I think the consensus is, so long as the photographer is staying overnight at the resort, MP doesn't seem to mind. I think the rub would be if I hired a photographer from MX and they had just a day pass--might be more blatantly competing with their onsite photographers. Either way, they have no way to prove your photogapher isn't just your guest, so I'm not too worried about it.
Btw, i took cutierosie's idea/advice and typed up a word document with all of my questions and comments, broken out by event (welcome dinner, cocktail hour, reception, etc) and listed out in detail what I wanted or what I needed more clarification on. I listed out our menu (I mixed and matched from the options), pasted pictures of the bouquet and centerpieces I wanted, etc. I'll be sure to print this document out and have it with me when I meet with my WC. I'm also creating a binder where I'll put the word document, receipts and emails from certain vendors we've hired and all email correspondence with the resort as back-up.
We're going with the DJ--Alejandro. We were able to negotiate. There's always room to do that I've learned! We're doing the 4 hour package with slideshow. We figured we wanted a bit of the traditional wedding feel--best man and matron of honor speeches, possibly even the DJ announcing us and the bridal party and then the music responsibility left up to someone else. He assured us that guests can make requests and that he'd feel out the "crowd".
Thank you very much for your advice. I didnt do that with the word documnet but i have every email she sent me saved so i'm just bringing my labtp with me casue we have went back and forth so much i wouldnt even kn ow where to begin! But that would be awesome if you could share that document with us although i cant open attachments yet my email is
