We really liked her. She did an awesome job and I really sat and listened. My guests raved about her as well!

SIde note, They have been responding to my emailed and said they are backloged and will email when my photos are ready so I will let you know how it all turns out. I am sure it will be fine but I also had a friend from home bring their professional camera just in case. Her CDs of pics will be here by the end of thweek. So I will have more and better pictures then.

ALSO - If you use Caribe Photography thru the resort, Advice have someone pay attention to what you need to do to get your proofs. In all the excitement I forgot to get the card from the photographer and now I have been emailing with the Caribe to figure out how to get my photos and what not. I think if there is one thing I would have gone back to do again I might rethink the budget and bring my own photographer or paid the outside vendor. Not sure how I feel yet. I LOVED our photogrpaher and he was great but I think before we left I should have emailed more with them to figure out exactly how POST wedding was going to work to get the proofs and whatnot

Welcome Party - You know I can't remember if anyone played Beer Pong but I know there was some Flip cup going on and it was fun! It was really laid back and you don't need decorations down there! Everyone kinda spreads out on the beach. One night we took over the "Wave Lounge" which is near the pools at the Prem Section BUILDING 1. The next night we took over the Mojita Lounge and outside of it We went to the Teen club 2 nights and yes it turns into a dance club. I know I only went one night but my friends raved about it. I think everyone was pretty sauced up when they would finally get there. You really can go to any of them. We brought our own IHOME with us for the Welcome party which was PERFECT for background noise then we would take it to the Wave Lounge to have music

The one BIG piece of advice I can give is just be willing to give a little and let go of control. Everything is not going to go PERFECT but it will go GREAT! I didn't notice little things till I went and looked back at the pictures. Also I feel like if you are easygoing witht the staff they will go above and beyond. I think by the time I got there I wasn't too worried I will say THANK YOU to TISH for some advice because I had someone from my group stand with the music guy for the ceremony and the first dances. She said she only had to help him once but it was nice to know she was there if he messed up. Once we got into the dancing at the reception he just sat there and let it play. I will say too THEY CUT YOU off at the end time. so make sure if there are songs you really want to put then in the early to mifddle part of the night.

They were all Real Touch Flowers.....I can recommend the seller on Etsy that did them if you like. They were PERFECT!!!

Hey Ladies! I am back and it was AWESOME!!!!! It was everything i thought it would be Heres a pic!

Iseral? Short little tiny guy....Can't remember how to spell his name!

Hi Ladies, We just got back and I am wiped but after I catch up on work I will tell you all about it!!! It was GREAT!!! I had little to no problems and the ones I did have we my fault and not the staffs. For example I forgot the Groomsmen butonniers in the room 30 min before the ceremoney but they ran back and got them for me. It was Was WINDY on the beach but again nothing anyone could do about it. I had no real problems with music and my set-up fee was only $80 but I didn't have that much to set-up. I will post full review and what not this week!

Hi ladies!! Just checking in So far so good. They treat you like a princess here. I don't have my wedding till Sunday so just having fun in the suN!!!!

Ok Ladies I leave for the airport in an hour!!! I will try to give you guys an update while I am down there! Thank you everyone for your support and all the help!!!!!

I leave tomorrow

I leave tomorrow ladies!!!! So excited!!!!

Thanks....I think I was about on the same wavelength tipping and now I know to assign someone to make sure no one touches the playlist Thanks girl you a lifesaver!

Read th review Good JOB!!!!! I think most of your hiccups I can handle except the Set-up fee. There is no way I budgeted for 65 people but my FMIL is going to be at the wedding coordinator meeting with me and she is scarey so hopefully we can bring it down. Also on the tipping to be quite honest for the reception I am considering the "set-up" fee the overall tip and then I was going to tip the onsite WC but not that much. The script doesn't worry me but the Ipod thing does. Can you tell me more of how it got off track. i like to think I made mine idiot proof but you never know

CONGRATS!!! A little girl! That is awesome!!!!

Love all the pics!!!! I leave on Tuesday!!! So excited!!!

I agree with murmel! Be slow sending them over.
