Does anyone have prices for hair and makeup with the salon (Tulum)?

I paid $85 to have my hair done at the salon but I did my own make up so someone else may be able to help with that or provide the new spa menu with pricing...

 

Also - whats the lo-down on DJ? I see there aren't any DJ services included in the wedding packages

Does the resort have their own that you hire for extra $?

Or do most bring one in from the outside?

So the poolside reception consists of two costs: the bar service and the DJ. The resort DJ was awesome! He provided lights and played our requests all night. If he didn't have a song we wanted he could play it directly from our ipod. The cost was $210/hour. Other brides have hired great outside DJ's in the past but I honestly didn't want the hassle of finding one, confirming it with the resort, possibly paying a day pass, etc.

 

Thanks!

 

Hope that helps!

My Wedding Coordinator has not returned any of my emails in the last week or so. I was wondering if anyone had prices for the Poolside reception at the Coba. Thank you

[Sunshine2680]

Has anyone used Styling Trio Riviera Maya for their hair and makeup?

Yay finally booked, March 1 2012 at tulum.  I really want to do the ceremony at the gazebo, it is so gorgeous! 

I have a few questions though.  Has anyone paid extra for arrecife to come the dinner and reception?  Also I am thinking about choosing gran tortuga (Brazilian).  For those of you who have gone to gran tortuga how was it?  The menu says something about cards so you say green for more meat and red for no??  Also the menu didn't mention anything about side dishes, is it just meat and a salad buffet? 

 

I am so glad that Jazmin has been replying to my emails so quickly.  My invitations won't be here for another two weeks so I am getting really nervous, luckily emailing Jazmin gives me other wedding things to think about. 

 

Thanks for any help! 

[Sunshine2680]

Congrats!
Gazebo will be awesome!!

My wedding is Nov 2012 - but i won't be using Arrecife - I'm bringing my own from home. Just getting much more value for my money that way. But personally if I was using them - i woudl definitely pay for the dinner/reception. You will probably want some nice pics of your first dance and cake cutting!

I've eated at Gran tortuga on previous holiday and i thought it was great. Food was really good and there's plenty to choose from. I believe they had some side dishes up at the salad bar too (rice etc) - so don't worry your guests should be plenty full.
The green/red card is just to tell the server if you're wanting them to come around with more meat on the swords or if your done.

i agree 100% about Jazmin! My wedding is 400+ days away and she's still taking the time to reply to my questions. I honestly didn't expect much from her till next year. Soooo nice to have a WC who is on top of things!

Andrea2006 - If you haven't already looked, there is a link to my pictures on my signature.  We were married at the Tulum Gazebo and had dinner at the Gran Tortuga.  I didn't have Arrecife take pictures at my dinner or dance, but I'm sure they would have done a good job.  You can see that the quality of my pictures at the dinner and dance were not too good, I had my friend from home as my photographer for those parts and they kinda turned out dark.

 

I was too nervous on my wedding day to eat, but there was definitely plenty of food at Gran Tortuga.  And we had our own section to the side, so it seemed private.  There were other people on the other side of the restaurant, but I didn't even notice them.  We even had speeches at the restaurant and everything.

Did anyone have Eugenia as their wedding coordinator?? I have sent two emails and waited at least a week between each and still have not received a reply for her... I included Paloma on the 2nd one and she got back to me right away saying that Eugenia was very busy with multiple weddings, but also asking her to reply as soon as possible. I know that they have a lot going on and am not expecting super fast replies, but it is making me a little nervous.

 

But anyway, I was asking if they could send me all the restaurant options we have for the dinner and the pool side reception options/costs. Maybe one of you could help me with that and email this information to me if you have it. (We are staying at the Akumal and getting married at the Hammock location on March 31, 2012). My email is [email protected] and any information you could share would be fantastic!

 

Thanks!
