Meeting Outside Vendors

jeffandrobyn · June 30, 2014

My fiance and I are heading down to Mexico in a few weeks to scope out some venues and in reading all of the comments from you lovely ladies, we're now considering hiring an outside photographer and DJ. For those of you who are (or are planning) to do the same thing, are you meeting the vendors ahead of time? Or will all your communication be via email/phone? I just feel like we're already so strapped for time, seeing 3 resorts in 6 days. We really want some time to relax too.

Hello jeffandrobyn,

Lucky you as you are able to visit before your wedding. As a wedding planner in the Riviera Maya I would honestly say its not necessary to meet with them especially since you can always arrange a skype meeting with them before your wedding. I am certain you will book a photographer and DJ that best fit you.

Happy scope venue

Moments That Matter · July 1, 2014

Welcome to our forum community, jeffandrobyn, and Congrats on your upcoming Mexican destination wedding!!!

Joyce makes a good point - there are lots of really great professionals available in our area, and you can usually get a pretty good feel for what they're like via email or skype communications.

I also like your wisdom about catching some relaxation time for the two of you - smart! all work n no play....and all that

There are excellent reviews of outside vendors here to help as well: Vendor Reviews

...It's always helpful to hear other wedding couples' experiences + perspectives of vendors you may be considering. When choosing a photographer, it's key to find one whose style resonates with your and touches your heart - that's THE One for you

Wishing you happy research, and a wonderful site visit/vacation coming up in sunny Meeexico - Enjoy !!!
