I finally talked to Perla and thankfully I did call as she said she never received my emails. She sent me the wedding calculator and now I am thoroughly confused! Wish brides, if I go with that option which I hear is the least expensive if you want to add on, does the arch not come decorated at all? Also, for the rose petal aisle ... will they let me spread my own if I buy a bag of fake ones?? Seems really expensive. I guess I need to put it all in a spreadsheet but not seeing how the Wish vs the other packages are less expensive if you want to have a cocktail hour and dinner. Did anyone do a day after brunch? Any advice?

Kelly, do you mind sharing what the different packages Del Sol offers and cost? I am going back and forth on bringing a photographer with us or just getting one down there. Vent ... My FI doesn't understand why we have to pay for a private dinner when we are at an AI. I get his concern but I told him this is just the way it is ... not thing we can do about that. I told him how I have heard from girls on here that they'll reserve tables for the night before to have a welcome dinner and his response was "Well, if they can do that than why can't they do that for the wedding?" Aghh ... its so frustrating trying to explain it to him. It was so much better when he just nodded and pretended to listen!

We are thinking we'll have 50 so we will try to save the money and brind a Bose system as well. What photographers is everyone using? Sounds like Claudia is popular but expensive.

Ok ... I've now read the first 55 pages ... Whew!! Still have a ways to go but super helpful. Seems like doing the Wish or Fantasy package and adding on is cheaper. I've emailed Perla twice but no response yet. I'm hoping to lock down a date soon! Also, has anyone just used a home docking station for the Ipod instead of paying for the speaker set up? I can't open any of the attachments so if anyone has the banquet menu, excel comparisons, etc., please email me at [email protected]

Brooke, your review and pictures are great! I still have a ton of questions. Can I email you or just post them here?

Wow, you have to fly them in! The reason we are considering a DW is cost but it seems like the more I read about photographers, DJ's, flowers, etc ... it is adding up. Im getting scared!

I am newly engaged and my FI and I are considering a DW and Azul and Paradisus are on our list. Any information you can provide would be helpful. I've emailed them but have not gotten any information yet. We think we would do the aqua or chill out. Any info on the menu options? Ceremony location pictures? If we have above 20 what the cost is? Photographer recommendations and cost? Has the Ipod option worked well and if so do I need to rent speakers? Welcome dinner or reception costs/locations? So many questions! I also can't open attachments so feel free to email me at [email protected] Thanks ladies!
