Default Newbie who needs advice!!!

Hello to all!!!

My name is Sharon. I'm supposed to be getting married in July 2010 but because the airfare is more expensive in the summer, Im debating on making it earlier in the year. But I'm not to sure yet. I want to get married in Dominican Republic or another island that will be cost effective for my guest and their kids. If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to send me a reply. I also wanted to know if any of these resorts have good makeup artist and hair stylist or should I bring one with me?

I don't have any info on the DR but I know that if the hair and makeup stylist is in your budget you should fly them in.

Welcome! Are you working with a TA? That would probably be the easiest way to get some reliable info on your destination and a less expensive time to travel.
