CaboDate

We used them at Villa Grande for both coordination & Catering and everything turned out perfectly. Patricia had great ideas for decorations showed me pictures and had everything nailed down for me. It was waayyy easier than I expected it. They really took care of all of it. I just picked colors and flowers and they had it all done. Oh and I picked my photographer.. pretty nice all in one.

will do.. Thanks Everyone!!

Hi all.. I just wanted to say thanks again to everyone who offered advice during my wedding planning. Hard to believe we've been married for six months now. I just wanted to leave a final post. My husband and I are moving to Shanghai China where his company has offered him an amazing job opportunity.. and I will likely not be checking this site much more!! This has been such a huge resource for me, and I'm convinced my wedding would not have been as great without you all. Best of luck to all!!

A friend of mine got married at the Marquis and it was fabulous! Very beautiful setting and the food was phenominal! I don't know how much they paid but it was great. We only went elsewhere to be different since our weddings weren't far apart.

Bradley was my photog too! I'm a big fan.. and if you need restaurant advice.. he writes reviews for mags in Cabo too!

I'm so glad I saw this.. sorry I haven't been around much now that the wedding planning is over. I'd like to come too! Let me give you a definate yes or no by the end of the week. By the way.. are you talking about the big bin36? or the one on Milwaukee in Wicker Park?

We honeymooned there and stayed at the Tides.. its a beautiful place and the food is phenominal. Might be worth checking out.. it was pricey though. And we loved Casa Que Canta!!

We used Kustom Koozies and it worked out great.. I only ordered 45.

We used Bradley too and loved him. He has a great personality and even my guests said they didn't even realize he was there. He's stealth like. He gave us the CD of every picture he snapped.. and it's been so much easier than the normal drama you go through ordering pics from the photographer. I was looking for the more photo-journalistic style and he was great.

I actually wanted to use Mi Casa but they were booked out for another event the night of my rehearsal. We ended up going to Panchos. I have to say my meal wasn't very good.. but the atmosphere and the service was great and my family loved it. So maybe it was just what I ordered.

Our wedding coordinator was available through our caterer.. I think it was an $1100 add on. We used Patricia with Lazy Gourmet..

I bought a Maggie and mine was about 1500$ not including alterations. I didn't have many because of the corset back. But you can find them cheaper on ebay!

The pictures look fantastic!! We used Bradley too.. he was fantastic!

just had to post for fun.. Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley have been spotted honeymooning in Cabo. Anyone know where they're staying (stayed)?

Congrats.. & Good luck planning.. Love the Westin.. stayed there our first time in Cabo!

Congrats & Welcome..

Welcome.. and Good luck with planning.. I got married this past October in a Villa in Pedregal. This is a fantastic place for resources!!

ohh.. we honeymooned here.. It's fantastic!!

I've done a dozen halfs/fulls & tri's.. and the only thing I can seriously stress (besides the water) make sure to run the full distance once before the race! A lot of training programs will only take you to 11 or 12 miles.. and you will be unhappy on race day if you cut the training short!

I am worried because we can only have music until 10:30 p.m. We had our ceremony at 5.. but don't forget to consider the light. Daylight savings kicked in after our ceremony.. and you'll get the best pictures in full light before the sun goes down! You can get some sunset shots.. but they're not the best for all of them. Also.. I was just wondering.. because I'm in Chicago too.. the picture of your place looks just like my sister's old place on Wellington.. That would be crazy if it's the same place!

I actually have an eternity band for my wedding band.. my jeweler said it was best to stick with platinum to match my engagement ring.. but because most of the ring is small diamonds it wasn't as expensive as a full platinum band. You're in Chicago right? I have a great jeweler who worked individually with me and my husband.. he's in the Gold Coast if you're interested!

Hello.. I think we messaged before.. but I'm a big fan of the Villa wedding.. we did Villa Grande and it was fantastic.. If you send me your email address I can send you some better photos! I personally did not have any problems with the noise ordinance rules.. but you never know.. it's a shot in the dark.

Thank you so much.. I was freaking out.. the wait was 2 hours long last week when I tried to go, and I don't have that much time tomorrow to get it done! I feel better!

Question for you married ladies out there.. I'm in the process of changing my name.. and I saw the Social Security Administration (and the DMV) both say it has to be done within 30 days of your wedding date. Did anyone do it later than that? Or is the SS very strict with that 30 day policy? I'm running really close to my 30 days and hope to go tomorrow.. but my work schedule is all across the board this week! Thanks..

We have a couple of friends that are thinking about going that route instead of staying at a resort or hotel. It's always nice to get recommendations because I trust the review on the forum! There are several places you can go.. but we used SunCabo.. and I can tell you.. we got our deposit back right when we got back from our Honeymoon. Really I don't have anything fabulous to say about them.. but everything went smoothly.. so that's great!
