We are at 5pm at the fountain, so right after you! I'm doing square paper lanterns, votives, and sea glass for the table decor. I am using the hotel DJ, but I hear a lot of good things about DJ mania as well. I'm also bringing in my own officiant for the wedding... I don't know how I feel about the wedding coordinator doing it. I'm rally excited about staying at NOW! I've heard so many good things!

I'm at the fountain and the quiet pool. What time is your ceremony? I haven't had many issues with communication. I've been working wirh my WC since July of last year. Is there anything I can help answer? I feel like I could work there with everything I've learned the past year :-)

Looks like we are getting married the same day. What are your locations for your ceremony and reception?

I agree girl! Some people think they are better than a resort wedding, but we know better, and I wouldn't worry. I get great advice and ideas from them. At least they won't want a review from me since I'm on resort

I got aqua colored square paper lanterns for my centerpiece with light gold votives and seaglass sprinked on the table. The lanterns are nice b/c they fold up so they are easy to transport and my wedding coordinator at Now, Luisa told me that there isn't a charge for using them which is awesome! As for my bags... I found canvas bags on etsy that are reasonable and customizable. When I get the proof back, I will post it. I'm putting the following in the bags: Koozies (etsy) Plastic Tumblers (etsy) Resort key/money holder (waterproof and super cheap) Welcome Letter Itinerary In sickness and in health bag - pepto, advil, tylenol, shout wipe, band aids, mints, tums Hand Sanitizer (bath and body on sale) Coconut body lotion (bath and body on sale) Sun screen Word search book Gum Tissues Chapstick SPF Sewing Kit Gatoraide packets/kids get koolaid packets Beach balls I think thats it! I've just got to get it all together... and down there

I'm starting to feel stressed too girl! Everyone keeps asking me how I'm going to get all this stuff down there... I suppose I'll wing it. Are you pretty much planned? I have my centerpieces planned... my welcome bags are being designed now... but I don't want to go too crazy until I have a final count. We thought we'd only have about 35 attending and we are already over 40... so the panic is setting in. I dream about this stuff in my sleep, haha. The dress is the only thing I've got completely taken care of. Get that done, and hopefully we can trade ideas.

My wedding is July 24th. I'll be there from July 21st through July 31st!

@kosrae89 Thank you so much for sharing your wedding photos. I have Claudia booked as well for our July 24th wedding at Now. I don't have her booked for the 1st hour of our reception, and I was wondering if you would recommend that I add that? Was it worth the extra $500? Also, how long did it take for pictures between the end of the ceremony and the reception. I too booked the minister for my symbolic wedding which is at 5:30... the cocktail hour immediately follows at 6:00 and reception at the pool at 7pm. Not sure if I should push the wedding back to 5:00. Did you feel rushed? Also, do you know what the difference is between the quiet pool and the relaxing pool? I can't tell which is which. I would love to have your full review emailed to me when you complete it. Thank you again! Rita ritagardner@earthlink.net

Hi! We're booked for July 24, 2015 @ Now Larimar. We are having our ceremony at the Fountain and the reception at the Pool! It's still a year away, but I'm so excited!
