Hi Everyone,

 

So, to throw a wrinkle in this for you Janet - I went there for a trial on Thursday and they didn't bother to explain to me that Bambi wasn't going to be doing my hair, they just showed me to Dani. Yours is the first explanation that I had.

 

Dani was nice. She's young, though. At my trial, we had to do it twice before we had something that would work. I wore it for the rest of the day and realized that there wasn't anyway that the style would hold so when I went in on Saturday, we had to reconfigure it for a third time.

 

I was asking for a simple updo so this shouldn't have been a problem (and hasn't been any of the other times I've had updos).

 

In the end, it was fine - it stuck out a bit in the back, but the pins didn't hurt and that was the most important thing given that I was going to be wearing them for so long. I didn't love how she did the pieces hanging down, but I was really more excited to get married than I was worried about my hair.

 

I had also had an updo done at the Hilton on a site visit. It was just as good but a lot cheaper. In retrospect, I would have been happy with the Hilton (they did a great job on my bridesmaid's hair) who also did my makeup and it looked good.

 

I wasn't impressed with Hive, but it was fine. I've seen other girls on this site who have had really beautiful hair (Meaghan - who did yours?) so I would say shop around.

You know, I had a spa party at the Hilton. It was fabulous. Their massage therapist are really great. We had about 15-20 people there and everyone said either, "That's the best massage I've had" or "That's the best massage I've had in a long time." I had two massages and found them great.

Just a thought - you might want to consider them. They gave me a 20% discount for having a group there.

Natasha,

Well everything you said basically confirmed all of my feelings (so at least I know I am not crazy or something). I'm skeptical of their excuse, and ultimately just don't think they are worth the cost.

But in the end, our hair looked fine and we both loved our weddings, and that is what matters :)

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
