Wow, girl. I think we all felt like this at some point. This time of year is especially busy for them. Just bear with it. It'll all work out in the end.

Landy did tell me that after this week, they have on average 2-3 weddings a day until the end of June! So yeppers, they're definitly busy right now!

Wow.. LoL Ill try to be understanding. Im just so anxious and eager. I have every small detail worked out in my head and I think my mind might explode if I dont begin to do something hahahah..

 

Keep in mind.. I am looking at a end oct/nov-ish 2010 wedding too. I KNOW I HAVE TIME but you guys can understand how I feel.

Ok...I am trying to figure out the whole music thing. To have the speakers and microphone at the ceremony is $150, then another $150 for the reception? Now what if I still want to play music from my Ipod during the cocktail hour? Do I have to pay another $150 for the speakers then? I don;t think I really need the speaker for the cocktail hour but the Ipod Docking Station would be enough. BUT if I am having the coctail hour on the beach anyway...I imagine there will be music there anyways...no?

 

Any insight or advice from past brides would be greatly appreciated!!!

 

Thanks!

Hey Denise, we were married last week and they wanted to charge us $150 for the ceremony AND $365 for reception speakers!!
If you want to hook your iPod up to any of the speakers they charge you through the nose If you utilize your iPod docking station there is no fee.....it is my understanding that the cocktail hour is part of the reception and thus the reception fee applies. Crazy I know!

I was so focused on my DH, sappy I know....I didn't notice anyone looking. My Dad had mentioned that there were "on lookers" but it still felt private. We were so focused on eachother and our guests that I didn't notice...share the love!

Hi Nicole,

I am getting married on December 12, 2009 at Dreams Tulum and was wondering if you could send me the packet you sent out with your save the dates? That would be really helpful!

WELL LADIES..

 

I talked to Natalia via email. She said the date I wanted is available but now only at noon. I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR A WHILE NOW and I totally got screwed. UGGGGHH! I have to have a 3pm-ish wedding because I want it to flow into night for my reception. I am sooo bummed. I guess Ill go on to my 2nd requested date and hope that one works. GRRRRR

 

On a good note: I am happy to say I have EVERYTHING underway! Bridesmaid dresses, colors, centerpiece idea, invites narrowed down, a few dresses I CANT wait to check out.. and even my programs. CAN WE SAY SPAZ? hahaa
