**Kat**

I read about your story on your review! *cringe*

I KNOW!! I have wedding countdowns everywhere! On my Facebook page, on my Ipod, and not to mention my wedding party and family are so excited that they are updating me everyday with the count as well lol I can't WAIT, but I am in the same boat as you.. SOOOOOOOOO much to do It would be really great to meet you when we are there. Since we will be at the same hotel at the same time! (Crazy how small this world is! LOL)

I am having the same problem. Well, kind of. My step dad has always been there.. but my dad - not really. I want my step dad to walk me down the aisle but I know that I would also feel kind of awkward having my dad just sitting there watching. To be honest I dont know that my dad would really care all that much.. but I would still feel pretty weird about it.. Ugh lol

I just checked my inbox and it looks like the last time I heard from her is Friday as well. I bet that she just had some back to back weddings and she will get back to you ASAP! Isnt she so great!!!!!?!? I just love her! So you are getting married at Las Caletas the day before me! How exciting!!! If there is anything that we can go in on together or you want to bounce ideas off of each other or something that would be really cool!

You ladies are getting me so excited!! I can't believe our weddings are right around the corner!

I agree with Autumn! My travel agent saved my MOH over $600 from the last time she booked her trip (she went to Dreams PV in October) on the SAME room and an even BETTER flight... she was extremely impressed

OMG! that is so cool! How exciting!

Those don't look too bad! thank you for the link!

Hello ladies!! I am looking for some palm leaf fans! I would love 30-40. Anyone have any they are willing to part with?

No photographer booked yet? Are you deciding between some? I booked Nathan Cordova license to Still - not sure if you have heard of (or are consindering) him but I got to meet him when I was home for Christmas in Portland and he is wonderful. Just a suggestion in case you are still looking

My travel agent is AWESOME. His name is Chuck with Away To Go Travel. His number is 336-855-0060. We book all of our vacations with him and he has saved us (and now our wedding guests) a lot of money!

This is what our travel agent gave us as a general base quote to go off of to post on our wedding website. Dreams Puerto Vallarta All Inclusive Roundtrip Transfers Included Price based on Double Occupancy 7 nights 6 nights 5 nights Deluxe Oceanview $1629.00 $1419.00 $1199.00 Deluxe Oceanview w/balcy $1799.00 $1549.00 $1309.00 Preferred Club Junior Suite $2248.00 $1945.00 $1639.00 Preferred Club Jacuzzi Jr Ste $2529.00 $2197.00 $1849.00 **All rooms will be cross referenced for the entire wedding party ** Sorry it is a little confusing looking. The format that I copied and pasted from didnt translate well to here. I hope you get the idea

It does depend on what you want for sure. The boat ride there and back was a big selling point for us! It added to the anticipation and the originality of our wedding. I mean, how many people can say they went to a wedding on a private beach that they had to take an hour long catamaran ride to get to? Awesome! But that is true that it isnt for everyone!

Quote: Originally Posted by *Nadine* I just used him this past December, and although I haven't gotten my pics yet, I can say that he was awesome. I was actually just watching our wedding video last night (that the hotel did) and he was everywhere in it, but during the ceremony I dont remember seeing him at all. He is super nice and easy to get along with and he works the entire time. My pics should be the last ones he posts until his next wedding in april I loooove your dress!! Thats so great that you should be getting your pictures soon. When is he supposed to have them to you?

Quote: Originally Posted by Future Mrs. Griffith That is a totally small world!! And he knows PV really well so if you are going to be doing a TTD he has tons of great ideas! What hotel are you staying at? We are staying at Dreams PV. What about you? And where is the wedding?

Quote: Originally Posted by ldeavila I too have booked with Nathan and am excited that he will be my photographer. He is so easy to get along with and very accomodating. Another BDW user booked with him and since our weddig dates are so close he agreed to split his traveling and per diem between both of us. How great is that! Not only do we get a great photogpaher, but we save $$$!!! Your date is the day before mine. I wonder if I was who he is splitting with. This is so cool! I cant wait to see how your guys' pics turn out!!

Quote: Originally Posted by Future Mrs. Griffith Autumn used him as Jess said, she is the latest wedding he blogged on his blog. And I believe the wedding before that in PV (trisha was her name I think) is also a BDW bride and she reviewed him in her review. And next up should be Nadine! He is doing my wedding in May and I am honestly so stoked he is my photog, I can't wait to work with him! Thats funny! Our wedding dates are only a few days apart! He talked about having 2 weddings to do the week of my wedding. You must be one of them that he was talking about! that is so cool! Small world!!

Hey everyone! I am getting married in Las Caletas in May. I thought that their photographer was just a little too expensive so I went in search and booked Nathan Cordova. He is great so far. My fiance and I were lucky enough to meet him when we were home for Christmas in Portland this year. I would like to know if anyone else has used him It would be GREAT to see examples more of his work. I obviously have seen what is on his website, but I would love to get some actual feedback on him Anything would be helpful! Thanks SO much!!!

Hello I am a Las Caletas Bride!! (May 11, 2010) and I am in the planning process now. If there is anything that you want to know, I would be happy to pass along what I have learned. I had a few examples of the cakes that they have made also. I personally thought that the photographer was a little too spendy and I ended up booking a GREATTTTTTTTT photographer, Nathan Cordova. license to Still Happy planning!!

Hello I am a Las Caletas bride (May 11. 2010) and I am really excited about it! We are having our guests stay at Dreams Puerto Vallarta as well. My MOH stayed at Dreams PV a few months ago and LOVED it, so that was a easy choice for us. Las Calestas is going to be great. Kelley, my wedding coordinator has been SO helpful so far!! I started planning about 2 1/2 months ago and it has gone so easily! If you want any information I would be happy to tell you what I know

Thank you so much for the warm welcome ladies! It is so cool to read everyone's plans and ideas!! Great way to get motivated!!!

Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much!!
