Just wanted to check something our TA has said, we have booked a beach cermony @ Sensatori, with the gold wedding package, but she has said that we have to have the reception at Blue International restaurant @ Azul Beach?!? Thanks girls & happy planning! I was going to say CONGRATS but then saw that you are the MOH lol, so instead! I'm with Taylorwd, I think they've made a mistake, that sounds ridic.

Oh wow Virginia, I didn't realize they would be working separate... makes sense though. And I wouldn't be too bummed about it. Lori did the "girls" pics and Lincoln did the guys before we all met at the ceremony location. They were all great pics and them working separate wouldn't be a make it or break decision for me! They're both fantastic and I still say go for it!

Sorry I missed you Amy & Katie. I was hoping to catch you before you left Amy, please, please, please, ENJOY your day!!! Put all of your crazy planning thoughts aside and just embrace what the day brings! I know it will be perfect! Can't wait to hear about it when you get back! xoxo Katie, an early congrats! Have an amazing wedding!!

Oh, just caught one of the new dates! Congrats Chong!!

So basically any and all advice that you ladies can share would be great! I'm looking forward to getting to know you all and learn along the way. Hopefully, when I get started with all of this I can offer some assistance also! Welcome!!! First and foremost - prepare for more drama. The best advice I can give is to ignore it and not let people ruin your planning process because of it. For those that choose not to come, your wedding will still be awesome without them and they will likely realize what idiots they were being after its all said and done. Just a little tip for your ceremony time - I'm not sure how many pics you're planning to do after your ceremony but the sun sets pretty early at that time of year. I originally had mine scheduled for 4pm but my photogs had me change it to 3pm which I'm glad we did. By the time we were heading to dinner after our pics, it was already dark. But if you can't change your time or don't want to, its not a big deal . Just thought I would throw it out there!

Please let me know: 1. how many people travelled with you 7 plus us 2. how were the rooms (your's & your guests)A+ 3. how was the wedding venue perfect 4. how was the check in process? did you get the room you expectedthey actually screwed up our check in, but it got sorted out... don't worry about it 5. how was the reception? was it private i did a non-private and it was a blast 6. how was the beach not the greatest, but because the pools are so clean and not too busy we didn't feel like we were missing anything 7. if you had it to do over again...... Absolutely!! Or just post some info on the experience. I just want to know if I should stay on course or pick another location. Seriously, don't even read the reviews. You have to remember that most people only do a review if they have complaints. And of course some people complain about everything. My only advice, the hotel is expensive IMO to do a private event for a big group. It would have been out of my budget. But if you can afford it or are willing to go without some things, then I 100% say do it! Quote: Originally Posted by amandamarieb Is anyone using their ceremony flowers for the reception also? If so, what are your plans? The wedding co-ordinator took them from my ceremony site and put them in the restaurant for me.

Quote: Originally Posted by Maidofhonour8 With regards to the BBQ, if it is minimum of 30 what are the options for a smaller party reception (ie our 12 guests?!) ideally would like somewhere private for speeches etc is there somewhere available & if anyone has a resort map or pics of the areas available please can you email them to me: [email protected] Thanks again guys! K x My wedding was a party of 9. We didn't meet the minimum for any of the private options and that wasn't the route I wanted to go anyways. We selected the spoons option and the hotel ended up giving us our own private room at the Siena Restaurant.

I agree with Erika, more details needed. What's your definition of getting screwed? Hope it all works out.

Wishing you the most fabulous day of your life! Enjoy every minute of it. Thinking of you and can't wait to hear all about it! xoxo

Amy, I was sooo stressed before my wedding that on numerous occassions I debated cancelling it and just eloping. Actually if people hadn't put down deposits I'm pretty sure that's what would have happened lol. BUT, even though I'm still feeling hurt by a lot of people, I have NEVER regretted doing a DW. Honestly, now that I've done it, I wouldn't even consider something at home. And for those idiots causing you stress.... you won't miss them if they don't end up coming. I didn't even miss the fact that we had NO parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles.... it didn't matter and still doesn't. Don't worry, I'm positive you'll feel the same way

There was a $45 charge on my invoice for sand ceremony, but it got refunded to me . They told me it was a charge if they provide you with sand lol. And since I brought my own, I got my money back Interesting. I was told it would still cost me if I brought my own sand, so I was like wtf, may as well use their's. Quote: Originally Posted by lolo Hello Ladies!!! I have returned a married woman!!! The wedding was fabulous.

I didn't care that I didn't have programs, place settings or alot of decorations. The whole day seems like a dream....I can't belive it's over Welcome back and congrats! Your pics are amazing . You're a beautiful bride. And the bolded sentence is key. Completely true!!

I was disappointed with turn out of my website too. Since we didn't have a lot of people attending the wedding, my plan was to use the comments page from the website in a scrapbook or something, so we had the "well wishes" to go back and read.... so much for that! I had originally said I was going to update the website as I was planning, but since barely anyone had the courtesy to even RSVP or say Congrats I said screw it! I try not to take it personally. I think when people see websites they may think "optional" or something, I'm not sure lol. If it makes you feel any better, I care . And I know how much work it is and how much recognition you SHOULD be receiving for it. Forget everyone else, I don't even waste my time trying to figure them out anymore!

Quote: Originally Posted by Sammyhawk Do you know if you bring your own sand ceremony stuff if they still charge 40 dollars or whatever for a sand ceremony? You have to provide your own sand ceremony set. The $40 is for actually performing the ceremony. They included the sand.

Congrats ladies!!!
