Beaches ~ Turks & Caicos Roll Call!


Recommended Posts

TimsWife2Be- I struggled with the same thing. I have heard some not so great reviews on Beaches photography but want my family and the ceremony/reception to be in the pictures. I chose the 18 images on the CD, and hopefully if they come out good I will have the option to chose more. I'm not exactly sure if that will be the case though, and won't even bother asking Monica because I'm sure she won't get back to me until AFTER our wedding at this point! I'll keep you posted.. :)

Hey Ladies!!!! Im leave in 6 days!!!!!!

 

I booked everything with monica yesterday finally!

Booked the calypso band for 2 hours to play during our private reception, I booked the 2 hour private reception.

The seashell bouts are $20.00 a piece as well as the white orchids, they used to be $40.00 a piece so they have gone down!! Also the white orchid wrist corsages are $30.00.

Lets see what else..... Oh the seaside them has done down in price and now includes 12 free photos and a free standard DVD!!!!

Actually mine has changed.  I moved our date to October 21st, 2011.  To make a long story short, I started to panic!  Up until a few days ago, I still didn't even have my dress!!!  I was stressing and rushing and honestly, it is only me, FI, my daughter and my parents going so it really wasn't a major deal to push it a few months. Besides the normal wedding stress, I also had the unpleasant "ex" factor in there (this is my second marriage).  I feel much more relaxed now that I have more time and I can actually enjoy this planning process now.   Besides, now we get to stay 10 days instead of 7 woot.gif  Prices and availability are much better.  AND, when I was not expecting it, I found THE dress a few days ago.  Everything is falling into place now and I feel like I can truly look forward to my day.  The countdown begins... again!

Just to clarify, Beaches will allow outside photographers on property if a room is booked in their name for 3 or more nights.  We have had this happen in the past where a "lowest price" room has been booked for one of our photographers and that room has been used as a get together room/storage room etc or even for kids etc but it's in the TI photographer's name.  Because of that the photographer is then able to be on property and photograph the actual event on property and around the resort.  Obviously it's not the "least expensive option" but it is an option available for brides wanting another photographer other than Beaches staff.

You can do the calypso band for just an hour and its up to you when you want to have them play, but it would be best to do it for the last hour of the reception so they arent breaking down all their equipment while your in the middle of eating and everything, we couldnt decide when either so we just decided to have them for the entire reception.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
