I have had extensions a ton of times and love them for growing out my hair but also to add body. I would just really check out the stylists who put them in and what they use, make sure its real human hair. Also, just a side note, a lot of ladies on here seem to be using style with their hair down, remember that it is generally breezy on the beach and you don't want hair in your face in all your pictures so consider a half up option.

So my meeting with her personally was much better than going between in email. I have had a few email conversations since and have found that her english written is not very good and she seems to have a hard time understanding what I want when it is written out. When I met with her she seemed right on point showing me pictures of past weddings where they had done something very similar. It was neat when we were there I met 4 brides being wed that week and everyone was so nice to explain the experience and a couple even let us come to the wedding which was really fun and great to get to know so many new people. We chose to get married on the jetty, which was not my first choice, it is a long walk but so beautiful. It is windy out there so hair spray is a must, like maybe a whole bottle. All the flowers everyone used while we were there were very simple. I am not using fresh flowers except on tables so simple is good for me, but I have seen some vendor reviews on some amazing florists in Playa del Carmen if your looking for something more. I am not going with the onsite photographer and it will be $100 for the day to bring another photographer onsite. The other thing that was cleared up for me is that it is not extra to have a dinner set up at one of the resorts restaurants but you do have to have a set menu. If you choose to have your reception on the beach or on the lawn area it is extra per plate. That is all I have for now we are still working on other items for our reception, so I will keep posting.

Marina el cid.....too expensive??
ORBeachbride replied to gilkes's topic in Riviera Maya and Cancun Wedding Vendors
Ok, so I am currently at the El Cid and we watched a wedding yesterday and I have been speaking with a bride that has a wedding tomorrow. I have a meeting with the wedding planner tomorrow as well. The romance package is the basic package but it is free is you have 5 platinum rooms booked and provides the basics that you would need for a ceremony. The bride I spoke with says it is not worth it to have your reception on the beach since 1. its windy and 2. it is much cheaper if you book your reception meal in one of the resturants here ( we are going with the Marina resturant since it is seperate from the resort and has 180 degree view. You do have to have a set menu when booking in the resturant but it doesn't cost any extra. You can have the photographers from here or bring in another photography company for $100 fee. The provide round table and a square top chairs. Otherwise you have to rent furnature if you want something else. They will provide linens that are white. Again otherwise you have to rent. I talked with the wedding planner about booking a group of rooms and she suggested that it is less expensive to have your party get rooms through Expedia or Costco, Costco has a great deal right now and they run it quite often. The flowers they have used here for the weddings are gerber daisys and Calla Lillys. That is all the info I have for now. Will get back when I have more. -

Hi gilkes! I am going down 1/9/12 to firm up all our wedding plans for a 5/9/13 wedding. I can get you prices and post back after that. I am super excited about the El Cid. I have stayed there twice and we absolutely love every detail. We have seen maybe 7 weddings take place and they do a fab job. -
