WAIHEKE FAQ's
AUCKLAND FAQ's
- 01While my permanent relocation to base my bridal business on Waiheke Island is now scheduled for next year, I am currently operating from Auckland City. I am fully available for both mainland and island weddings! For new bookings on Waiheke Island, a significantly reduced travel fee of an $85 flat rate will apply to cover transport from the mainland to Waiheke. I will require a pickup and drop off from the Waiheke Ferry Terminal to the location for getting ready. Thank you for your understanding and support during this transition period.
- 02Important Update for Confirmed Bookings:Please be assured that any existing, confirmed wedding bookings for Waiheke Island that have already been secured with a deposit and quoted with local or reduced travel fees remain current and will be fully honored as agreed. While my operational base remains in Auckland City until next year 2027, I am personally absorbing additional travel time costs and mainland transit costs for your date. Your quoted pricing, booking timeline, and wedding day structure will not change.
- 03Yes, absolutely! I am booking island dates for 2026 / 2027 and 2028 regularly and will simply travel over from downtown Auckland via the ferry to get you and your bridal party ready.
- 04As the sole lead artist I manage my own island transport logistics and administration. There are now 2 ferry companies travelling to and from Waiheke at staggered timings should there be any disruptions. Additionally I plan the wedding day schedule with a generous time buffer at the end of the day. If there is a severe weather pattern forecast for Waiheke, an option is travelling over the day before, this can be discussed at the time.
- 05I am currently based in Auckland City. While my permanent relocation to base my business on Waiheke Island is set for next year (2027), I am fully operational in Auckland and frequently travel to the island for destination weddings at a reduced travel rate of $85.
- 06Yes, they are reduced and am not charging for travel time to and from the venue. Because I am currently based in Auckland, I have significantly reduced my travel fee to Waiheke to $85 (which covers the ferry and city car parking fee). A pickup and drop off from the Waiheke ferry terminal to and from the getting ready location is required. Once my permanent relocation is complete next year, these travel fees will be removed. If the bridal party is larger and I require an additional artist from Auckland a travel fee for that artist will be quoted at the time of booking.
- 07My permanent relocation to base my bridal business on Waiheke Island is now scheduled for next year 2027, I am currently operating from Auckland City - available for both mainland and island weddings! For new bookings on Waiheke Island, a significantly reduced travel fee for myself of $85 will apply. NB: A pickup and drop off to Waiheke Ferry Terminal is required to/from the location where you will be getting ready. Thank you for your understanding and support during this transition period.
- 08Every wedding is considered depending on my availability. For an individual bride there will be a surcharge quoted at the time of enquiry.
- 09A 'Preview' is highly recommended as it is a good opportunity for us to meet and will ensure a seamless service on the day. The preview will either take place at a location tbc in central Auckland or at a location provided by myself. If you request a preview to fit in with your hens function, I will endeavour to work in with date if possible. A travel cost outside of the 20km radius will be quoted at the time of the preview (based on Auckland Central to your location).
- 10False eye lashes are included in the price (clusters or individuals) . An option to upgrade to 'OWNBEAUTY' corner lashes are available at $25 per set. A complete touchup kit for the bride includes a personalised cosmetic bag, touchup samples of concealer & lipstick; powder; beauty clips; makeup wipe; cue buds and additional items just in case. The bridal party receive a pouch including lipstick / gloss touchup kit and blotting paper, clips; mascara wand; cue tips and makeup wipe. I recommend bringing a lip liner to touchup throughout your wedding day or if you have a 'go to' lip colour you like - feel free to bring that for touchups.
- 11Generally speaking 1 hour per service. Once numbers are specified regarding services I will have a schedule/run sheet for the wedding day with your preferences kept in mind. Extra time is allowed for the Bride.
- 12MAKEUP: The brands in my kit include: Dior; Giorgio Armani; Makeup by Mario; Hourglass; Bobbi Brown; MAC; NARS; Rare Beauty; Charlotte Tilbury; Refy; Glossier; Chanel; RNS; Runway; Pat McGrath; Aleph; Cassidy; Rhode. HAIR: Dyson; GHD; Davines; WOW; Kevin Murphy; Eleven; Morrocan Oil; OISIS; Mason & Pearson; Davroe; L'Oreal.
- 13Yes I do and have done a lot of work outside of Auckland including Rarotonga; Samoa; Queenstown; Napier; Taupo; Kerikeri; Waiheke and Coromandel. Travel time will be quoted depending on location.
- 14Definitely. Your bridal makeup trial will be in Auckland regardless of my location. For convenience in both instances, I will come to you.
