Hey guys!!! Well I did finally hear from Ilena and I feel much much better about the wedding now! She answered all of my questions and it looks like most of the things Yamina told me were included still are. There are chairs, linens and flowers are included just make sure you ask her questions to clarify. At first none of the flowers I wanted were going to be "included" in my package thus I would have to pay for them. After emailing with her for a while we finally agreed on modifying them a bit so that they would count as my "natural centerpeice" that is included in my package. So yeesh almost everything is planned now which is a huge relief because I only have 2 weeks left! Do any previous bride have recommendations for cake flavors? I'm thinking of going with vanilla filled with chocolate mouse but vanilla filled with strawberry's also sounds great! I also heard from a previous bride, that if there is left over cake you can ask them to save it in the kitchen for you and then for the rest of your stay you can request a piece of your wedding cake through room service. How great is that?!?!

Hey guys! Sorry to everyone who is having photographer troubles, I feel like service at the EPM has just dropped by 100%! I still haven't gotten answers from Ilena and I am this close to hoping a plane and tracking that woman down myself! I am planning on using Sara Herrera from Victor Herrera photography, she is really reasonably priced and I get her for a full 8 hours! They have been really great to work with so far and Ilena has given me the offical go ahead with them so they are okay to use at the EPM! http://www.victorherrera.com.mx/photographers/ Just thought I'd throw that option out there for anyone who needs ideas! Hopefully I'll be back on here with answers from Ilena soon. I'm getting married there in just 3 weeks, so I hope things work out!

Did anyone else have to pay for chairs for the ceremony? I keep sending her lengthy emails with a dozen questions and she'll answer a few but not all, so I am getting very confused. I've just sent her a long one again and I'll be back here to post whatever she answers! I just heard from a girl who got married there about a month ago and she would not stop gushing about how amazing it was! I have faith that this will all play out in the end! Dear God please let this new chick learn the ropes quick and figure all this out!

Umm hello will this website go ahead and let me reply now???

Hey everybody! So I have been following this thread for almost over a year for details and tips for my upcoming wedding. I've only posted once before because typically just hearing from you all is all the info I need..... Well my wedding is 8.5.11 and this new wedding planner is making me start to panic! First off I feel like I have nothing planned with her and she only just now got back to me about flowers. I had a beach bonfire for my rehersal all worked out with Yamina but according to this new chick that is not allowed. Has anyone else heard this? I am so confused I also feel like a lot of things that Yamina made it seem like the were included in the wedding package no longer are. Like that bamboo gazebo thing on the beach is not included and their are the chairs. Or at least this is just what the lady told me. I'm waiting to here back now on what is included for the reception. Are chairs and tables and flatware included or am I going to have to pay for those as well? I am just frustrated because I feel like someone should have told me all of this before a month right before my wedding. Eeeeeek! If anyone has answers or tips it'd be majorly appreciated! Thanks!
