Ana

Jackie, thanks so much for this review! Michael and I have hired Juan Carlos as well to shoot our wedding. His photographs are our major investment for the wedding and we are beyond happy to have done so. I have been communicating back and forth with Juan Carlos on details concerning our wedding, and like you said, he's super quick to answer back. I love how honest he is and how invested he becomes with his clients. As a bride, and especially when planning the wedding over email and without the luxury of meeting the vendors in advance we both find communication with the vendors extremely important. I am super super excited to see how your pics turn out!! I think they'll definitely be worth the wait!

HA HA HA HA!!! that's hillarious! thanks for this it was the first post I read this morning and it totally made my day!

Great review!! thanks for sharing, your wedding looked beautiful

We both think family is super important and both our sets of parents are welcome whenever they choose. But I think that there is probably a reason why you feel the way that you do in this case, otherwise you probably wouldn't mind so much. Sometimes when we let things build up and build up they come out in the end, usually with more intensity than if they'd been addressed at the time. About a year ago I had a similar issue with my FI's mom, only she was being cold and evil to him. I just confronted her one on one, without my FI's involvement. I told her how she made us feel, and what I thought of her. It really helped. She's been a much better mother to him, and a great friend to me ever since. that's just my 2-cents :S sorry for rambling lol

Thank you for sharing these!!

Thats super organized!!! YEy Amy, your wedding is literally just around the corner I'm soooo excited for you.

I haven't heard a reply from them yet, but I do know that Edyta had her wedding in 2007 and the vendors raise their prices as well. While I do expect it to be a bit more, it shouldn't be $450...that's just my opinion though. So we'll see what they respond with I emailed them this afternoon.

Jackie you looked beautiful!!! I love your pics everything turned out amazing

Thanks for the fyi! I emailed one stable this morning for pricings...so we'll see what comes of this

Thanks girls! we're heading out to look for paper right now, since my FI is moving to Toronto in 3 weeks we have to get most of the wedding stuff before he leaves - at least the portion that were his responsibility - otherwise we won't be able to do anything together until I move there too this fall he he!

I posted it in the Cabo Vendors section

no that was the price that Maye gave me...maybe i'll call them myself today and just doublecheck its correct

everything looks so amazing! Where did you get all the info for the brochure - like the hotel pics, maps etc...?

I have seen their add too when I was searching for transportation but I haven't used them so I'm about 0 help

weird when I try to access your review throught the link it won't let me

I just emailed them right now so I'm excited to hear what their prices are.

Maye contacted them, they are the stable right beside dreams, I think the same one that Edyta used. Its $450 for 2 horses for 1 hour.

yea i did! that's where i got the idea...i'm so unoriginal i know

maybe a word doc is good, that way you can attach the pics, and have sections per item. I did an initial word doc that I sent Maye, but its pretty much all going to change now because I decided on different colors etc...

I don't know how I missed this thread, but you look incredible!!!

I thought I'd post my list of vendors that I am using for my wedding in April 2009 incase anyone needs a reference point on where to start with the wedding planning: Flowers - Florenta Flower Design Lola Florenta Flower Design - Home [email protected] +52.624.172.04.31 +52.624.165.05.27 Photographer - Juan Carlos Tapia-Zuckermann Juan Juan Carlos Tapia Photography [email protected] +52.624.146.04.54 Cake - Sweet Dreams Deena Abadiano Sweet Dreams Special Occasion Cakes, Los Cabos, Mexico [email protected] +52.624.142.63.18 Priest - Padre Juvencio Gonzalez [email protected] Dreams Contact - Yesica Garcia [email protected] +52.624.145.76.74 Fire Dancers - Lunas De Fuego Blanca Magos [email protected] Also for Transportation I am using Maye's contact (unless I find someone who is more affordable), they are Cora Transportation I believe, but I don't have a contact for them. For DJ, I'm also using Maye's contact of DJ Ricardo Ricardo Patiño dj richie [email protected] 011521.624.155.3948 011521.624.157.1352 DJ System - disc jockey entertainment in Mexico - dj services for your party in Mexico Violinist for the Church ceremony and horse rental for pictures is all through Maye's contacts as well. Hope this helps!!

I am using Maye as our wedding coordinator, to oversee and coordinate everything on the day of as well as provide some feedback on vendor etc. This helps me relax a bit more knowing that on the actual wedding day everything will go without a hitch. Alot of the girls on the forum have used Maye and have been happy with the results. With that said, I have found the majority of vendors just by reading posts on this forum, asking some of the vendors that I hired for suggestions on other vendors, google and so on. I wanted to be actively involved from the beginning in my own selection of the vendors because I guess I'm a bit of a control freak...lol So if you want to try to do this on your own without the added cost of a WC I would be more than happy to provide a list of my vendors. Actually, maybe I should do that anyways to help out some of the other girls
