Thanks Ally! I am starting to feel better about it now. I doubt there is a place at the resort that isnt beautiful!

There is another wedding that day before mine. Mine starts at 4. I think that it will be better in the long run that it's at Spice Terrace because we are having a small wedding. There are 20 of us total. I just liked the CECO because of the fountains and how open it is. That might be better for a larger group though. Did you use the provided ceremony music or did you bring your own? I think we are just going to go with what they have but I am wondering what it sounds like. I am getting so excited! Did you and your husband do any of the activities or any excursions while you were there? anything you would recommend??

Thanks Jass! Im sure it will be perfect. I am just a little confused as to why it is already taken. Oh well. I am learning not to sweat the small stuff and with 38 days to go I seem to be telling myself that more and more. Your pictures are beautiful! I am so happy for you! I hope your husband is doing better!

I am so sad! The CECO Terrace where we wanted to have our reception is not available so we have to have it on the Spice Terrace. Has anyone had their reception there? Is it as pretty as the CECO Terrace? Thats what I get for not reserving it sooner. 6 weeks away and starting to get excited and now this.

Thanks Shannon! I PMed you my email address

I'm so glad to hear everything went so smoothly! I am 8 weeks away and starting to freak out a bit. Did you get your hair done at the resort or did you do it yourself? Also, would you mind telling me what your day of timeline was like? When did you start gettign ready etc? Was Lleny there for the majority of your wedding? Also, did you use your own script for the ceremony or the one the minister already had? We are using the in house photographer as well so I am glad to know he was so good. I can't wait to see pics and sorry about all the questions!

How frustrating! I wish they had more people working for them so we could get answers faster. I keep telling myself that every bride comes back after they have gotten married here and says that for the most part everything was under control. Hopefully that will be the same for you! I think I am planning on getting my nails done the day before we leave with a shellac mani so it will hold up a bit better. I will bring my own polish so if I do get a chip I can fix it myself. Are you using the ministers script or did you write your own? And do you by chance have his email address??

So helpful. Thank you May12!

Hi Ladies! A few questions for past and future brides... Are any of you doing one big rectangle table for the reception? We are having a small group of about 20 and the reception is outsite on the CECO Terrace and I don't know if one table will look funny with the dance floor. But if I do round tables it will only be 2-3 of them which may also look funny. Or I am totally reading into this too much. Also, how much time did the past brides spend with the WC to go over and finalize everything? I am only going down 2 days before the wedding date and will need time to get the OOT bags and favors ready as well as see the incoming guests.

When I got my quote for Doremixx and added the vendor fee they were $400 more than the in house DJ. You must have got a really good quote!

Any ladies know how the spa works or how much everything is? If I book the appts under my name will the 15% discount apply for all the bridesmaids too?

Those are cute and will still give some height. My bridesmaid is pretty tall so she can get away with wearing flats. This si what she was thinking... http://www.stevemadden.com/Item.aspx?id=60829&np=709_854

Hi Jass7, I am going barefoot on the beach and then I have about 3 1/2 inch heels for the reception. One of my brisdesmaids doesnt really want to go barefoot so she is wearing a pair of Steve Madden T-Strap sandles with rhinestones on them. They are super cute and I think they would look cute with a wedding dress as well.

We are thinking about doing the ceremony at the beach but it will just depend on how windy it ends up being. So far we are thinking about the event terrace as well. I totally agree with you on the DJ. The less stress the better. Did you get a list of prices for the extras?

I just emailed him back asking him if he had a list of extras or if I need to get that from the wedding coordinator. I wish the floor was included. That seems pretty standard.
