That actually works out better. Who did you speak with? Did you have to do a lot negotiation? Thanks, Jess

Congrats!!!! I'm sure that your wedding will be beautiful. Enjoy every moment. Jess

Thanks for the update. I'm looking forward to trying out the pastries especially after being on a diet.

I don't think you want music to end at 9:30 - that seems really early. Our music ended at 10:30 and we rushed to plug in our ipod in our little portable player to at least have some background music, but it's not the same as having the DJ system for everyone to dance to. DJ Ricardo is already booked but I did send DJ Mijares an email to see he's assistant can DJ the last hour. What time did your reception end? Jess

Your pictures came out great. I especially love your pictures in the black corset and white slip. Where did you get your outfits? Jess

Your pictures came out so good. I'm still trying to work up the courage!! Jess

The pictures came out amazing!!!

It was at least 8.5. he came at 1:30 and stayed until after 10pm he's amazing you have to book him OMG!!!! I can't believe that you booked him so long!!! He is really good but very expensive. I spoke to him last week and he is booked on my wedding day. He might do an engagement session for me while I'm there so we talked a bit last Friday about pricing. Jess

Quote: Originally Posted by mich999 Jess - that's crazy. Why would he have to leave at 9:30? He can't possibly have another event that night, can he?! Yes, he actually has a wedding to do for a really close friend so he was going to send his assistant but I wasn't too excited about that. He said that he would be able to come but only until 9:30pm. I didn't ask him if his assistant could DJ for another hour. I guess there is no harm in asking but he can't then I guess 9:30 it will be. Maybe I will bring the fire dancers to keep the party going. I'm not sure. Jess

Quote: Originally Posted by Ana no not yet I emailed Juan on Friday as well, but I haven't heard anything yet its been 2.5mos already I'm super super antsy I can only imagine. I've been dying to see them so I can only imagine how you must feel. I just spoke to Juan on Friday about shooting us for an engagement session. He did mention he has been really busy. How long did you book him for? Jess

How exciting!!!! I'm looking forward to reading your review. The Sheraton was were I was initially going to have my wedding but I decided to change it to Dreams. Please post some pictures so that we can all enjoy. Jess

Thank you guys for the info. I'm getting ready to sign my contract with DJ Mijares but he told me that he has to leave at 9:30 so I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do. Jess

Quote: Originally Posted by Erika J I think Dreams requires the receptions outside to end at 10:30pm, but i know Ana and many of her guests then went to the club desires in Dreams until about midnight. Do you know if the hotel allows all wedding guests to go to the club or only Dreams guests? Jess

We booked him for 5 hours for a wedding of 45 people and he took over 1000 pictures. We did not purchase an album, but you can always add that later if you change your mind. Every hour you add on to the minimum is an additional charge and I don't know if his hourly rates and charge for proofs have changed since I booked him last fall. Thanks for the info. Jess

Ana, Have you got your pro pics? Jess

Do you know what the cut off time is for Dreams? Jess

Did you purchase the package for 5 hours? Jess

Brides, I tried searcing the forum but I couldn't find any information on how many hours of DJ service brides were or have used. I'm gettting ready to finalize my contract with DJ Mijares and I'm trying to determine how many hours to hire him for. I would love some feedback. Jess

Hi Girls, I just thought I would pass along some information regarding Sunrider Tours. I have just booked a private cruise tour with them and I am paying $40.55pp with a guarantee of 40 people. For every additional person, I will pay $35pp and children are half price. Also, there is a public tour that you could use Vouchers that saves you about $15pp so your cost per person is about $30. The vouchers have to purchased through Los Cabos Guide. Below is the link: Cabo San Lucas Prepaid Voucher Discount Program - Discounts Available The only downside is that they will not reserve a section of the boat for your party. Los Cabos Guide offers vouchers for different vendors so for those brides looking for some discounts I would definitly check out the link. Jessica

Do you have your contact person at Sunriders? Thanks, Jess

What are Juan Carlos prices? I called him several months ago and he quoted me $6,000 for 8hrs and that didn't include the album. Is this still his prices?

Very well done. Did you have any issues with the your reception location and hotel guest traffic? Jess

Dino, how much do The Twins charge?
