Most photographers are approved except for Del Sol. However if you choose a different photographer other then the four that are listed on the Lomas site you will have to pay either a $500 fee or a 3 night stay a the hotel. -
FYI: do not book with any photographer without first checking with Fabio that they will not be charged an outside vendor fee, and keep all emails.

There is also a wedding 1 hour before mine. I hope she doesn't use the beach for her ceremony though (keeping fingers crossed).

Fabio said that if we want someone to MC the event then we should hire a seperate MC for $850. He said the DJ's are very good as DJ's and they do have a pretty comprehensive song list. Plus if you want any additional songs you could provide them either with Ipod or possibly by sending MP3's (I'm going to ask that question at the site visit). We are going to hire a DJ and and MC so it feels like a regular wedding. I think that if we were getting married at home we would be spending more than $2000 for music anyway. -
What I was planning on doing is getting 1 day shipping and shipping it out the day before we left, therefore even if it comes a couple of days late it will still be before the wedding.

If we wanted to add a personal touch to the reception or
ceremony can we fly in our own candles or other additional items?
Yes you may bring your own items, please keep in mind:
No pre-shipments are allowed, please arrange for the items to arrive with you or your group.
Please be advised that all décor items must be ready to be set up. If assembly is necessary our onsite coordination team could apply a fee for décor.[/b] -
I am compiling a list of questions to lomas and karisma for my site visit next week. If anyone has specific questions they want me to ask please post them here or email me at [email protected]
thanks

If anyone has booked with Claudia pictures or her husband for videography directly you should forward Fabio or Tiffany the price list that she or Mike gave you so he can make sure that they are the same prices that Lomas charges and he should tell you in an email that there will not be an outside broker fee. I did that and he said that we can use them and not have to pay an outside broker fee.

Have you guys seen the latest reviews on Trip Advisor?? They aren't so great. I hope they get all their kinks worked out soon!

I think that the first couple of months of any resort opening will have some kinks to work out. Plumbing seemed to be the major problem through out all the bad reviews and I'm sure they will work it out because Azul Beach is just down the road and they seem to be working fine. I'm sure they both use the same plumbing systems. All the reviews however emphasized how amazing the food and service were and that's really important. I'm hoping that all the palm trees are fully grown in by May, because right now a lot of them look naked.

Hiii Congrats! I live in NY and I'm sure your wedding will be beautiful here.

I love LJ, last year I watched Cashmir Mafia and they cancelled that too. There are so few good chick shows on TV these days. Big Shots was really good too. Atleast I still have my "Dirty Sexy Money"

How can you receive more points on here? I think I lost all my points by opening attachments.

I just got this responce from Fabio after he had a pretty quick turnaround time to one of my emails:
"My pleasure! I'm trying to improve those comments from our Brides on public blogs!"
I guess they are reading and listening.

After speaking with Fabio today he said each reception location has a # of guests requirements and if the wedding does not fall within the requirement you cannot use the reception place, you can only choose places that you have the right amount of people for.
He also said we have send him our complete list ceremony and reception choices and other preferences 90 days prior to the wedding, then 60 days prior we provide the final list with any changes and 30 days prior the final payment is due. We can send him our preferences now but we cannot make a final request until 90 days prior. He will not be able to lock anything down for us before that. That goes for anything, flowers, DJ, locations, canopies, etc.

Is anyone using the videographer from Claudia's photo (it's her husbands company)? We booked him for our date but he didnt require a deposit or a contract, I'm wondering if this is common practice for them and I'm supposed to contact Lomas to figure all that out.

Does the deposit refer to the deposit to hold the date or deposits for the private dinner? -
Hey Ladies,
I'm going on my site visit over Thanksgiving, if you want to put together a list of questions to ask when I meet with Lomas and the onsite WC I would be happy to get them answered.

On another note, I just found a cute little starfish tea light holder here:

How did you get the number for Lomas Travel? I have asked Fabio a few times if I can contact them to discuss various details and he said that I shouldnt and I just make all my requests through him (even though it takes him weeks to reply)
