The $1000 photog fee at the Melia also helped me rule them out of my top choices as well as I hear the Melia property is HUGE I wanted something more cozy. I am booked at Dreams PC because i liked there reception sites better and the property was a perfect fit for us. Deyanira and Sharon are the coordinators I work with and they usually get back to me within 2-3 business days when I email them.
Thanks for sharing that is great, I decide to use a TA too. I'm hoping we can get some decent rates on airfare, right now we are gettin quotes around $400 from Baltimore
