  1. Did they give you any issues for using your own ipod doc? i tried asking Roxy what brand they use because I figured it would be cheaper to use your own ipod doc or even buy one from the store than to rent. The
    The wedding planner on site did not give us any problem at all with anything! We gave her the doc n we played it when we were ready n she introduced us for the songs! We saved $150 and was totally worth bringing our own!
  2. What dud you do for your reception?? Did you use a DJ or an ipod station and how did that work out??
    We payed for an hour of the steel drum band..after the hour was done they didnt play the drum anymore but sang! It was perfect!! We brought our own ipod doc since I was tols it was $150 per hour to rent. .but keep in mind all the rooms i saw had them in there! We used that for our dance n the mother/father dances! We payed ahead of time for everything! Also we were told the rehearsal dinner did not include alcohol..we could pay but we didn't want to! But when we had the rehearsal it was there with no additional charge!
  3. We only had the cocktail hour reception we received free since we had alot of rooms..we paid extra ahead of time per person for an additional hour with premi booze..so it was a 2 hour cocktail reception. .then we had dinner right after at one of the restaurants! And served our cake there! We paid for one hour steel drum band for the reception and it was amazing! After they were done with their first hour they sung..which was perfect! We had them stop shortly after so we could do our dances from our ipod doc we brought w us! We also got the fire dancer for the rehearsal dinner..and that blew everyone away..so entertaining and worth the $ ! Hope this helps!!

We didn't buy anything extra for the ceremony besides the ring bearer pillow...we did do the sand ceremony. Which I loved! Honestly everything was so simple because you don't need to overdo anything there...the natural surroundings are sooooo beautiful! We didn't have a DJ, we actually rented the iPod dock and had our own playlist. So we just kinda knew which songs where going to be when and went with it. We only had 18 total people including us so we didn't do the whole formal reception thing. As for the dinner, she set up the reservations and then the restaurant took care of us from there. They had two long tables set up for us and we had one server just for us. He was very attentive. The only thing I would change is ...I would have had my wedding earlier so we could have more time for pictures and I would have liked more time before our dinner. Other than that everything was perfect!

    Did you get beer & alcohol at the cocktail hour? If so did you have to pay per person? Did you think 1 hour was enough? Im thinking about having it 2 hours and paying the difference so it is a little longer. What kind of appetizers were they? My fiance is highly allergic to shellfish so I will have to specify that!! Also how much did you have to pay for the ipod dock? My wedding is at 2, I hope I have enough time for everything! What time was yours at? Did they supply the stuff for the sand ceremony? If yes was it nice? I really appreciate your help! its making me feel much better!!! :)

  6. Thanks so much for ur thoughts n help! I am thinking of doing the real touch flowers! Did u bring or buy anything for decor for the cocktail reception? Or the ceremony? Im debating if i want or need to! I want it to look pretty n have no idea how its gonna look!! Did they do the introducing of the dances n stuff? Or did u have a dj? And did your wedding lady set up the dinner after? Thanks again :)

  7. Congrats on booking your wedding!! I had the beautiful beginnings theme. You can choose white or magenta orchids for the bride bouquet. You can bring your own flowers or choose from the other bouquets they offer (which are very costly) most of the past brides end up using real touch bouquets because they can't get the colors they want in a budget friendly price...but it's totally up to you! I did a 1 hour cocktail reception after my ceremony...that's when we cut the cake, did our first dances, and mingled with the guests. It was very nice. After that we all went to Schooner's for dinner. So I didn't pay extra for a private sit down dinner, they just sat us all in the same area, with two big tables next to each other. Hope that helps!
  8. Hello brides!! I am getting married at Beaches in Turks on 11-12-13!!! I have my conference call with the planner next month. So of course now I have alot of questions and I am trying not to freak out. So since I am having a big group I will get the beauftiful beginings wedding theme included in my package. But my wedding colors are fuchsia and tangerine. Does anyone know anything like if they would change the colors for me or what? And I guess charge me for the difference? I know the bouquet for the beautiful beginings theme the flowers are magenta. That does not and could not go for my wedding. And I really dont wanna have to do fake ones..but I am not paying these crazy amount of $ of the bouquets Beaches offers if they will not work with me. Also anyone just having a cocktail reception? I don't want to spend the $ per person for some fancy sit down dinner when its not what we want. But I don't really know how it works? Like if we want to have our first dance & dance with our parents. Anyone know? Anyone have pics from a wedding there? Id love to see! I need all the help I can get!! Thanks girls! :)
