Moon Dance Cliffs 2014

[kaitstr]

Hi everyone!

 

I am booked for a July 1st 2014 wedding at MDC, and I couldnt be more excited! My fiance and I visited Jamaica in June and fell in love with Moon Dance. For those of you who were unable to do a site visit- do not worry. The resort is STUNNING and the food was much better than the other resort we visited. 

 

I tried to book Sungold Photography but they are already booked for my date (crazy!) so we are looking into some other options. My fiance is a high school photography teacher so he is very picky about this aspect of wedding planning. 

 

As for transport- I hadn't thought of using an outside company but we are paying for our guests airport transfers. Using a tour company might actually be cheaper if you have a large number of guests arriving on the same flight- not a bad idea.

PS I like how we are all labeled 'NOOB's on here. I guess we need to step it up with our posts

Merrick Cousley is amazing!

Don't be nervous! There are no words to describe how beautiful the resort is. I am sure you will love it!

Thanks for the advice Cherina, I contacted Merrick and he has been amazingly nice and accommodating. Pretty sure we're going to go with him.

What is everyone planning to do for hair and make up on your wedding day?  I know MDC has a spa (Kamala) but I am nervous about using them since I can't find any reviews or photos anywhere of their work.  I know I saw earlier in this thread (I THINK it was this thread) that some girls opted to hire a professional make up artist based out of Negril.  I did some research and she also does hair.  She has a facebook page where you can see all of her work (which looks amazing).  I am more comfortable with this since I can actually see her work and I like it.  However, I feel bad not using MDC's own spa and employees.

 

I have thick curly hair that is just going to have to be put into an updo since it will be too frizzy in the humidity.  I have never liked an updo I've ever gotten (for proms, other weddings I was in) and I am getting especially nervous about  using a spa I know nothing about to do an updo for my wedding day.  Does anyone have any thoughts on this or what you are planning on doing?

I am not sure what to do for my hair and makeup. I am thinking about going to Jamaica on Saturday before the wedding to hopefully get a trial, but I have to do research.

I am in need of help, I have not booked a photographer yet, everyone I have looked at seems really expensive. Can you guys recommend a good photographer?
