I don't think the sax is always in the group but it was perfect. We were surprised there wasn't a bass but they had midi tracks that they played with and it sounded just fine. A lot of bands do that. The music started around dinner time so we actually didn't have any down time. We were told we could hook up our ipod if we wanted to or use their music but we really didn't need to. The band played pop/jazz during dinner and we requested some latin, rock, salsa type music during dancing. If you specify certain songs they'll probably do it. They did our first dance song too and it was great! -Laura Thanks so much Laura. We have requested a latin versitile band. Almost all of our guests are spanish speakers so we plan on using an IPod or premixing a couple CD's with English (hip-hop, 80's) and Reggaeton during their down time! I'm ready to sign the contract, but Carlos has not responded and its so frustrating. We had a contract and were ready to sign in Jan but we ended up switching venues so we no longer needed to rent a dance floor/ stage from them. Now we are waiting for a revised contract from them but he hasn't sent it even though we've sent a number of emails. Our WC at the Mayan told us that they are realiable so we've decided to keep trying!

He was a new contact for Las Caletas so now they know what to expect with him. He only wanted to bring his diatonic harp which limits the song choice. It's a good the my husband and I are pro musicians and had a friend that could go at the last minute. It worked out perfectly. -Laura That's where we are getting our band too! How many members did they have? What type of music did they play? What did you use in the down time when they band was not playing?? (sorry, its just the first review I've read about a vendor we are using!) TIA!

How exciting!!! I didn't realize you were having a LC in Maui!!!

Yay!!! Is this the first BDW- Hawaii wedding?

Welcome!!! Which Fiesta Americana is it??

Great job Amanda!!! I haven't touched my website in a couple of months (its exhausting work!) But you've motivated me to update it!

I'm planning on making these too!!! I love them!

Leigh brought this up a couple of weeks ago and I had a funny nightmare/dream a couple days later- I was on my way to the church and I hated my dress so I told my cousin to take me to Target since they sold dresses there. She was pissed and went straight to the church instead, but when we arrived to the church, there was a bridal salon adjacent to it and there were a ton of women shopping! I made was trying on dresses when the priest said he would leave if I didn't make my entrence! then I woke up! haha!

Kelly~ Kelly, the point system is based on your weight. the lower the points the lower your weight.

Yay Jen!!! Congrats!

I'm planning on using trendymob for lounge rentals if we can budget them. They have great prices. Karalane- does the Riu allow outside vendors? Will you be able to use the rentals? I've tried goolgling "toldos de bambu" using the mexico google site but I haven't found any luck. But I'm sure they have to have some sort of home improvement store. I'll keep searching.

I've never seen this magazine.

Keep that in mind when you need a question answered. Good Luck! I have to add. It is a little slower in Mexico but Marilu at Dreams is not the standard. She takes weeks to reply! My WC at the Mayan resonds w/ in 24 hours! He's great! Most of the vendors I've contacted respond w/in 1 week however there are a couple of photogs I contacted who never responded.

How exciting!!

Yay!!! Congrats Brenda!!!
