Massiel is the BESSSTTTT!

I just got the silver and it was plently.............. def money well spent!

OMG I love Severine too!!!! She did an AMMMMAAZZING job I would recommend her to ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just find it ridiculous that you have to worry about liquor at your wedding when everyone is paying a lot of money at an all inclusive place......... I cant afford to worry about liquor! Josh do you know what number the plaza bar is on the resort map at the elegance?

Is tehre a limit of how much they put in your mini bar?

what and where is duty free?

The restaurants at the Elegance I believe are better then the Colonial and have better decor, especially the steak house. The restaurants on the beach are basically the same. At the moment they share the same spa, casino and sports bar. The Elegance has which is called the 'Elegance Club' which is an upgraded service that gives you an adults only area, a lounge with free internet and snacks, big outside beds, and a personal butler. The Colonial doesn't have anything similar to this. Price definitely depends on timing, eventually the Elegance will be more expensive all the time but right now it fluctuates a lot. Josh question... the adult only sections are ONLY for Elegance Club member or adults... and the roof top bars can we access them if we are not in the club? Also what time does the plaza bar close at night??

I am not sure how many brides did this but I got the idea from here somewhere is that many of the private locations are a short walk away from opened bars.. So that is what I am doing... Sandra the WC said from the parrot bar the plaza bar is like a 2 minute walk and my small group of 20 people will not mind taking that walk..... I cant see paying 300 for the space and another 400 for open bar for an all inclusive!

Sandra does take a while to respond... I heard that she is the head wedding coordinatior though so thats is prob why she oversees everyone and has her own things to deal with.... Good luck to everyone my day is quickly approaching!

I booked at Majestic Elegance and one couple is staying 5 nights and its like 2300 for them soooo 4000 sounds wwwaaayyyy off....... good luck!

MARIESAM.... She got it right! Stay strong!

Welll iiifff anyone knows an IPOD that is good outdoors I am getting one next weekk......BOSE is TOOOOOO expensive

Hmmm... I cannot find ANYONE who has used something outside to let me know the comapny..................

Hey Ladies.... So I am trying to figure out how everyone made their cute tags for their oot bags and favors..... Where do I get the paper and is there a special set up? Need some direction!

I am walking down to "steady as we go" by DMB........

I am lookin for portable speakers for my Ipod which I will be using for music at a private gathering after dinner... Was wondering what brand some of you have and used that had good enough sound outside.... any tips?

no problem I am happy someone found it so great...........

Is that all you paid too? I know it costs extra to get your certificate translated too upon receipt. Well I got quoted 125 per person.... THATS IT.... I dont think that is too expensive and I dont feel hassled or stressed.... WEDO comes highly recommened.... Good luck... finally I found somone in my boat

I decided not to.... i love them but its just not us.... I am keeping it real

Well I am getting married in DR in about a month and suprisingly it has been hassle free.... I spent 250 dollars to get some documents and my TA faxed some paper work and thats it... I will have to send my certificate to get transfered to english once we get back... people say that can take up to 6 months to get your original but its just a piece of paper to me so I can wait.... So I was nervous and frantic but I want my real I DO to be on one day and thats it so thats how I decided.... I know it is really popular to do it at home.... it basically your choice

Here is our ring bearer plate I got a few weeks ago from etsy. It will definitely go on our wall when we get back. that is sooo cute you will be having your ring bearer carry this

Well bringing it I plan on filling it with newspaper or something... and when we are traveling home I plan on putting it in my carry on I will probaby secure the sand by shoving papertowels or something in the bottle to make it tight and tape the top on.... I have seen ideas on how to travel back with your vase so I will do some searching to find those threads.........

I have been searching for a vase and kept seeing teh same ones over and over... I found this website and FELL in love with the VENUS VASE.... Here the link if someone is interested........... Moon Glow Supplies - Wedding Sand Ceremony Vases

where did you get all the labels??
