  1. Starting a planning thread is a good idea - I should do that! I am getting married on November 13 - very close to your date! What are you working on right now? Any wedding crafts?
  2. Everybody is enjoying their summer holidays SANGARIA!
  3. Anybody have any tips on how they are getting everything down to their resorts? Are any of you mailing boxes? Or are you just packing into suitcases? Or paying for extra luggage? What's the plan?!
  4. Congrats on the 1st car! What a sweet fiance! What are you doing for your bachelorette party?
  5. Cardero's was really great! In Saskatoon, I would recommend Izumi - it has the most amazing sushi in Saskatoon! And also Ding Dong for vietnamese - so good.
  6. Hi Shelley, This feedback is really helpful - I figured that Bar #1 was one of the lobby bars, but I had no idea which one, so you've definitely helped me narrow it down. So I think I will just plan the welcome night for the lobby bar on the beach side and we should be good to go! How's your planning coming along? Chantel
  7. Thanks for the update on the WiFi, Yasmin! Hope you have a wonderful wedding week!
  8. Hi Janelle! We booked the Palapa and Presidential package as soon as we booked our wedding date with the resort. You can definitely work this out with your wedding coordinator. Chantel
  9. Thank you, Allie! eeeeee 106 days to go! p.s. You look very happy on your wedding day - beautiful picture!
  10. Oooh I just figured out how to insert photos so you don't have to download them! Here are the bars that I am referring to: Bar #1: Bar #2: Thanks! Chantel
  11. I said yes to the dress in May and it came in very quickly - I tried it on a couple of weeks ago and cried just a little! I LOVE IT!
  12. Hi Yasmin, I read yesterday that you get free WiFi with the presidential package, so there should be WiFi on the resort ... What were you able to figure out regarding the WiFi? My mom is ill and won't be able to make the wedding so I would also be interested in using skype on my wedding day to link her into the wedding. Chantel
  13. Are you ladies planning on buying anything specific for your wedding rehearsal night?
  14. I am from Saskatoon, but visited Vancouver a couple years ago with my sister. We stayed at the Coast Coal Harbour and our favourite restaurant in that area was Cardero's. They had really good service, and amazing sangaria. And a nice view!
  15. haha thread is funny, but a very good idea! I will join in on the random chit chat.
  16. Hello Everybody! I am looking for advice from past brides and those who have already traveled to the Grand Sirenis on where to have our rehearsal dinner? How does the rehearsal dinner process work - do we pick our top 3 locations and a night and they do their best to accommodate our group? Is anything else included in the presidential package when it comes to rehearsal night? I am thinking about requesting the Italian, Japanese, and the El Rancho as our options - are these good choices? Also, my fiance and I are trying to make plans to meet our guests at a particular location once we get down to Mexico as a 'welcome night', but I don't think the resort has a bar catalogue, so we started to look for bar pictures on trip advisor to narrow down our choices and we found two locations that look like they could work - please see attached pictures. Is anybody able to answer some questions about these bars?: 1. What is the name of each location? 2. Where is each bar located? I think the one bar is in the lobby - which lobby - is it on the second floor? 3. What hours are each of these bars open? 4. Do either of these locations serve any snacks or food? If so, what kind of food? 5. Do either of these locations play music or have entertainment in the evening? 6. Approximately how many chairs are in each of these locations? 7. Is there another bar choice that you would recommend over these locations? Thanks for your help everybody! Chantel
  17. We heard back from the resort on the same day when we sent our deposits - we didn't have any problems at all with the deposit.
  18. @sgreen99 Gorgeous wedding! Your pictures were amazing! All the details turned out beautifully! I actually used your antiqued treasure chest idea - thank you! I will have to send you pictures when I get a chance. Just a quick question - I was reading through your review and noticed that you didn't finish your story about the presidential suite. You ended off talking about how it was a bit of a problem to get the presidential suite, but you didn't include what problems you ran into and how you ended up getting the presidential suite? Thanks for taking the time to write out your review - it's very helpful! Chantel
