Where I travel in Newcastle
I’m Amanda — a mobile wedding hair and wedding makeup artist with 18+ years experience serving brides across Newcastle and the Hunter region. I come to you on your wedding morning, whether that’s your home, hotel, or a nearby Airbnb. No rushing across town, no stress — just calm, unhurried preparation wherever you’re getting ready.
Newcastle is one of those cities where the wedding scene has truly come into its own. From the grand heritage buildings of the CBD to the relaxed beachside venues along Merewether and Bar Beach, and the beautiful clifftop settings at Nobby’s — brides here have so much to work with.
And because I’ve been working across Newcastle for over 18 years, I know these venues, I know the light, and I know exactly what it takes to have your hair and makeup looking perfect from the first photo of the morning to the last dance of the night.
Being mobile means I’m completely flexible around you — I fit into your morning, not the other way around. Whether you have a small, intimate bridal party or a larger group, I coordinate everything so that every single person is ready on time, calm, and feeling their best.
No busy salons, no travelling across the city — I come to you in the comfort of your own home, hotel, or Airbnb.

Why Newcastle Brides Choose Mobile Wedding Hair & Makeup
Choosing a mobile artist isn’t just about convenience – it genuinely transforms your wedding morning. Here’s what my Newcastle brides tell me makes the difference:
There’s no rushing out the door before you’re ready. No navigating traffic in your gown. No arriving at a salon and feeling like you’re on someone else’s schedule. Instead, your getting-ready space — whether that’s a hotel suite at the Crystalbrook, your childhood home in Hamilton, or a rented terrace in Cooks Hill — becomes part of the day itself.
It also means your bridal party stays together. that energy on the morning of a wedding – the laughter, the happy tears, the little moments – those happen in the room where you’re all getting ready together. I wouldn’t trade that for anything, and neither do my brides.
Newcastle Wedding Venues
Newcastle Wedding Venues I Love Working At
Crystalbrook Kingsley
Crystalbrook Kingsley is one of my favourite places to work in Newcastle — the suites are gorgeous and spacious, with beautiful natural light that makes hair and makeup look truly luminous from the very first touch. The team there are wonderfully warm and welcoming, and the whole hotel has an energy that sets brides completely at ease on their morning.
Rydges Newcastle
Rydges has generously sized rooms with big windows that let in the kind of soft, even light I love for makeup — it makes such a difference to the finished result. It’s also perfectly positioned close to so many beautiful ceremony locations, so the morning always flows without any rushing.
Noah's on the Beach
There’s something truly magical about getting ready with the ocean stretching out in front of you, and Noah’s delivers that in the most effortless way. I adore working here — the relaxed coastal atmosphere creates a calm, joyful energy that carries right through into the wedding day.
QT Newcastle
QT Newcastle is one of those hotels where the bold, beautifully designed interiors get the whole bridal party excited the moment they walk in — the rooms are stylish and filled with gorgeous natural light that makes every detail of hair and makeup look its absolute best. I love working here; there’s a creative, luxurious energy that makes the whole morning feel like a real occasion.
Novotel Newcastle Beach
Novotel Newcastle Beach has a wonderful sense of occasion — the rooms are well-appointed and bright, with that beautiful proximity to the foreshore that makes the whole morning feel relaxed and unhurried. It’s one of those venues where everything just flows; brides arrive at their ceremony feeling calm, polished, and completely ready.
Customs House Newcastle
Customs House is one of Newcastle’s most iconic wedding spaces — the heritage architecture and grand interiors create a backdrop that is simply stunning from the very first photograph. I travel to wherever my brides are getting ready nearby, and they arrive at Customs House looking and feeling their absolute best, ready to make the most of that extraordinary setting.
Elopements and Intimate Weddings
Hair and Makeup for Elopements & Intimate Weddings
Elopements and intimate weddings are some of my favourite days to be part of — and Newcastle has a quietly stunning range of settings for them. A harbour-view ceremony at Customs House, a clifftop exchange at Nobby’s, an intimate dinner in a heritage room in the CBD — small weddings in Newcastle never feel like they’re missing anything. There’s a stillness to a day that’s just about the two of you and the people who matter most, and I find that kind of morning genuinely moving to be part of.
For elopements and micro-weddings, my one-artist approach works beautifully — no team, no fuss, just a calm and unhurried getting-ready morning wherever you’re based. I do have a minimum booking of three people for both hair and makeup for Newcastle travel, though Newcastle and Lake Macquarie bookings carry no travel fee, which makes smaller celebrations that little bit easier to plan. The same full kit and the same care — regardless of how many seats are at your ceremony.
Newcastle Mother's of the Bride
Mother of the Bride Hair and Makeup — You Deserve to Look Radiant Too
Mothers of the bride and mothers of the groom are always a highlight of my morning — and I mean that genuinely. Newcastle weddings tend to bring together beautiful, close-knit families, and making sure every woman in that room feels her absolute best is something I take real pride in. Whether you want something timeless and refined or soft and understated, I’ll work with your vision and make sure you feel like yourself — just the very best version. You can find everything about mother of the bride hair and makeup and mother of the groom hair and makeup on their dedicated pages.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you travel to all Newcastle suburbs?
Yes — I cover all of Newcastle and surrounding suburbs at no extra travel cost. I only ask that you cover any parking fees on the day.
What time do you arrive on the wedding morning?
I always arrive 15 minutes early to set up before we begin. Your start time will be confirmed in your booking details based on your ceremony time and the size of your bridal party.
Do you work with a team for large bridal parties?
For larger parties I bring additional qualified stylists so everyone is ready on time. I always remain the lead artist and personally handle all bride services.
How far in advance should I book?
Newcastle weddings book out quickly — especially spring and autumn Saturdays. I recommend enquiring at least 12 months in advance to secure your date, though I do sometimes have last-minute availability.
Do you do airbrush makeup for Newcastle Weddings?
I offer both traditional and airbrush makeup application depending on skin type, the look you're after, and what will photograph best on your wedding day. We'll talk through the options at your trial to find the perfect fit for you.
Can you do hair only, or makeup only?
Absolutely. While many of my brides book both hair and makeup with me, I'm very happy to do one or the other. Just let me know what you need when you enquire and I'll put together the right quote for you.
Do you do mothers of the bride and bridesmaids?
Yes - and I love it. Making the whole bridal party feel equally beautiful is a big part of what makes the morning special. Pricing for bridesmaids and mothers is on my pricing page, and for larger parties I bring additional qualified stylists so everyone is ready on time.
