Didn't find a tiara though - the shop was really low on stock after not reordering following selling loads at a wedding fayre. Also I haven't decided on whether to have a veil or not. Originally I thought I did, and I'm debating not having one now. Just can't decide. Necklace and earring set bought for the wedding day too Shoes found...and they're grogeous. Now I just need to try and make a decision about whether I leave them as they are (cream/ivory) or if I get them dyed fushia pink to match my bouquet and BM dress! I really do want the pink, but the shoes look so pretty as they are I'm scared they won't look as good after! But all in all, a very productive day off work! Hope you're all doing well katie, how FUN!!!!!! My vote, GO PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tiffany (uh oh) sent me all of the paperwork/dinner/ceremony options today and I was immediately overwhelmed so I ran straight here to get some insider info! I'm sure there will be many frustrations down the road, but I'm a really laid-back bride, so I'm just going to try to remember to enjoy my day. I want a big, fun, sassy party for all my friends and family. Anyway, hello from a newbie in Washington State!! I have a feeling I'll be here lots We are so happy to have you! You probably will find alot of information reading through our threads. Feel free to ask away with any questions! Congrats!

Was going to pay for two buses to take everyone into Cancun and maybe VIP service at a club (for the younger guests) but not sure that I'll be able to afford to pay for everyone. Any suggestions?Thanks! Amanda, The activites change throughout the year, with your wedding being in october, I think its to far away to tell. I JUST got mine the week before I left lol, and had asked for it a month prior. I dont remember cooking classes, but Im not for sure... Yoga was everyday and It was free. There were tons of group activites aka excursions available. Some of my guest went shopping in playa de carmen and some went swimming with the dophins. I heard it was $15 per person /per way in a van for playa. Hope this helps.

I have heard its on a reef so it might be rocky in the water and all that. But how did you feel the actual beach was? Thanks!! Ug, The beach wasn't that great. They do a great job of raking it and keeping it up. But I wouldn't plan on spending a day swimming in the ocean..

She did tell me she has a lot of brides she is working with and will respond within 2 days and I can say she has done that. I think she give a lot of conflicting information but even though I don't comment on this site much I read every post on this thread so usually when I ask her a question I've already gotten the answer from a post on this thread. LOL It seems like in your case she started dropping the ball the closer you got to the wedding. I have been saying to myself that the closer I get to the wedding I think I'm going to have to have more telephone and email interaction with her because I want to make sure everything is the way it's supposed to be. Hope everyone uses your situation as an example of what we need to do! Congrats again!!! Thanks Girl! I can only speak for myself when It comes to my planning with her. Im sure it's a case by case thing and Im sending positive thoughts your way with hopes of perfect planning and perfect day!!! I usually didn't comment on here much about the negative stuff either, however now that my wedding in mexico is over, I find it important to share my expirence with you girls so moving forward only great things will come along

Quote: Originally Posted by meghan Thanks so much for the review! So glad you had a great time I have Tiffany....I haven't had any problems yet with her. Should I be expecting problems when I get to the resort? What kind of problems did you have with her? I dont know where to even begin. And im sure shes a great person and shes really nice. She was horrible at getting back to me in a timily manner. But the important things... A week after our final payment was due, i called her because she never confirmed she got payment and we wanted a recipt. When I called her, she claimed she never got payment!! WHAAAT? And this was a week after it was due. I would think it was important that if she didnt get our payment on the due date, she would have called us to tell me? Then she never sent me or told me about wedding registration that is due 30days before your wedding date. I only knew of this from having a phone conversation with andrea 2 weeks before we left .... Then I faxed her all our stuff when I got to mexico, they had no such paper work from tiffany. She said she never got thatl WTF. There are tons of little things, like bio degradable pedals, no arificial and bla bla bla, send me a dj song list the night before I left and asked for a playlist? Should have got that months before so we could work on it, THE NIGHT BEFORE is just flat out wrong. I was packing and busy and hubby was working!!! BUT the biggest thing is that she never told me that my wedding cert was ONLY goin to be in spanish and the states do not accept a spanish cert. it MUST be legally translatted into english which cost an extra $150 and takes 6-7 WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So here i am at home now and cannot go register our marriage because we have to wait for the translation. ;(

Im telln you, the onsite ppl will do anything to make you happy. And I ended up tipping my coordinator alot just for being so great with me.

Quote: Originally Posted by amybermuda Oh shitty! That sucks that some people could not get out of the airports! I had clients stuck here for 2 extra nights b/c Philly was closed. FI's brother (best man) was going to come the day before the wedding, and I told them no way - they have to come at least 2 days before in case anything happens to their flights. Sucks you didnt like your hair! So did you and Andrea see eachother lots? Your weddings were on different days, right? Yay! No rain on your wedding day!!!!!!! Hey Amy Andrea and I saw eachother alot yeah. At mojioto bar and just hangn out by the pool. Then we got a great pic together the day of our wedding, just for you girls Our weddings were the same day, just an hour apart.

OH, I should say one little thing about as spa. I had a 3 hour spa package that was amazing. BUT, my hair style was horrible. I ended up getting refunded and doing my own hair. I just wanted my hair down and loose curls basically. How do you f that up, i dunno... Although Andrea had an updo, kinda a low bun if I remember correctly and it looked great on her and we had the same hair stylist.

Quote: Originally Posted by amandamarieb CONGRATS! So happy for you two and glad to hear that you had a great time. Good to know about Tiffany. She's my WC. Wondering how I can asked to be switched...hmm...maybe just ask my travel agent. Can't wait for the full review and to see pictures. Going to request you on FB. My name is Amanda Brocato. Thanks! No problem Amanda I hate to even have anything negitive to say, But I know I should be honest, and Tiffany messed up ALOTTTT of things. And important legal ones to. Not just alot of little things lol.

Quote: Originally Posted by amybermuda Mrs Amy F ! I have tears in my eyes I am so happy for you. Did you wear your pink crinnolin under your dress? I really want to see pix! How was the weather? Was it windy when you got married? Was it on the beach? Hey Amy, The weather was good. It was mid 80's for the most part. It rained a few times while I was there, but not for that long. And NOT on my wedding day which was all i cared about lol... It was windy on the beach, and especially on our balcony. I did get married on the beach, there is 2 spots, one by the pier and one way down the opposite way. I had the one way on the opposite side. Andrea got married by the pier. I actually had 9 ppl not able to come due to CLOSED AIRPORTS They were flying from washington, NY area and rhode island. Their flights were last Thursday which was in a middle of the snow storm out here, they got 26inches on snow. And the next flight was the that Saturday night and they would have missed my wedding either way... The gazebos space by the pier is for bigger weddings and the one to the right is for smaller.
