HI Ladies- Turks was amazing... Stacey Ann was our coordinator and we LOVED her... The steel pan player was great. We heard alot of great feedback on the Calypso band. They played during the cocktail hour, but we missed most of it taking pictures. The photos came out great. We bought the 200 images on disk for $2000 and I am glad we did that. I just loaded them onto Kodak.com myself and have shared them with all my guests. They are ordering. We had a Welcome Cocktail party and it was amazing. We had the jacuzzi location that they blocked off for us that overlooked the ocean. The appetizers they provided got excellent reviews from everyone.... We had everyone go to Marios for the rehearsal dinner. That worked out! I would highly recommend going to Kimonos for dinner ( they require a reservation, so make one when you get there and ask for the singing chef Nigel... Tell them you are getting married and they will make it happen)!!!!! The couples massage and candlelight dinner are WORTH adding onto your package. We did this our lastnight there and it was perfect! I would HIGHLY recommend bringing OFF for Mosquitos and sand fleas... Trust me people were bit.. They sell it at their stores but its more money. I put aloe care in every welcome bag and it came in handy..... I hope this helps.. I am so excited for all of you Kendra

Hi Kim- We just booked them both. We wanted an Island feel, so we went with it... I am sure they will be great. One thing we changed was the reception. We decided to not book the DJ and bring our Ipod playlist with Portable speakers. We found a great one and the sound is amazing.. We are also giving mini rum bottles as favors since everyone will be partying. We didnt think the traditional type of favors would make it back to there rooms. LOL... I also went with some ala carte items... We didnt pick a theme package. I bought a bouquet from one package, the frame from another package, went with the beautiful beginnings package for the tables. We have 39 people total now. How many will you have at your wedding? The weather isnt looking great come Friday, but it should clear next Thursday, April 7th. We are getting married on Friday, April 8th. We moved the date to a Friday so our guests could enjoy there weekend on the Island I hope this helps. Feel free to ask any questions. We will be back on 4/18. Kendra

Hi Ladies- My name is Kendra and we are getting married at Beaches in Turks and Caicos on April 8th, 2011. I wish I would have found you all sooner. Hopefully, a few of us will have some tips to share with you once we get back. I booked the 3 hour reception with the photography package, steel pan player (ceremony), calypso band (cocktail hour), but we decided to bring IPOD with speakers versus a dj for the rest. I just bought the Logitech one and its AMAZING... Happy Planning... Final task is the welcome bag letters... I found some great ideas on this website. Kendra

Hi Brandy- I am so excited for you. I wish I joined this group a while ago. I am getting married at Beaches in Turks and Caicos on Friday, April 8th. I land on Monday, April 4th. I hope you have a fabulous wedding... Maybe we will meet you there. Kendra
