I got married here in February. We had about 20 guests. We got married on the beach and had a private reception on the upper pool area. The food was very good, I believe we had the ahi salad, white bean soup, and the chicken and fillet. Since we had cake we asked Lis if we could do an app instead of dessert and she said that was fine so we had the tempura shrimp and it was excellent. We used FineArt Studio for a photographer and cenote TTD and they were AMAZING. They cost more than the whole wed dding but worth every $. We did not get any flowers, only my bouquet which was part of my package, or really any other ad-ons. The resort is very nice, a little on the smaller side and no disco but we all had a lot of fun. The pool was a little cold in February but we did not stop us from swimming everyday. We thought all of the restaurants were very good, I never had the buffet though. I really liked the civiche bar and hung out there for lunch everyday. I wish I could have one of those fish tacos now
Unlike the other reviews I was not happy with Lis, she was very nice and I liked her a lot, but she made a BIG mistake. My husband and I wrote our own vows and ceremony script and after I walked down the aisle and was being married the officiant started reading something that was not our ceremony. We did not want to stop the wedding so we just did her generic script. It still makes sad thinking about it. We spent months writing it and it was very personal and perfect for us. My husband has mentioned several times that he doesn't even feel married because the whole time we were thinking about how that was not our script and not about our vows to each other. After the wedding I asked her what happened and she apologized and asked if we wanted to re-do it?! We declined obviously. Then all night she kept asking if we wanted to say our vows over dinner/during the dance/after the toasts ect. Then at dinner I had to have my husband make sure they had one vegetarian entree for one of my guests because I knew she had forgot and she did. I think she is very scatter brained and not very detailed. She is very busy (there was at least one wedding everyday we were there) and I understand that, but that was a big mess up. So if something is important to you no matter how many times she reassures you to relax and she has everything handled just keep double checking.
If anyone has any questions about anything at all feel free to PM me.

We only have 13 guests so I see your dilemma. We are doing a private dinner for $50 a person at the resort right after the ceremony. We do not have to rent a room we are going to have it in an area by the pool which is included in the price. I think we are doing a sunset dinner cruise the night before for our "rehearsal" dinner. I just thought it would be easier to just stay in the same place. See if your resort offers something like that.

I have a one year old and she will be at my wedding but she is our child.. My resort offers sitters for a fee and we were thinking about using one for the reception (if I can handle it, a little scary a stranger in another country watching my child) just be aware some of your guest may feel offended you asking that their children not attend the ceremony(especially being watched by a stranger) after traveling so far to come to your wedding which may double as their family vacation. The "no children please" is often a touchy subject even at a wedding at home.

We went out last weekend looking everywhere and I think we are going to go with these. It is an off white and does not look yellow at all.

Not crazy at all! If you can return it if it doesn't fit then loosing out on shipping charges is a low risk for your dream dress. Let us know when you get it!

- $15 for $40 worth of fashion scarves and pashminas
- $30 for $80 worth of the above

It looks like they are all 19.95-24.95 so for $30 you could get four pashminas
Deal ends in 7 hours!

I think these are my favorite I have seen, I hope mine look half as good.

So cute! I actually stayed at The Islander Resort a couple months ago and thought it would be such a perfect place to get married! I hope you had a good time

Yesterday I got Hangover Helper Vitimin Shots (cleaned the store out) and mini footballs for the guys. I didn't get to look around very long because I was with my fiancé and he was ready to leave before we got in haha

inloveinkorea where did your fiance did his shirt? I'm having a hard time finding an ivory that is not to yellow.
-
Thanks, I think that's what I will do. Is "almond" a brighter white or off white. I keep seeing it online and I can not tell on the monitor.

Beautiful! I love the back!

My dress is Ivory and I was wondering if my FI and groomsmen need to wear ivory instead of white. My mother told me that if the men wear white my dress will look dirty. They are just wearing the dress shirts no jackets or vests to cover. All of the ivory shirts I have seen have looked so ugly and yellow not even close to the color of my dress. HELP

Not sure if they are photo props or not because the description is vague and the weird mix, but for $7 might be worth a try if its something your looking for.

Hi, Just an FYI all of the beaches on Maui are public. Some resorts try and make it look like they are private but they are all indeed public. A lot of the resorts have private wedding areas right next to the beach, but it won't be very close to the water. If you are flexible with your decorations you can get married on the beach and I have seen some beautiful weddings with very little. I used to live there.

Oh! its $160 for both or $85 each.

Bought these bridesmaid dress for $178.00 each! One is size 6, and one is size 10. Both dry cleaned.
These dresses are so nice because they are faltering on any body type. The way that they fit you could go up or down a size; for example I wore the size 10, which is my size but could have easily wore and 8 or 12.
message me with any questions
buyer pays shipping
Only size 10 left

Miranda, for a "favor" we took everyone on the Captin Hook pirate dinner cruise and it was a lot of fun for everyone. It was pretty expensive once it was all said in done but we wanted to do something to say thank you to all of our guest. We did do out of town bags and my husband just went to the rooms and handed them out. (we only had 20 guests so only 10 rooms). Since we had so few guests we personalized the bags a little and put some nicer gifts in my mom and sisters like swimsuit cover ups. My mom and sister both are hair stylist so they did my hair and makeup. It was REALLY windy at my wedding and I had a loose side braid but I wish I would have just leave it down or put it up tighter because it all kinda fell out anyway.
