FOR BRIDES & INTIMATE BRIDAL PARTIES
As an artist specializing in intimate bridal groups, I focus on providing a luxurious, relaxed experience, ensuring each guest receives the attention they deserve. I can accommodate bookings for up to five people, and I also offer bridal-only packages for brides who want the full experience without a bridal party.
I am available to travel beyond the San Francisco Bay Area, with extended travel fees applicable depending on location.

HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
THE EXPERIENCE
Bridal Makeup Preview “Trial”
I highly recommend scheduling a bridal trial in the weeks or months leading up to your wedding day. During our time together, I’ll take the opportunity to truly get to know you—your personal style, preferences, and how you envision yourself walking down the aisle. You’re welcome to bring inspiration photos, Pinterest board, or anything that reflects your dream look.
With my expertise and your vision, we’ll create a look that feels timeless, confident, and authentically you. On your wedding day, all you’ll need to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy every moment. Please note: trials are available exclusively for booked brides.
Wedding Day
On your wedding day, I’ll arrive early to set up near a window for the best natural light. A detailed makeup schedule will be provided to keep the morning running seamlessly and on time. Before my departure, I’ll offer complimentary touch-ups for anyone who received makeup services.
For brides who wish for extended pampering, my Bridal Touch-Up Concierge Service is available as an add-on — allowing me to stay by your side through your first look or ceremony, ensuring your makeup remains flawless and photo-ready at every moment.
FAQs
-
Unfortunately, due to very high demand, I am unable to offer bridal trials prior to securing a date, as doing so could risk another bride booking with a paid retainer and signed contract.
If you’re unsure about my artistry, I invite you to review my portfolio and Instagram to ensure you love at least 90% of the looks you see. My work is consistent with my signature timeless, elegant style and techniques, giving you confidence in the results on your wedding day.

Due to the nature of my business as a solo artist, I cannot accommodate additional services after the contract is signed. I maintain a strict maximum of five (5) people per booking, which ensures the highest level of attention and artistry for each client.
The only service that can be added later is the Bridal Touch-Up Concierge Service. For weekend bookings, I offer packages with a minimum of five services, which can be applied toward bridal party makeup or, for brides without an onsite bridal party, additional touch-up time to meet the minimum.
Elopement or City Hall bridal bookings are scheduled during the week at my private studio in Benicia. Please note that onsite services are not available for single bookings at this time.

This depends on your venue and their access policies. Many venues have later access times, which can create timing challenges on your wedding day. It is essential to obtain written permission from your venue to begin as early as needed.
Most wedding day beauty services start around 7:00 AM, and if early access isn’t permitted, an alternative location will need to be provided. Additionally, please ensure the space is suitable for makeup services: it should be spacious, well-lit with natural light, equipped with tables, chairs, outlets, and air conditioning to create the best experience for you and your bridal party.

Stefanie Weinapple Makeup is an independent artist and maintains a maximum service limit of five (5) people per booking, including the bride. Stefanie does not hire additional artists or coordinate teams.
If your bridal party exceeds this limit, it is the bride’s responsibility to hire a separate artist or team to provide services for the remaining members.
