  1. @@Kyliewylie Hi, We actually hired the in-house DJ, since we didn't want to be bothered with setting up equipment or not having someone to MC for certain parts. We sent him whatever particular songs we wanted (or any that we absolutely didn't want) in advance. He was great, actually, and also took requests from some of our guests! Since we rented the sound system for the ceremony, we ended up getting a deal on the sound system for the day + the DJ for the cocktail hour/reception. We originally had our reception set up for the La Vista Terrace but there were storm clouds moving in that day and it was unbearably hot and humid, so we moved it inside the buffet restaurant. This was great, as the entire walls were glass (similar to @cassiamiller), but guests could walk out onto the covered terrace for fresh air. Good luck and congratulations!!!
  2. Hi fellow Now Amber brides! We just found out that Fatima is no longer with the company- our wedding is in a week! So we are now having to go through all of the planning details again with Edith, who was our coordinator when we originally booked almost 2 years ago. I just wanted everyone to be aware of this change in case you haven't been told yet. I'm sure everything will be fine, but I will say it didn't do much good for my already crazy nerves just one week out from our wedding! ha!
  3. Well, it's $75/person for hair, and $65/person for makeup, and $150 for my mani-pedi. I have 3 BMs for hair and two for makeup, and then hair and makeup for my mom and FMIL. And this is just for people that wanted their stuff professionally done. I have two BMs that wanted to do their own stuff, so it could have been a lot more. Just wanted to give a head's up for any brides interested in these services. On a frugal note, we are saving several hundreds by bringing our own chair sashes and table runners!
  4. My wedding is just over a month away and as we are finalizing details we too are realizing that to make things look nice, prices for extras are EXPENSIVE. Fatima said there is a charge for having them set up decor that you bring yourself- has anyone done this. If so, how did it work and what was the cost? Also, I offered to cover hair and/or makeup for my bridesmaids that wanted it, and those things plus my nails are costing almost $800!!!! Be warned!!! The salon is expensive and neither your 20% spa discount nor any credits from your travel agency can be used toward it!!! Gaaahh!!!
  5. Hi everyone! Im getting married at Now Amber on October 25. Those of you getting married in October and/or Nov, have you noticed the room costs are skyrocketing for those two months? Also, on the wedding portion of the website, it now has both months completely blocked. Last week it was not this way. Do any of you know if there is an event or anything or are there just literally weddings every day? Im concerned mostly for my guests being able to book there. Many of them are getting insane prices suddenly. Anyone have any info? It would definitely calm my nerves!
