Naturally Im confused because normally the wait-staff asks each guests what they will be having for dinner at the reception. Did any of you come across this same sitatuion if so, how do you plan on going about this? Will you be adding menu cards to your invitations? sending out emails? For any brides that have already gottten married I would love to know how you handled it! Thanks in advance for response! You have to pick one of the menu options on the gold or silver package as your reception dinner.

I am so sorry that your photographer cancelled! That's awful. I may still have some information on my computer at home for some of the photographers I was lookiing at if you are interested. I agree about the house photographer at EPM. I wasn't thrilled with his pics either.

Kelly Hildebrandt...calling, Kelly Hildebrandt Dude, that's pretty funny. I thought I was cool because I would still have good initials after wedlock, going from JD to JR. However, being able to keep my exact same name would be **cha-ching** heehee.

I am of the same opinion as many of the others. Yes, you look great in this dress but you look AMAZING in the Nicole Miller gowns!

I was lucky.....mine has put the seat down since day 1. No training required!

Both the dresses look great on you. I LOOOOVE Nicole Miller!

I got my Nicole Miller at Wedding Atelier on 5th also!!! I had a great time at that store. It's a great bridal salon. I highly recommend! I got the Yoke gown, style EA0008.

Kamila does not have the date set yet. She is waiting to see how many girls she gets and when everyone will be available. In her email, she just said, "later this summer". Let me know.

Here is the link to her special..... Boudoir Special! Kamharrisphoto’s Weblog

I just got an email from Kamila Harris this morning. She is offering a GREAT special at her PA studio later this summer. $200 for a 2 hour shoot without hair and makeup and $350 with hair and make up. If anyone is interested, email me at [email protected]. I would be willing to pick girls up in Manhattan at a central location and drive out there. I have a Dodge Durango that seats 8 people.

My Dad and one other person who I haven't figured out yet.

Congrats and welcome from a fellow Excellence bride!

I don't know if you're a wine and cheese person, but I sure am and I think their selections are outstanding! Even if we do not end up going there for the BDW happy hour - it's definitely a place worth checking out.

How about a nice wine bar..... UVA is very nice and they have an outdoor patio and private room. UVA

I got my dress at Wedding Atelier: Shop designer wedding gowns, bridal veils, wedding shoes, and bridal accessories in our New York bridal shop. Had a wonderful experience there and highly recommend.

I scheduled the catamaran to leave the dock at 1pm and we are being picked up from the resort at 12noon. The price I was quoted includes round trip transportation from the resort, open bar, dry snacks, snorkle gear and a sound system for music. We have 30 to 40 people expected.

Here is the package offered by Danielle Fletcher. She would come to NY September 25th - 27th. Email me by the end of the weekend if you are interested with your name and email address and I will give your information to her. Fashion Boudoir by Danielle Fletcher | San Francisco | New York | LA | Paris | London | Chicago 2 hour shoot, 2 hair/makeup looks (about 4 hours in total) AND I'm going to include the 5x7 Hardbound SexyBook with 30 images DVD of all your ordered images to view (not for self-printing) $1600 including all travel expenses that's a savings of $100 off the top plus about $300 per person in travel expenses. It is expensive but her pictures are very nice.

Sounds like a plan, Maria. Thanks! Good luck!

It is definitely an old boat - 1984. It is from albatros. For our group, though - it looks perfect. If you want something really fancy, speak to Irma at Albatros. She is very nice, quick to respond and quotes good prices. Catamaran Charter Gallery: Next Wave

Quote: Originally Posted by soon2bePowers I believe tere&James is correct that CancunCatamrans does not own the boats. BUT remember if you get prices from Albatros to make sure it includes transportation. $44 for transportation, 4 hour sailing, snorkeling w/equipment, open bar and dry snacks all of which is private is the best deal I found when looking. *Plus when we arrived at the marina it was really busy, lots of people were standing around. We walked right past the starring people (many of which made comments) and headed towards the catamaran. The marina is full of Albatros boats. Albatros was recommended by Excellence Playa Mujeres. Albatros does NOT include transportation in their price quotes. I got a price of $2,000 for 4 hours plus an additional $12pp for round trip transportation. Since I am expecting 40 people, this added another $480 to the trip. I wound up booking Cancun Catamarans for $2,250 which was less expensive but then wound up adding top shelf open bar for an additional $120 which made both companies pretty much the same price.

Have a great time & let us know how it goes. I just booked the "Next Wave" with Cancun Catamarans. I am super excited!
