The short answer

The Hill is Newcastle's heritage quarter, all Victorian terraces and harbour views, and Bellus works inside those houses rather than asking anyone to leave them. Amanda Frost brings hair and makeup to the terrace or the apartment and finds the window with the best light to work by. The Hill is inside the free travel zone, so the only extra on the day is somewhere to park on a steep street.

The Hill questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does hair and makeup cost for a wedding on The Hill?

A wedding on The Hill is priced the same as anywhere else in Newcastle. The bride is $320 for hair and makeup, being $160 each. Bridesmaids are $150 per service, mothers of the bride and groom are $130 for makeup, and flower girls start at $60. There is no travel fee, though street parking around the terraces is worth planning for. Trials are $150 each and a $300 deposit holds the date.

I'm getting married at Customs House Newcastle, do you know the venue?

I do, and it's a beautiful space. The natural light from the harbour is stunning for photography. I'll ensure your hair and makeup photograph perfectly and last the entire day and evening.

Do you do hair and makeup packages for my bridal party?

I prefer to customise a quote - taylored exactly to your bridal party needs. That way you don't pay for anything you don't want or need.

Is a trial compulsory?

It's not compulsory, but I strongly recommend it for every bride. A trial means we arrive on the wedding morning with a clear plan, a look you love, and no uncertainty. It makes the whole morning calmer and more enjoyable.
