Mod Sent on 06/06/2025Amazing hair & make up team - made us feel so beautiful!
I'm so happy I booked Bella Bridal (specifically Jenna & Sarah) to do my hair and makeup. They did such an incredible job and made me and my girls feel so beautiful - even with different hair types and skin tones. Jenna and Sarah both listened to everyone's vision and executed it perfectly. They also listened to my trial feedback and made adjustments on the wedding day. On top of that, I just love their friendly personality and energy. They both made us feel very at ease on the big day. Communications with Jenna, Sarah, and Jocelyn was also very easy and organized. Highly recommend! -

From the beginning, Jocelyn was so helpful in helping me book my services for my wedding day, even though I was so indecisive ! Then, she was extremely flexible when I had to postpone my wedding due to COVID. On my wedding day, Alexandra was my girl and I don't think I could've had a better experience. During my trial, I gave her maybe two notes for my hair and makeup and she gave me exactly what I wanted. Then, she recreated it during my wedding day, and we had the best time! She truly made me feel the most beautiful I've ever felt. Would work with Bella Bridal over and over again. -

Sarah Sent on 10/02/2021Amazing hair and makeup team!
So thankful for Bella Bridal (and Ashlee, who was my lead artist for our wedding day!)! My original hair and makeup vendor canceled a few weeks before our wedding due to a COVID outbreak on their team. They were kind enough to connect me with Bella Bridal who was thankfully still available for our date! Jocelyn quickly got our contract set up and scheduled a trial for me with Ashlee. The trial was impeccable and on the actual day, the hair and makeup for me, my bridesmaids, my mom and mother-in-law all turned out BEAUTIFULLY. I always say that wedding beauty can be hit or miss (I've been in a few bridal parties where it's been a miss!), but Bella Bridal is a HIT. They are organized, prompt, and do beautiful hair and makeup! If they're available for your date, book them! -

Bella Bridal is really good at what they do. Being a wedding planner and a recent bride, I have worked with them as a vendor and a client. First off, I loved my hair and makeup on my wedding day. Jocelyn immediately got my vibe and nailed it. She's so easy to be around, I felt so comfortable and knew I was in good hands. They are also very organized on the planning side. They provide a timeline/beauty schedule, which not all stylists do. It's so helpful to make sure your wedding prep stays on time, as I assure you that you don't want to start your day behind schedule. I truly can't recommend Bella Bridal enough! They are wonderful! -

Jocelyn and her team are absolutely amazing! From day one Jocelyn was very responsive and helpful with all my inquiries! Her personality is so bubbly and she is amazing at what she does. She listens to what you want and makes sure you are happy. I am picky and even had her change my hair twice on my wedding day and she did it with a smile! I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup and I truly felt like a princess. So thankful for Jocelyn and her team! -

I chose Bella Bridal NV for my wedding this October at Viansa Winery in Sonoma. I had the privilege of working with Jenna and Brenda on my wedding day and I am so happy that I did. These ladies are so sweet and true artists of their crafts. Jocelyn made the booking process a breeze and also offered some helpful beauty tips to help me get bridal ready. All of these ladies were so sweet and put me at ease when I was so nervous about the big day.
Brenda did such an incredible job on my makeup. I looked like an enhanced version of myself. Perfectly polished and wedding ready. My makeup lasted through all the happy tears, dancing, and festivities of the day without looking like I was wearing a mask. The individual lashes were a real game changer- I didn’t feel them at all and they looked amazing.
Jenna gave me the most beautiful hair I could have ever imagined! I had ordered some clip in extensions and after playing with them a bit myself I was hesitant to use them because I thought they looked so fake. But Jenna worked her magic and WOW- I have never looked better. I am so glad she used them. I have joked with my new husband that I want to order an album of just the wedding photos of the back of my head because I was so in love with my hair.
My sister’s updo was so pretty and she, my mom, and MIL also looked perfect and were really happy with how their HAMU turned out too!
I looked like the best possible version of myself on my wedding day. I felt confident and beautiful but still like myself as every bride should. Brenda and Jenna were incredibly professional and responsive and I wish they could get me ready every day. I would definitely recommend using Bella Bridal Napa Valley!

Meghan Sent on 11/27/2018Jocelyn was the calm I needed on my big day!
Jocelyn and her team did the hair and makeup for my wedding and it was perfect! When thinking about what I wanted my hair to look like I was all over the place & during my trial Jocelyn worked her magic! Not only did she have me laughing through my entire trial she was the calm I needed in the room on my big day. I kept calling her my honorary bridesmaid because she went above and beyond to make sure I had the best day ever. She even safety pinned my train when it ripped!! Her team was so great to work with and their whole dynamic as a group made the day fun! I highly recommend booking Jocelyn and her team! -
Gwenn Sent on 08/26/2018Jocelyn and the team at Bella Bridal are incredible! They do such an incredible job, are extremely professional and at the same time so fun to be around. We hired three of their team members (Tiffany, Nikole, and Jocelyn) for five services each (15 services total!) for our wedding in August. They were prompt and stuck to a tight timeline, which made our day so much better. We didn’t have to worry about things running over, they were on it! Jocelyn was so accommodating when we asked if she could stay extra for touch-ups. Very great team and we are already referring them to friends and family who have upcoming weddings in the area!

User2066126 Sent on 03/13/2015I was married at V. Sattui Winery on November 1st 2014 and I choose Bella Bridal after meeting Jocelyn and having a trial run with my bridal make up and hair. She such a warm and sweet lady! I immediately clicked with her and was also blown away by her work. The studio is so cute. Her services were set a good value and it allowed me to also pay for my bridemaid's make up as her costs were lower than others, but the quality was just as great. I hope to be back out there for our 1 year anniversary and plan to stop by and get my make up done again just for fun actually - hah! -

Jacquelyn Sent on 01/05/2015Jocelyn is such a wonderful person, and getting to work with her for hair/make-up on my wedding day was absolutely a pleasure.
Jocelyn and one of her staff members did hair and make-up for my bridal party, and all of the girls were so happy with the way they looked. Everyone ended up with a fresh, chic hairstyle that looked amazing in photographs.
Of course, I loved my hair and make-up for our wedding. Jocelyn totally glammed me up and gave me a look that I loved. Something I appreciated her for just as much, though, was how much she was able to read the mood in the bridal prep room and adapt to it. The atmosphere was a bit stressful, and tension was building as the ceremony approached. Jocelyn eased any stress that was present in the room, and she put me in the exact right mental place to walk down the aisle and meet my prince charming. Jocelyn has a pleasant, bubbly personality - she is down to earth and can lift any spirit.
Bella Bridal is so lovely to work with, and I highly recommend them to any bride who wants to look beautiful on her wedding day! -

Do you want to look and feel your best on your wedding day? Do you want your bridesmaids, MOH, mom, and MIL to be pampered by the best of the best? Look no further than Bella Bridal! I loved using Bella Bridal for my wedding. I truly felt like a movie star – my hair and makeup was STUNNING! Your hair and makeup artists are some of the first people you interact with on your wedding day and this amazing group of gals truly set the tone for such a fun, exciting day. My stylist, Ashlee, remembered exactly what I wanted from my hair and makeup trial 6 months prior, and my bridesmaids, MOH, mom, and MIL loved the experiences they had with the other stylists. I was a bride with a LOT of questions leading up to the Big Day, and the owner, Jocelyn, was so patient and reassuring with me. She and her team were kind and professional, and the entire process, from first reaching out to them all the way up through the Big Day, was easy and streamlined. I highly recommend Bella Bridal for all your hair and makeup needs! -

Could not have felt more beautiful!
I am so happy that I went with Bella Bridal Napa Valley for my beauty team on my wedding day. It can be hard to narrow down from all the options out there, but after looking at their instagram, reading their reviews and seeing photos they were tagged in, I knew that they were the right team for me and my gals.
Ashley was who did my bridal makeup and hair and I couldn't recommend her more! She was super attentive, creative and a good listener. During our trial, she was more than happy to try out a few things to make sure that I felt 100% about the big day.
On the day of, I realized that I wanted my bun to be different than what we did during our trial. Ashley was all smiles and said "let's do it" which made me feel super confidant in her. How my hair turned out is still one of my favorite parts of the entire day!
All of the ladies who did the bridesmaids hair & makeup were fabulous as well. They were totally understandable that some girls were planning to do their own and it was not awkward at all.
If you will be having multiple artists for getting ready, I recommend that you have the checks written out ahead of time so on the day of all you need to worry about is handing it over vs how much do you owe who.
Thank you again Bella Bridal, the photos speak for themselves with how great your team is! -

Jacqlyn Sent on 07/29/2018Jocelyn and team were fantastic to work with on my wedding day. I had a large wedding party (9 girls total) along with a slew of moms, grandmas, etc who all wanted their hair and makeup done. After doing much research, I decided on Bella Bridal because of the large team that Jocelyn manages so that we weren't tight on time day of.
Jocelyn and team were prompt, ran on schedule (even early!) and were flexible. Jocelyn herself is an incredible talent - she knows how to take your vision and make it come to life, and is never too proud to make corrections when you change your mind on something. She is also a blast to hang out with and is super accommodating.
All to say, day of, I felt like a princess and all of my girls looked great too. I'd highly recommend Bella Bridal if you're looking for a professional, dependable service! -

Olivia Sent on 12/08/2018Loved my stylists!
I loved my beauty specialists Amber (hair) and Brenda (make-up). They were so sweet and absolutely nailed the look I was aiming for for my wedding in St. Helena in November 2018. I highly recommend a trial appointment in their St Helena studio (also next to EV Floral Design). The trial gave me a chance to get to know these lovely girls and also to realize how my vision was interpreted in their eyes. It gave me a chance to correct my directions so that we perfectly understood the look on the big day. And - it was great seeing a familiar face during the chaos of the day! They both came totally prepared with chairs, extra lights, and all the equipment needed for the day.
I found that coordinating with Jocelyn was better done by phone than email. She's very sweet but there were a few times that we had miscommunications that were more easily rectified by a simple phone call.
I paid for a few hours of overtime so that Brenda could fix my make-up after my ceremony (I cried a lot!). That was incredibly helpful and she was so sweet during the process (I only wish I had brought Visine). Both my hair and make-up stayed perfectly in place the entire night (and my wedding ended at 1:00am!).
Last tip - move your schedule up by 30 minutes, you'll need the extra time!! Just trust me : ) -

We hired Bella Bridal for bride, 3 bridesmaids, and mother of the bride. The highlight of the hair/makeup process was hands down when we handed my mom a mirror after her makeup trial, and she started crying saying she hadn’t felt so beautiful in a long time. I can’t imagine not doing the trial, despite the extra cost, as we tweaked almost everything about my makeup after that process. I had a very tough time picking a hair/makeup vendor - as someone who used to do my own full face of makeup each day, but recently developed skin sensitivities, my headspace is complex and I came in with worries about reacting to products. I have mixed feelings overall, as a clean updo was important, but a bit of my low bun fell down. Overall, I think they delivered what they promised, which is a very natural “no-makeup” look. The subtle fake lashes were probably my favorite - they looked so real and lasted well all day. Remember to provide your own lip color for reapplications throughought the day.
