My wedding was July 30, 2011 at the El Dorado Royale in Riviera Maya, Mexico.  Let me start by saying I am from Miami and, even though this is going to sound terrible, I am a bit vain. I was terrified about choosing someone to do my hair and makeup without ever having a trial. I found MVP and requested some pricing. Since I am a destination wedding planner that works quite often with wedding coordinators in Mexico, I wasn't expecting a response for a couple of days. Boy was I wrong! Edgar emailed me back with pricing almost immediately. He was amazing with responding to all of my questions so quickly. He made me feel very comfortable and I decided I would book with them.

 

As amazing as Edgar is, the true test is whether or not I was going to be happy with Melissa's work. I was blown away. I have had my hair and makeup done tons and tons of times so I told myself to not judge too harshly. I was so wrong. Melissa is such an artist. We did one look for my ceremony and one for my reception. She changed both my hair and makeup in less than 15 minutes. I felt so beautiful. I just received my photos and I can't believe what a great job she did.

 

I didn't want natural makeup. I wanted to look glamorous. My sister, on the other hand, is my complete opposite and Melissa nailed her hair and makeup too. She is able to create any type of look. She, also, did my mom's hair and makeup. I have never seen my mom look as gorgeous as she did at my wedding. People were literally gasping when they saw her. 

 

But there is one thing that I would change if I could. I would make Melissa and Edgar move to Miami so I could use her whenever I need my hair and makeup done!
