Do you have to pay a vendor's fee for a hair stylist or make-up artists to come to your room? I need to start deciding on my hair and makeup. I'm so worried that no one will know how to manage my hair. It is very thick and not relaxed. Yes there s a vendor fee for make up and hair if they are from outside the resort. Hoowwweevverrrr in true Royal fashion some brides were told if they come for only three hours they don't have to and others were able to get them in with out the fee. So I would expect the fee but you also have the chance of getting lucky.

Jess Fernando still hasn't sent me anything on how to pay him. I would like to put a deposit down or do as much before we go as possible so I don't have to take cash for everything. Did you already pay him? AHAHAH no seriously I will look scary lol OMG you haven't ya you def need to give him a deposit. I know it seems weird but you send it to his sisters address. I gave him 50% because the thing is hair prices vary for each girl depending so you really can't pay that part in full until the day. I am emailing you the info right now for the deposit

Congrats and welcome to the forum yay another November Bride! In the past we have used Best Day Travels for transportation and they have always been great. Mexico Vacations,Travel to Mexico,Mexico Tourism,Mexico Travel,Go to Mexico I am using Fernando for hair and make up and he has been awesome to work with the-makeup-pros Good luck and happy planning

Our travel agent set up all the transportation for us. The other times that we have gone to Mexico we have always used Best Day Travel Mexico Vacations,Travel to Mexico,Mexico Tourism,Mexico Travel,Go to Mexico. We have always had a great experience with them.

Wow that is so funny we are all so near. I lived in Fairfiled and just moved in 2006 after I finished college. When are you guys leaving for your wedding, we leave Sunday 11/7 how funny would it be if we were all on the same flights lol we are leaving from jfk

Should I be worried? lol I went outside of the resort based on mixed reviews. I have heard good and bad and I just did not want to risk it. I will have an afro in that weather if its not tamed correctly lol based on Fernandos reviews I thought for me personally it was the best choice.

2Mckee yikes that is tough not knowing the locals quite yet but like Lisa said you may be better off checking out a bigger location like david's bridal. They may be more accustomed to these kinds of situations. I would also try calling other popular bridal stores in your area maybe the have a recommendation. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you

I am looking everywhere for someone that can perform a miracle in the next week..... Got it at a sample sale at Kleinfelds in NY and it doesnt even look like the same dress I bought....Boo. OMG! can the seamstress not tell that she butchered it? she should have to fix it or give you the money to get another dress. I cannot imagine but not to worry I know it seems crazy right now but it will work out.

great pictures! what a beautiful location one of my friends is thinking about having her wedding at Havana Blue everything looked gorgeous.

Fernando has a great reputation and I dont think he would jeapordize that I heard too many mixed reviews about the resort salon and Im not taking any chances with them. Im happy with using the Fernando team, even if its not Fernando hahaah ya I know I felt the same about resort salon. Plus I think it will be nice to just be in my own room relaxing and enjoying the moment.

Oh no feel better Just relax and have an amazing time!

wow they look incredible! I saw at the Banana Republic in Newport RI the canvas prints and FI and I wanted to do the same thing. You are so lucky you work at a photography studio to be able to get all those amazing prints

I just think its funny that we're both on here OMG no way I'm sorry it is funny that we are both on here. Did you end up going with his teacher in the end? I am sure his teacher does an amazing job if hes the one that taught Fernando

Just like you guys I'm struggling with the hair decision... all of the vendors are booked except for the florist and cake. Do you guys have suggestions? Hi I am using Marvin from Maya Diseno Floral .::: Maya Diseño Floral Profesional :::. Flores y Plantas Exóticas The prices are awesome and he has been really wonderful to work with so far. I considered Vanessa James as well but she has $2,000 minimum I believe. For cake I am using Dolcet Cakes Dolcet - Zaida has been excellent. I just sent her a picture of what I want and we picked our flavors. I thought her prices were very reasonable as well.

Lady_Di I meant to ask for the cocktail hour did you end up having open bar or did they only give you champagne?

Thanks Di for such an awesome review. Everything looked so beautiful especially you!
