Getting ready at Coorabell Estate

Coorabell Estate sits tucked down a quiet country lane in the Byron hinterland, thirty acres of rolling green lawn and rainforest with the most beautiful open sky above it. It is one of our favourite corners of the shire to work in, the kind of place where the morning starts slow and the light pours in soft and golden. We come to you here, setting up wherever you are getting ready so your day can unfold gently, without the rush of driving anywhere.

We are Tina and Kristen, sisters who both trained in hair and makeup, and we travel to the couple rather than asking you to come to us. At Coorabell that usually means the homestead, with its open-plan living and big windows looking out over the lawns, so there is space for you, your people, and a slow cup of coffee while we work. Our looks are natural, soft and a little sun-kissed, made for the warm Byron light and built to hold through a long hinterland day.

Because the estate is set away from town on its own private grounds, your morning is calm and unhurried. We arrive with everything we need, settle in, and let the getting-ready hours feel like part of the celebration rather than a thing to tick off before it.

Local knowledge

Why Coorabell Estate is a dream to get ready at

Soft hinterland light

The homestead windows catch a gentle, diffused morning light off the open lawns, the kind that is so flattering for getting-ready photos and lets us see exactly how your makeup will read in natural Byron sun.

Space to spread out

With open-plan living and room for the whole bridal party, there is no crowding around one little mirror. We can set up a proper station while everyone relaxes, grazes and gets ready together at an easy pace.

Calm and private

Tucked down its own country lane on thirty private acres, Coorabell is wonderfully quiet in the morning. No traffic, no rush to be somewhere, just a slow start that lets the day begin the way it should.

A calm morning

Sample wedding-morning timeline

A gentle guide to how a Coorabell Estate morning tends to flow with us. We build a custom timeline around your ceremony time, party size and photographer once we have your details.

From 7:00am
We arrive and set up
We drive in down the lane and set up our station at the homestead, usually by the big windows where the light is best. Kettle on, music low, no rush.
7:30am
Bridal party begins
We start on the bridal party first, working through hair and makeup together so everyone is photo-ready and relaxed well before the bride.
10:00am
The bride's turn
We move to you for your hair and makeup, taking our time to get every detail right for a soft, sun-kissed look made to last the whole day.
11:30am
Final touches
A last check of everyone together, a few setting touches, and any veil or accessory placement before photos begin.
Before the ceremony
We hand you over to the day
You step out onto the lawns feeling like yourself, only a little more glowing, ready for the walk down the aisle.
Experience you can trust

The Tina Kristen experience at Coorabell

We work as a pair of sisters who genuinely love this part of the day, the quiet getting-ready hours before everything begins. At Coorabell that means arriving early, settling into the homestead, and letting the morning move at its own gentle pace while the hinterland wakes up around you.

Because we both do hair and makeup, we move through your bridal party smoothly and stay with you right up until it is time to step out onto the lawns. No handing you between strangers, no rushing, just two people who know what they are doing and want your morning to feel as calm and lovely as the place itself.

Our style is soft, natural and sun-kissed, always made to look like the best version of you rather than someone else. It is a look built for Byron light and for a long day outdoors, so you can relax and simply enjoy your wedding at Coorabell Estate.

Venue FAQs

Do you travel out to Coorabell Estate? +

Yes, always. We are a fully mobile service and we come to you. Coorabell is one of our favourite hinterland venues, roughly 25 minutes from Byron township, and we bring everything we need to set up right where you are getting ready.

Where at the estate do you set up? +

Usually the homestead, in the open-plan living area near the big windows where the morning light is soft and even. There is plenty of room for the whole bridal party, so we can work comfortably while everyone relaxes together.

Will my makeup last through a long hinterland day? +

That is exactly what we build it for. Our looks are natural and soft but properly long-wearing, made for the warm Byron climate so they hold up through an outdoor ceremony, photos on the lawns and dancing into the evening.

Do you do both hair and makeup? +

We do. Tina and Kristen are sisters who both trained in hair and makeup, so between the two of us we can look after your whole bridal party without bringing in extra artists. It keeps the morning calm and the look consistent.

How far ahead should I book? +

As early as you can, especially for peak Byron wedding season. Coorabell hosts a limited number of weddings each year and our calendar fills well in advance, so once you have your date locked in, reach out and we will hold it for you.
