Circa 1876 Wedding venue

Bridal Hair & Makeup at Circa 1876

Circa 1876 at The Convent is one of those Hunter Valley venues I genuinely love working near. The heritage homestead, the vines rolling away in every direction, the sense of a place steeped in history — it creates a wedding atmosphere that’s romantic in a way that feels earned rather than manufactured. Bridal hair and makeup at Circa 1876 and The Convent is a privilege, and I never take that lightly.
As a mobile artist, I travel to your accommodation on the morning of your wedding. Circa 1876 is set in the heart of Pokolbin, which means there’s beautiful accommodation all around it — from vineyard villas and country homesteads to charming cottages tucked into the vines. You stay where you love, and I come to you.

Getting Ready Near Circa 1876 and at The Convent

I’ve spent a lot of time in the Pokolbin corridor over the years — working at The Convent, Bimbadgen, Hunter Valley Gardens, and many other venues in this stretch of the Hunter. I know the accommodation, the roads, the morning light, and the logistical realities of a Pokolbin wedding morning intimately. That local knowledge genuinely helps me serve you better.
For Circa 1876 weddings, the getting-ready location is usually at The Convent itself, but properties on Broke Road, McDonalds Road, and along the Pokolbin Valley offer some of the region’s most beautiful bridal-morning settings — think views across the vines, morning sun streaming through large windows, and that particular Hunter Valley stillness before a day begins. I’ve worked in many of them and they’re consistently wonderful.

The Bridal Look at Circa 1876

The heritage aesthetic of Circa 1876 lends itself beautifully to romantic, softly feminine looks — think loose waves, floral-accented updos, dewy or luminous skin finishes. But I follow your lead entirely. If your vision is more modern and editorial against that beautiful backdrop, I love that challenge too.

What I bring to every wedding near Circa 1876 is technical skill developed over nearly two decades of bridal work, a genuine love of this region and its light, and a morning presence that is calm, warm, and focused entirely on you.
Airbrush makeup is part of my service — no extra charge. For an outdoor Audrey Wilkinson ceremony under the Hunter Valley sky, it’s a particularly good choice. You can read my google review for Circa 1876 here.
