I posted on here last year but its been a while since I have checked in. My wedding is April 24, 2014. I haven't done anything as far as coordinating with the resort, just a couple emails back and forth with Connie. I have had the photography packages emailed to me but I haven't booked them yet because I haven't decided which one I want.
Basically, I am waiting until all of my guests book to see exactly how many I have. That has been the worst part. SO many people are waiting until the last minute.
Right now we have 29. I chose the Gold Star package with some add ons. I want to have colored chair bows, some boutineers, bouquets for myself and bridesmaids, etc for the ceremony. However, I do not need a full reception in a private restaurant because we are having an AHR.
Did anyone else do this? I also read somewhere that it said you must book a private restaurant for an extra $900 if you have more than 30 people. Is there a way around this. We may have 36 at the most and 3 of them are under 10.
Do I arrange seating, centerpieces, table runners, etc for this? Or is it decorated for us with the Gold Star package.
I also am confused about coordinating music for the ceremony, the vows (do the ministers just do the same for everyone? is it in English?) Do I meet with Alejandra and get all of that figured out once we get there?
Any answers to these questions would greatly be appreciated. I'm starting to get nervous.
