Valerie is a difficult lady to get in touch with, I agree. She usually responds to my wedding planner back home pretty quickly. We are getting married in January of 2011 I'm nervous that I will be having this much trouble getting in touch with her closer to the wedding date. That is a good idea to have the bouquets as the center pieces too. We are having a private event by the pool with about 40 guests so I was thinking maybe not to have center pieces. Seems like all the extras are really starting to add up. We need to add more chairs as well with ribbons and at 7 a piece it can get costly. Any advice as well I would love to hear as well.

Hi Everyone! So im new to this forum, but I am very grateful I have found it! We are having our wedding at EDR in Jan. of 2011. I am dealing w. Valerie down there and have found my wedding planner through destinationweddings.com has better luck getting a reply from her then I do. Valerie as recently told me though that the La Isla Terrace is not available for private events? is this true? We plan on having 20-30 guest. Any advice or anything that anybody thinks will help this process a little smoother I would really appreciate it. Also, we have picked the gold package and are staying in the Casita Suite, but we do get a category upgrade to an individual casita ( hopefully if Valerie was correct with that). Ok also I would like to have a DJ for our reception, anybody have any info on that? or is there a nightclub in the resort that we can go to after the reception? I am reading all the threads about the photographer situations.... I do not have anybody who is coming that is capable of the pictures I would like. But now I am nervous about choosing one of theirs. Any advice I would love to here... Thanks everyone! Oh and also...we had to put a $200 deposit to hold our date....?? is that right or did we get ripped off??
