I just got married here December 6, 2014. I do not have the professional photos but I will attach a few that my guests took. If you have questions at all about my experience, please ask! This was a great decision, and overall we had a blast! I'll start with a few pointers that I learned from this experience: We chose the "semi-private" dinner because we did not want to pay to rent the Chill Out Bar in order to cut down on cost. I loved it, and they put us right up toward the oceanside of the Bamboleo restaurant and it was still pretty private. The decor was nice, and the candles in the restaurant created the perfect ambiance. I chose the T-bone; mistake! It was small, and very fatty. If you have the option, choose the filet. I had that one night, and it was delicious. The wedding cake had a whipped cream icing and was delicious. Hair and makeup- We tried to book all five women for the same time and same day for the wedding, including me. The spa told me that they only had two openings. You can imagine how pissed I was! I called the wedding coordinator and she got it taken care of, sort of. My wedding was at 3pm, and two people had to get their hair done at 10am. Not good with the humidity! So my suggestion would be to ask the wedding coordinator to book the day out for you. Same with pedicures and manicures if you want them the day before. Also, if you are thinking about wearing your hair down, DON'T! This is serious. I love my hair down and curly but with the wind, and the humidity, it's a bad idea. We all did up-do's and they all held perfectly and looked great. I left a few small tendrils of hair curled around my face but they dropped instantly. I kept a curling iron hot in my room and popped in once during photographs to spruce them up so they looked good. If I would have gone with the hair down, it would have looked horrible. My hair is extra long and they charged $75 for my updo, and for short hair one of my girls paid $55. Makeup was $60. Both were reasonable. The ceremony was perfect. Make sure you look up sunset times and then have your wedding 2 hours before then, it worked out perfectly for me with pictures and all.
