Whew...it took me 2 days to get through all of these posts and now I feel more confused than ever. What I wanted when I started reading this thread has probably changed 5 times now. I'm feeling very overwhelmed at the moment.....

Just got back from our 2nd anniversary visit to the resort. Let me know if we can be of any help to anyone. Saw most of the resort and wedding locations again. Resort is even better now than it was when we got married there Nov 2007!!!

Jamie -- Have a gift certificate from our recent visit. PM me if you are interested in it and I will give you all of the details written on it. Otherwise, I will probably just put it on eBay.

Do you have any pics you can post from your recent visit?

Thanks Jamie! I actually talked to Carolina and she said I could add any flowers I wanted! I sent her a picture and she sent it to the florist.

Thanks!

Lauren

I just got an email back from Valeria with alot of the "extras" we were interested in. She is being very responsive and friendly which is great! My "extras" are really adding up! Did anyone else find the same?

 

Has anyone gotten a musician for the ceremony? Did anyone notice the hanging flower corsages at the ceremony? I'm a bit spoiled as a wedding planner myself and I want to customise everything! We are getting a private reception and dinner but I want to make everything custom

 

Anyone who has already celebrated - what would you do different? Jennifer

hey ladies,

 

i know that i want to use dj mannia for our reception. valeria told me it would cost $500 just to have him DJ at the resort. We're bringing 75 guests for our wedding, so I feel that I should be shown a bit of goodwill. Has anyone else been able to work around the $500 outside vendor fee?

 

I'd love your thoughts.

Hello BagLover! I have an outside photograpgher - moments that matter - so i am expecting the $500 fee also. I doubt I'll get any wiggle room there.

 

Do you know who they recomend for the DJ if you go with their person?

Hi Jennifer!

She quoted me $1500 for their DJ. So with DJ Mannia + the $500 fee I'm still coming in at a lower rate than their $1500.
