Dominican Republic Brides~ POST HERE!

Liz, I'm in the same boat as you.. I read the reviews of how they cake it on, so I'm thinking of just going to MAC for trials and purchasing products from them and then having one of my bridesmaids do it.. I've read about makeup artists going to the resort but I don't think I want to pay extra to have them actually come onto the resort and not meeting with them before hand/doing a trial.. so I think I'm going to do the safest way possible lol.

Hey guys!  I just posted about my wedding experience in the Jellyfish thread  Loved EVERY minute of my time in the Dominican!

Jlaruda (hi again)  & Liz,

I am also getting married at the Jellyfish and staying at the Majestic Elegance in February of next year.

If you happen across any make up artists let me know. My bridesmaids are my sisters and we're all sporty Vermonter's who didn't realize that makeup existed until college. I might need to ask one of my guests to help out instead of chancing it with the salon as well.

Do you either of you know how far it is from the Majestic to the Jellyfish?  We have some kiddos and elderly guests and I am not sure if they will make it the whole night at the Jellyfish, so I need to see if I can get an early pick up for those guest.

 

Hope all is going well with your planning.
Sheri

Sherio,

The Jellyfish is approx. 30 min. from the Majestic.  I'm sure that Mayte could arrange for earlier transportation for a few of the guests if they would like to leave earlier.  You could probably even just play the night by ear and let Mayte know when you'd like some earlier transportation.   Mayte is very accomodating.

Here are two area maps: one is of the entire area but doesn't show where the Jellyfish is, the second shows you where the Jellyfish is but the Majestic isn't on that map. Hope these are helpful!

Thank you Liz and Vav!

This is really helpful.  So many little logistics that you don't think about until you suddenly realize that your 2 year old nephew probably doesn't want to hang out till midnight with a bunch of intoxicated, dancing fiends.

Keep in mind that the upstairs has a lovely seating area with a few very relaxing lounge chairs and a lounge style bed.  So the two year old might be just as happy falling asleep upstairs (if he's the type that doesn't mind loud music - and can fall asleep anywhere).
