    Hey there... sorry for the delay.. I started getting ready with make up at the spa around 130pm with the girls photographer did boys getting ready around 2 Girls and me in my room around 3 Ceremony was at 4, and we still had quite a bit of time for pictures.. I would just say be organized with all of the photo shots you want to get and have someone in charge. We had best man and MOH calling up specific groups for shots with us...

    When I asked Pilar about vases for bridal and BM bouquets she said she could do it free of charge. Maybe just ask her during your meeting.

    I tipped wedding coordinator at the resort because I was so impressed with their dedication. They stayed throughout the entire reception and were awesome with all the details.. I also tipped the photographer a smaller amount. I'm not too sure what most people do.. I also wasnt sure about what amounts were appropriate. I gave WC $100 and photographer $40, but we had a wedding of 75 guests...

    Our whole wedding was purple and turquoise.... I was afraid to do the girls and guys in diff colors, but now that I did I loved it. What color are your girls wearing. I think either way it will look good!

    I strongly reccomend getting more photos on CD. With the full 1 day coverage ($999) we had over 900 pictures and it took my husband and I 4 hours to try and narrow down to 250 pictures. We had 100 included and had to pay $1/photo extra that we wanted. It may be a better option to try and get more pictures ahead of time because the last thing you want to do on vaccation is spend 4 hours looking at pics. Also the divine package counts at $300 credit towards adventure photos. The included photo book can only have 80 pictures....

    I had ceremony at 4pm annd had my make up done at 1pm. My BM actually curled my hair before that and set it and then finished off when I got back around 2pm. When the photographer got there at 3pm I was still doing hair... Hair and make up would probably take about 2 hours.

    I never paid extra for chairs. The only extra costs with guests were dinners, cocktail hour (we cancelled), champaigne toast, cake (not necessary since dinner has a dessert. Also to add on time to our reception was some sort of formula based on the number of guests.

    - My Hubby and I paid after our meeting with Pilar. I am sure they will allow 2 cards to be used. Advice for my fellow Canadians *pay for your wedding invoice in travellers cheques as the US exchange is better than Visa or mastercard. - 5 of my BM got hair done at the spa and the spa did not wash any of their hair. I would say dont wash it, but they are pretty great at making sure your hair will stand the elements throughout the day

    I brought my own lashes and just had her put them on for me, because as hard as I try I can never quite get them on perfectly..

    We had the divine package and the flower medallions were free, and the ceremony table just had one of the centerpieces from the reception so that wasn't additional cost either.

    Try Wal mart in the states! I got lots of OOT supplies from them!

    My MC just told them she needed a podium and they gave it to her without us paying for it. I just told Pilar that we were planning on having our own MC, and since we had the DJ anyways we did not need to pay. Maybe if you aren't booking the DJ you have to rent it. Unfortunately I rented these sashes.. I tried to buy my own sashes and table cloths, but the website I used fell through kind of last minute. They were amazing but unfortunately I have to return them

    We went to the Valentin imperial afterword for our honeymoon. My Husband and I went their together a few years ago on vaccation and fell in love. I was originally planning to do the wedding there but the guest price was over 2000 per person which was too much for me. After seeing both I am so glad we did the Jade for the wedding! That resort is so much better for a group. The Valentin was only about 15 minutes from the Now Jade. The flower medallions were put onto the cake table (I didnt ask for them to do it) but I thought it looked cute. See above picture the medallions are next to our sandframe. We used the DJ and were only supposed to have him for the reception portion but he actually was there the whole time without charging for dinner. If you are using the Bamboo Room I think private bar is necessary especially if your group likes to drink. The nearest bar is the outdoor mix bar and their service might not be super fast if you have a larger group. We had 75 total.
