Thanks Babystace & likewise! I got vetoed on the scouting trip by the FI aka "the numbers guy ".....its either scouting trip or a planner. He thinks having / doing both is redundant.

My fiancé doesn't think it's necessary either lol I'm insisting upon it though. I just wasn't wowed by any of the resort websites or informational brochures. Hopefully in person will have a different effect.

Well after the chat with and subsequent hiring of our new travel advisor, I am thinking I too will get my way and get to do a scoutting trip. She seems really great and although she doesn't do planning she does stay in the loop once I pick a resort incase anything goes left. I am excited to see her recommendations. She is going to suggest locations that have proven highly responsive WCs so I think I won't really need a planner. I already have a few in mind but am curious to see if any of those land on her list. Do you know which resorts you think you like? What are doing/thinking regarding hair? One of the reasons I want to do a scouting trip is to see/learn more re the hair skills etc... & figure out if I need to budget for bringing my Stylist down.

My TA gave me a list based on some of the same qualifications as well as what we told her is important to us, desired guest budget, etc. The list included the Hard Rock, Dreams, Beach Palace. and Paradisus. With regards to hair I want a simple side pony with curls style like the one below. I'll check out the resort stylists on my scouting trip but I don't think it will be too hard since I'll have my hair permed with extensions already placed before I arrive. http://www.aperfectsettingevents.com/wedding-day-do-side-ponytail-hairstyle-for-the-sassy-and-chic-bride/

Oh cool - let me know your thoughts on Beach Palace & Paradisus. I have stayed at a Paradisus in the DR and liked it. Hair - I LOVE IT! I want some sort of updo or maybe a low chignon. The FI doesn't like extensions (don't go there) but I plan to sneak a few in over the coming weeks and will test him to see if he even notices hahaha.

Lol sounds good @girlinthecity97. I'll keep you gals posted!
