Fellow Destination Brides,

First, congratulations! Having just returned from my March 12, 2011 wedding in Cabo, I totally understand the stress that goes into planning a destination wedding. In the months leading up to my wedding, I was a frequent lurker on these boards. Much of what I read was very helpful, but some of it scared the daylights out of me!

Luckily, I hired Katie Thompson to "plan and execute" my wedding. This was hands down the best decision I made. She promptly responded to all of my questions/issues, and believe me, I had a lot of them. I'm an attorney, so I tend to over analyze everything.

Katie never got frustrated with me. Instead, she provided me with all of the information that I needed to make the right decisions.

In fact, my wedding day was so easy, that all I had to do was show up in my room at 1 pm for my hair and make up session. Once that was completed, I jumped in a cab with my family and bridesmaids and we met up with Katie at Sunset da Mona Lisa for the ceremony and reception.

We arrived about 1 hour before the ceremony was scheduled to start, so I expected to see Katie running around like a chicken with her head cut off (we had added 4 additional guests at 11 am that morning, necessitating rearrangement of the tables, etc.). Instead, Katie met me on Sunset da Mona Lisa's terrace, completely calm and composed. Everything had already been taken care of, so she showed me around and asked if I needed anything.

The set up was truly beautiful. The flowers surpassed my expectations and the setup was exactly as I had imagined it. I am so thankful to both Katie and David of Sunset da Mona Lisa for making this the best day ever.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Best Wishes,

Claire

Hi,

I just returned from my March 2011 wedding in Cabo. We used Katie Thompson of Dazzle 'em and she was FANTASTIC. Seriously, the whole experience couldn't have been more fun or more perfect. Katie is very detail oriented and always responded to my questions within a couple of hours. She even gave me a heads up each time she was going out of town! I'm still waiting for pictures, which I will post once I receive them, but please feel free to contact me if you want more information.

Hi,

Congratulations! I am using Katie Thompson of Dazzle 'em Event Design, http://dazzleem.com/pages/whatIoffer.html, and she's been awesome!!  My wedding is just over 4 weeks away, and Katie has been so responsive, I feel like I should have paid her twice what I paid.  Her rates are on the link I sent above.  I'm happy to answer any questions you might have.

Thanks for the list - very helpful. Next, we need someone to fill in the websites where one can find those items (ideally, inexpensively!). 

Anna2912,

 

Did you receive any type of response to this post?  I'm also staying at CD, although I'm getting married at Sunset Da Mona Lisa, and am curious about Mango Deck's proximity to the hotel, along with any other details.

 

Thanks!

 

Claire
