Very cool! You look awesome! Congratulations

We're getting married on October 20, 2011. I think they're a little behind because the wedding planner that was doing my wedding left. His name was Patrick and he was awesome. I met him in November when I went down for my site visit. They have replaced him but I think they're still trying to get it together. His boss is Inge van Roon and she is the one you'll be hearing from first. She's very nice also. E2 is Edwina's business and she is a wedding planner. The Westin rents things from her - chairs, decor, etc. If I had to do it again I'd work exclusively with her. PM IIf If you want I'll pm you her info.

Hi ladies. I am getting married at the Westin Aruba on October 20, 2011. We are legally getting married at home at town hall. We will celebrate the date of the ceremony in Aruba. It is much easier and cheaper too. I think it costs another $500 for the legal wedding.

Hi. I haven't been on this thread for a while. I'm getting married October 20, 2011 at the Westin Aruba. Just ordered my bridesmaids dresses. 34 Booked + bride and groom

Hi. Do you still have the dark orange satin ribbon and plastic bags? Will pm you.

I haven't heard of a Bonny. The only person I've had any dealings with other than the Westin is Edwina Werleman from E2. Her email is [email protected]. She is the nicest woman and she sincerely wants all brides to be happy. I wanted to rent lanterns and a chuppah from her and I got a price which was too high for me. She came down in her price and is willing to negotiate. I would HIGHLY recommend her. If I were you I would email her just to get a feel from her. I think you'll be surprised how much she wants to help.

Thanks TraceySteve. Any help would be great. I want to talk to my WC and ask her about it. I mean, a service charge is like tipping right? I don't mind paying if the vendors are going to get it but I don't want to have to tip on top of that. I'm very confused about all this.

Hi. I am getting married at the Westin in October. The Westin adds approximately 17% service charge to everything. My question is are you all paying a service charge at your hotel? I understand on the food, drinks, etc. but they have also booked my photographer, florist, d.j. and steel pan player. They are adding that service charge to everything. I was going to hire a woman myself for some other decor and they kind of just took over. I don't mind having them do it (less work for me) but now I will have to pay a service charge for that too. I plan on tipping all my vendors very well but I'm wondering who is getting the money that Westin is collecting on the service charge? Do the vendors get that and if not why is the Westin collecting it? Any help would be appreciated. Kathie

I am attaching a picture of napkin rings. I don't even know where I got it from. Does anyone recognize it and can you tell me where to buy the fabric for the napkin ring? Would appreicate any help or other suggestions for rings. I bought little starfish and I want to make this. Thanks! napkin rings.bmp
