Congrats on booking at PPC! I think you've made an excellent choice! Happy planning!

I'm glad I came across your post! Thats the same menu option I choose.

I'm not sure if you know this or not, but Arrecife is PPC's preferred vendor. Any other photographer will cost you a $1000 outside vendor fee PLUS whatever that outside vendor is charging you for their services. I'm using Arrecife for my wedding at PPC this July. They have been really nice! Although, since they have received my payment, its been harder to get a hold of them. That's been the only frustrating part. Happy Planning! Jenn

Thank you Julia!! I also would love to know any tips regarding the iPod dock. I know that it also comes with a Mic and Speaker which is nice. I'm just putting songs on my iPod and categorizing them (e.g. ceremony, reception eating, reception dancing, first dance newlyweds/mom/dad, etc…) I'm hoping that makes it easy enough.

Does anyone know if we can take our resort bracelets off on the wedding day? I'm trying to decide if I need a nice bracelet to cover the resort one or not. Thanks for your help! Jenn

Shoe question: If you have had/will have your wedding ceremony at the gazebo, can you wear heels or should you wear flats? I know this has been asked before, but there are so many pages to go back through and read again to find the answer. I appreciate the help!! Jenn

Quote: Originally Posted by kissta I also chose the Silver package which is $2550 USD. It includes photographer and videographer for getting ready, the ceremony, and the reception. Thanks to Tisha and you for your responses. Arrecife didn't email me pricing for "bundled" photo/video packages...they sent me pricing for photography and separate pricing for videography. It all seems a little too pricey for what we get but I don't have patience to research better options available (including the $1000 outside vendor fee) I'm wondering if either of you or anyone else has done the leg work and come across a better deal? Thanks again, Jenn

Oh and one more question....if I paid the $500 to reserve the gazebo for the ceremony, can I switch to the beach area in front of the gazebo if I change my mind when I get there? I find the beach photos incredibly beautiful but I think I'll need the shade of the gazebo since my wedding is July 2nd which will be HOT! Thanks again ladies! I love this forum! Jenn

Hi ladies! I'm deciding on which Arrecife photography package I want but they don't mention a videographer in any of the packages. Does anyone know if they offer video as well? Or do I need to find another vendor for that? Thanks so much!! Jenn

How did it go with the Allure 8862??? Jenn

beautiful as well

Would love to see how that looks on you!! Love the back!!

I know eh?! I saw that post a while back...went out and tried the dress on...fell in love with it...now I own it too! lol That's my dress Definitely worth a try if your going dress shopping!!

I'm running it by the FI tonight! lol

You literally have the world at your finger tips when it comes to choosing the resort! Definitely not an easy task! Yes, it gets easier once you decide on the resort! At least so far its been the case for me

Thats a beautiful version and I love the cello replacement the vocal parts!

I've noticed that many DW brides on here went with non-tradional DW dresses. Same here! lol (Allure 8862) Just wondering if anyone has feedback on removing the crinoline in exchange for a hoop to make the dress a bit cooler? Or any other suggestions? My wedding is going to be in July in the Caribbean...so VERY HOT! Thanks, Jenn

Your Welcome! I think you made a great choice of resort too BTW!! Jenn
