@MrandMrsBonitto

 

I'm taking my centerpieces, welcome bags, table runners, chair sashes, basically everything for the reception. I started packing yesterday and I'll probably end up with 3 suitcases when its all said and done!!

@@Jahanee Conner that is a lot of stuff to be taking down, I am super impressed that you fit it in 3 suitcases! Are you planning on doing hair/makeup at the spa there?

I reserved the bridal suite for four hours and planned on letting them do my make up. But my sister is actually going to to my hair.

Hello Ladies:

 

Quick question, did any one who already had their wedding decorate the gazebo on the beach? I am trying to decide how best to decorate and want to put a bouquet of flowers on one of the poles for the gazebo. Does anyone know how much that costs? I am also going to be hanging vases on the back portion of the gazebo with tea lights in them, do you think that they will charge for this? Thanks.

Hey ladies, 

I'm back from our wedding/honeymoon! If you have any questions let me know?

@JAHANEECONNER Congrats:) How did everything turn out? P.s how was the weather?

@@MrandMrsBonitto2016 For the most part everything turned out great!! We had a little situation with the room situation (preferred vs regular). I had Yeomandry for a wedding coordinator and she did everything perfectly!! She was great to work with. I showed her how I wanted everything set up and she delivered. We also used WBA and my pics and video turned out great. I wish I would've gotten the photographer during the reception because the groom and about 30 of our guests jumped in the pool at the end of the reception. 

Our wedding was on the beach at 4 pm and it was perfect. We had a nice breeze from the ocean. Our reception was a little muggy by the pool, hence why everyone wanted to jump in the pool by the end of the night.

I also used Dj Mannia for my dj services and I have to say I was a little disappointed. He didn't have any up to date music but what we used for the bridal party entrance and songs for the dances. And even when he tried to google some songs the internet wasn't working properly. At some point we just used the music off of our guests phone and just told him to play off their playlist for the remainder of the night. I almost feel like I should've either went with the resort DJ or rented the sound system. But nevertheless, we still enjoyed ourselves.

Does anyone have any recommendations on food for the reception?  I am doing the Now to Eternity package which has the silver menu and not sure what to pick for food.  Thank!

Would you recommend preferred? I think that is what all of our guests are doing. Also what menu did you do and how was the food?
