    Ooh, that's awesome!! How exciting! I wish I could do a site visit. Those two are my top two choices, but have no idea which to choose - both seem awesome, so I'll be very interested in hearing your thoughts/opinions about everything and which you would choose and why!

     

    If you could get some pictures of the Sapphire's reception options, that would be great. All the wedding set-ups I've seen for the Sapphire have the dinner/dance on a covered open-air terrace with the beach wedding just steps away, but was wondering about having a beach or pool-side reception, or inside options (like how the Jade has the bamboo room..). Same thing for the cocktail hour: where can you have that set up - right on the beach or just up in the terrace? Maybe also ask about what the back-up rain plan is?

     

    Also, if you could ask about and/or get pictures of what they have for standard decorations down there, and find out about the set-up fees if any? Not sure so I'd want to haul a lot down if they have a decent amount of things there to use.
     

    Thank you soooo much for being willing to get the pictures and answers! It's hard to decide and plan some things without seeing the options and set-up! Have a great trip!

    Hi everyone, 

    I'm visiting NOW Sapphire (and NOW Jade) this weekend so let me know if there's anything you want pictures of or any specific questions I can (try!) to ask. We are staying at Sapphire for one night and Jade for two nights. I'm soooooooo excited!!

    Baezas,

    Hm, that's strange it won't let you PM me. Well this is my first time trying to add an image, so let me know if it doesn't work!

     

    Below is the picture that Elena sent me. She said "I attach a photo where you can see the white tent and the bamboo on the back of the altar. It costs about 250usd and it can be fixed on the back of the altar."

    Kind of confused me a little bit -- not sure if they would put up the tent AND the bamboo thing like in the pic or if they would set up just the bamboo structure. Guess that's another thing to follow up on with her..

    Thanks for the answers! The more and more I look at things, the more I think that my idea of a $10K total isn't really going to happen! A girl (and her checking account) can dream though, right?!  lol

     

    Weddings aren't so expensive where I live, so it's hard to spend for me to so much on a DW since it's not saving me anything, but it's always been my dream to be married on a beach, so whatever.. We'll make it work! wink.gif

     

    btw, see you're from Charlotte.. my grandpa lives there (well suburb at least). Love that city!! Wish I could visit more often

     

    Ah, yes, tipping.. I'll be sure to budget that into things, too. Thanks!!

    Hi Angie,

    Hope this isn't too personal for questions, but I think I would have a group right around 40 ppl, so close to what you had.. You said you were under $10K easily, but I was wondering what all you included in that number? I'd like my total budget to be at $10K, including photography, travel, wedding dress, gifts, AHR, etc. Would you mind letting me know what your final price for the resort was (i.e. ceremony, dinner reception, dance, etc)? Maybe my numbers are just unrealistic!! It just seems there are so many 'extra' fees, that I'm finding it hard to compare resorts! Feel free to PM me if you would rather not post that..

     

    Few other questions -- how much was it to have DJ Ivan come in, and how much for the lighted dance floor? Any outside vendor fees have to be paid for that? Any hassle with having an external DJ?

     

    Congrats and thanks for posting your pictures! Sorry to hear that you had issues with the weather and a number of your guests weren't able to attend sad.gif Looks like everything turned out beautifully though! You looked great!! Can't wait to see more pics!

    Haha, fighting about the flip-flops? Too funny!


    So frustrating how my FH will say he doesn't care about the details as long as I'm happy with the choices, but then out of nowhere he'll insist on having some silly random detail exactly his way. Guess guys are just weird that way..
