STAY AWAY FROM THIS RESORT - HORRIBLE WEDDING EXPERIENCE..

Hello! I'm getting married at Memories, Cayo Santa Maria - May 7th 2012. Would LOVE to chat more. [email protected] Thanks, Julia

from one freaked out bride to another... I am getting married May 7th at the Barcelo, now "Memories Azul" I have had a terrible time getting in contact with the wedding coordinator and have lots of questions like you, so that I am prepared for the wedding.. after 16 emails and then a nasty one from my travel agent, she finally VAGUELY answered my questions: Music: What are options for music? Trio’s, Bands, DJ's ect & cost?. For Alive music there is an extra cost depending on the format. A trio could cost between 120.00 or 100.00. Vows: Are we able to write our own, will there be a translator present for the official vows. Yes, after the legal ceremony (all the reading of Cuban family code articles) you can read your vows. The Notary only makes the official services, and just before the final declaration of marriage you can exchange ring, read your vows of have the sand ceremony if you want to. Flowers: What are options for flowers? Roses? I cannot confirma you that yet, because the flowers are imported and depends on the availability and season, usually we ask for specifically colors for the bouquet. Decorations: White chair coveres. No. Navy Blue sashes *attached picture of chair covers/sashes from the website - are these available? NO Reception: Is there an option to have Alcoholoc & Non-Alchoholic drinks served at the wedding? Yes, if you ask for, it could be possible Additional Questions: Do we have an option for a "welcome" dinner the evening of arrival?. Please send in advance the guest list, to know if is possible. Subject to an extra cost Do we have an option for a “rehersal dinner party†the night before the wedding. Subject to an extra cost What are food/menu options for the reception? I´ll send you the options What are the decorations/colors available? Usually the service decorate in red the tables and with candles an natural flowers When/Where should legal documentation be sent? In three months after the ceremony As I previously stated.. my clear questions were vaguely answered. I've really struggled with this as I am a really big planner.. I've just gone ahead and bought all the chair covers/sashes, any and every decoration I plan to have. Please keep in touch & e-mail me with any questions: [email protected] Thanks!
