My DIY thread. Will do review soon. I can't see my own pics..did I do it wrong? http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/81309/my-wedding-diy-sweatshop-pic-heavy-july-2012-now-jade#post_1801958 cheerios

Thanks!!! Can you see the pictures??? LOL..I cannot see them..I thought maybe I'm doing something wrong? Yes, I designed it with help too from a good friend of mine I love the vw van:)

Okay, I don't know if I'm doing this right??? LOL first aid kits for grown ups boo boo kits for kiddos tequila favors welcome bag. i forgot to take a picture of the spanish for dummies book:P My favorite DIY item..My felt balls!! Such a pain to make but so beautiful, they were my canopy decor, my table decor, and my bridesmaid bouquet!! I LOVE THEM! My wedding programs,illustration by my 7year old son:) found little vw charms to hang on the programs:) Menus and straw flags Cake Topper: My groom is holding a heineken:P Welcome brochure I guess this is it..not sure if I left out anything:)

we had fireworks and it was worth every penny, everyone was so happy and surprised!! It really was beautiful!! The fire dancers they have a show every week, so depending on which day your wedding is, your guests might have already seen it.. I dont have pics of the fireworks now..will post when I get it:) Oh btw, after u get the basic package for the fireworks..the add ons for cold fireworks at the ceremony are super cheap because you dont have to pay for the permits again...we had 6 cold ones when we kissed at ceremony..its really pretty!! Cheerios

I just had my wedding on 21 July!! Pilar and her team was awesome, they are so much more flexible with swapping stuff when you get there. They replicated the flowers I wanted exactly like the picture I gave them. The canopy was set up to exactly what I have visioned. We only talked about it and drew pictures of it at the meeting. Dalel was perfect!! She did such a wonderful job and even went out of her way to help me with certain stuff..room problems with guests,etc..We only booked the Governor Suite(beautiful view and huge!) for 2 days, and they ended up giving it to me with no extra charge for the rest of our stay. Very sweet of them as it is such a pain to switch rooms when you have so much wedding stuff. Also maybe the hotel was 100% full. lol. The lanterns was 10 for $20. I only wanted it after I saw another bride with her lanterns set up.. very pretty. I also went with Delsol for photos. Day passes for Sol and Deborah. but I believe they forgot to charge me for that, so I'm not complaining. I cannot wait to see my pics from them, I had such a wonderful time with Delsol photographers and they were so fun yet very professional..I will post pics and review once I can find the time!!! Ling

HI!! Which airline did you take? I am now just reading borrow reviews about how the checked luggage got lost or stolen. I am taking Aeromexico and my wedding is in 2 weeks!! I am freaking out! I am probably going to shell out extra cash to fedex it there in a couple of days!!

HI!! Which room category did you get upgraded to that is included in the package? If I were to do another upgrade to the governor suite, does anyone now how much we have to pay??? Cheerios

Hi, How much did the resort charge for the bridesmaid hair and makeup?? and how long was the rehearsal? Pilar haven't replied to my many emails, I'm getting nervous cos a lot of stuff I didn't do yet with her.

HI! Does anyone know the measurements of the canopy fabric? I was told I have to bring my own if I don't want to just use the white ones they have.

Hi Caroline, I'm having my wedding there in June, and I am having like a welcome cocktail session at the lobby bar, there are couches on both sides of the bar and Pilar said they would block off an area for my guests(NO CHARGE). After that we are going to have dinner at the Carnival Buffet and she would do the same, reserve an area with no additional fee:) Ling

The pictures are fantastic!! I am using Delsol too in July! Can't wait!!! I just returned from my site visit there for the weekend. I saw ALOT of weddings!! No kidding!! There was 57 weddings this month Pilar told me. So to reassure all the other brides that thinks that Pilar is slow to respond..They do work extremely hard I have to say..between 2 weddings a day and rehearsals and emails..I see her running around in the mornings till late at night.. Btw, the sports bar played different genres of music when I was there, one night was Top 40s on the charts, one night was 80s and 90s and one night I couldn't remember what>lol.

Hi there, What are my transportation options to get to the resort from the airport? Ling

Tiakat, Ana maria was my coordinator too..but I was told she quit!!!!so now I have pilar... I heard she's more accommodating..so I'm not complaining..yet...lol

my questions 1) I would like to find out if cantoya balloons/sky lanterns are allowed, I was told no, but they did it during new year's eve. 2) I am interested in finding out the prices of fireworks or the fire show? 3) I am having the reception in the bamboo room and I know of another bride having her reception in the terrace at the same time. I understand that both venues are only separated by glass doors, so how would both receptions be held without the music disrupting each other? 4)Are there any other chairs during the ceremony? benches? plain chairs? I really do not like the white covers or the sashes.. Thanks!!!!

That's great with all the goodies we'll be getting:) I am also with Theresa and my weeding is on July 21,2012! Can't wait!

What???hmmmmm...good to know now I can email pilar..That kinda sucks..now we sorta have to do and negotiate all over again???? Thanks for the info!

Hi Ladies, Here's a great deal from travel zoo I found if anyone wants to go for a site visit...its as though we don't have to pay for airfare!!
