Great idea!! I'm going to copy this one for sure. My finance and I are hot sauce fanatics, so this is right up our alley!

What size umbrella did you use here in your photos? I think they look great!! I'm also in the midst of searching for some for my bridesmaids. Our colours are sage green (dresses) and I'm looking to get chocolate brown parasols for the girls to hold.

I LOVE all of your photos, it looks like you had a beautiful wedding!! Sounds like you were very well organized too. Did you do a legal wedding ceremony as well as your stone ceremony? Did you find you needed to plan everything out to the T? (did you have an M.C who kept everything running smoothly or did you just go with the flow in terms of 1st dance, speeches etc.)? Did you have to send Mayte photos of what you wanted your dance floor and lounge area to look like or did she just do this? Did you request to have a platform to walk down the isle on, or was this something that was done by surprise? We have our wedding booked for the 19th of November 2011 and I"m just starting to get all of the photos together of what I would like our wedding to look like. Thank you again for posting all of your photos and giving all of us brides-to-be a lot of helpful information!

Have any of you that are getting married at the JF in November heard back from Mayte yet regarding a confirmed time for the legal judge? I have been waiting for over a month to hear back, and I'm starting to get a bit nervous.

I'm so glad that I stumbled across this thread. I was beginning to become very worried as I haven't heard from Mayte in 3 weeks either. I have tried numerous times to contact her at the restaurant but I always seem to call at the wrong times. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will hear back from her soon to confurm our legal wedding time.

Would you mind uploading the template to your invitations please? I really love the look of them!! )

We are also having troubles with them. We started to work with them back in October 2010, and we are basicly at the same stand point with them as we were when we first started other then we have put a deposit down on our flights. This is another mistake that I am kicking myself for b/c we no longer wish to use them, but I don't know how to get that deposit back to use another travel agent? Does anyone have any recomondations as to how to go about doing this? They can not seem to hold onto staff so the new staff members we are dealing with keep using the same excuse that they are 'still learning the ropes', or that they are super busy with weddings or wedding shows that they can not get back to us and answer any of our questions, so needless to say ALL of our questions that we have been asking regarding our wedding plans have YET to be answered, so I've basicly gone ahead and researched the resorts wedding planners e-mail and personally got intouch with her to ask my questions etc. The last straw for me was when we had wanted to go in to have a meeting with them face to face, and they kept pushing our appointment back saying that there wouldn't be anyone in the office, and not getting back to us. Basically to all who is considering using this company BEWARE!!!

FutureMrsDawson: Thank you for the info!! Would you mind e-mailing me the booklet that the resort sent to you please? (my e-mail is: [email protected]) also what e-mail did you use to contact the resort? MrsMcGhee2B I'm having the same problem. I have now dropped the resort two e-mails and haven't heard back from either of them (and my 1st one was sent back in November). I'm kind of getting a big worried/frustrated b/c I'd like to plan/organize and get my invites out with plenty of time to allow my guests to save up money if they would like to join us.

Great job I'm really impressed with your book!! Could you tell me the name of your photographer please? I think they are great looking photos, and we are in the midst of reserching some photographers to use for our big day!

Hi Irfiendly, I'm very new to this site, so I apologize if my 1st post already posted but I couldn't see it. Congratulations on your wedding!! We are also in the midst of planning our wedding for November 2011 at the NH Real Arena. What package did you end up choosing with 33 guests in attendance, as the Elite pkg only goes up to 30ppl (was it a lot of money to add more guests?) We are also wanting to do a sit down dinner/reception after our ceremony and were wondering if this is going to cost us an arm and a leg? Did you have a reception for your wedding too? Any other info that you think would help me would be greatly appreciated ) Congratulations once again!!

We are also in the midst of planning our wedding at the NH Real Arena for November 2011. What wedding package did you go with? We are wanting a sit down dinner/reception, did you do this with all of your guests... and did it cost a fortune? *Could you please post photos too, and any other additional info that you think would help* Very excited to hear all about your wedding! Congratulations )
