As far as how i got castaways: we booked 14mnth prior to the wedding day, and castaway was then offered and that what we agreed on. Then they changed it, and said its no longer available... it was 7mnth prior the wedding, and we havent paid for trips yet... i showed them all the emails where castaway was confirmed and told them im still under the time frame where i can walk away and go to another resort for wedding and take my 35guests with me

the whole reception went by so fast, that i didnt even have time to tip anyone, even though had all intentions...

For flowers i brought my own Real touch bouqets, and im so glad i did. The bouqet that the package came, was just perfect. It was whte roses that i picked, But i didnt use it... cause i had my own bouqets. Ceremony was by the fountain and reception at the castaway terrace. As far as extras...i did not do any extras.We just paid for the extra 10ppl that we had.We did have fire dancers(2ppl) I got extra boutoniers...green orchids to math the rest of the (reall touch bouqets)but they were just ok... get roses instead.... and again like i said earlier, do not upgrade the cake.....

For the welcome dinner they told us they will set us up at the main buffet all together 32ppl, on saturday i asked there manager to confirm. on Sunday meeting with WC at 4pm i had her call the Carnival(buffet) to confirm if it was allset since i had no time to run back in there and check, and they told yes. We arrived at 6.30. they was nothing set up. they were trying to sit us down, 4ppl per table close to each other, I was PISSED! we stood in the middle of the room like idiots... they didnt want to ruin the look of the restaurant by having so many tables together(i asked them to make a U shape)30min later they end up doing it. I was a little angry with that. But it turned out ok. I end up going with Divine, cause we decided on having the video(im glad we did) Ladies i dont want u to think im a pitbull, but i felt like i had to speak up and bark at times to get what i was suppose to. I was told Video is only for the ceremony, but ceremony is only 15min...but in package we in title for 30 min, So i had to speak to the resort ppl prior, and push it to have videographer come to my room for getting ready. They were going to charge me $150 extra, but i was very firm and told them, My package comes with 30min, so make it fair! they did! Dani was our videographer, he was super! Video looks awesome, i wish i could somehow attach it, but its 30min too long We used DJmannia, since music was very important for us. They were excellent in communication, and very reliable, But do i think it was worse the $ we paid?NO!!!! if u can do it cheaper with resort dj, go for it. Reception is only 3hrs. and the resort lets u go till 9.30. We had 35ppl and i did not upgrade the cake. It was HUGE!!! we had soooo much cake left! Silvia my WC was awesome, she decorated the place with my decor in exact way i wanted her. For coctail hour: food was great, one thing that ppl kept asking me,was why calamari had no dipping red sauce?i think its just a cultural think.... but my answer was: i did not want u guys get messy red sauce on ur nice outfit:)wink wink I brought my own chair sashes and runners, so worse it

Hey there, it was funny to see you in another cart!!!! i was hoping i would somehow see you by the pool:)but didnt:)

ladies..i am back from our weddingmoon!It was perfect! WC got everything under control when u get there.... we arrived saturday, wedding was monday. I ran around like chicken saturday and sunday, and was cool as a cucumber on Monday! The only part that was screwed up was our welcome dinner... I was very not for the resort photographer, and calling them cookie cutter factory, and hired an outside photographer, BUT still had 24 pic from the resort photographer, even though they dont use the best equipment. I was VERY impressed with their work ethics, responsobility and work they deliverd...DO NOT BE afraid to use them for the whole wedding photography. Video came out awesome also:) more details to follow this week:) ask away ladies...

hey guys:)my suitcases are packed, and we are ready to go:)leaving in the morning, wedding on monday.. it creeped up soooo fast. Promise to come back with some pictures and some good info:) but for now, pray for some good weather for me:)Cheers!

so im starting to think that all this perks in the package are such a BS, so with this said, video that comes in the package 30mn(ceremony only)is kind of a gimmick. The ceremony is only 10-20min and they cant do a whole 30min anyway, if u want them to come to the room or stay for a bit for a coctail hour(to make it fair and give you 30 min)u have to pay extra...thats absurt i think!

does anyone has prices for the video?

@chrisdeluca: i was in the same boat as you. I sent out STD 11mnth before, it also did say on my STD , formal invitation to follow, please RSVP online to get yours, When i was sending out my formal invites i already knew who was going or not, i planned on sending them out to ppl who was booked and going, BUT at the end said screw it, and send it to everyone as a formal thing...oh well... i gave all my people to RSVP 8wks prior to departure. Good luck

I agree with you Inga!, but nothing we can do at this point, after everything is booked and paid for!
