Hello ladies! I am in the process of posting my reviews for you all. But in the meantime I would like to refer the people who helped with EVERY aspect of my wedding. From dealing with the Beaches reps for me (such a relief) to getting all of my guests there at the best rates, blocking rooms at a good price, getting me a wonderful on-site coordinator & photographer, and much much more!

Brandy these TI pictures are amazing! You look amazing! I am so glad that I decided to go with TI too! I am still debating on the ceramony & reception music. I have a very "fun" crowd and they will want to be up and dancing. Does the calypso band get people up or should I go with a dj? Also, for the actual ceremony I was thinking of the steel drums or an instument (guitar)? Did you do either of these? If so is there certain songs you would suggest? This forum has been so helpful & so have you!! Thank you SOOOO much! Kim

Hello Kendra! Glad you found this. I can't wait to hear your feedback! It has been so helpful for me! I wanted to do the steel pan player for the ceremony also, but wasn't sure how it would sound? Did they give you an example? The Calypso band... I wanted that too, but wasn't sure if it would get the guests up & dancing? Did they give you any info on this? I did not get any details on these? Thanks

The Hogans- I am wondering the same thing. I was interested in possibly getting something for my ceremony also, but not sure what instrument to go with. Please let me know if you find out anything, and I will keep you posted also.

Stella 5511- Please let me know how it turns out! I think the TTD is going to be a blast!! Thanks and good luck!

Stella5511- I was having the same debate with myself. I ended up getting a Beaches photography package and then having TI do a shoot 2 days later for an "island session" with us. I am sure Beaches has great photographers, but I think TI photos are totally different because it is out and around the beautiful island:-) Brandy- I am also trying to decide what to do for the reception. I would LOVE the calypso band to give the island feel! Can't wait to hear your feedback on how it works out. Do you know anyone who has chose an instrument (guitar,steel drums) for the ceremony? I saw them options in the new kit I just got frim my TA and was interested in maybe having an instrument for the ceremony? Good luck & Congratulations! Here is a link to the new Beaches Martha Stewart Weddings sales kit dated 3/1/11 in case anyone needs it:-) http://mail.aol.com/33456-111/aol-6/en-us/mail/get-attachment.aspx?uid=29860596&folder=Saved&partId=3&saveAs=MS_Wedding_Sales_Kit_Beaches_Turks_Kit_3-1-11.pdf

Welcome back Misti! Sorry to hear about the luggage situation. You handled it like a champ! I LOVE your TI pictures! I am talking with Ileana now on booking with her. I actually paid for a Beaches photo package already (unfortunatly),but after seeing your photos I decided I really want to use them. Pictures is one of the most important things to me, so I will find a way to do this!!! What time of day did you take the pictures? I am trying to decide early in the morning, or sunset? Congratulations!!

I am very excited for you Misti! You are going to be a beautiful bride!!!! Have a wonderful weddingmoon and please update us when you get back!

Thank you all for the warm welcome! I have read some amazing ideas from the posts on here and they are SO much help! I will keep you posted on any new ideas or items I get and share them with you all!!

Hi! Our names are Kim & Terrance. My wedding date is October 13th, 2011 at 5pm (sunset) - Island Paradise 3 hour reception photography by Beaches ~Hello everyone! Thanks for starting this forum! I really need help I think.... I also paid for a large photography package and am seeing all of these reviews about the outside photography vendors. Does anyone have any advice on the photography? I also notice the price is much less now for the Island Paradise from which I was quoted. I am confused on my theme. I want the sunset ceremony for sure! But I like the Seaside Seranade look also. Do you know if they are letting you swap and mix themes now?+ @ Iv1044- Can I get a copy of the new sales kit info you have. :-) Any other advise from Beaches T&C brides I would LOVE! Thanks!!!!!

This forum is going to be SOOO much help! Thanks for all of the info. I will keep you all posted on my wedding planning! Good luck to you Trimalusta! Happy planning to you!!

Hello everyone! I am getting married in Turks and Caicos on October 13th, 2011 at Beaches Resort. I could use some advise and opinions, so I figured I ask you all who are also planning a destination wedding! I look forward to chatting with you all ! Â Thanks! - Kim
