Name the county and the town
A quote for a getting-ready spot in Napa is not a quote for one in Sonoma. Say which county, and name the town. Napa Valley and the Sonoma side of the trip leave Placer County in different directions. She needs the place she is going, not a region.
Local California travel within 30 miles of the Rocklin studio is included, and travel past that is $2 per mile, round trip. Napa and Sonoma are destination dates, so travel is quoted per event and confirmed before the retainer. There is no single published fee for both counties.
On the wedding morning she works where the party is getting ready. Bridal hair is about an hour and bridal makeup about an hour and a half, with less time for each bridesmaid, mother, or flower girl. Leave a 30 to 60 minute buffer, and put the be-ready time in the notes. A wedding needs at least four services, and a $150 assistant fee may apply for a large party.
What is included
The bridal menu is the same one she uses at home. Destination travel is a separate quote for that wedding. Nothing in the table includes the trip, and the retainer does not pay the table down.
| Service | Hair | Makeup | Both |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bride | $250 | $250 | $500 |
| Bridesmaid / mother of the bride or groom | $175 | $175 | $350 |
| Flower girl (8 & under) | $100 | $100 | $200 |
The trial at the Rocklin studio
The trial is in Rocklin, before the wedding trip, at her home studio. There is no travel fee. Hair is $115, makeup is $115, and both together are $220. Brides are encouraged to come in so the Napa or Sonoma morning is not the first pass at the look.
How booking works
Send the date when you have it. No published lead time is special to Napa or Sonoma. If she is open, travel for that town is quoted per event, and only then does the retainer reserve the day.
- 1
Inquire with the wedding date, the headcount, and hair, makeup, or both. Name Napa or Sonoma, and the town, in the location field.
- 2
Add the getting-ready location and the be-ready time in the notes so the per-event travel quote is for the right place.
- 3
After you have the travel quote, a $100 retainer and a signed contract hold the date. The retainer does not apply toward services.
- 4
The contract is requested at least 30 days before the wedding.
Payment accepted: cash, Venmo, Cash App, Apple Pay, and check.

Questions
Can you do both a Napa wedding and a Sonoma wedding?
She travels for weddings in Napa and in Sonoma. They are quoted separately. Tell her which county, and the town where you are getting ready, because a quote for one is not a quote for the other.
How is travel to Napa or Sonoma charged?
Destination travel is quoted per event. She confirms that amount before a retainer holds the date. These weddings are not booked as if they were inside the 30 miles of included travel around her Rocklin studio.
Where is the trial if the wedding is in Napa or Sonoma?
At her home studio in Rocklin, with no travel fee. Hair is $115, makeup is $115, and both together are $220. Brides are encouraged to schedule a trial before the wedding.
Your date
Ask about a Napa or Sonoma date
Send the wedding date and the town where the party is getting ready, in Napa County or Sonoma County. Alaena will say if she is open and will quote travel for that event.
