Destination Wedding @ Hotel Del - Need Vendors

Hi Everyone. We are from Boston and we are having a destination wedding at the Hotel Del in Coronado on July 21, 2011. I'd love to hear your recommendations on vendors. We need a dj, florist, photographer, makeup artist, and hair stylist. Thanks so much.

    We listened to a sample CD for Elite British DJ.  He sounded very nice and professional.  He was a bit beyond our budget, so we didn't contact him further, but he might be worth looking into.

    ImagesByAaron.com  for photography.  He's based in LA but specializes in destination weddings and outdoor photography (but does it all).  He's super sweet and more than happy to work with brides and their budgets.  Trust me girl, he's worth it!

    He photographed my wedding and we did a trash the dress shoot the following day, and we got a really good deal for doing both. 

    Good luck!

    Can I ask what your budget is for the destination wedding at the Del?  My fiancee and I are looking into it as well.

    DJ's-

    Dennis Jones
    both offer lighting, etc

    For photographers I agree with all of the above, check them out and find one that matches the style of your event
    hair and makeup- Lovestruck Makeup or JH Artistry
    lovestruck does hair also 
    Kailyn Sieminski hair is also a wonderful choice 
    best wishes!
