Who are you using for video services?? Any recommendations?? PLEASE

Has anyone used the resort videographers or have any recommendations for videographers?? Thanks!! I think thats the last thing i need to book!

Thank you so much!! I will have to try to make my own!! It looks easy. One question though, how did you make different sizes?? Or how did you know they would fit their feet? All of bm have different sized feet.

I'm using Pastor York for my ceremony. His fee is $350. Does anyone know if we have to pay an entrance fee for him? I booked directly through him, not through Majestic. I suppose I will just let my WC know??

I got some nice personalized canvas tote bags on etsy. They came out to about $8 a piece. I'm still trying to decide what to put in there as well. I have 5 bridesmaids. I"m also looking NOT to spend and arm and a leg with the contents.

Where did u get their jewelry and foot jewelry from? Im not trying to spend a fortune but also dont want to get them anything that looks cheap! Thanks for the ideas

Have you all gotten your bridesmaids gifts yet? I planon getting them personalized tote bags, maybe barefoot sandals...not sure what else?? I have 5 bridesmaids...any other ideas??

My bridesmaids will have the same dress, except in a turquoisy-blue. What jewelry are you doing for them? I need ideas.....

I have a wedding plans notebook as well. I feel just like you, a little all over the place LOL!! At least I booked my venue, dinner, reception area and photographer...now on to the more details...ahhh so much to do!!

Where did you find reviews for the resort dj? I"m thinking of booking DJ Mannia, but haven't yet. I also wish we knew how many people are really going!! We aren't having an at home reception.

And with us having an at home reception also, it makes sense for us to save as much as possible to work in both receptions.I've read great reviews on the resort DJ also though. I'd love to just use an iPod.. but idk.. I do know the last time I went to a wedding the DJ got on my nerves! lol.. Oh and I went ahead and booked the wet bar. Def a great idea in the event of rain. And also I read that the max persons for the parrot bar is 50 guests... While I don't think we will have that many guests.... I still don't want us to be cramped and no room for dancing, just in case.

Do you have Pastor York's email address?

i'm not exactly sure yet, maybe 30-40? I would imagine that they wouldn't count kids for example, but i don't know about other people who wouldn't drink because how would they be able to keep tabs on who is drinking and who's not? Are you using the resort dj? ugh some of this stuff is so annoying to plan!! LOL.

So pretty!! Did you put crystals on the back as well?

Yea i got a thin letter as well, the thinnest one they have, 1/8 I believe...i asked them to paint it and they only painted the front...kind of annoying now i have to get silver paint to paint the back myself! I was thinking about how to get it on the cake, since i haven't yet started to decorate it.

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana. July 27, 2013 Congratulations Ladies!!

This looks so good!! Did you finish doing the back as well? How exactly are you going to put it on the cake? I got inspiration from you and a few other girls on this board to make this myself. I just got my letter in the mail. Its a "V" but I'm wondering HOW i'm going to get in on the cake!?

Did they paint the back of your letter as well? I ordered mine from Craft Cuts, requested it be painted silver, but they only painted the front! UGH!! Also, how do you plan to put this on your cake? My letter is a "V" and before I go out and get the crystals, just wanted to get an idea of how it will go on the cake?? Thank you!! Your letter looks awesome btw Quote: Originally Posted by ChocoTaco7568 UPDATE... I receieved my letters and decided that I liked the English Vivace font best. I'm off to a good start and anticipate this taking me 3 to 3.5 hours to complete due to my 7ss, 9ss and 12ss crystal sizes. And I'm happy I went the swarovskis because they sparkle like crazy. I'm in no rush to complete this, so I will probaby do 30 to 45 minute sessions a day until it's complete. And the tool that I would be lost without is my new wax tip pencil, it makes application a breeze, followed by an angled pair of tweezers.

These are AMAZING!!!! I LOVE THEM!!

I tried booking in August for June '13, but they kept giving me random times, 11am, 1pm...I knew I wanted something on a Saturday afternoon, so I finally booked July 27 at 3:00pm....although I wanted it to be in June. Oh well, more time to plan

Don't you have to pay for a drink package/bartender if you have a private reception at either the Wet Bar or Parrots Bar? That's what my WC told me...I, like you, don't see the point of a drink package/bartender seeing as how the resort is all inclusive, but thats what she told me...Please let me know!! I did book the Wet Bar, based on pics of receptions my WC sent me. Plus it has cover in case it rains! (hopefully it won't)

Thats a great idea! How many different colors of sand would you use?

I agree with previous post. Get as many details as you can. I jot down questions as I think about the big day to make sure i dont forget anything and then email my WC a long list.

Im doing it at the beach, I see it as thats the whole point of having a destination wedding, at least for me. We had thought about gazebo but beach weddings are beautiful! For dinner we booked it at sea & see and reception at the wet bar. I dont really want to wait and see who is coming in case what I want gets booked! Havent gone dress shopping yet! But I cant wait!!

LOVE your bridesmaid dresses!!! Good choice
