Lianne, I chose a dress that was easy to walk in, lightweight not heavy. I tried on some dresses I loved that weren't necessarily poofy but for sure a bit heavy and from my experience visiting Caletas with stairs and sand...I wanted to comfortable. So I say get what you really want but also take into consideration the environment you are in. I still haven't heard from Annie in regards to making the final payment, or about the DJ( I asked her how to get in contact with him to make sure we get our music list to him) and my wedding is March 2nd. I'm assuming that I will hear back at least by next week so as soon as I do I can help answer that question.

LaLa1116, I am bringing them along with me. I'm a little nervous to ship them and from the advice I've read most people just ask friends/family to help out bringing the stuff in extra suitcases. Just make sure you have your receipts in case you get questioned! I did email Annie just to make sure what she thought but haven't heard back yet. Hope that helps...

Forgot one thing! Absolutely get a travel agent!!! It saves you so much precious time. Our travel agent has been amazing! She has worked so hard to get us the best deals. Her name is Rhoda and she works for a company called Continental travel group. In case anyone needs a contact number please feel free to message me.

Hello future LC brides! I am getting married on Friday March 2, 2012...I can't believe it's almost here! Annie is my new wedding coordinator. I too was disappointed to have Kelley leave as I attended a wedding in LC a while back and was confident of her work ethic. However, from what I am reading I am hopeful that Annie will do a good job. So I guess for a destination wedding you could say I am a bit of a rarity when it comes to guest count. Maybe out there somewhere back where I haven't seen there was someone who had a guest count of 110!!!!!! Well, if that that's me! So needless to say it's been quite the task making sure we have everything we want for our special day via email! We had no idea ALL of my Dad's side of the family would want to attend...10 brothers and sisters not to mention cousins! And, majority of our friends! But...it will make for an amazing day that's for sure. Annie is a bit slow responding to emails with an average 2-3 week response. However, I can understand how busy she is. As long as most goes smoothly during mine I'm not going to stress about the small stuff! As I read a few posts back, I too have not made our final payment due to needing a revised contract. Thanks to whomever let us know you can't get money back if people back out last minute...GOOD to know! For the most part we chose some extras but are bringing some decor to save on cost. We are lucky to have our own pastor conduct our ceremony which will make it even more special. We chose turquoise organza chair covers which I see go on the new chairs now? That is if they have enough of them to fit our group. We are doing turquoise runners and a mix of pink and purple petals. Instead of floral centerpieces we are doing 3 vases with submerged flowers(purchased some fake flowers which look incredibly real so that saved us on cost) with floating candles on top and a mix of vases with just floating candles. We hired the DJ which I am super excited to hear that he does a great job! That takes some stress off because the music really sets the mood! Annie is outsourcing our cake which is costing about $700 for the amount of people we have but the fiance wants it! Fire dancers of course! And since my dad's side of the family is from Jalisco we hired our own 13 piece mariachi to play during cocktail hour and into dinner...again...another BIG save on cost. They are very good to allow you to bring your own stuff/people which is one nice thing I can say about having your wedding there. I've received so much helpful information on this website so a big thanks goes out to all of you who take the time to share so much with all of us future brides. I can't wait to marry the man of my dreams and be surrounded by so many loved ones in such an incredible environment! It is truly one of a kind! I will make sure to check in and eventually post a review of my own! Sorry this was so long...whew!

First off your bags are AMAZING! May I ask where you found the big bags with the white handles that you put everything in? Those are great bags! And how much? We have sooo many guests attending our wedding in Puerto Vallarta in March, 120!!! But those bags would be great for my bridesmaids!

I just want to first say thank you to all of you gorgeous women who so kindly take the time after your wedding to post your pictures and feedback. It has been so helpful to read and see it all come together and gives someone like me who is kind of a control freak reassurance!!! My fiance and I will be married there on March 2, 2012 and I can't wait!!!! Our invitations are going out in about a week with an RSVP deadline of December 1st. That will give us enough time to hound a few people who aren't great with sending them back and enough time to start ordering OOt bags and favors. I hope the brides who were getting married close to the hurricane that hit were able to have their dream wedding. I haven't seen anyone post anything in regards to that or the contingency plan?
