Makeup Artist for Stellenbosch Weddings

Iza Cloete is a bridal hair and makeup artist with over 12 years of experience, working at wedding venues across Stellenbosch and the Cape Winelands. Her style is consistent and deliberate: natural, refined and timeless — skin that looks like skin, hair that holds without looking stiff, from the first photo to the last dance.

Based in Durbanville, she is rated 5.0 on Google by brides across Cape Town and travels to Stellenbosch regularly for wedding mornings at wine farms, private estates and guest houses.

Wedding mornings at Stellenbosch venues

Stellenbosch wedding mornings usually happen on location — a wine-farm suite, a guest house or a private villa — and Iza comes to you, fully kitted, wherever you are getting ready. She manages the morning’s timeline calmly so hair and makeup finish on schedule for your photographer, and can stay on for touch-ups before the ceremony if your package includes it.

Your trial happens before the wedding at her private Durbanville studio — a calm, professional space about 35 minutes from Stellenbosch — on weekday mornings between 09:00 and 12:00.
