We looked into Las Palmeras with the adjacent villa - however our guest list will probably be around 110. I understand that is too many for a reception at the Palmeras villa. So - we need to have the entire wedding at another location - prob a hotel. Where is your wedding ceremony going to be? When we crunched some numbers it might be impossible financially for me to rent out those two villas and afford to have the wedding and reception at a separate location. Was the villa or coordinators willing to work with you or did you not have any budget concerns? This place is my first choice so I love the feedback. Thanks soooo much for you help! J

What is the event fee at the villa? $1000 WC seems super reasonable. I have communicated with them via email however I am curious about the "members only" menu - is there alot to choose from? Do you like the decor selections and flowers....etc and are these items prices inflated to make up for the flat coordination fee? Finally, what do they offer food wise per person - I know I won't be cheap here but our guests also will not have lobster!! Any thoughts you have about this - I would appreciate! I am just nervous about pulling the trigger on a coordinator!!! Thank you soo much! Justine

Wow - these places rally do book up fast! I am sorry to hear your date was taken....booo!! I am planning for fall of 2009 - I better get on it! Do the Dream's brides out there mind answering a few questions as I wait to hear back from some WC's?? Must the bride and groom stay at Dreams resort? We were hoping to gift our wedding party with a Villa for 5 nights while the rest of our guests stay at Dreams. I wonder if it is possible to hold the event there without staying there. ...anyone know? Are you happy with the Dreams WC or would you suggest an outside one? Were you happy with the Dreams photog or would you suggest an outside one? Thanks is advance - the pics from Dreams weddings look beautiful! Justine

Thanks for the suggestion.....that place is beautiful! Are you staying there as well? For the wedding party we rented a villa for 5 days. Unfortunately, our wedding list is at 130 so we cannot have the wedding at the villa. Are you able to have a wedding at that place if you are not staying there? Maybe I could have most of my guests stay there. Is the price per head $115 of less? I have a $18K budget on the actual reception and photog? Thanks again!

We have a very large group (100-150 guests) and I was hoping for suggestions as to the most affordable place to hold a ceremony and reception of this size? Also, do coordinators charge per head?...or a % or flat fee? Thanks sooo much!!!

Hi!! My name is Justine and I live in Santa Monica, CA. Dann and I are looking to have a PV wedding in the fall of 2009.
