We are getting married on April 24th and no one has said anything to me!!!  Does anyone know what their options are???

My wedding is March 2014...coming up quick! I wanted to ask any future brides or past brides if the DJ is worth it. We were thinking of just renting the sound system and using our ipod...but I worry that we will need a DJ to be like MC and guide the party. What are you guys doing?

Can anyone tell me when a coordinator or someone will get in touch with me or if I should reach out?  We are booked for April 24th and I really haven't heard anything from anyone except the confirmation, menu options and budget planner that were all emailed to me.

Thanks

I agree - we aren't able to have the Pool Deck but can have the Pool Terrace because another group had it - not a wedding but another group.  I dont' understand!

please also, we are trying to figure out if costs can god down if we bring lanterns or if we have to get theres

can't wait to see pics from everyone.  we've been reading everyone's suggestions and thoughts and are excited.  We are confirmed for April 24th but haven't heard from anyone at the resort.  Im guessing we will in January? (hopefully).

Does anyone know if we could supply our own colored paper lanterns for the lantern trees or strings and have them discounted?

can you guys that have already had weddings give me some advice - the pool deck is taken for our date and they offered the pool terrace (Im not sure what it looks like) and Im hoping that it will still all look great....anything I should do instead?

Also for those not having a cocktail hour - what kind of credit do you receive and also where did your guests go to hang out?  was there an open bar?

Hi Everyone, so I have a bit of a personal question, I have gone with the ultimate package, but I'm wondering how much everyone else ended up paying in 'extras' when they got there, I have a price list but just want to make sure I have the right sort of price in mind, as it seems I will only get this price right before the wedding... these are the main extras I want - -LED dance floor -fire dancers (has anyone else had these)? -bridesmaid/arch/centerpieces flowers etc -some lighting -Music I was thinking of just going for the I pod dock to keep costs down? and then using the trio from the package for the ceremony rather than the cocktail hour? (has anyone done this) - Photographer it says on the form I can add hours on for $99 Has anyone done this? anyway for all the extras I am budgeting for about $3500 am I being to optimistic? any help would be great with this? x

That's awesome do you have everything planned out yet?

Hey! ours is 03/22/14! Right after yours

I asked the same question (we are getting hitched in april) and my travel agent suggested that we bring with us and pay for extra baggage.  Shipping is expensive (although we are from Maine so you may be closer) and clearing customs takes a long time!

Hi ladies I have been everywhere around my town for dresses and still can't find the one Im really looking for. I have found one that i love online and am ver hesitant about buying a dress through an online shop from overseas. I have read good and bad reviews from both and then the reviews saying its either great or terrible so must be a scam. I am down to either dressilyme.com and voguepromdress.com and any advice you have or thoughts/expereinces would be helpful! Jill p.s. did anyone that had their reception at Dreams order the Mexican Decorations? This is an option and I don't even know what that means or looks like

Thanks tons!!!

These pics are amazing.....who was the photographer and also did you bring all the signs/props and decorations with you or did they have them at the resort?

Just wondering where you all chose for cocktails and reception.  We have cocktails at the Jacuzzi and then Reception on the Beach but are now questioning that and make boing to change from the Beach to the Pool Patio.  Do you know if a dance floor comes with packages or if there is a charge?  Any past pics would be fantastic!

Thanks for the help

We had Anel as did many people on this thread and I highly recommend her! She was so awesome to work with and her pictures are just to die for! People still talk about our pictures and say that we would have paid ALOT of money to get what she did here in Houston.  Here is a link to my facebook album with all the pics from her.  https://www.facebook.com/savanahcooper/media_set?set=a.790269831946.2135365.118502317&type=3
