Those are too cute!! I love your idea of hanging them on the chairs!

I got a voicemail from Autumn who said Carole is out for a FEW weeks and she is taking over! She confirmed my date of 12/2...and said e-mail her with questions...but didn't leave her e-mail address! I want to e-mail her to send me an updated contract.   Does anyone have Autumn's email adress?

I've been working w/Autumn for Carole this week, too. Just sent in my final payment. I've just been emailing to Carole's email, and Autumn gets back to me SUPER quick from there so just keep sending to Carole.

Soooooo pretty!!!! Best wishes & safe travels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to hear/see how perfect it was

Like you this is something i was not told and when my fiance and i saw it we were a little disappointed. April, May, June, and November are their busiest months so during those times you're probably going to run into it. Zulma said they are doing 84 weddings this April.

This is so ridiculous! I don't like it and my FI won't either! All The Royal cares about is $. They don't care about us as brides. There policies are dumb as hell! If we didn't have so many people booked...

At least this way I'll be mentally prepared!

If they are just going to stack the weddings & receptions on top of each other, why do they book times? This really pisses me off!

 

Jesmcan, where is your reception? Are you having it right after the wedding?

So I started contacting photographers and I'm in shock at how expensive some of them are!! I knew it was going to be a huge expense but come on! Anyways waiting for repsonses from a couple others, but right now leaning towards Samuel Luna. Has anybody worked with him?

 

Also, what is everybody doing for welcome parties?? I think that it's ridiculous that in order to reserve at one of the restaurants that it's $15 a person. It's an all-inclusive so I don't understand that at all!

 

Sorry I had to vent.

I know! Photographers are expensive but are worth it. I so love del Sol and Elizabeth Medina but they were not in my price range.

That is why we are not doing a welcome dinner but doing a welcome get together at a bar at Gran Porto.
