background. I love working with this brief. That said, some brides deliberately contrast the heritage setting with something more contemporary and editorial, and that works beautifully too. The backdrop is strong enough to support almost any aesthetic vision.

Love Notes
What Brides Are Saying
★★★★★
Amanda did a truly amazing job of my wedding hair and make-up! I loved the hair even more than the inspo pictures I showed her. Both hair and make-up stayed in place all afternoon/night long and looked perfect in photos. Couldn't recommend Amanda more highly. Such a friendly, passionate and professional artist. Thank you so much!
★★★★★
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.
