I will post her response to my email regarding hair, makeup, if they have extra tulle, current pictures of weddings. I am looking forward to your post re: the response you received from Jacy. I'd love to see what info she gave you. I have sent emails and don't seem to get some of the questions answered.

Awww, I think they look great. We are so critical of our own work, aren't we? You did a great job! Everyone will love them.

I love the groom's and gm's shirts! Off to the mall to see if I can find them or something very similar. Thanks for sharing!

I LOVE that hoodie! Adorable!

You look beautiful in your dress!

Your boxes look great! Very pretty color combo!

Does anyone know anything about the availability of chair covers at DPA? I have bought my own sashes by am not sure if I need to also buy my own chair covers. I want to cover the chairs in the gazebo for our ceremony. Do they have these to use or rent? If I buy, I suppose I will need to know the size of the chairs? I am sending an email to Jacy to ask but sometimes takes a while to get a response. This board always seems to have quick great response. TIA

Thank you for the responses. I did call the resort and was told that the 5 rooms DO include the bride's/groom's room. We ended up booking the honeymoon suite anyhow. Thanks for the help. You gals know more than the TA does!

I have a question and I'm hoping someone is able to answer it. In order to receive the free wedding package I know that a minimum of 5 rooms is required. Does the bride and groom count as one room or is it 5 rooms in addition to the bride/groom room? Thanks!

Very nice ! Those are a great idea.

This is a wonderful thread! Thank you to everyone. There are things here that I never even thought of. I just love these boards!!!

Well, it looks like we all feel the same. We will all support one another. As they say, don't sweat the small stuff. That is going to be my thinking during this planning process. After all, I am going to a great destination to renew the vows I said years ago to an amazing man that has loved me, provided for me and always put me before himself for the last 34+ years (will be 35 at vow renewal). Our wedding in 1974 was a huge "all the trimmings" formal affair when we were still kids (him 21 and me 19). This time around is going to be relaxed and fun. So we will go with the flow and love every minute b/c this is all icing on the cake to us. We have had a wonderful life together, have 2 beautiful children that have grown into amazing adults. What could diminish any of that? Bring on DPA !!

I will be following this thread closely. We are having our vow renewal at DPA on October 15, 2009. Originally, we had selected Riu Ocho Rios but have since changed to DPA. The review on TripAdvisor made me question our decision to switch locations. This thread has helped immensely. I look forward to the reviews after some of you return from your weddings. Thanks to everyone for your posts and the helpful info.

Thank you all for your warm welcome!

My hairdresser is coming with me but she does not do make-up.
