You know- I think I read that in an earlier post-- from someone else, also... Valeria hasn't said anything to me about that- and in the spreadsheet she sent us -(and we just "signed off on and paid"!)- she had written, "bride will bring her own votives, please place 5 votives on each high table (for cocktail party and chocolote fondue party) and place 22 votives with centerpieces on tables at Las Fuentes." - she didn't have a charge on the spreadsheet for setting up the votives...... If they try and charge us when we get to the resort,, it might turn a little ugly---we'll see......

That is sad about the pizza/burger joint!! Well, maybe that will help steer me to the salads at the health bar- hehe..

Jo Jo's is across from the pizza and burger place, and that has a good pretty quick lunch. They have nachos and appetizers and stuff!

I just got a response back from Monica regarding the pizza/burger place:

 

"Yes, it was burne[d], I do not remeber if was lat week or the week before, but not to worry, the hotel is working on it and it will be ready by your holiday [April 20, 2008]."

 

So, good news, hopefully!

Is there a spreadsheet that I need to fill out on all the amentities we are requesting for our ceremony & private party? Do I just email all the arrangements to WC and she will send the confirmation. What about for appointments for hair & nails if I am doing that? NEED INFO ASAP HAVE TO SEND REQUEST IN TOMMORROW.

THANKS:

Hey-- yea, I sent in all my of requests and Valeria sent back an organized spreadsheet with everything broken down and w/ prices... I had sent her pictures of some of the things I wanted and she had those on the spreadsheet too-- to send to the on-site coordinators.. The last page of the spreadsheet has our "rooming list" -a list of all of our booked guests--- with any special rooming requests...the WC will do all of that for you... I knew me and my sister were getting our hair done, and I am getting the "exotic grape treatment" that morning- so I went ahead and scheduled those through her.. All of my requests were sent through email, and she did the actual spreadsheet... If you want to see my spreadsheet- just PM me... Hope this helps!!

Hi Guys-

 

Has any done the sunset cruise at Maroma Beach? We did a site visit a few weeks ago before booking EDR (we looked at Azul, ED Maroma, and EDR) and the on-site wedding coordinator told us that we could do this as our wedding reception. Has anyone looked into doing this or been on the cruise? It consist of having cocktails on a catamaran and then having a lobster/steak dinner on the beach. I am concerned with how the food will taste. It is not catered by EDR but rather by the Marina itself. Anyone eaten there?

 

Thanks

Grrr. I think I'm down to the last minute details w/ EDR and this darn photography issue is driving me nuts. We agreed to pay the $500 vendor fee. So, that's been paid and I thought the issue was over. I notified Monica to tell her that my photographer will be bringing two associates w/ her (one of whom is the videographer). At first, Monica indicated that I might have to pay ANOTHER $500 fee for the videographer (who is associated w/ my photographer, mind you), but then she let that drop. But now, she told me that since we will be counting them as our guests in our "free" wedding dinner at El Cocotal and having them at our mini-private party afterwards ($8.00/person), we also have to get day passes for all of them! So, if I'm understanding her correctly, she wants me to pay $500 for the fee (at least one $500 fee so far), $72.00 for each guest pass (3), and $24.00 for three people at the private party. Ugh!!! I sent her an email to clarify all of this, but I am fuming.....and feel kind of defeated at the same time........
