I was told that if you bring your own photographer and DJ that there will be no vendor fee as long as they are staying at the resort. I am too planning to bring my own (photographer and DJ) and I asked about this myself. The only thing is with my DJ I will have to rent the equipment from one of the vendors that is listed.

So glad to have found a community of future brides that will be traveling abroad to say I do. I am still in the early stages of planning my wedding next year. I have selected Hyatt Ziva because of all of the great reviews and the beautiful colors. I felt like some of the other resorts were beige and traditional and that didn't have a great representation of my fiance and I. I am still researching and trying to figure out about vendors and getting the best for my budget. We are at the point in planning where we have sent out save the dates and now having our guest lock in their room. As of now we are looking at about 80+ guest who put a deposit to secure a room, its bittersweet so sweet that everyone is willing to travel with us and bitter because our cost goes up. I do know that we are saving so much by having a destination wedding and if we were to have it here in the states we wouldn't probably be able to have a wedding of our dreams. However, I am looking to save as much as possible going forward but try not to jeopardize our beautiful wedding I envision ( and that is still unclear )

With doing a lot of searches to try and find out so much about the Hyatt Ziva all in the world wide web. I am so glad to have stumbled across this thread because it has given some insight to some unanswered questions or thoughts. I am too getting married at the Hyatt Ziva on July 7th, 2017. I am really excited but nervous because I don't know what to expect being so far away and not having things at hands reach. I am also dealing with Magarita and I am waiting to schedule my big preview trip, as she explained to me that they are doing away with after Dec. 15th. So that means I had to attempt to move it up sooner then planned. However, I haven't spoken to her, I called and sent emails and still no response but I will continue to try and reach her. I am too looking into a better photographer deal then the one that the hotel is offering. I really want to travel with my own but it will probably be too expensive for my budget so I might need to look into other options.
