Thanks for the advice! In the last 2 weeks EVERYTHING has changed....and the new wedding date is Friday, April 8th 2011!!! (Orginally we were thinking November 2011, but the future hubby's brothers are also getting married this year...and the end of the year won't work). That being said, we're doing a 3pm wedding at Gazebo 55 (We went and did a site visit the weekend of Dec. 11th and LOVED IT!) How are the wedding coordinators about bringing your own items? We plan to bring our own sand ceremony kit, sand, fans, programs and mini maracas for the ceremony. For the reception we have these little diamonds we want scattered on the tables, as well as pink jellybeans! Would love to get an idea on what your pricing was like. We're currently working with Valeria, and she seems quite responsive. I hope that continues!!! Thanks girls for all the input and support. ps- i still haven't gone dress shopping and that is one thing that is stressing me out like crazy!!!!
