Newbie in trouble

[Antigua14]

Hi.  I have joined after stalking this site multiple times.  I must say there are some really creative people out there.  I have saved many to my favs.  I have a dilema and need help.

 

Ok here's the issue. I am getting married in Antigua in July 2012. I am very picky about my hair and not sure how to find a fantastic haridresser as well as make up artist and photographer.  The photog I tried contacting Vanessa Hall will be out of the country during that time.  Then  I found a makeup artist but she moved to Atlanta, GA so now she's out.  Please, please help me!  Has anyone or is anyone getting married there.  If it makes a difference I will be getting married at the St. James Club.  I am feeling very overwhelmed with how much I need to do.

Welcome!  Did you ask the unavailable people if by chance they could recommend someone to you.  Usually they network and know other photographers/hairstylists/makeup artists that are reputable they they would recommend to you.

Yes,not  believe it or not I did and only the photographer could recommend other photographers.  I did look into some of them and I was really enthused with what I seen with the exception of one photographer.  I later found out after this post that the hotel is contracted with one photographer.  He is the one I was really not impressed with.  And as for the makeup artist she was not aware of anyone else to recommend. I did resolve this issue. I am booking my hairdresser who has been doing my hair for at least 10 years and she has a photography business as well so it's a 2 for one deal.Yeah. MY FI wasn't  thrilled by the deal but she's really working with me and I know she'll do an amazing job.
