I know...but he has always seemed kind of douchy....and he cheated on his wife for Tori so what did she expect?

Hello Everyone, I just thought I would start a short tutorial on how to insert images in your posts. It is a little different than before but once you do it, you will see it is quite easy. Here is the way to do it if you already have your pictures uploaded to your gallery: 1. Go to the Image Gallery and Upload the Images you want to use. The nice thing about doing this is once the images are in the gallery, you can insert the picture in multiple places. 2. Click on the image or gallery. Click the image you want to insert, then click the finish button.

We normally do not have a problem booking weddings in december. most of the resorts won't host your wedding not because it is Christmas but because the resorts want your guests to stay at the hotel and some even have a requirement that 80% of your guests stay at the resort. Since it looks like you do not need to do a hotel wedding, have you just thought of doing a venue like restaurant, beach, etc.? Or a resort that is not all-inclusive. AI will be the strictest about non-guests coming onto the resort.

does it have to be IN PDC or nearby? If in PDC, usually resorts do not have discos if you are walking distance to clubs like Playacar Palace. You should contact TA Wendy on here. She is an expert regarding PDC. You can contact her HERE! You can read some of our reviews here: Wright Travel Agency ~ Destination Wedding Specialist Reviews HERE

You might want to try one of the BDW Travel Agents. They Specialize in Destination weddings. You can contact them HERE! If you do not know what TA you want to work with, just fill out the form Contact a Destination Wedding Specialist HERE and I will direct you to the best agent that fits your needs. You can read some of our reviews here: Wright Travel Agency ~ Destination Wedding Specialist Reviews HERE We know those resorts really well and just had our agency conference at Moon Palace but also visited Playacar Palace. We had our conference at Playacar last year and I am a Dreams bride.

I have a 6 year old and a 4 year old and they keep me busy so I totally understand. I wish I had advice on how to squeeze more hours in the day.

I also wanted to add that the details, terms and conditions, etc. will be written into your group contract so even though we can give you what we have experienced, in the end, it is what is in your contract that is going to hold the most weight. ----------------------- 1) Q: can you have an event each day you are there or is this just one cocktail and one reception? I'm wanting to have a cocktail welcome party one night. Then the private reception. plus a cocktail send off party A: You get one 3 hours event a day complimentary. Locations and availability vary. 2) Q: When they say free do they mean the fee cost for having a private event is waived or does it also include the include food/drinks for free? A: For their most basic setup and food from the menues that they give you. If you want tiffany chairs, entertainment, lobster, etc. that will cost extra. 3).Q: If you have more than 30 guests do they charge you extra for those guest over regular wedding package count during a qualified FREE Private event? A: if your guests have booked through the block they are free. Guests that book outside the block or via timeshare may get charged. 4). Q: how far in advance will you know you qualify for the "Free Event" or do they just wait until after all checked in and refund you later. A: usually your guests will have booked through the block and paid for the rooms so you know about 30 days out if you qualify for unlimited events or not so you can plan accordingly. If you are really close and someone cancels a booking that changes your unlimited free events to just x-amount of free events, the resort will let you know before you have the event so you can decide if you still want to have them or not. 5) Q: how far in advance can you book your free events? A: You can book these events after you have been assigned a wedding coordinator. Please let me know if you have any other questions. We are an onyx level agency with Palace Resorts and were just there 2 weeks ago for site visits.

Hey Bdwers, Just a quick note to let you know that the site will be down for maintenance tomorrow while we convert to a new platform.

hey all, just bumping because we will start posting the fall webinars soon...

bumping.

I used Maye and would not refer her to any of my clients. For Cabo, I would refer: Yarai Peregrino Memories Weddings & Events Founder/Event Planner Specialist Cell +52(624) 157 0389 Online Number (415) 800 4681 Office: +52 (624) 105 0321 www.memoriesweddingsandevents.com https://www.facebook.com/MemoriesbyYarai? She wrote this article: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/a/tips-on-5-wedding-venues-in-cabo-from-a-cabo-wedding-planner

it usually just takes up to a day for the database to catch up to the membership change....

That is great to hear. Virgilia is a new WTA agent and has almost 30 years travel agent experience. She is very knowledgeable, friendly, prompt at LOVES helping brides with their weddings.

I really can't stress how important it is to use a destination wedding specialist. There are so many more facets to destination weddings than regular individual travel. I know some very experienced agents that won't do destination weddings because of the extra work involved. Have you tried one of the BDW Travel Agents? We Specialize in Destination weddings.

The downsides of using an internet booking engine like Expedia are: 1. Expedia bookings are usually the first to get "bumped" if the resorts sell out. 2. you are not holding any rooms for your guests so if the resort sells out, they are out of luck. You will read pleas from other brides that decided not to do a group block looking for rooms for their family that did not book in time. 3. Room blocks are locked in at a lower rate. As the resort books up, the rate gets higher for internet booked. 4. They need to pay for the entire package at one time. Travel agents can help with payment plans for your guests. 5. If a problem occurs (ie. someone gets sick, storms/weather problems, couple rooming together break up, flight is delayed, wrong resort booked, etc.) do you think you will be able to get much assistance from the internet companies? 6. You are missing out on group perks and Palace has many of them like: free rooms, upgrades, unlimited private events. 7. If YOU are having problems with the resort and wedding department, do you think Expedia will intervene and assist you? We are an ONYX level agency with Palace and have had the COO of Palace Resorts assist our clients when a problem has occurred. Lastly, did you know a TA can usually match or beat internet rates? You could have worked with a TA that could have given you the rates online and also worked to qualify that booking towards some perks.
