Clear pricing for an
unhurried morning.
Every Updo’s wedding is one package price wherever we travel, with a bridal preview included, so the number you see is the number you plan around. Travel is included in the Triad and quoted by distance beyond it. Build your morning below and watch your estimate update as you go.
Four choices,
your real number.
Tell us where, who’s in the chair, and how much you want held for you. Your estimate updates live. The package price is the same wherever we travel; for weddings outside the Triad, travel is quoted by distance and confirmed in your quote.

The Traveling
Chair.
The four packages cover a wedding morning. The Traveling Chair is for the whole weekend: a private, dedicated senior team for a destination or multi-day celebration, somewhere you love, for a handful of weekends a year.
Shaped entirely around your weekend, by custom quote. Professional fee only; team travel and accommodations are arranged at cost, never marked up.
Before you
inquire.
Anything we missed? We’re a quick email or phone call away.
How does travel work, and is it included?
Our package prices are the same wherever we travel. In the Piedmont Triad, travel is included with no surcharge. Beyond the Triad, a travel fee is added, quoted by distance and confirmed in your written quote; the farthest destinations also add an overnight stay for the team. There is never a hidden mileage line, so you see exactly what travel costs in your proposal before you book.
When should I schedule my bridal preview?
A preview sets the direction for hair, makeup, and accessories. We recommend scheduling it 8 to 12 weeks before the wedding, usually in-studio, or when you’re already nearby. A bridal preview is included in every tier.
How long does hair and makeup take on the wedding day?
We plan around your ceremony time, photos, and party size to set your start time. We send an appropriate number of artists so most parties finish in about three hours; smaller parties often finish sooner, and the largest may run a little longer.
How many people can you style in one morning?
We scale the team to your headcount and desired finish time. Large parties run smoothly with clear rotations and steady pacing. There is no party too big.
What does the beauty assistant do?
They handle touch-ups, veil placement, and accessory checks for camera-ready details, and reset stations to keep tools moving between artists. An assistant is included from Gold upward; Diamond brings a Team Lead at your side for the day.
Can we book just hair, or just makeup?
Yes. Hair-only and makeup-only are available for both the bride and party members. Tell us what you have in mind in your inquiry and we will send those rates.
Will my look last through humidity and pollen?
We choose hold and complexion finishes based on humidity, wind, and outdoor portraits, and finish with flyaway control and a final photo check before you step outside.
How do we book?
Send your date, venue, and party size through our contact form. We’ll confirm availability and follow up with everything we need to build your morning. We recommend booking 12–18 months ahead.
Do you travel for destination or multi-day weddings?
Yes. For a single wedding day we travel across the Carolinas. The package price is the same wherever we go; outside the Triad a travel fee is quoted by distance, and the farthest destinations add an overnight stay for the team, both confirmed in your quote. For a destination or multi-day celebration, The Traveling Chair brings a dedicated senior team for the whole weekend, priced as a custom quote. Read more on its page, or begin a private inquiry.
