I also wanted to inquire about the food menu for the private reception. They sent me the menu with the options and they all looked fine to me. I was wonering for people that had the private reception which menu choice you picked and what you thought of the food. Thanks Maya Hi everyone! We got married Nov 19, 2009 and had the time of our lives. All our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been too. The service was unreal!! I'm still working on an actual review Just wanted to comment on the DJ service. We brought an ipod and planned to pay for the DJ service during speeches and first dances only then just have them play the ipod to say on the cost (40 vs 100 $ per Hr). However he was doing such a fantastic job that we just asked him to say. He used our ipod and was then able to take requests of songs we had prepared and mixed them really well. We were really happy with keeping him. Just a thought. The decision was easy to make in the moment though after a few toasts haha.

Hi everyone! I can't believe how quickly the time has gone by and now I'm in my final month before the wedding! Quick question...I have a fairly large group coming and am starting to get nervous about the Pure Chill Out holding everyone for dinner. We have 88 booked including us (bride/groom). Any thoughts? The resort is aware of my number and haven't said anything about it not working..just thought I'd ask.

Hi ladies! So my wedding is fast approaching and I don't do much posting but I do a lot of reading and wanted to say thanks for all the info and advice!! Starting to get very excited- Morgan your stuff/pictures have been a blessing! thanks very much. We are having a legal ceremony followed by a private reception at the PCB. We didn't have a choice b/c it looks like we'll have between 80-90 people which I can't even believe. The amount of friends/family joining us is overwhelming and I don't really think it will hit me until I'm there. Quick question to anyone who had a legal ceremony- how much can you add to it to make it a little more personal? We were told we can write our own vows. But what about having an opening/closing read before/after the legal stuff?? 79 days until I'm a Mrs! 61 crazy folks booked!

beautiful pictures hulaqt! Congrats
