Thanks, eholt! My photographer was Neville, a Sungold associate. We really loved working with him and am very happy with how the pics turned out! Maura

Hi DeAngelis2be, I had mine almost the same date (12-4-10) and I scheduled mine for 4:30. I ran late, so it was more like 4:45, but I thought the timing was good anyway. I didn't want to be too hot or anything during the ceremony. It really depends how long your ceremony will be and how long you need afterward for pics. We did some family and bridal party ones afterward, and my husband and I did some outside and then did a bunch inside as well. I liked the time since we had cocktail hour from 5:30 - 6:45 and then reception at 7:00. If we had finished much earlier, I don't know what guests would have done in between (or I guess we could have started reception earlier...). Enough of my rambling...hope this helps!

Hi girls! I got married at the Grand in December and finally got a bunch of my pics uploaded. I thought you may want to see the pics so here are the links to the wedding day pics and the day after shoot. Be warned - there are a LOT of pics on here! Wedding! https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/sredir?uname=112065168624946771298&target=ALBUM&id=5568936028782528529&authkey=Gv1sRgCNXCuq-kwLGKswE&invite=COe588UG&feat=email After Wedding Photoshoot https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/sredir?uname=112065168624946771298&target=ALBUM&id=5568955224668880961&authkey=Gv1sRgCMCp3fKYnM_npgE&invite=COSU4sEL&feat=email

Yes, I took pics in between. We god some sunset ones but it did get dark quickly. We took a lot of pics inside, too, though. I did run late, so if I was on time we would have had more time for outside pictures. I actually just got all my pics uploaded and I will post them on this thread shortly! Maura

Thank you!!! The song is John Legend "I will Stay With You." It was our first dance song, too

Thank you! The wedding was at 4:30 (but I ran a bit late) and the cocktail hour was 5:30-6:45 and the reception from 7:00-11:00. It worked perfectly!

Thank you! My flowers were all dendrobium orchids. Mine were all purple (with white centers) and the girls were mostly purple with some white orchids throughout. I loved the way they turned out! Let me know if you have any other questions

Hi! I got married at the Grand in December and wanted to share my slideshow with you all. Click on the link below and scroll down to "Tom and Maura Iberostar Resort."

Hi! I recently got married at the Grand so my info might be a little different but I figured it might be of some help so I might as well weigh in:) Hopefully it helps some!

I used them for my wedding (and they did a great job) but they were oftentimes difficult to get hold of. I called, though, and they were always so helpful when I did so you might want to try this.

Hi mrsdeloatch2be, Glad it helped But please please don't be down about your wedding! Trust me, having a destination wedding was the BEST decision I've ever made (well, other than deciding to marry my now-husband)! My entire family and all of our friends can't stop talking about it and what an amazing week it was. With standard weddings you get 5 hours with all of your loved ones...we got several days! It was hands down the best week of my life and I'm sure your wedding week will be yours, too

Hi MsSmithtobe, The resort actually provided that box. I had told my fiance to get one and he didn't so we just didn't take one and the Wedding Coordinators happened to have one. This site has them, though. At the bottom of this page they have metal and wooden boxes. I really liked the wooden ones but didn't want to spend the money... http://www.shorechic.com/starfish.html http://www.shorechic.com/sandbox_trays.html
