Does anyone have the email to the spa?

My TA contacted Ana and had this answered for me. The round tables are 5.25 ft in diameter and 3.96 in height. the buffet tables are 5 ft. I am not sure about the sweetheart table. I ordered my overlays and they are 72x72 for the round.

I am getting married August 8! It's coming up qiuickly! I will be getting my hair and makeup done at the spa. I am so picky about those things and was wondering if anyone knows how the stylists are at the spa.

We booked the Master Suit and I have hired Fernando Fuentes and his hair stylist to come do our hair and make-up in the suit. I just didn’t want to be down at the salon, I would rather us be in the room drinking and getting ready together. As for the grooms room the night before…..it’s so hard to tell. I was there in October and there was lots of open rooms but it had just opened. My fiancé is going to his brother’s room the night before if need be and his brothers fiancé is going to spend the night with me. It will be fun no matter what……don’t stress over this. This is so small compared to the day How did you find out about that guy that you hired to do your hair and makeup?

Do we go to the spa to get our hair and make up done or do the stylists come to the room?

I want some alone time to get ready.. and enough space... and not to have to share bathroom/mirror/counter space with a bunch of other women.. its my wedding day!! =( It says per availability.. but you know how that goes.. i'm trying to prepare for the "sorry mam, we dont have another room available" and then i freak out lol. We actually just booked a regular room and may upgrade when we get there, not sure yet. We just didn't want to spend the extra $ for a plunge pool or anything because we will have 40 guests at the resort, many the same length of time as us so we won't have much alone time. We're planning to take another separate trip by ourselves next summer for our honeymoon. I have been very concerned about the same thing. I had my TA ask Ana this many times and she says they will not know of a room is available until we are there. Ridiculous! I asked another bride and she said she wasn't given the room until the same day they gave it to her! So worried bout this.

I am bringing down out of town bags for my guests...does anyone know if there is anything in particular we have to do to get all the stuff down there? I think I remember someone saying that we need rexceipts. I know going through customs can be a pain and I really do not want anything taken away. That would be very upsetting!!!!

Hey girls!!! I need an upbeat song for the end of my ceremony...for the new husband and I to exit. What are you all using?

What is everyone using for their ceremony music?? I tried downloading some songs earlier but I am a little stuck.

I cant decide between a plunge pool or a jacuzzi...when i look at the jacuzzi it looks like there is no wall between rooms so doesnt seem to private...same with plunge pool but alteast plunge pool isnt an intimate as a jacuzzi whats everyone else doing I booked a plunge pool room...but I hear there is no privacy at all. Oh well..lol. It seemed pointless to soend all that extra money for a honemoon suite. We still have a beatiful room with an ocean view.

I just realized my wedding is in 32 days and I am leaving in 28!!! Wow!!! Time flew by!!! Now I need to think of the last minute things!

Quote: Originally Posted by BethAnne I would love to see the script also! Mine is a symbolic ceremony and im sort of nervous not knowing what will be said and by who at the cermony =) I want to be able to personalize it a little bit. My e-mail is [email protected] Thanks! Ana just sent me the script today. I wasn't sure if I was going to put my own together or use theirs. I will email it to you.

Quote: Originally Posted by ursula I'm really intrested in getting these also. Can I ask how much she charges? Thanks! I got an email from her that I can send you..but I believe two color maracas start at $4 then add $.25 for names, $.25 for date, and $.25 for location. So about 4.75 each, unless you want more detail to it. Then she has adorable tags that say "shake at the kiss" ( I am sure those are extra). They will ship right to the resort also. I really love them.

Quote: Originally Posted by Missy1 Thanks, thats exactly what I had to do. Once I had my travel agent call I got an email from Ana within minutes! I'm booked for April 22, 2011 6:00 p.m. Congrats!! Using a travel agent is definitely the way to go!!

Anyone getting the maracas from Mischka? If so, how did you send her your invitation? Did you scan then send? She wants me to email her my invitation so she can get an idea for a design on maracas. I keep spending $$$$$ so I am not sure if I really need these. But I really want them! LOL

My wedding is on August 8..when should I start hearing from Ana for the final count? I am using a TA but feel like there hasn't been any contact with anyone in a while. Just getting worried because it is coming up soooo quickly!!!

We have to pay for outdoor lanterns don't we?? From The pics I have seen, it seems very dark on the pool deck and there are just a few spotlights.
