Thank you! Do you know how much each bride pays for his travel costs on average?? I couldn't find any specifics on his website but will keep looking. I have tried reaching out to him but haven't heard back yet. I hope he is not booked already. His work looks amazing!!!
Any additional information you have on his prices/work please let me know!
Thanks!! -
Thanks ladies!! I absolutely LOVE this forum. It has been so helpful! I am going to look into ordering from Shavon's now as well. Please post when you get your flowers so we know how they turned out. Her photos look really nice on her website. Has anyone used her dyed flowers option?
Thanks again!!

Yay! I am so excited I found this thread!! We are going to order from here now as well. Thanks Foxy!

We hired Photophil (Steingard Studios) to do our pictures, Florian from wedding video punta cana for our video, and pastor york to do our ceremony! We are almost at 6 months so I can't wait to get there and get married! I also am using a vendor from on here plumeriasweddingflowerboutique to do my flowers since the majestic charges alot for flowers and I didn't like the quality or the fact that they wouldn't guarantee flower options. Goodluck with your planning and if you need anything keep posting!
Hi MexicoBeachBride2010,
I just looked up Steingard Studios and there work looks amazing! Are they based out of Ontario? Are you flying the photographer in for your wedding then? Was it expensive?? PM me if you get a sec.
Thanks!! -

Hi! Thank you so much for sharing!! Have you seen the work of Florian or Photophil? I agree with the flowers, I am considering putting centerpieces and my bridesmaids flowers together before we go and having each person responsible for their own. I think I can do it MUCH cheaper this way and know exactly what I am getting. I read somewhere that one of the girls went to a market nearby. Did you happen to go on your visit? I was hoping to use some of the items from the market in my OOT bags to avoid packing as much as possible but wasn't sure what they sold their exactly! If you have any info on this as well I would love to hear about it!!
Thanks!! -
This is extremely useful!! thanks!

I was wondering...it appears to me most of the ladies got married or will get married on the Colonial side; and a handful have chosen the Elegance side...
I will be on the Elegance on May 14, 2010.
I noted the following ladies are at the Elegance, any one else?
@cforrer1
@andime85
@greg+kat
@JohnsonBengel09
@soontobeMRSV
Ladies above, would you mind sharing your pictures? Did anyone choose to get married at the Gazebo? or the Chapel?
Please feel free to PM me or contact me at [email protected]
Hope to hear from you!
Hi CnC,
I will be at the Elegance on May 19, 2010! Feel free to pass on any information you get regarding the Elegance from former brides ([email protected]). I have found that most brides on here have chosen the Colonial side as well. Hopefully I made the right decision... it just felt more my style. Did you do a site visit? Have you decided on a photographer? So many things to do and think about!!!! -

Hi Everyone! We just set our date for May 19, 2010 at 5 pm for the Majestic Elegance. I am so excited!! Does anyone have their photographer picked out yet? I am debating whether we should look into flying someone in or hire someone local. Obviously flying someone in would be much pricier so hopefully we can find a great photographer in the area. I tried doing a google search but was only able to find destination wedding photographers. Any thoughts/suggestions please let me know on what you have decided to do!! Or if anyone who is getting married close to our date wants to split flying in a local photographer I am up to discussing that option as well!!! In the meantime I will search this forum for ideas!
Thanks! -

Hi Everyone,
I just came across this resort this morning and it is absolutely amazing!! I have been struggling trying to find a nice resort that is not too expensive for my guests and is still what I am looking for. I have been going through this thread for a couple hours now (not sure I will ever make it through the entire thing:)) and I want to say thanks for all of the great info! I emailed the resort to request a wedding date so hopefully I should be able to hear from them soon. Any suggestions/recommendations on first steps please let me know. In the meantime I will keep going through this forum. Oh - so I am confused about how to open attachments?? Do you have to be a member for a certain amount of time
Or have a number of posts?? Also, if anyone has the costs for the wedding packages in the meantime and can shoot me an email I would really appreciate it. I found it on here a couple times but they were all attachments. Hopefully I will be having my wedding here!! What a long journey searching for resorts thus far! Thanks ladies

What is the website address? Thanks!Quote:

Have fun! -

I largely modeled my booklet after hers, tweaking and adding things specific to Majestic Colonial, etc. I tried searching for her name to properly acknowledge her, but couldn't find it.
I used a three-hole punch and tied the booklet together with ribbons to make it look really cute :-) That's about as fancy as I could get with this, since I work full-time and go to law school in the evenings! I mailed the booklets out last week, a little more than a month before we all leave.
Hopefully it will help someone!!

Hi Mel,
Can you email me a copy of your attachment? For some reason I have limited access on this forum (perhaps because I have only been on here a handful of times). Thanks so much!!!

Hi, I am contemplating getting married at Majestic Elegance in May 2010. I was looking at the reception prices and almost decided to stay home and elope! We are looking to have around 60 guests+. I noticed some of you mentioned a free dinner at one of the restaurants and a reception else where? Also, for the open bar,is the price per hour or a flat fee for each guest? Any info you have on this would be EXTREMELY helpful! Thanks ladies!!

The service is top notch, the grounds are gorgeous, the executive chef is an amazing man, and you can't beat the deals we get to indulge in pure luxury. And no kids, the icing on the cake!!!!! ( I'm a teacher!) We witnessed many weddings while we were there at both the gazebo and beach and they were so beautiful! I will be spending 3 weeks at Excellence so I'm sure I'll see more weddings after mine!!!
Theresa I would love to talk to you about how your wedding was. How many people did you have there? And did you get married on the beach or gazebo? Where was your cocktail hr/reception?
Ana is my wedding coordinator and she has gone above and beyond what I ever would have expected from a wedding coordinator. She is such a sweet person and she just got engaged herself!!!
We are having our ceremony on the beach, the cocktail hour at Agave (open air restaurant) and back to the beach for the reception! I highly recommend this. We attended the beach party several times across the two times we were there and it was exactly what I dreamed my reception would be, very untraditional, modern, and beachy!!! We have about 40 people traveling with us so far and we can't wait for them to experience Excellence!!
Any questions about the resort and/or planning the wedding are welcome!
I am looking to get married at the Excellence. I thought it was a family friendly resort Anyone know or is just the Colonial? Also, can guest stay at either and still attend our wedding at the Excellence? I think the colonial may be more budget friendly for large families traveling with us. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks ladies!

Great, thanks!Quote:

I am looking for a Melissa Sweet Mila gown in a 0,2 or 4 if anyone has one they would like to sell! I am willing to purchase for $1500. Thanks!!

I am thinking about reserving the wedding date and booking the hotel stay in a few months when prices go down. I'm not sure if this is the best way to go though.
Prices quoted by my TA for Dreams Tulum, Dreams Cancun, and Azul for June/July 2010 attached.
I can't seem to open up your attachment. Can you email it to me? I am new on here so I'm not sure if I am not doing something right It said I do not have access... I too am considering Azul but the prices seemed really high. Actually all of the prices for my guest from my TA seemed high. But unlike everyone else she didn't tell me that the prices should drop. So good to know! I just wish I knew by how much so I could make a decision.

Hi Everyone! I just stumbled across this forum during my LONG hours of DW planning. It seems as though it has helped a lot of soon to be brides so I am really excited to be on here. Hopefully it will help in trying to make a location decision!! Any suggestions on a nice/trendy family friendly mexico (or Dominican) location that will not be too expensive for our guests is greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

Any suggestions on getting ahold of this company? I tried through the website but wasn't sure if there is a contact on this forum somewhere? I tried searching but had no luck. Perhaps some one can shed some light... I am probably not searching correctly?? Thanks!!
