Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed looking at them. Great pics!!

I agree. It's a great place. You couldn't go wrong with the Hilton.

Check out what I said on this link (Patti) http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...dinator-53896/ I just had my wedding in December at the Hilton and was very happy with my vendors. If you haven't signed your contract yet, I would suggest you call or email Tathiana Pinotti and ask her about the vendors. She was my WC.

I just got married at the Hilton Los Cabos and was very pleased with Tathiana, my WC. She was very responsive to my emails and phone calls. There were just a couple of things that were different than what I had requested but it didn't end up being a big deal for me and had I have followed up by asking for a revised BEO, there probably wouldn't have been a problem at all. I got married on the Black Marlin Terrace and had requested an arch. The BEO said a Chuppa. I scratched it out and replaced it with an arch and wrote her an email to tell her what I wanted and she agreed, however, had I asked for a revised BEO, I'm sure it would have been taken care of. It didn't bother me because it was beautiful. I plan meetings for work and see this happen all the time. The catering mgr. agrees to things via email but forgets to change them on the BEO and the staff isn't aware of the changes. Bottom line - always get exactly what you want in writing on the contract/ Banquest Event Order. We had our dinner at the Fenecia restaurant and I had changed up the appetizer menu, which she agreed could be done, but when we received the appetizers, it was the same as the original menu. Once again, no problem, as it was all delicious. WC would have arranged everything on her own, however, I requested Marco for the minister and it just worked out the they use him anyway. He kept in contact with me to see what we wanted. ie did we want our own vows, he sent us some to choose from or to help us with our own, etc. I felt as if I had known him for years - and have to agree with the other brides on this forum, that you couldn't go wrong with him. I had requested Alonso Aguirre for my solo guitarist, as I had heard him before. He plays during breakfast time at the Hilton, which makes a very pleasant breakfast. My FI had emailed him a play list but never got a response, but WC had asked us to copy her in the email so she could stay on top of things and follow-up, which she did - and he played everything we requested. I walked down to Canon in D and he did a beautiful job. Also, "the way you look tonight" was great. I highly recommend him. WC suggested several different florists and I chose Mazarte Florals, based on reviews on this Forum, which was also on her list. I sent WC a picture of what I would like my bouquet to look like and it was identical. I couldn't have been more pleased, especially since I was never in contact with the florist. WC suggested several different photographers and I chose Dino Gomez (from her list) and once again, I was very pleased. Before we left the property, a CD was left in our room. On the CD were our pictures and a slide show he had put together with "Unforgetable" playing in the background. WC dealt directly with Dino for me. The only person I dealt with directly was Jennifer Hatton. She made the wedding cake. I would have used the Hilton's chef, but their price was too high for what I wanted. WC had no problem at all with me using an outside vendor. My cake was beautiful and was exactly what I wanted. I had sent her a picture, as well. And, on top of that, it was delicious. We had our Welcome dinner at Edith's in Cabo. I had eaten there several times before and it is a personal favorite. It's quite costly, but we had a small group of 11 - and is well worth it. I highly recommend going there - even if it's just the 2 of you. I made my reservation via email and Jose Bahena was very responsive. I had to change the time and he got right back to me. In addition, I wanted a special birthday cake delivered to the restaurant and presented to my FI after dinner as a surprise. It went off perfectly. They did want $40 for a cutting fee, however, when the baker found that out, she reduced her delivery charge for me. I used Deena, with Sweet Dreams, to make that cake. She was a little less than Jennifer Hatton. However, both cakes were delicious, and both ladies were great to work with. The morning after the wedding, we took our guests on a snorkeling excursion. I chose a boat/company that I had been on several times before and had a blast each time. It's called the SunRider Tours. I emailed them and got a response from "Mario" right away. He offered me a discounted rate from what they normally charge but later, I saw on their website, they were offering that rate anyway as a "December" special. I didn't confirm ahead of time, not knowing if it would be too cool for snorkeling, but when we arrived, we saw that it was fine to go. I emailed him once I got there and asked if he would except a rate that was a little less than what he offered me and he did. Once again, we all had a blast - and even got to see whales!! We used a transportation company called Lifestyle. They were great - professional and friendly. I had not heard of them before, but somehow had gotten on their email list and I've received newsletters from them for several years. I have planned business mtgs. there before and had always used the same company, however, they were the most expensive and were not willing to negotiate. Lifestyle were willing, therefore, they got the job. We had no problem with them at all and would recommend them. Another thing I liked about them, versus the company I had used for business, is that they accepted payment by credit card and the other company was wire transfer only. That was ok when it was for my company, but I felt better using a credit card for a company I had not heard of before on a personal basis. They sent an authorization form before hand and we were able to set it all up. Even though we just used them for roundtrip airport transfers, they were willing to work with us on trips into town by using credit cards, as well, but we just ended up taking taxis. We ate dinner at Mi Casa one of the nights we were there. In fact, we actually went back a second time. You know how us Texans like Mexican food. lol I know this is pretty long for such a simple question that you asked - but I hope it helped you some. Don't hesitate to contact me if I can help any further.

Have you ordered anything from Visaprint.com? I got postcards made up from them (free) and thought they turned out pretty cute. I punched a hole in one of the corners and tied it to the bag with a ribbon. You can see them here under Gifts, Registry and OOT . Hopefully, this link will work for you. If not, it's called Patti's oot bags with pics. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...gs-pics-53272/

Thanks, Poohshek - and congrautlations to you too!!

Great review, Autumn. My daughter got married in PV 4 years ago. The wedding was actually at LeKliff, but we all stayed at Dreams and had a pretty good time. We had a private welcome dinner set up by one of the pools which was pretty nice. Sorry about the things that went wrong, but glad that the over-all experience was good. You looked beautiful!! Congratulations. (btw - I still haven't seen your pics on picasa. When I get on, it asks for an email address and password and I don't see where I can log on with the username you gave me. Let me know what I'm doing wrong - as I would love to see your pics.)

I used Marco, as well, and can't say enough how wonderful he was. I requested him because of what I've read about him on this Forum. I also, have a friend that got certified online. But, to answer your question, you'll probably be better off by getting it confirmed with your WC.

Dress on model. Close-up view on model. Front view on me. Back view on me. The dress came down too low in the back, for me, so the seamstress made that part that is draping. It is just sewn in at the top at each shoulder and there is a snap at the bottom to hold it in place. If anyone is interested, let me know and we'll discuss $$$. It might also be a good TTD, if anyone cares for this style.

Thanks, Ladies. Guess I'll go ahead and post it.

I was just wondering if anyone would buy a dress without trying it on. I'm thinking about selling mine.

Hope you have a wonderful trip and wedding!!!

Congratulations and welcome to the forum. I've been to that Hilton several times and have seen the chapel, but have not actually been inside. It looks really pretty, but I do not recall it having a view of the ocean. Keep in mind that this property is huge and there are always a LOT of people there, especially at the pool and waiting to be seated at restaurants. Don't get me wrong - it's a very nice property - if you don't mind a lot of people.

I'm sorry to say that I don't know about Dreams, however, if you have your choice, I could highly recommend Mazarte Floral. I never was in contact with them, but I sent my WC at the Hilton a picture of what I wanted and I have to say, it was a very close match. I was very impressed. Check out my inspiration picture and what I actually got. Inspiration Actual

Sorry, the ebay link didn't work. Try this one. 10 Vertical Vinyl ID Card Badge Holders w/ Zip Zipper - eBay (item 290361056713 end time Jan-16-10 06:55:03 PST) You could probably search a little bit and find one that is all clear - without the red line.

Thank you, Ladies. For those who asked questions, the pashminas came from Wholesale Pashmina Scarves wholesale pashmina scarves. They were $3.95 each. The website says you have to order at least 12, however, I emailed them and they were kind enough to sell me just the 6 that I needed. After I received them, I needed one more and they sent it to me with no problems. Their customer service was awesome. I was very pleased dealing with Joseph. I ordered the key holders off of ebay for $5.00 for ten at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...233019&guest=1 The only thing I did not like about them is that they had a red line on them (where they seal up). I've seen other ones that brides have used that were all clear. I got the coil bracelets from Oriental Trading Company at Whistle Expando Bracelet Key Chains I hope this helps y'all.

We also assembled them once we arrived at the hotel. We met our guests at the front desk when they arrived and gave their bags to them at that time.

Your bags look great. Good job!!!

Your dress is beautiful and so are you!! Good luck with your wedding and we're all looking forward to seeing your pictures when you return.

Congratulations, Heather - and welcome to the Forum. You'll find tons of info on this forum, especially the Cabo forum. My wedding was in Cabo, just 2 weeks ago today. It's my favorite place in Mexico. I've been there quite a few times, so if there is anything I can help you with, don't hesitate to contact me. Good luck with your planning.

Here's mine.

My daughter got married in PV and her officiant was great. We thought he had a southern accent. Come to find out, he was from Dallas. Can't think of his name right now, but if I find out, I'll let you know.

Where are you getting married, Jenna - and how many guests do you plan to have? I got married 2 weeks ago today in Cabo. We chose the Hilton for our location. We've been there many times before but one of the reasons I like it so much is because it seems small and intimate compared to the all-inclusive resorts. We had 11 guests and some in their 50's, 60's, 70's and even my 85 year old mother. Only one couple were in their 30's. Not sure where you're getting married but it seems to me that the majority of the all-inclusive resorts are just huge and you have to walk a lot, like you said. If you're not having too many guests, maybe a resort that is not all-inclusive would be smaller. Also, some resorts have golf carts to help people get around.

They look great!! Thanks for sharing.

i bought beach bags from Walmart for $5 at the end of the summer for my wedding. I didn't personalize them, however, I had our wedding location and date embroidered on our beach towels. Everyone seemed to like them.
