It seems like a big difference to me. I emailed him asking him so I will let you know what he says. I'm curious to see what he says, and although I do think he is charging US prices for a Mexico market....I think the price difference makes sense. If his rate is $330 for his makeup application, then essentially it's a discounted rate, and he's really offering a $150 discount because it's just a trial, and he's taking the chance that you will like it and book him for the real thing. Kinda like how cake tasting is free... I can't decide what to do...I do want the best for my wedding day but his prices is the same as the flight to Mexico cost me! Uggghh...what to do...

Why has this thread died? Mine is Nov 13, 2010

I heard there's a Catamaran that hangs out at the hotel, and you can summon it for sunset cruises as you like...sounds dreamy!

I loved Ed's photos, but I have such a small budget that I could def not afford. I found Jessie Cho in the East Bay and fell in love with her photos! She's totally versatile and does vintage style washed out pics just as well as bright colors, and very photojournalistic. And affordable! I'm taking her with me to Cancun! San Francisco bay area wedding photography

How does the getting there part work? Ferries from Cancun?

This place looks gorgeous! How did you decide? What other places did you look at for honeymoons? I can't decide, Excellence vs. Cozumel vs. Zoetry, and now Ceiba!

Right now I am not seeing anything from Dallas Fort Worth area for Cancun to be under 450 dollars and this is awful times. If I am not supposed to used these sites but my TA tells me to book my flights on line where do I need to go to do this? Do I just need to go straight with American Airlines or Sun country. Thank you so much if you get back to me. I am really stressed out. I wish I had found this site much sooner. Megan, try AA website, they have flights nonstop DFW to Cancun for $394 including taxes ($300 =$94 taxes). I say booking with the airline directly is reliable. Hope this helps.

Welcome!!! And congrats on your wedding!

Hi! Welcome! YOu'll soon become addicted to the forum!

Welcome! I'm in the same boat! I just went to my first ever wedding 6 months ago...what's up with my friends never getting married I'm almost 30 for goodness sake! lol

November 13 at Dreams Cancun Here! I sooo want a TTD...but I have 2 main concerns: 1. What in the world will I do with my TTD pictures besides posting them on my siggy on this forum and placing them in an album that will be soon left to collect dust 2. How the heck will I manage to wake up after a late night of partying and try to look somewhat presentable for these pictures My photog is coming with me to Cancun from my hometown, and she offered me an engagement session OR a TTD...I can't decide which to pick!

These are sooo cute! Now I just gotta work on 150 posts so I can download

And the dress was ready and delivered 7 months later I still love it, but I am scared to look at bridal magazines for fear of loving a different one. Are you guys all going with the dreams hair/makeup? I was going to until I read about Fernando on another thread...what to do?!?!?!
