    @@babijol everything was lovely as far as vendors I'd highly recommend Denise Mason for photography I had wpaj booked but they were a no show and Denise saved my wedding! That was the only vendor I used besides florals I went with I'm flora and loved my centerpieces and bouquet!

    @@babijol they are obnoxious lol be on top of you WC to get you a quote asap so you can budget and plan accordingly

    @@babijol they were very nice to us at our meeting in January but seriously the only excuse I got for not receiving a quote was they they were busy. Inappropriate. I told my wedding planner that I couldn't be expected to come up with soem unknown amount of money (I know from other brides that they are expensive.) With short notice. To give some in site their quote was about 5000 and JM 1500 for 5 tables and a sweet heart table

    @@babijol Yup tai flora did not give us a quote until about a month ago. It was very frustrating and they came up with a ridiculous number. Since they were taking forever for a quote I demanded the hotel provide me with more qualified vendors to use. I got a quote from JM floral which was very reasonable and we will be using them.

    @@Harrisc15 I'm going to have a head band type thing as well I just forgot it in my room lol. I had them.take it right out so my fiance wouldn't see what I was going to have but the curled stayed in all day and the following day too with very minimal hair spray. I'm expecting more humidity in may but overall I was very impressed.

    @@Harrisc15 The beach was breezy in Jan it was very comfortable and I'm sure it will end fine any month. I chose the terrace and just had a back up in case there's a corporate event. I'm doing an afternoon wedding so I really needed an area that was covered from the sun so my guest don't have a heat stroke I'm doing an up do for mine I showed her a Pinterest picture I just wanted it twisted and up more natural looking and not a ton of hair spray. ..My make up pictures make me look crazy lol I wasn't making the proper face so I don't want to share those lol but for me it was natural and nothing over the top I liked it alot

    @@Harrisc15 so true. I did my bdp in January and I can tell you all the venue's are as stated on the website and they are beautiful!. During my visit we toured all the sites just so we knew we were picking the right locations for us. We were able to do a full menu tasting and picked everything we'd want. We also did a desert and cake tasting. I did my hair and makeup trial as well. If your not picking then I'd say go with the resort. They did everything I asked for and I will be using them for my day. Large gazebo for ceremony Decks for cocktails Ballroom terrace for reception (we won't know till April 13th if we secured this location but I'm pretty sure we will)

    @@babijol thank you so much! Much appreciated

    I ask her several days a week she says tai flora has been busy. But I know other brides who's dates are way further then mine who have quotes already. I'm thinking about talking to floral fantasys but I figured since I actually sat down with tai id give them a shot. It's really annoying that I can't get a quote I literally have no clue how much flowers will cost me

    I'm glad your getting quotes it's been a month and I still have yet to have a quote on my center prices.... Tiffany is 250 about what you were quoted?
  12. Kcusack89
    Ugh I guess it may it depends on what your comfortable with. I know my photographer covers 400 of the 500 vendor fee maybe try shopping around for vendors that's offer assistance with the fee

    Hair and makeup is 88 each at the salon Chivari chairs are $6 a chair upgrade Ballroom terrace is more for corporate events they allow weddings to book it if it hasn't been requested 45 days prior. It is amazing though and I really hope we get it or I can email it I have pictures of it if I can figure out how to post pictures here. I met marcinne when I was there she is lovely

    I forgot to mention the food! We did a sit down menu tasting during our preview and it was so good our entrees will be the snapper and jerk chicken. We are doing buffet which I was dead set against but it works out better to do buffet you get more options otherwise everyone would be getting fish and chicken on the same plate or just one choice....I'll live with the buffet We upgraded to chivari silver chairs And my planner is Denisha love her always responsive always understanding I think she thinks I'm nuts but she puts up with it lol

    Hello all As Tiffany mentioned earlier there is a Facebook group that has been very helpful just search Hyatt ziva/zilara brides...It's both Cancun and Jamaica My wedding will be may 132017 at 11am, afternoon wedding. Ceremony at the large wedding gazebo cocktails on the decks and reception hopefully on the ballroom terrace if it's available otherwise we will have to debate on where we want that part I'm using resort florist I only have 34 guests so five tables is doable. I have no yet received my quote on flowers so I'm expecting it to be quite large :/ As for extras like napkins and stuff bringing all that stuff with me to save money. I am doing uplights g and they are relative inexpensive I think 150 for four lights but I have to double check As for hair and make up I did a trial on my big day preview and really thought they did a good job. I like natural make up so nothing heavy and I got an up do. I will use them for the service Using the resort DJ

    @@Bride2Be2017 I must have missed your room block question...yes we blocked 30 rooms of varying type all at zilara. By TA got us a good selection I wanted more of the lower priced rooms bc I think that's what people will gravitate too but of course ive already had four people book and only one took a cheap room but like Tiffany said if there's a room someone wants the resort will try to accommodate.

    I was planning on doing a play list for my guests...its driving me nuts but i wasn't sure that a DJ from another country would get our music choice right....I just sent out my invites yesterday! My guests have to book by jan 4th and pay by feb 23rd so i figure two months to decide if they want to book is more then fair....even though its right over the holiday season which makes me so nervous. I feel like a lot of people are going to forget to book wait till the last minute and be like oh crap i spent to much at christmas i cant pay for an island vaca by feb! Guess i'll see how this goes My new site visit will be january 23rd....every cross your fingers for no blizzards in the northeast tos top my travel again!

    @@Bride2Be2017 yes the rate is the same...we actually got w better flight price and times then we did for earlier this week. We will be able to spend a lot more time there then before. The pictures are amazing I'm.so glad that you found pictures of cocktails on the decks! Hopefully it's not to hot for.my guests. We are doing an 11am wedding instead of waiting all day. I'm not the biggest fan of night photography so it works out. The first bride used the same.color scheme as me teal and the guys in grey

    Hey guys I had to cancel but was able to reschedule in January so fingers crossed for good travel weather then! I'm doing the zilara swim up suite and can't wait!

    @@tiffanyt I can try but I doubt it. They will let us fly out until the 7th with no fees but with work schedules we cant make that work. Not sure what exactly we will do st this point. Have you guys booked your DJ,mc, and cocktail hour entertainment yet

    Hey ladies yup my big day preview looks like a wash out. At this point our flight is in with a 90% chance of rain and wing all three days were there. I'm not thrilled. I think it's selfish of me to have them catering to my wedding needs while the storm happens. The hotel is in a state of emergency but is honoring my stay if I decide to cancel and go another time. I'm worried about booking vendors at this point and I'm scared if I go I'm not getting a very good preview of the hotel. Leaning toward canceling and rescheduling. Just waiting for my flight to either cancel or delay so I can refund other wish I'm stuck paying a 400 dollar cancelation fee for me and my fiance. On a happier note I can't wait to see pictures!
