Bridal Hair and Makeup at The Retreat Port Stephens

The Retreat Port Stephens is one of the region’s most complete and beautiful wedding destinations - a stunning property with extensive accommodation, exceptional ceremony spaces, and that particular quality of a place that has been thoughtfully designed to make weddings feel extraordinary. Bridal hair and bridal makeup at The Retreat Port Stephens is about matching that standard from the very first moment of the day. I travel to your accommodation at The Retreat on the morning of your wedding. The property has beautiful rooms and villas that work well for getting-ready mornings, and many bridal parties love the self-contained nature of staying on-site at such a beautiful property.

Planning Your Getting-Ready Morning Getting Ready at The Retreat

The Retreat’s setting, surrounded by Port Stephens bushland and not far from the water, creates a morning with a beautiful sense of seclusion and celebration simultaneously. When a bridal party is based on the property, there’s a loveliness to the whole morning: the bush outside the windows, the day beginning to build, and the knowledge that something wonderful is just hours away. I build a detailed timeline for every wedding and I’ll factor in your group size, room configuration, and ceremony time to create a morning that flows beautifully.
