JD Hall Wedding

I am planning just purchasing the whole disc as well and have them print out the 50 free pics in the album and you also get a 30 minute edited dvd of the ceromny which is really nice. I would love to know what the actually price is for the whole disc as well...and does anyone know if they only accept cash or can you add this into your wedding invoice? Â

Just spoke to my TA and she said that Gabrielle has notified her of the changes and that she does have all the filies. PHEWWWW

Check out our new mamogram i created

LOVED YOUR PICS, made me tear up a little for the excitement of my own!!!! CONGRADS!!! Anyone have pics of the jacuzzi area being the cocktail hour, that's what I have reserved and I was just wondering what their standard set-up is so that I can get decor or lighting if its needed. I have the ultimate package.

I am booked for the honeymoon suite, and if I need to make any changes I have until 60 days prior to wedding to do so. We like you are making it our honeymoon too, and staying a total of 10 nights. I am hoping to be upgraded to the master suite when we get there. Because I want me and my girls to get ready there and hopefully have enough room. I am going to schedule for the bridal suite to get all of the girls hair/make-up and nails done the morning of the wedding but then I want all of us to get ready in my suite and have some glasses of champagne and take pics before the ceremony.

I am also wanting the bamboo looking chairs that they have on their website!!! Anyone know if these are avilable and price??? I'm really excited 15 booked so far!!!!

Just a little update, because I'm excited, but we just mailed out our save the dates last week and we already have 9 adults, 1 kid and us booked already!!!! I can't wait for 4/30/11, so for any of you girls that are there from 4/27/11-5/7/11, we will see you then.

Everyones told me to remember its for a wedding first and most importantly and DRC offers an excursion into cancun which inc. a bar crawl (I see on their excursions list) and theres boat trips etc. It is a shame about the shows as I enjoy them but some of my guests wouldnt be into that anyway x Kerry, Do you think you can email me the excursions list and prices if you have it [email protected] THX

Does anyone know that if I brought my own decor items for the reception, is there a set-up fee or is it included in my ultimate package?

Did you get a dj or just use the sound system?

Glad to know things come together in the end. I didn't get my contract for my date until last week after trying to book in April - wedding is less than a month away! I did get an email saying I had the date after a month, though. Also, I am using the resort photographer, but want to do TTD the next day. Should I schedule another appointment (and how much would it be?) or do will they do the shoot then and just charge for the pics chosen? Thanks for those in the know! From another review I read, there is a private group check-in area where you sit down and check in and they bring you a cocktail instead of waiting in the main lobby in any lines that they might have at the front desk. It's not a "party/gathering" and all your guests don't go at the same time...when your guests arrive they will be escorted to that area.

However, I was busy with my catamaran trip. So I didn't even see her until I walked down the aisle. It was ok, but I would have liked to have met her first. I put together our script but she also had a script that we could have used if I prefered. Do you know who your officiant is? If it is Rosa, I have her script and can probably share it with you. Can you please send me the script... [email protected]

I am doing the maraca's too, and I am putting me and my FI name and our wedding date on the back, my cousin is a great artist so she is gonna do it for me...so this will also be the wedding favor...and i think it is going to be fun while we are shaking our booties on the dance floor later

We are having our own table for just the two of us though. Is there anyway you can send me the info you got the sanddollars and how you put the name on it [email protected]

Does anyone know if they do a "test" hair and make-up application days before the wedding, just nervous that DRC salon might not be able to do it the way I want it done.

Just another suggestion to you guys. Amazon.com: Ion Audio iPA03 Portable PA System with iPod Docking Adapter: Electronics What kind of sound quality? Are you just going to have a guest keep charge of the shuffleing of music and annoucements?
