It seems as if everyone is using DJ Doremixx. Is that the only option? Can anyone comment about them? What is included in the $300/hr? Thanks

It was wonderful. Thanks for setting this up. I agree that it would be great to get menu options. Thnaks

anyone have any thoughts on music for the cermony? i can't figure out the options. thanks

Can you please send me the flower options as well? You shouldn't have opened up the suggestion. haha. Thanks for your help, my email is [email protected]

would you mind emailing me the menus? my email is [email protected] i would love to know the options. i am doing the ultimate package too but our wedding is not till july. are you going to have over or under 40 people? i think that is the number to determine sitdown or buffet. thanks

Does this mean this is my actual appointment or do I need to go ahead and book that myself? Also, my TA contacted the resort about the free nights with 6 rooms being booked. She said that she has to submit all the info the week before and then she'll find out what we get. Does anyone know how this works? We are staying for a week, but 3 are staying 4 nights, 1 staying for 3 nights, and 1 staying for 6 nights. How do we get comped if we've already paid thru our TA? She doesn't have the details of how this works. OMG... less than 2 weeks to go!! from what my ta told me, i think you would get credit for 3 nights because that is the least number since they aren't all the same. you should tell your ta you want a check for that amount (crediit for 3 nights) then you can do with it what you want. pretty sure that is how it works.

sorry for the three time thread.....my computer was moving slow and i got impatient

Trying to decide between the dreams of love or the ultimate dreams wedding packages. Which one have you picked? I know there is a difference in menu (silver or gold) but not sure yet if we will have a buffet or a sit down bc of the # of people. Does anyone know what the "live mexican musician trio" is? Is it a mariachi band? Did anyone pick the ultimate package? is it worth the extra expense?

You are more than welcome to contact her if you want, she is great!! Here is her info. Sharon Gallo [email protected] 1-800-233-3158. I actually just have all my guest contact her and she does everything. What I did was I created a wedding website with information about the trip, pricing information and her contact stuff. Then I sent out message in the bottles as my save the dates and I put our wedding website on their for a reference about the wedding along with her info. And everyone just contacts her!!!

I love this blog. Thanks everyone for sharing their experiences. 2011 seems so far away but I guess it will happen quickly

Our TA simply figured out the dollar amount of 14 nights, which was $4452. My fiance and I have booked the ocean front room and it was around $2800 I believe for both of us. They subtracted that from the $4452 and cut us a check for the remainder. I then used that to divide it up among the bridal party, several of them are tight on cash and I am thrilled they are coming, so it was a nice surprise for them when they got about $250 back each. I am not sure how other TAs do this, but giving us the check to then split was so much easier than saying "Take this night off this room, and this off that room" that would have been way to confusing! The best part of doing it this way was we got our entire stay free. I felt bad at first, because I received a free room and my guests were paying, but the money I saved from the room is definitely going to make everyone else's experience better because I can use that money for other excursions for everyone Thanks you so much for sharing details on how this promo works. What a great idea to organize excursions for your guests!!
