yes, i definitely will keep you updated. monica and i need to read through this post and ask any questions that haven't already been answered.... has anyone been to 'Our Lady of Fatima' catholic church in ochos rios? pics? monica was wondering... we are debating on paying the extra fee to have a private dinner reception (i think it's $35 more per person) over the standard appetizer only deal. thoughts? what is the 'commemorative gift' that you receive if you get the beaches name published in your newspaper? thanks, troy

yes, PLEASE email anything and everything you have! thanks for the responses. i'm sure more questions will pop up shortly! [email protected] thanks again, troy

hello everyone, first off, thanks for the warm welcoming in the "newbie" forum. my beautiful fiance and i are getting married @ beaches boscobel on Jan 31, 2009. she is very worried about everything and i told her i would post to the forum since many of you have either experienced or are in the same shoes as us and can maybe help provide some answers. we will have a catholic wedding at a local church (our lady of fatima -- ochos rios), not the resort. here are her initial concerns: 1. which wedding moon package do others recommend? standard or private (more $$$) ? standard comes with a 30 minute reception for $300. for $25 extra per person, you get a 'private' reception and open bar (thought that was already included at the resort?) $50 extra per person, you get a private dinner reception. $75 extra per person, you get a 'private wedding reception' is it worth it to pay the extra fees? can you just make a reservation at one of the restaurants for your party (there will be about 20-25 of us in all). 2. which photography package do you recommend? would it make more sense to have the resort provide it or hire a local come and do it? 3. did you purchase flowers through the resort? how were they? 4. is there a place at the resort for dancing in the evenings? 5. since this is a catholic wedding, how were other people's experiences with the travel to/from the church? flowers and music at the church? any information provided will be a tremendous help! thanks, troy

thanks for the big welcome!
