Our Connection to the Coast
Growing up, our childhood was spent on the Mendocino Coast. We spent multiple weekends going to the beach, fishing with our dad, going abalone diving, hiking, kayaking, and taking in all the beauty that the north coast has to offer. To this day we have family up on the coast and spend as much time there as we possibly can. When we began doing bridal services and saw how amazing the bridal community was up north, we felt so blessed to be able to work with all our amazing couples who also share a similar love for this magical place.
How does it work for booking Beauty on Set for the coast?
We live in the Bay Area but have family up in Mendocino. This keeps our travel cost down so our brides do not have to pay for overnight accommodations as we stay with family. We do require a mileage fee that comes to $100 per artist for this location. We host bridal trials out of our studio in Walnut Creek, Ca which works well for our brides located in the Bay Area. If you are not located in the Bay Area, we can chat about other options for your bridal trial. We have our team artist, Jordyn who is located on the coast as well! If Mollie, Olivia, or Jordyn is fully booked for your date, we can pull artist from our Bay Area team. Our Bay Area team artist would require overnight accommodations.
Mendocino Faves + Raves
Adventure.
Horseback riding at Ross Ranch: This is a ranch out of Elk (15 minutes from Heritage house). You can go horseback riding on the beach. Highly recommended if you are up for an adventure.
Camping at Mendocino Grove: This is a really fun"glamping" spot that would be cool to check out while you are up there. We have our family reunion there every year. Some of our brides have done their bachelorette and weddings there as well!
Kayaking at Catch a Canoe: We recommend booking in advance as they tend to book up.
Beaches: Big River Beach, Glass beach, & Navarro Beach are our faves!
