anyone have a pic of inside the lobster pot?

Are there any private indoor areas?

or raining

does anyone know if there are any indoor options incase its realllly hot

do you mean the on eoutside the mexican restaurant?

Ive see the dance floo set up at the mexican resturant outside but that was it. My wedding is small so im sure about what options there are for a big wedding. one of the prevoius brides posted it I just dont remeber it. She said they had a tent on the beach for a big wedding and I think you get a restuarnt to yourself but im not sure about that one. I posted the menu in the thread. Oh if you want the buffet option I have them too but they were to big to post i can email them to you if you want.

the reception can be private for $200 extra or they have three places outside for free If you get the second package. Its is $41 extra per person over the 25 people

the dress is sooo prettyl!!!

can anyone tell me the setup for cocktail hour?

Graciela i saw a dance floor at the reception, was that extra ?

did you have any guests not staying at the hotel, i was wondering if they really charge 100 per guest to come to the wedding

Soon2BePowers, what did the resort charge you to bring in an outside photographer?

Arey threw in centerpiece as a gift to us (Lupita was not happy about this)! YEAH! do you mean the music for the recpetion or the ceremony was thown in for free, i didnt want to rent a dj because of the price and my wedding party is really small but i still wanted a "first dance" and i am not sure how that works.

Wow what a relief. I will definitely be more in contact with adrianna now. It sounds like it was just wonderful i am soo happy for you. and the pics are beautiful!!!

oh by flowers i mean centerpieces, if you get anything else like flowers for decorations, let me know

i already have the flowers that they offer i posted some on here but not all of them there were alot. if you give me your email i can send the books to you. I also have the beach set ups

congtrats , come and see the valentin thread i am getting married three wks before you

I am sooo happy that everything was great. Congratulations!!!! and thanks for the quick notes puts me more at ease.

soon to be powers should be back any day now an posting a review she will be a good judge of how things are going to go ,if you wanna wait for her review. however, that being said i find this place extemely hard to deal and am not sure that it was worth the stress. it has the beautiful chapel i wanted but the coodinaters are makig it very hard to relax. i am not sure if i would have chosen this place had i known it was going to be this stressful. the resort thoigh seems t be outstanding based on regualr guest reviews.

Have a great time!!!!, cant wait for your review.

I have yet to get a group rate from the wc i booked online with orbitz they are having a 200 off sale we paid about $2000 for 7 nights not sure about the El dorado
