Congrats Natalie! Looks like a beautiful wedding, the pics are gorgeous. Less than a month till I leave for my day!! !!! ...Just a couple questions if you don't mind? or any recent brides can answer Did you purchase your maracas there or bring with you? Which of the reception halls were you in? Did you have to bring all of your own votives/candles or do they provide for you Thanks!!!!

Those are beautiful! Nice work!!!!

Hey there Diamondpooch! Haven't seen you on here in a while....I noticed the date change, Sad I won't get to meet you in May Hope all is going well!

Yay Sandra! The pics are gorgeous, can't wait to see more! I am also using Adrian for my wedding makeup, very glad to hear you were satisfied. You always feel better hearing more positive feedback about the vendors you've hired

Congratulations Sandra! So glad to hear everything went beautifully!! Can't wait to read the review and see your pics!

Thanks, Steph Hi there Steph, I would just contact Maggie, her number is on the website listed . While she has set packages with prices, she was willing to customize a package for me. I booked her for a 4 night stay. I would think prices would depend on availability, length of stay, what exactly you need..etc. But she is super sweet and very easy to talk to. For me, when I compared prices, what came in the packages, length of time I would have the photographer etc.., it just made more sense to bring someone with me, but Photography was very important to me...Hope that helps...

Since Maggie hasn't been to Barcelo Maya before, I promise we will scope out all the good photo places for you guys. Our dates are getting close! Becky Hi Becky! I'm so excited to have Maggie as well. I happened to just run across her work when I was looking for a local reception hall and just fell in love with her photos! She is the sweetest, just an absolute doll and I can't wait to see how she captures our day..Thanks ahead of time for scoping out great photo spots! Where are you planning on having your ceremony? Have you picked colors and all that good stuff yet? I thought I had it all figured out and then ran across another scheme I liked so Now I'm trying to decide again..I guess I need to stop looking at bridal magazines LOL! Our dates are getting so close!!!! Jeri

Her website is Maggie Stolzberg Photography - Destination Wedding & Lifestyle Photographer We are using an ipod instead of a DJ. Hey there Mctilleys! I'm also using Maggie as my photographer for our May 29th, 2010 wedding You must be the other couple she was telling me about! Welcome to the Forum and Happy planning!!!

As for the fans, I got them from Oriental Trading (it was the cheapest) and they were all suppose to be medium but they were all TOTALLY different sizes. I mean super small and then large. So, I had the WCs set it up as every other row large and then small, so each row had the same size. My friend is holding up one of the small ones. Thanks Leslie!!! I was also thinking of ordering from Oriental Trading, but maybe I'll just order all the small ones from another vendor, they look like the size I was hoping for! My email is [email protected] , Thanks in advance for the Template!!! Really appreciate your help and Congrats again on a beautiful wedding:)

Also, quick question...I'm getting ready to order the palm hand fans and can't decide b/w the mini fans or medium fans. What size is the fan your guest hold in the pic with the program Thanks for your help:)

Congratulations! What a beautiful wedding, all your hard work def. paid off! Would love to know where you got the template for you program and menu, the pink flower detailing matches my theme to a tee!!!

Looks great Erika! Love the image wrapped cover!

For instance, I live in Missouri, and I found ones with and MU Tigers logo on them and I'm using ones with the ST Louis Rams head on them. The ones I saw were 2/$4. Now, as ladies I know we aren't into sports as much as our men, but it's kinda neat to represent where we're from way down in Mexico! This is hilarious! We are going to have MO sports teams covered that week! We bought University of MO Tiger T-shirts for everyone to put in the welcome bags!!! Thought this would be great since we live in Columbia and most who are attending the wedding are either MIZZOU alumni or have a family member who went to school here. Way to represent the Show Me State!!!!!!

Victoria told me you had to have greater than 150 guests to be able to use the Coral Grill, but that must be some kind of new rule because I've seen photos of weddings from this year, with what looked like 30-40 guests having their reception in the Coral Grill.... As far as the difference, The Coral Grill has nicer more modern decor, wood floor vs tile, nicer light fixtures, it's just newer...If you see the pics of the gazebo, to the left is that round topped building just off the Coral beach, that's the grill....

Brooke, looks like an amazing time, the pics are beautiful! Congrats!

I like D, but agree that beautiful dangling earrings would probably be enough
