Would you had done anything different if you had known prior to the wedding?

I would have tried harder to have the wedding at 5 or 6....4 pm was soooo hot. Other than that, nope!

Hi Sharla,

great review and fantastic pictures.

Just a few questions I would like to ask you:

Did you get 2 hours free with your cocktail party or 1 hour free for booking 10 rooms or more?

Did your upgrage photo package include pictures of the coctail party and reception?
Also could you have the photographer taking pictures while you was getting ready?

Did any of your guests stay outside the resort? if so did the resort charge the guest passes to your room?

Did you have a welcome dinner for your guests? if so what resturant?

How much did your bridesmaid flowers cost?

Did you get to choose the gazebo?

Here are the answers to these questions:

Hi Sharla,

great review and fantastic pictures.

Just a few questions I would like to ask you:

Did you get 2 hours free with your cocktail party or 1 hour free for booking 10 rooms or more? They don't really care about how long it lasts. I know it says 1 hour but they will go for 2 or more without any complaints.

Did your upgrage photo package include pictures of the coctail party and reception? No. We had a dozen cameras with us so we just took them ourselves.

Also could you have the photographer taking pictures while you was getting ready? We didn't. I knew we were having a professional photog for the AHR so I didn't worry too much about it. I'm sure you could find a way if you asked, I know they had upgraged packages up to $1000 more over the deluxe package.

Did any of your guests stay outside the resort? if so did the resort charge the guest passes to your room? Yes. 2 guests have a condo in Cancun. They just drove in and paid their $81/person. They will not let guests into the gazebo without a bracelet. They were very strict with us about that.

Did you have a welcome dinner for your guests? if so what resturant? No. I wanted everyone to do what they wanted the whole time. If I were to go to a DW I wouldn't want a iteniarary handed to me...that was just me though. I just told them all to show up on the wedding day at a certain time...it went flawless. We all hung out with anyone we ran into the whole week and everyone did their own excursions etc....no one felt like they were tied down or HAD to be anywhere. We were very laid back.

How much did your bridesmaid flowers cost? I made them ...but about $10/bouquet.

Did you get to choose the gazebo? No. They just emailed me and sent pictures saying this is where you will be....which was fine by me. I didn't need anymore decisions to make! :)

I just came back from my wedding. (Review soon to come) Just wanted to let you know that we had room issues as well. So, you were not alone. But, the wedding itself was PERFECT!!!
