My party arrives on the 18th, and my wedding is the 22nd!!! Less than two weeks to go So excited!!!! Where are you from?

Ya, that happened to me also! when they first contacted me to start the planning, they said it was at 4pm, when I had requested and they had previously approved 2pm! Since the sun sets at 5, my photographer suggested no later than three for lighting purposes, but I told them no, I need it at 2 pm, period! and they said okay. It's frustrating having to deal with multiple people giving multiple responses As these other ladies have said, I'm hoping that on the day of, everything comes together and all is good!! I'm getting pretty regular responses now, usually about a week between emails. Did you book through the resort on your own, or through a travel agent? I'm booked through Transat vacations.. There are all these extra costs for little things that are starting to add up, which is also very frustrating! Oh well, comes with the territory I guess

Hi Sarah, I'm getting married on the 22nd I guess I'll see ya there lol the contact address I have is [email protected] .. I know they take quite a while to respond, but to not have had any contact yet seems a little strange!! Hopefully they get back to you soon

I've looked at the resort photographers website www.fotocaribbean.com.x , and lots of the photos don't look very professional (bad lighting, shadows) no editing really or creativity. they are nice pictures but you could basically have someone from your wedding group take your pictures and they'd look the same.. and they're super expensive!! That's my opinion anyway.. I'm pretty big on photograpy though, my pictures are top priority lol And also, I believe the decor you are interested, she brought those with her, I remember reading something about them. I wanted to have the blue sashes for the chairs, but only white fabrics are included (we booked through Transat weddings). they said its $400 pesos (approx $4 canadian) per sash!! So I bought a Lot of 50 from ebay for $25 total..

We booked Dean Sanderson Photography There was another bride on this forum that I was in touch with who recommended him! He does great work.

I'm getting married at 2pm in November, as the sun sets at 5 (our photographer suggested no later than 3 for the best photography light).. I would suggest checking the sunset calendar for the date you're getting married to pick the best time!

Hi ladies! 3 months today, until my big day!!!! so excited!!! I've been corresponding with the co-ordinator, and she just told me that they have no speakers or microphone in the restaurants.. Did any of you use the Italian restaurant for the reception without using a DJ? or if with a DJ was he any good? worth the $650 pesos per hour?

So exciting!! less than 6 months away I'm heading out on the 18th till the 25th, getting married on the 22nd guess we'll be seeing you there lol Happy planning!!

Hey ladies!! I'm getting married at Sirenis in 7 months and 3 days!! I'm so excited, and thanks to this forum, I'm not stressing about the lack of communication with the co-ordinator.. they have replied to the emails I've sent them, but I've stopped sending the hoardes of emails with details and plans because I've realized that they do up to 2 weddings everyday, so with mine being so far away it's low priority.. So thank you guys for starting this forum, it's so helpful!! I check back all the time.. and MKJH, you're pictures are phenomenal!! Love the idea of the thank you card and fan on each chair (I just might have to hijack that one lol) Still deciding on whether to do OOT bags, but yours were also fabulous! I did have a couple of questions though, would you guys recommend doing the rehersal dinner at an a la carte, or just have everyone gather at the buffet? We were there for new years 2011, when my fiance proposed, so we know our way around and know all of the restaurants, just wondering if its more of a hassle to try booking a restaurant for 30 people?? And during the rehersal dinner, is the wedding co-ordinator there going over stuff, or is it basically just a meet and greet dinner with all the guests? Also, is there an option to have centrepieces for each dinner table for the reception, or did you girls bring your own to have set up.. I'd like to just have them done, because I don't want to have to pack down a crap load of extra stuff, especially breakables. Just not sure if the prices are way off the charts or not.. Thanks for your help, and thanks again for the awesome thread!!
