Hey Ladies, I was married there in September! It was the perfect wedding! I purchased the smallest package as I really wasnt concerned with all the details, since its already beautiful there! I would not have done it any different. We did not do any of the private parties etc... We still had to pay per person at the restaurant, which was the only extra cost. The flowers were amazing, Candy was amazing, even though she seems to be not that great in the begining, she knows what she is doing. I would be happy to share pics and answer and questions from my opinion... I'm going to try and share pics, but if I cant figure it out, feel free to email me at bclandrovergirl2@hotmail.com Cheers

I love these.... Finally something everyone can and will use!!

Ladies all this info is so helpful its not even funny! I also really appriciate the photos, I went from being nervous to really excited, it also seems that once Candy starts to focus on you all is well! I'm also not sure what to do about gifts for everyone, I can't seem to make up my mind. Once I do I will let you all know, but in the meantime if anyone comes up with anything let me know! At this point I think that is all I have to do besides the photographer, which I think we have pretty much decided... Where does the time go? I thought I had forever and now its 3 months away! AHHH!

Hey Gals! I have not been on here for a while, I also have done nothing and now there are only 4 months left! I really need to hire a photographer.... Any thoughts? Also can anyone give me any tips on what I should be doing here before I go? I have done nothing other than pick my package and dress! The last year just flew by and now I'm nervous! LOL!

YES! Thank you Jojo and EVERYONE, you have no idea how great you all are! I feel so much better because of all of you!

I would love to see pictures of the flowers, everything at this point would be great! Pictures of everything!!! bclandrovergirl2@hotmail.com

Can anyone tell me when I should start working with Candy, and if she will send me everything I need to actually plan the day? I'm not sure when I should start actually making plans. Also I would love to hear about photographers, as we need to get on that for sure! With the weather here in Vancouver right now, September can't come soon enough!

It looks as though the prices have changed.... I'm not sure if that means we all have to pay up, or just people who have not paid for the packages? It's so hard getting anything from the resort, so anything extra would be very helpful! I was quoted $10.00, for the cocktail reception, however that may have now changed? Ahhh....

Hey guys, We are getting married here first (secretly) then having the ceremony down there, I didn't want to worry about being there three days etc, however.... I have had a lot of friends get married there and its totally fine, you just have to be there three days, and not all resorts require the blood work, but if they do, its totally fine. Also my TA got us $1485CDN taxes, transfers, EVERYTHING in, the price is going up and that was a group rate, but she has been the best TA I have ever had.... If you want more info email me at bclandrovergirl2@hotmail.com and I will forward you all her info!

Hey, As far as everyone booking my TA in Nanaimo is AMAZING, she has helped everyone. Most of the people who booked, booked on the charter flight as our price WAS amazing, however it has gone up, but she helped everyone, including my mom who booked with airmiles, and then neggotiated a deal through the hotel. I have a guest coming from Calgary and 3 from Sask, and she was able to take care of all of them. I planned the one package, and then everyone else is on there own, but a few did go different routes, all through the same TA though. If people are booking flights seperate, they have to call the hotel on their own.

I would love to get some pictures... bclandrovergirl2@hotmail.com

Yes this drug stuff is very scary, I saw it on the local news the other night, their travel expert guy said that he would still travel, but to make sure you tell your guests to stay in the resort at night and for woman to never leave alone and a group of two is too small. We just have to be smart, I live in Vancouver and all of a sudden we have a major drug war here?? However you still live your life and do the things you always do, you are just a little more careful. Mexico will be awesome! I can't wait to hear about the site visit.

pribzl.... You need to call the resort and talk to them about the prices... I'm not sure how you booked, but we were able to get a much cheaper rate for some of our guests, the ones that booked through an agent paid more, but the few that are flying down on their own all got good rates, they were all different, however still less than what your guests are paying. It always works like this everywhere you go, I travel more than I would like to think I do, and I can go to the same place everyweekend and get a different quote from a different person everytime.... Give them a call and talk to a manager!

Jojo... I got a response from this person right away, they seem good and professional. sascha@cancunphotos.net

This forum is wonderful, thank you everyone! I would be so freaked if I didn't have you guys! My friends who were just married there celebrated with the other guests, so they made a reso in the restaurant, but did not make it private, so they didn't have to pay the extra, and said it was awesome, at that point everyone is your friend, plus people tend to keep to themselves, they also brought their Ipod and portable stereo and used that for the wedding music. Just a few ideas.... I can't wait to get more info from anyone and tips on what to make sure I do when I get there. Christina
