I think it will be fine. My FI is only having his one brother and they're both wearing the same suit, shirt and tie. To make them look a little different I bought a pocketsquare for my FI and they will have different color bouts. If we had more groomsmen I would have gone a totally different route but with only one Ithought it would look funny. I think as long as all the groomsmen look alike than it will be fine.

I also have heard nothing, bummer

Sent you a PM

Hi. Has anyone used Kini Kini for transportation for wedding guests? Any information would be helpful. Thanks!

Yes the Tara Beach Suites are the nicest they have. They're much more expensive but for your honeymoon I def think it's worth it. You also get a covered cabana on the beach if you book one of the Suites. Good luck!

I've stayed at the Bucuti. It has the best beach of all the hotels, very white sand, quiet, you'll love it

I just bought some at Walmart. They were $6.22 for the 34 oz. I think the 50 oz. were a little over $8. I would have bought them but don't think I can fit them

Those are beautiful. They weren't available when I sent out my STDs so I went to Zazzle and got them with my monogram. They're really cute but expensive. I love these.

I felt the same way about Inge when I first dealt with her. Like you I was ready to go somewhere else. Then just pushed back a little and she was okay. I met her when I went down in November and she is really very nice but she doesn't come across like that. How have communications gone with your new coordinator? I have Kimberly and have only got one email from her. I know this is their busy season so I'm letting it go but as it gets closer I expect more attention. I miss Patrick sooo much. He was great!

You can't order online? I live in Boston and we have no Canadian Tire stores here

I would also be interested if they go on sale again. That's a great price!

Tracey, I am getting married at the Westin on 10/20/11. I love it too! Did you go down to meet with Patrick? I was so bummed when he left!

Hi. I am using Victor also. I loved him when I met him. I'm going to check out your facebook for the makeup artist and hairdresser. Thanks!

Very cool! You look awesome! Congratulations

We're getting married on October 20, 2011. I think they're a little behind because the wedding planner that was doing my wedding left. His name was Patrick and he was awesome. I met him in November when I went down for my site visit. They have replaced him but I think they're still trying to get it together. His boss is Inge van Roon and she is the one you'll be hearing from first. She's very nice also.

E2 is Edwina's business and she is a wedding planner. The Westin rents things from her - chairs, decor, etc. If I had to do it again I'd work exclusively with her.  PM IIf     If you want I'll pm you her info.

Hi ladies. I am getting married at the Westin Aruba on October 20, 2011. We are legally getting married at home at town hall. We will celebrate the date of the ceremony in Aruba. It is much easier and cheaper too. I think it costs another $500 for the legal wedding.

Hi. I haven't been on this thread for a while. I'm getting married October 20, 2011 at the Westin Aruba. Just ordered my bridesmaids dresses.

Hi. Do you still have the dark orange satin ribbon and plastic bags? Will pm you.

I haven't heard of a Bonny. The only person I've had any dealings with other than the Westin is Edwina Werleman from E2. Her email is [email protected]. She is the nicest woman and she sincerely wants all brides to be happy. I wanted to rent lanterns and a chuppah from her and I got a price which was too high for me. She came down in her price and is willing to negotiate. I would HIGHLY recommend her. If I were you I would email her just to get a feel from her. I think you'll be surprised how much she wants to help.

Thanks TraceySteve. Any help would be great. I want to talk to my WC and ask her about it. I mean, a service charge is like tipping right? I don't mind paying if the vendors are going to get it but I don't want to have to tip on top of that. I'm very confused about all this.

Hi. I am getting married at the Westin in October. The Westin adds approximately 17% service charge to everything. My question is are you all paying a service charge at your hotel? I understand on the food, drinks, etc. but they have also booked my photographer, florist, d.j. and steel pan player. They are adding that service charge to everything. I was going to hire a woman myself for some other decor and they kind of just took over. I don't mind having them do it (less work for me) but now I will have to pay a service charge for that too. I plan on tipping all my vendors very well but I'm wondering who is getting the money that Westin is collecting on the service charge? Do the vendors get that and if not why is the Westin collecting it?

Any help would be appreciated.
