We are staying in the Colonial! We originally were planning on going the week before however we couldn't get the 4:00 ceremony that we wanted so we pushed it back a week! 2 o'clock will be fine I'm sure! At least down by the ocean, you will have the nice breeze to cool you all down! Where are you having your reception?!

Hahaha too funny! I chose the deluxe package but added an extra hour for each photographer. What one did you choose?!

Hey Liz! I really liked the pictures they posted on their Facebook page/website as well! I'm really happy we were able to book them. We looked at bringing a photographer and also other photographers in the area and this was by far the best deal! We have the same wedding date?! Your profile says February 6th, has that changed? I'm getting married on December 4th at 4:00pm. We chose the beach pergola as we have always wanted our wedding to be directly on the beach! What time/where is your ceremony at?!

Hi Ladies! Bre, I booked with Adrian because I had heard really good reviews and because like I said I'm pretty picky! If you aren't too concerned, I'm sure his other make up artists would do a great job as well! His pricing is very reasonable and I like that the girls and I will be getting ready in the comfort of our own room. If you have any concerns with his pricing, just let him know... perhaps you guys can work something out? He seems to be very accommodating! Is everyone bringing a photographer from home? I had no idea how expensive it was going to be to book one that is located in the Mayan. We finally decided on Blu Lens Caribe. Has anyone else booked with them?? Lauren, such cute cats! I like how both you and Bre said your fiancés weren't really cat people and now they love them.. Same here! Mine really did not want to get a cat but we went out to the SPCA one day and left with a little black cat. Now he absolutely loves her and she follows him around the house like a little puppy, its pretty adorable! I call her boo, though she has about 100 different names!! Carlota, I'm sure you're getting excited.. it's coming up so fast! I've also got my fingers crossed that everything will work out with the paperwork!! I hope the next few weeks are relatively stress free for you! I have just under 5 months to go... I'm starting to stress a little. I feel like there is still so much to do! I sent a huge list of questions to Grace so I'm hoping some of those answers will ease my mind a bit! ha Noah

Hey Bre and Casey, I booked the Styling Trio Riviera Maya for my wedding in December (prices are below). One of my girlfriends who got married at the Palladium last year also booked them and said they were awesome. I had looked into the Zentropia Spa as well... Pricing for the bridesmaids and family members were comparable. The bridal options from the Styling Trio are a bit pricier (from what I can remember, I haven't looked at the Zentropia price list for a while now!) however this is something I don't mind spending a little extra on as I'm quite picky!! They come right to your room and do both your hair and make up there. The Facebook page and website links are below. Oh and one more thing, Adrian is the CEO so to book with him costs a little more as well. Hope this helps! https://www.facebook.com/stylingtrio http://stylingtriorivieramaya.com PRICING: THE BRIDE HAS HER OPTIONS: Bridal Package w/ Trial (includes Hair Styling, Airbrush Makeup & Lashes): $450 USD w/ Adrian: $600 USD Wedding Day ONLY: (includes services listed above minus the trial): $325 USD w/Adrian: $400 USD Airbrush Makeup w/ TRIAL: 300 USD w/ Adrian: $400 USD Airbrush Makeup Wedding Day ONLY w/ lashes: 175 USD w/Adrian: $200 USD Hair Styling w/ TRIAL: 300 USD Hair Styling w/o TRIAL: 175 USD AS DOES THE BRIDAL PARTY: Bridal Party, Grandma Sue & The "Rest of the Familia" Package: $150 USD per person (includes Hair, Airbrush Makeup & Lashes) Hair Solo: 90 USD* Makeup Solo: 90 USD*

Hi Ladies! I've been reading this thread for a while now as well and it has definetly been helpful! I am getting married on December 4, 2013 at 4:00pm. Our reception will be at La Laguna. Does anyone know if there are any other options for the dinner besides their set menus? I was hoping to have a couple different options but I'm not sure if it is possible to have more than one main course option. Carlota, Would you be able to email me a copy of your planning document as well? My email is [email protected]. Much appreciated! Any help on this would be great! Thank you! Noah

Good Morning Carlota, I was also wondering if you could please send me this document? My email address is [email protected]. Thanks so much!! - Noah
