That sounds super intense! Thanks for the info though Amy, it will definately guide me on how I plan my day. The pictures you sent were beautiful.

I can understand your frustration if you sit down and tell them how you want something and it doesn't happen that way. I can see how that would be worse then it just not going quite right by chance.

I really liked your advice about having a member of your wedding party double check the details for you.

Thanks for the wonderful guidance!!!

Thanks bryjenbry!!!

 

We also had Yazmin for my daughters' WC. She was wonderful from beginning to end. I was in contact with her alot, through email, planning the wedding down to the final fact. When everything was finally decided, I sent her an email with "everything " we decided on and also a schedule with the start and finish time of every single event. I asked her to confirm everything, she did and I took email along with me. Everything was perfect and exactly on time!! We did not feel rushed at all.

My daughters wedding was at 5:00. Her hair was booked for noon and her makeup for 1:30. She was done by 2:00 and just relaxed in the Presidential suite until 4:00. Then we got her into her dress and we all got ready. Everyone had to be at gazebo by 4:40, except bride and father. Yazmin appeared at Presidential at 4:30 with bouquet and photographer.

We booked my daughters wedding in May of 2009 with Miami and in June of 2009 we already were dealing with the resort WC, Yazmin. So I was actually communicating with her for about 1 year prior to the wedding. Usually you do not speak with the resort WC until 3 months before the wedding.

Its very difficult to choose between all of these palace resorts. I think I'm further confusing myself

Hey all,

All the reviews of this place sound wonderful, so I'm thinking of Aventura Spa Palace for my own wedding.  All the guests will be adults, but I have a younger brother who is under 18...he would be the only one under 18 that day. 

 

Does anyone know if they will make an exception with their adults only policy for 1 guest?

I am almost positive that they will not allow him onto the Spa side, BUT what is nice about the Spa Palace is that the Cove Palace is right next door and the Cove Palace is family friendly!  You would just have to make sure all of your wedding events were on the Cove side, which isn't hard to do.  Everything is within walking distance no matter where everyone stays.  I don't have any children coming but I am still having my ceremony and reception dinner on the Cove side just because I like the locations better!  If you love the idea of being at an Adult-only resort and still want to have your brother included, this is the best of both worlds!  I hope this helps!?
