Do you do wedding makeup in Bethel and Sunday River?
Bethel and the Sunday River area bring mountain weather into the plan. Mornings are cool even in summer, and winter weddings here are a real thing, which changes both my drive and your look. Cold dry air makes skin tight and flaky, so I spend more time on prep and hydration before any base goes on, and I keep powder to a minimum. Brides here often want warm and natural with a stronger eye, because a soft look can disappear against big scenery and snow. Getting ready rooms in mountain lodging are often dim, so I bring my own light rather than trusting a window. For a winter date I watch the forecast and plan to leave much earlier, and if the roads look bad I would rather come the night before than call you from Route 26.

Travel to Bethel and Sunday River is about $260, quoted for your exact location at booking. That is the round trip drive time from Lewiston at $100 per hour, and it is an estimate rather than a fixed quote.
A 50 percent deposit holds your date. The balance is due two weeks before the wedding.
Long drives like Bar Harbor, Rangeley or Jackson are covered by the same $100 per hour round trip travel fee. When an overnight makes sense, I handle the accommodations and it is settled case by case at booking.
Everything is confirmed in writing before your date is held.
How long is the drive to Bethel and Sunday River?
From the studio inside Tucci & Co Salon in Lewiston, Bethel and Sunday River is about an hour and fifteen minutes away, about 55 miles. Winter dates get an earlier departure, and I will discuss coming the night before if the forecast turns. I work one wedding per date, so the morning schedule is built around your ceremony time rather than squeezed between jobs.
Plan about an hour for the bride and 30 to 45 minutes for each additional person. Send your ceremony time and I will work backwards from it with you.
Everything included with bridal makeup, and how I run the morning, is on my Maine wedding makeup page.
How should I plan a wedding morning in Bethel and Sunday River?
Around Bethel and Sunday River, people usually get ready in a slopeside condo, a ski lodge room, a mountain rental or a farmhouse in the valley. Lodge rooms can be dark with small windows, so I bring my own lighting and ask for the brightest corner.
The drive from Lewiston is about an hour and fifteen minutes, about 55 miles, and travel is about $260 round trip at $100 per hour, confirmed at booking. In winter I leave earlier, and if the forecast turns, I talk with you about whether I should come the night before.
Mountain air is cold and dry, and indoor heat dries skin even more. I spend longer on moisture before any makeup, use creams where they sit better than powder, and keep the look soft so it does not cling to dry patches. In summer the valley can be warm, so I switch to lighter layers.
Your preview is at my Lewiston studio, and for a mountain wedding it is worth bringing your plan for the day: a chairlift ride, photos on a ridge or a reception in a lodge. Winter light in the mountains is cool and bright off the snow, so a little warmth in the cheeks and lips keeps you from looking washed out. In summer, bugs and heat can be part of an outdoor ceremony, so I keep the base light and easy to blot.
Mountain weekends often bring guests in from out of state, and some arrive late the night before. When you send the final headcount, mark anyone who might be running behind, and I will place them later in the schedule. If you are staying slopeside or in a condo, pick the room with the biggest window, since afternoon shadows come early in the mountains. Each person you add is $130, and the travel figure for Bethel is confirmed when you book.
For the party, a table near a window with an outlet nearby works well. Give me your ready time and headcount and I will build the order. Each extra person is $130.
How should I plan a mountain wedding morning?
A condo by the slopes and a farmhouse in the valley can have very different light and access. Tell me whether there are stairs to the room, where the nearest outlet is and whether I can use a table away from the area where people are dressing. I bring lighting for a darker lodge room. If photos are outside, let me know when everyone needs to be dressed and ready to go, not only when the ceremony begins.
Travel is estimated using $100 per hour of round trip drive time from Lewiston and confirmed for your actual address. In winter I look at the forecast with the start time in mind, and an overnight can be discussed case by case for a very early day. I would rather build a little room into the arrival plan than count on mountain roads behaving like a summer drive. Send the final headcount when it is settled so each person has a turn before the group heads outside.
