We are planning on the week of April 16th-23rd, 2011, right before easter. April is a beautiful time of year in Aruba, and the low season starts April 15th, so prices are cheaper. I'm so excited!!!!

I am getting married in July in aruba and was looking to see if anyone had recommendations for hair and makeup? A friend of mine was going to come and do everyones hair but she had to cancel so now I'm trying to do a little research. Thank you for all your help.

Hey fellow Aruban Bride-

I'm getting married two days after you!! Where will your wedding take place? I got a recommendation for the Knipoog Salon on the island. I heard that Rubia(hair) and Elene (makeup)are wonderful to work with. I booked my services with Maggy's Salon at the Renaissance Resort but I'm not sure if I'm going to still use them.

 

Check out the Aruba wedding forum on The Official Tourism Website of Aruba - Information for Travel, Hotels, and Reservations. You may be able to find some helpful info there. Good Luck!!

We got married in Aruba on 11/6/2009. It was fantastic!! We had our ceremony on Eagle Beach. Edwina Werleman with E2 Events & Celebrations Aruba was our wedding coordinator. She is the best!
We had our dinner at the Aruba Marriott and Stellaris Casino. Everyone did
a fantastic job and we have no complaints. The girl who did my hair and makeup did a fantastic job. Her name is Jennive. Edwina hired her for me. Contact me with a pm and I can give you all of her contact information. I'm not sure if I can put that information on this site. I can even email you a picture of my hair.

Hi Mmack...

I also got married at the Renaissance in July 2008. We had an excellent wedding, it was everything we ever dreamed about and our family and friends are still raving over it almost 2 years later. If you would like any additional information or to see my pictures, send me an email and I would be happy to share with you since I know how difficult this whole process can be.
