I did get a quote of $300 from her. Does that sound right? Did you have to go see her or did Beaches let her come to you? Did you have a trial done? Sorry for all the questions. I am very nervous/concern about my hair. Thank you

AA, Your pictures are great!! You are correct when you say it is worth every penny. Your hair and makeup look beautiful. Did you have it done at Beaches?

Hey Mwise, I am hoping you are feeling well after what sounds like a fun weekend. How's the stomach? I did not do that great this weekend. I was crazy busy with my son's baseball game birthday parties, and on the run doing errands. I did not work out at all. I was too exhausted to get up this morning (Monday) to work out. Tomorrow another day.

Hi, I agree with LaurenMarie, use a TA. I was getting incorrect information from the Beaches reps. The TA's that are Sandals/Beaches certified are very helpful. They know everything about the promotions and the resorts.

Hi, I put a deposit of $350 for the room but we also booked our flight. It was a great price. I booked through a TA not Beaches. I was told that you need to book your room by Dec 2011 to get the free ceremony. I chose the Caicos premium king room. I decided to go with a cheaper room because of all the extras we are doing for the wedding ie video, hair and make up, of course my dress etc. I also booked an outside vendor for pictures. Pictures are very important to me. I hope this helps. I also have my fingers crossed hoping that I can get an upgrade.

Hey, Happy Birthday!! I could see why your stomach is not use to eating yogurt and especially the wine. The hormone diet looks hardcore. I give you credit for doing it. That is a lot of will power. It will all be worth it in the end. It sounds like it is working for you. Down 5lbs is great!! I hope you feel better. I weighed in last night I lost .4lbs. Not that happy but at least it is in the right direction.

How much does Beaches charge for hair and make up? I have a list but it does not say exactly how much. Is anyone using Sheque Prefection? She charges $300 + $25 travel fee for both hair and makeup.

Sorry wrong order.

I just added my name!!! I am super excited!! We put the deposit down this morning.

Thank you for the for the positive feedback. I don't know what the hormone diet is. Good Luck!! Let me know how you do. Yesterday I did Jillian Michael's Boost Metabolism and today did her Trouble Zone. I am having a hard time getting up from the chair but it is all good. I will also try to keep it up.

I have not had a chance to updat but I weighed in on Thursday, I lost 1.4lbs. I was super excited. 6lbs to go. Does not sound like a lot but for me it is. It is going to take a lot of hard work to do it. This weekend killed me. We celebrated Mother' Day twice. My mom and grandmother on Friday. For me and my future mother in law on Sunday. I worked out like crazy this morning and walked at lunch for an hour. I will have to do this everyday to work off what I ate this weekend. Thursday is weigh in day. Wish me luck!!

The pictures are beautiful. I agree, the pictures also made up my mind to use TI.

Hi, My TA contacted a Beaches sales manager. The Beaches representative I spoke to was incorrect. You need to book by 12/20/11 to get the free ceremony for 2012. I was just trying to do some homework to find out what the premium rooms were. My TA was out of the for a few days. From now on, I will only be dealing with her.

I can relate. I am 42. I excercise at least 4 times a week and starting go to WW 8 wks ago. I have only lost 3lbs. Social life? What's that? Today is Cinco de Mayo. Everyone is the office is going out for lunch not me. I have to get weighed in tonight. I weight myself this morning have not lost a thing. I actually gianed. How? I don't know. Followed the points, tracked and worked out. I am also getting very discouraged. I can't give up. I am hoping it will show it the way my clothes fits.

Has anyone booked a video? I thought this might be a good idea to show our family back home.

Good morning, I will be going with the BB package. I believe you get 1 5x7. I will not need someone to follow us all day. It is only my FI, our 7 year old son and myself. No other guests. I will save the money for TI. I did have a wedding planned here is CT for this Aug. I completely got stressed out with the whole planning process. The wedding was evolving into I did not want. I wanted something small on the beach. Everyday it was growing and growing. I was making everyone else happy buy me. My FI and I were fighting about everything. We decided to cancel the wedding. We have decided to do this instead with just us. We will have a party later. I am so much more excited to plan this.

Brandy, These pics are awesome. Did you also have Beaches take some? If so, do you need to book a photo package prior to the wedding? As you know I love the ones from TI!!

Lizzdee, sorry for the panic attack . My TA spoke with a sales manager at Beaches. The Beaches representive I was dealing with gave me incorrect info. To get the free ceremony you need to book a premium room or higher by 12/20/11. I was starting to freak out because I want to me able to put the deposit down by this weekend.

Brandy, I saw your pictures on line from Lleana from TI. They are great. You look beautiful. Who did you hair and makeup?

Hi Lizzdee, I don't mean to be a pain but do you by any chance have this is writing. I asked my TA to work some magic since going direct through Beaches would not extend the "promo".

I also posted this on the Beaches T&C roll call thread. This if for all the Brides getting married in 2012. I contacted Beaches to find out what is considered a premium room to get the free ceremony if you book 6 nights or more. They said this is for travel dates until Dec 31 2011. After this date it is the concierge level room. Is this true? This will determine how many nights we will be staying. I would think they would honor this promotion this far out. I am hoping to put a deposit this weekend. I am aiming for Jan 18 2012.

Hi! I have not booked the date yet. Hopefully next weekend we will put the deposit down. It will be in Jan 2012. What room are you staying in? I am thinking CV. I would love to see pics.

That is great to hear. I am looking at the Grande honeymoon in the CV. That would be great if they upgrade us since we have our 7 year old son with us. Thank you for the info. I am hoping to put the deposit down next weekend.

Hi to all the Beaches Brides. I posted for the first time yesterday. I am addicted to all the posts. They are all so helpful. We are planning on getting married at Beaches T&C in Jan 2012. It will be my son and FI. No other guests. Does anyone know what rooms are considered the premium rooms in the CV or FV to qualify for a free wedding? I sent an email from the Beaches site but they want me call. At this point I am not ready to speak to anyone. I am trying to put together a budget first. Thank you
