A 40% non-refundable retainer is required to reserve your wedding date and secure your beauty team.

Dates are not held without a signed contract and retainer. Your remaining balance is due by the date outlined in your invoice prior to the wedding.

This structure allows us to staff appropriately, protect artist compensation, and give your event the care it deserves.

Please allow 24-48 business hours for responses. During peak seasons time may increase to 72 hours.

All brides that have sent an inquiry are encouraged to use our bridal booking portal HERE for ease of response, tracking files and sharing details!

To provide a calm, unrushed on-site experience, we require minimum service counts for certain dates and seasons.

• Peak Seasons: March, April, May, September & October

• Peak Season Minimum: $650 (on-site services)

• Partial cancellations do not reduce minimum requirements

These guidelines allow us to staff properly and maintain a consistent experience for every client.

Trials are designed as a collaborative, exploratory session to refine your vision.

• Trials are subject to availability

• Trial results may vary from wedding day due to skin, hair, lighting, or environmental changes

• Trial fees are non-refundable

• Missed or late trial appointments may result in forfeiture without refund

• Trials bookings do not secure your wedding date.

Trials help us align on preferences not create perfection pressure.

Wedding day schedules are built based on service count, artist availability, and overall flow.

• Start times are determined by the number of services booked

• Early start times of 6am or earlier will occur a $25 early bird fee per artist.

• Weddings requiring an artist to depart earlier than 5am will potentially requiring lodging based on the artists needs and preference.

• Services conclude at the scheduled time, even if delays occur

• Delays caused by the bridal party may reduce service time without refund

We strongly recommend buffer time to support a calm, unrushed morning.
