They are telling people all kinds of different stuff which leads me to believe that they are just getting all that they can out of us.

She told me that with the IPOD you just rent the sound system which I think is on the price list as $180 per hour. I emailed her to find out if we could bring our own speakers but haven't heard back yet. I was thinking about buying the BOSE system for at home and then bringing it with me. Jilly, I what BOSE system would you purchase to bring to play your ipod?

Anyone know what Dreams location this is

Lizzy Lizzy, I'm in the same boat with trying to find a bakery.....I'm trying to find one in the Cancun area..what about you? (sorry, I forgot!)

Without knowing you personally, you sound like you could get away with blue nail polish and everyone would love it! Like a conversation piece!!!! (i wouldn''t worry so much about a bruised toenail girl!)

There also can be a lot of extra charges in addition to the price of the pre-set wedding packages. I've realized the packages don't include a sound system for the ceremony, music for the reception, gazebo decoration, centerpieces for the dinner tables, dance floor..etc... so watch out for all the extra things...they add up! Sound system for the ceremony and 4 hours or so for the reception runs somewhere around $1000!!! All of the extras that are NOT included in the packages add up quickly!

Just sent this to Bryan, can't wait for his reaction!

Jill...in your situation, any of these would be good for you considering that you think you might be under the 20 person Max. With ours, we are going to have to pay the cost for each cocktail reception and dinner for anyone over the total # of 20. IT ALL ADDS UP! (we will be having around 40 people min. so far) Not to mention, The bigger the package, the more stuff that we will not be using, but already in the price of the package. (we will not be needing a minister, cake, etc.) I actually tried to to the al alcarte way, and it almost seemed cheaper to do the package instead. Once you add in the sound system and dance floor and stuff..... Hope I didn't confuse you! Leigh

I like it! Very nice with a different and original touch! Where did you get it?

I know orchids look beautiful with this kind of look but I'm guessing that would be so expensive. For the cabo brides how much does a single orchid cost? I've done this before...and i used Gerbera Daisy's. They are very light, and they looked amazing in the bowl with a floating candle on the table.

oh, I love it! Are you taking pictures with you? Good choice! How long did it take her?
