I don't think we are staying in one but I heard it's huge and it might be worth it for getting ready and pictures

I am so fed up with SMB.  If they are that busy they need to hire a 2nd WC because they cashed my deposit check over a month ago (have proof from my bank statement where they signed it) and sent the contract via e-mail and regular mail with the check, then they just tried to cancel us saying that we never paid!!!

That's weird - Did you call them to see what was going on? I'm sure it's a mix up.

When is your wedding?

Great idea!!!!

The Bridal suite in the Spa is pretty nice too so you might also want to look into that as well

At knitgirl: I was actually in the process this week of signing contract and sending deposit. Hopefully that's not the norm!! I would definitely follow up...and it's so good you have bank proof!!!

 

I do have a question for everyone, I did the Q & A and noticed most details I marked off (outside the date and names) were not included on the contract. For example, I marked Gazebo for location but the contract has beach. I've read that the contract is pretty "open" so should I press the issue right now about making the changes or should I just follow up later? I'm assuming that Cecilia is really swamped right now and overlooked those details...

Hi Bella - yes, the contact is pretty open and is a working document basically. I'm getting married in 2.5 months and were are probably going to be revising it until we get down there a few days before

 

I am having the ceremony at the Gazebo and our reception location is still TBD on our contract b/c it really depends on how many people we end up with. Don't stress out - you  have to realize that this not at all like planning a stateside wedding and everything can be finalized within days.

 

let us know if you have any other questions, that's what we are here for!!!

[bellajovie]

Thank you!  You're right, I have to keep in mind (and I'm learning) that destination planning is different.  If it were here, I would definitely want every detail correctly listed on the contract! lol

 

Well I'm excited...we're going to sign the contract!!! Jaccat15 you'll have to let me know how everything goes.  I'm in January 2012 so I have a while...but loving the journey!
