Hi Moon Palace brides! I am starting to feel really jealous of all you who are such good planners. My wedding is scheduled for 5/25/09 and we have signed the contract. But other than the save the dates and getting a local travel agent to coordinate all my guests I haven't done much. I did email the contact person in Miami and she told me that I couldn’t do any planning with the on-site wedding coordinator until three months before the wedding. It sounds like most of you all are much further in the planning process that I am, should I be worried? I do have a few questions: 1. I would like to bring an outside photographer, what is the procedure for getting this done? 2. We want a private reception for 40-50, can someone give an estimate on cost? 3. I am pretty low key so as long as there are some flowers and we are able to use an IPod for music and the reception is outside I am pretty unconcerned about the details. Is this going to come back and bite me later? Do I need to stay on top of the details if I want this event to be tasteful? 4. When people talk about welcome and farewell dinners are these "private functions" where the per person fee applies or did you all just show up in a certain place together? Thanks in advance for any advice that anyone can provide. Best, Serena the most unbride bride ever!
