It's great to see actual pictures of weddings held at Las Caletas. Thank you! I have to give all of the credit to Leigh, my fabulous photographer! When I first came across Las Caletas, I couldn't find any pictures - so I totally know how you feel! There are a handful ofo girls that have been married there on this forum, so look around - and/or let me know if you need help finding pictures to check out. Have you seen my non-pro pictures or the other girls' weddings? I thought about doing the fans too. Where did you buy them? And how do they set up the table cards and seating cards? I actually bought them off of another girl on this forum - but I think she bought them at Oriental Trading Co. - they have lots of good stuff! I just gave Nicole the fans w/no instructions ... and she set it up all on her own. Oh, I also had a photo mat as a guest book for people to sign, I think they were on the table together. Let me see if I can find a picture from my friends' pictures ... Hmmm - I thought I had a better picture, but here is one - you can see the table that has the photo mat and then 2 large bowl like things w/all of the fans. Maybe the picture was on my video? Also where did you get your idea for the table setting - did you show Nicole pictures? I did show her pictures. I basically showed her pictures of flowers submerged in water, and w/rocks - stuff like that - I like simple. Then I just let her take it from there. At the last minute I told her I wanted the tan table runners - they have a few colors to choose from. Oh yea, then I gave her the aqua sea glass to do something with - I think she just scattered it around the vases. I've been putting together pics for her, but I know that they are slightly limited on what they can do b/c they have to boat everything in. Are you thinking you want something large, or something? For the most part, they can do the typical centerpice stuff as far as I know. Finally -Did you change out of your dress before the boat ride back? I did, but mainly because I wasn't feeling well at all, otherwise I probably would have stayed in my dress. I was a little warm, but not unbearable had I felt better. I changed right before the firedancers came - that's why I am in a different dress in those pictures! Thanks for any feedback or information you can provide!! Oh where to start!? lol Have you read my review? If not, that might be helpful - or the reviews of the other girls on here. let me know if you want help finding those. Heather I'm curious - how many people are you having? Are you doing the deluxe or intimate ceremony? Who will you be using as your photographer? I shouldn't be asking you questions! lol In the end, you have NOTHING to worry about. I could have showed up the day of the wedding w/o planning a thing and I think I would have been just as happy. That place is simply magical.

Hi Heather! I was just married at Las Caletas this June - just over a month ago! I don't have my pictures back yet, but my photographer (Leigh Miller) did put together a slideshow for me - and you can look at that and kind of see what we had. I think the table shots start around slide #89. Keep in mind that I really did very little - I did bring the aqua sea glass you see, but the rest Nicole provided (other than the placecards/fans). Darkroom SlideShare I also did the Trio and DJ - both were very good. I didn't really hear the Trio much since we just had them through the arrival to the cocktail hour - but everyone else said they were good! Let me know if you have any other questions! I'm so excited to see another Las Caletas bride on here! When is your wedding date?

i missed it too. Anny you look stunning! all of your hard work and planning definitely paid off!

holy stairs! wow - you don't need to work out for weeks after that walk. congratulations!

well it becomes sticker if they've already planned on attending the wedding, booked the trip, and then found out kids weren't welcome. was this new information? if not, then she should have considered her options when booking! tough situation.

Jackie - I am so excited that you're doing b-pics, and with Juan! how cool is that?! i am sure they will be fabulous. when i got my b-pics album and had it in the house, i just told Paul - "if you see anything and you don't know what it is, don't dig" - he didn't want to ruin the surprise so he didn't get nosey. hopefully ryan is the same way! maybe you could even use another room - but that might look weird if you and Juan ask to rent a room for an hour! lol

i looked at a lot of cork soled shoes, and i do feel like the cork makes the shoe too casual. but i think shoes are one thing you can have some fun with at the wedding - they only peek out a little - so wear what is most comfy, i'd say! i kind of wish i had added a little color w/my shoes!

here are a couple of places I like ... Polka Dot Design Stationery, Stationary, Personal Stationery, Personalized Stationery, Napkins, Address Labels, Moving Cards...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LENITA!!! I hope you have a fabulous first birthday as Andre's wife!

you're very welcome - i hope it helps! i think i "borrowed" it from Sherri and just changed the content, color, and pictures - but the layout was all hers.

again - you two are clearly so in love, it's beautiful, and inspiring! congratulations!

(attachment) and here was the template website i think i posted earlier too: Wedding Planning Newsletter2.doc

i always say ... a wedding isn't a good wedding unless there's a "funny" story to tell afterwards ... and you definitely got one! sorry this happened, but it sounds like w/the help of a creative SIL you made the best of the situation!

me too! i don't have any though anymore ... maybe i should buy myself some!

awww - beautiful! you two are clearly so in love - and it just shines through! congratulations again!!

what about some nice personalized stationary? maybe her married initials, or even just her first name.

if you do get married at Las Caletas (not sure i knew you were considering that, YAY!) - but if you do, you absolutely don't need an outside WC. sure, you can if you want, but IMO it would be a waste of $$. and 2 site visits ... how fun! i didn't even do 1!

it looks like you guys had so much fun! i love all the bright colors. are you going to give these to him at the wedding? it's so hard to wait!

i did buy some cute thank you cards with a palm tree on them. but since i needed more, and didn't want to spend a lot, i just bought some blank cards (i think at Michaels) and then printed a palm tree and "Thank You" on them - they turned out pretty cute actually! and so cheap!

Paul's 4 nieces LOVED Dreams PV - they were active all day, and certainly never bored. They have the Kids Club but we never took advantage of that, but it's always an option. And they do have an adults only pool for those that don't want to be splashed by kids or whatever.

welcome to the forum, Dee!

welcome! just let us know if you have any questions ... we're here to help!
