Amy, thanks so much for posting a review! Please post the pictures as soon as you can...Congrats!

Where is the location going to be? Do you have a few places your normally consider? Or a studio? I was looking at your gallery and there seems to be a lot of different background. I love the train area and some of the big windows showing Chicago!

Missy... Your flowers are amazing. Did the resort to those or did you bring them? All of the girls and guys flowers are really beautiful. I love your dress btw, you look amazing. Congrats again!

Missy! Thanks so much for the great review. Your wedding sounds wonderful. I am glad most things worked out for you. I am sorry they gave you such a hard time on the points. Do you think that they will give you an English translated ceremony script? That does sound like a good idea. I am glad to hear that the group dinners went so well. I might do more of these now. Also, it sounds like you didn't have a rehearsal ceremony run threw? I might request this now. I want to know whats going on! So glad things worked for you. I guess its good to hear you had to much food. Would have for it to be the other way. Its reassuring that your experience went well at the spa. I have heard mixed reviews about it. Congrats on being married. I am off to look at your pictures now!

Jacki - How did you book if not with a group contract? I dont want to get hasseled about the promotions. Thats a huge reason I booked with this hotel. I think its BS how they are handling this with some girls...60 nights is 60 nights We signed some contract I remember. Also we booked 14 nights on Concierge level as well. I hope that counts in my night count. What else did you like about that level? Trying to decide if its worth it.

I think its the motivation I need to start working out more, thats for sure =)

I'd give you ideas but I havnt even thought about mine. As I see good ideas on this site I have been saving them in a file, but thats about it. I saw some really cute beach towls with the person's name embroidered on them...but i was thinking...If your at a resort, don't you have a beach towl? Not to mention packing 30 of them would take a lot of space.

Sign me up please...IMing you now!

Sorry. I was reorganizing my photobucket account... The one I bought The one I bought My Dress I bought to go with the veil The Jacket I want from Etsy

We are having the resort photographer along with our own so there will be plenty of pictures :-) The only person that has worked with us is the DJ and I say that VERY loosely. My FI will be having a talk with someone at the resort when we arrive. So...I'll keep you ladies posted. We have a final total of 135 nights booked which is AWESOME. I can't wait to spend time with 84 of our family and friends who will most likely never be in the same place together ever again. This time tomorrow I will be on a plane headed to Mexico! I cant wait to read your review and see your pictures! Congrats!!! I am sure it will be amazing

Very nice. I love the purple shoes =)

I love love love the masks. Did everyone have one? Did you set them out for people? How did that work. I think its great idea. Makes for a beautiful picture!

They are amazing! I love how bright and clear everything is. Your dress is amazing btw

They said all of them have been down. https://www.palaceresorts.com/Groups...?GroupID=40160 Thats the link. I have it on my wedding website so people can click on it and book their hotel =) Then I get credit for the rooms.

My group booking link has been down for the last week. I am finding this very annoying...Anyone else having this problem. The hotel said all there group booking links are down.

I cant view the photos ..are they still there?

Wow..everything is so well done. It looks amazing. Thanks so much for sharing and being so detailed!

Did you have a dance floor?

I feel like its still steep bc there is a local DJ (that is on the forum) who charges less and offers more for his services. The resort DJ is definitely willing to work with you, but I feel like renting the equipment and using your IPOD is better. From what I hear its almost like having a DJ anyways bc they have someone man the station for you. Which resort DJ are you working with? It seems as tho they have two vendors they work with. J&S and another one. Did either do stages or do you need to go to another vendor for that? Are you able to share any price sheets you got from them? If so email me at [email protected] Thanks!
