Thanks!! Time is flying by SOO fast. I just returned from my tradeshow in Vegas (that I coordinated). It was a long exhausting week. I am leaving for a wedding in DC on Thursday. My FI is a groomsman. Then I come back and have my shower, then my wedding is ony a few weeks away. I can't believe it!!
I am getting excited and alittle anxoius. There are still som many "little" details that I am afraid I might forget. I need to start making a list.

Did any of you have to pay location fees at the hotel for ceremony or reception areas?

I have heard that now you have to though, unless you book 10 rooms or something. Do you have to pay a fee?

We did have to pay location fee for the beach area for the whole day and the reception area at PB Sunset beach. For the reception the costs for linens and tables, chairs and the basics were covered in the price. I am not certain that all the guests are going to stay at PB so we payed the fees and if they do then they will apply the cost to bar or food.

I think I'm one of the very few on this board that is NOT having her wedding at an AI resort. Of couse, my budget reflects that.  Currently, we are estimating $35k for everything from our scouting trip to Cabo through to the honeymoon.
