FAQS
Where do you travel to in the UK?
I travel across the UK for my brides getting married in a wide range of locations — from private family estates to elegant venues in the city and countryside.
My team and I are highly experienced in large-scale weddings, and we manage all travel and logistics with care and precision, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
How far do you travel for destination weddings?
We travel worldwide. While Europe, including the Amalfi Coast, Lake Como, and the Greek Islands is where we work most often, recent weddings have taken us as far as Mexico, with upcoming celebrations in the Bahamas and other parts of the Caribbean.
I’ll travel wherever my brides need me. No destination is too far when it comes to creating our signature, refined beauty experience. You can view our most recent destination weddings here.
Do you offer services across multiple events (welcome dinner, rehearsal, etc.)?
Yes, we specialise in multi-event weddings and understand that large-scale celebrations often unfold across several days.
For UK weddings, additional hair and makeup services can be added for both the bride and bridal party, as needed.
For destination weddings, pre-wedding styling such as the welcome dinner or rehearsal is included as part of the bridal beauty experience.
Can you stay on for touch-ups or a second look later in the day?
Absolutely. Most of my brides choose to have me stay on for touch-ups throughout the day, whether it’s refreshing their look, maintaining hair and makeup during portraits, or transitioning into a second evening style.
For UK weddings, I offer flexible hourly options so a bride can choose the level of support that suits best.
For destination weddings, two hours of additional coverage are already included in the service, and brides are welcome to extend this if they’d like continued support throughout the day and into the evening.
If you’d like the full brochure with all options and details, please complete the contact form here, and I’ll be happy to send it over.
I’d like a trial before the day, how do they work?
Yes, absolutely. A trial is our session to refine and perfect the look for the wedding day.
Once the booking is confirmed, you’ll receive access to my calendar via your personal client portal, where you’re welcome to select your preferred date.
Trials usually take place at my beautiful garden studio by the sea in Whitstable, Kent. However, if you’d prefer a different location, I’m happy to provide a custom quote for travel.
I can’t fit in a trial, or I’m not based in the UK, what happens then?
Please don’t worry at all, I work with many brides based overseas, and we can absolutely ensure you feel completely at ease.
If a trial isn’t possible, I recommend booking my Signature Bridal Service, which allows us more time together on the wedding morning for a calm and considered start to your day.
Ahead of the wedding, I’ll arrange a Zoom consultation so we can go over every detail, from your hair and makeup vision to your dress, styling, and schedule. This process works seamlessly, and combined with the additional time on the day, ensures we create a look you feel confident and truly happy with.
How long will I need to allow to get ready on the morning of the wedding?
I focus on an elegant, editorial approach to bridal styling, and one of the greatest joys of my work is creating a beautifully serene experience for my brides on their wedding morning.
I don’t believe in rushing you. Typically, you can expect to be in the chair for around two hours for hair, and approximately 1 hour 30 minutes for makeup (don’t worry — breaks are always included).
Depending on which bridal service you choose, my full focus is on you, the bride, while my trusted team looks after your bridal party. I’ll offer a suggested start time at the point of booking, and your final wedding morning timeline will be created after your trial, tailored to your day.
What’s included in your bridal beauty experience?
Without giving away all the little surprises, I pride myself on guiding you through this journey with care and intention.
From the moment you become a JHM bride, the experience begins. My role goes far beyond styling: I’m here to support you every step of the way, from shaping your bridal hair and makeup vision to being a calm and reassuring presence on the day itself.
There are thoughtful touch points woven throughout our time together, all designed to help you feel supported, confident, and excited for what’s to come.
How do I book?
Please head over to the contact page and submit your enquiry form. This is the first step in starting your bridal beauty journey with me. You’ll be invited to book a consultation call, should you wish, so we can connect and explore your plans in more detail. Following our call, I’ll prepare a personalised proposal outlining your quote, recommended services, and any optional add-ons you may wish to include. The proposal will also guide you through the next steps to confirm the booking with ease. As I only take on a limited number of weddings each year, early booking is highly recommended to ensure availability — especially for destination and multi-day celebrations.

KIND WORDS

I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day, and Jess was absolutely key to that.
Her approach to bridal hair and makeup is exquisite, and her calm nature was exactly what I needed for my wedding morning.
– CHARLOTTE

After the trials I had with Jess, I knew I could immediately cross hair and makeup off my list of ‘things I still have to worry about!
On the morning of my wedding, Jess blended in as if she were part of my family – it felt like we’d known her forever. She is talented, calm and professional. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Let’s Start Our Journey
I believe luxury should always feel personal. Maintaining this high level of service means I can only take on a small number of weddings each year. I’d love yours to be one of them.
