Well ladies we finally received our wedding video from the resort and I cried...it was AWEFUL! Not only can you NOT hear what anyone is saying because the music is SO LOUD....but they didn't even record MY vows?!? Only my husbands, what is up with that?
So ladies, words of advice ensure you talk to the videographer (Fabio) prior to him leaving. I have emailed him twice and also sent Natalia an email. I have no problem paying for another DVD but seriously, wanna hear my vows on my wedding video...is that soooo much to ask for? Grrrrr....

Here are a few more pics of our dance "floor" again, I wouldn't change a thing! DT positioned some of the lights from the Seaside Grill that provided some additional spot lighting as well. Sorry about the quality of the photos they were taken with my brother's blackberry..but they give you an idea.

Mere words cannot describe the creativity and workmanship that the entire del Sol team produces. It was our HONOUR to have recently worked with them….they captured our memories and our hearts. Congratulations does not seem adequate! They deserve every bit of praise that comes their way!!

The pictures of your wedding day will be cherish for years to come. You will reflect upon them occasionally come anniversaries..in happy times and in times of frustration…your daughter may look through them as she gets older for inspiration for her very own wedding. This was the importance my DH and I placed on our photographer. Though we were having a destination wedding, one exception that we were not willing to compromise on was our photographer. After months and I mean MONTHS of searching through countless photographers, we finally came to a decision. And it happened to be our first choice HAHA
Del Sol's creativity and ability to capture the essence of a moment was what originally drew us to their work. This is a gift that Matt, Sol and Vincent share with their clients and with all those that view their work. Their photojournalistic style was the creativity that we were looking for….their attention to detail is unsurpassed.
Vincent went above and beyond to become a part of our friends and family in a matter of hours. He worked up a sweat to get "the perfect shot" and was always suggesting new poses or lighting to bring creativity to the shot.
If you haven't decided on a photographer, I can not say enough wonderful things about our entire experience with del Sol. Aaaaand, as if my words weren't enough…they were just named in the Top 10 Wedding Photographers of 2009!!!! Need I say more

The surf and turf was great! Our meat eaters loved it!

No we were going to control it ourselves. I'm not sure why they can't quote/charge CONSISTENT prices!

I sent a similar email to [email protected] and they responded saying they would forward my request to the wedding coordinator, which is pretty ironic because when I asked Landy this same question, she told me to email the hotel. I'm getting super frustrated!!!!
Hey Teesha, the address I used was '[email protected]' and dealt with Javier. They were very quick to respond and very accomodating! -

My communication prior to the wedding was with Matt and not with Vincent (similar to yourself and Sol). I bought them two day passes ($50 each) and merely left them at the front desk for when they arrived. They called me when they arrived and my brother greeted them in the lobby and brought them to my room. C'est ca! They then divided, Vincent with myself and Paco with my DH prior to the ceremony. Again, they were FANTASTIC!
I bought silk orchids from Dollarama and spent maybe $20 on the whole DIY project. So super easy! If you need instructions PM me hun...they looked beautiful. -
No worries Beth! Each of the colours was 54" wide (although comes doubled, the stuff is so thin!) and 120 feet (i.e. 40 yards) long. I debated too but was sooooo happy I brought my own.

my 11 year old nephew snapped this and i'm just in love with it
Rebecca& George:
I'm not 100% on #1 but they did offer this to my mom so I would think its included in the up do price
2. Sadly yes, the $365 fee still applies. Sorry hun...RIDICULOUS I KNOW!
3. I too brought my decorations home to match our AHR, and they had them back to our room that very night
SoontobeTWells: They tend to charge you an arm and a leg for anything extra. So I would totally suggest attempting to scope out your own fabric. I know they have overlays for the table but I have only heard of the resort offering white tulle for the gazebo.

I was so focused on my DH, sappy I know....I didn't notice anyone looking. My Dad had mentioned that there were "on lookers" but it still felt private. We were so focused on eachother and our guests that I didn't notice...share the love!

If you want to hook your iPod up to any of the speakers they charge you through the nose If you utilize your iPod docking station there is no fee.....it is my understanding that the cocktail hour is part of the reception and thus the reception fee applies. Crazy I know! -
Ida, seriously Vincent is freaking fantastic! The pics he showed us on his camera were phenomenal! I will most definitely share the link as soon as I have it
Ummm, they didn't charge us for hanging the orchids...as I think this was because of their oversight with the massage hut. I didn't ask They were soooo easy to make and easy to transport (I simply wrapped them around empty wrapping paper rolls and tossed them in the suitcase).

That was my thought too Joanna! So you can imagine my surprise to find out it was demolished! Well at least future brides know

Ya I was passed around to a bunch of different coordinators as well. This is why I printed off my emails and I'm SOOO GLAD I did. Natalia didn't know what Anabel/Landy/Lizette had agreed to, etc. She wasn't even aware of our ceremony requests. So just to save yourself any frustrations while you are there, print off a little security package. It saved us a ton of time and any additional questions. -
