Hi February brides

I am just starting my planning and considering February 2012... you all have to post updates after your weddings as to how it went!! I am a little bit concerned about Spring Break starting in February - let us know how the hotels were in terms of guests and busy-ness Hope all is going well and congrats!

Hi there,

Does anyone have any recommendations on travel agencies in the Mississauga area? I'm just starting my planning but it'd be great to know who's good and who to stay away from! Thanks!!

Hi ladies,

My name is Alex, I am just starting to plan my destination wedding and have not yet decided on a location... I want an AI resort which my guests can book for under $1400 ideally.... I want a gazebo wedding and a beach reception.... that's all I know for now

I'm trying to figure out the requirements and all that for different countries and Costa Rica seems a bit more difficult than the Domincan Republic, but I'm not sure... why did you choose Costa Rica?? Or better yet, how did you narrow it down?! Thanks for any help!!

I'm trying to figure out the requirements and all that for different countries and Mexico seems a bit more difficult than the Domincan Republic, but I'm not sure... why did you choose Mexico?? Or better yet, how did you narrow it down?! Thanks for any help!!

Hi everyone,

I am just starting to do some very general planning and I think I've decided on the Dominican, but I'm not 100% sure. So I was wondering, why did you choose the Domincan? What's good about it versus the other options, like Mexico or Aruba or others? From my research so far, it looks like the Dominican may be the easiest place to get married in terms of requirements. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Thank you, that helps a lot

Well, in terms of the wedding dress, jewellery, hair, make up, I know what those costs will be. But I am wondering what resorts charge for the actual wedding.

What I do know is the following...

- I want a beach or gazebo ceremony

- I want the reception to be private, not in a restaurant with other vacationers

- I want to rent a sound system but will bring my own music

- I want an open bar (from what I understand, this is ridiculously expensive considering we are at an AI resort... but oh well...)

- I want (if possible) to extend the timing of the reception... I know that some resorts give you the reception for 4 hours or something like that, I don't want to be limited like that if at all possible

- I will probably find my own photographer instead of using the resort, as many pictures I have seen taken by resort photographers are a bit cheesy, although I haven't looked that hard yet so I may be wrong...

Again, I know this is asking a lot, but I am just wondering what ballpark I am in for this.... $10,000... $20,000... $30,000??? I have NO clue right now Thanks again!!

Hi everyone,

I am a brand new member here, just starting to think about my destination wedding, hopefully sometime next February, one year away. So, I have not yet chosen a hotel, but I do think the Dominican seems like the easiest place to get married, based on requirements and all that.

Anyway, I would love it if someone could give me a very general idea of what these weddings cost. I am hoping to have a group of approximately 50 people, at a nice resort, for example Majestic Elegance or Melia.... 5 star hopefully. I am not sure if you need more information before you can give me some estimates, but I'd really appreciate any help at this point.

Thanks so much, I'm excited to have found this website!

I also get this error, I was trying to post in the Domincan Republic forum. I am using a Dell Laptop with Windows XP. Hope this gets fixed quickly!!!
