i love this !!!!!!!!!!! -
hey everyone, so i decided to do something a little different and get the saxaphone player for my beach ceremony.... i asked lorena about it and she sent me a video of a harp player and even though i want the sax i think it added such a nice touch! i asked her if i still needed to pay for the sound system and she let me know that NO i do not BUT i would pay 50$ for the microphone. she said the musician is the same as the sound system basically...... its going to cost me 500$ but i always wanted a saxaphone player at my wedding and my fiance agreed that its worth it.. so im not sure if that helps those of u who want the mexican trio but basically im paying for him plus 50 for a microphone which i am going to try and get her to give me for free lol whew so much to do... so little time !

hi everyone, SAVS thanx for the link to the maracas.... do they personalize them ? i am getting so nervous because Lorena had me write her seperate emails for each part of the wedding and so far she only responded to my ceremony email.... she told me to re-confirm with Cesar the dj that he would be my sound guy and he hasnt wrote back yet... i feel like with the weeks in between emails time is ticking away... i would have loved to have everything in order by now but it takes so long to get replies that i feel like ill be working on stuff right up to the week of the wedding !! anyway does anyone know for the ceremony if u rent the sound system which is what i am doing do i need to bring the music on a CD? how does this work? Since Cesar is my DJ and sound guy ( i hope and think ) do i just tell him the names of the songs i want or am i bringing them to him ? did anyone else bring lanterns and get charged the 60$ fee to hang them ? I am not happy about this ! also one last question, my fiance feels like instead of the 180$ to rent the sound system since i love the saxaphone why dont i jsut get the saxaphone player to play on the beach during the ceremony even though it costs more.... i am considering it but havent heard anyone talk about it so i am just curious i anyone knows about this, whether or not its a good idea, how it sounds.... etc . . .

thank you for this ! i actually dont think the video was bad at all.... i was going to pay a lot for an outside vendor but i think you just changed my mind. i will just upgrade the package because i also want the reception included... i have the ultimate package so this is what was included with it??? not bad at all!

as far as video goes i am still trying to decide if i should go with mike cantarell from the cancun wedding videos company. its a little pricey. can anyone send me the actual video packages from dreams riviera so that i can compare the two ? and can anyone share an experience with the videographers from dreams ? have they gotten any better ? i know when i was first planning i watched a video and was like OH NO but maybe they have improved lol. also i have to pay the outside vendor fee if i hire mike cantarell so it all adds up. let me know i def. think a wedding video is necessary especially for the future but i am not sure where to go with this . . . maybe theres another company with decent pricing?

THANK YOU!! seriously if you lived in NY I would hire you as my wedding planner lol you are amazing and i finally watched your slideshow and you & everything else looked amazing. thanx for sharing everything with us!!
-
can anyone share what they put in their welcome letter to their guests ? i thought it would be simple but im having trouble... i want to include a letter in the OOT bag but aside from a huge thank you i am not sure what else to say... suggestions ?

okay i finally read through all the posts i missed and WHEW i am happy that some of you had great wedding experiences!! i am officially 2 months away from mine and realizing that I have SOOOOOOOO much to do and plan. it makes me feel better than i can pick a lot of things out once i get there because i am so scared of saying something now and then changing my mind. the set ups for some of your weddings that i just seen are amazing and i wouldnt know how to explain that to Lorena so your pictures are a huge help. are there any other march 1st brides out here, or march 2nd? lol i know i cant possibly have the day all to myself!! lol my times and locations are 430 north beach ceremony 530 to 630 cocktail hour at desires terrace ( she made an exception since i asked very early on ) also i put one hour in between to allow myself to take pictures and then still go to some of the cocktail hour. does this sound good ? 7-11 reception on the pool deck ( with dance floor and dj - i figure time will fly so i am paying for the extra hour ) WHEW i am nervous!!!!!!!!!!

the lanterns through the resort are $10 each.. i googled them and found some for about $3 each, but lorena told me they charge a 60$ fee to hang them. i remember hearing on here somewhere that they DONT charge to hang them so i was a little annoyed when she told me that. i am going to decide on either the string of lanterns or the lanterns hanging from those poles ( i like both ) and then decide whats cheaper, bringing my own and paying the 60$, or just getting them through the resort. i am also not sure how many i would bring, or how many i would need to purchase through the resort.... $10 per lantern seems a little steep if you ask me! but we'll see

i am going to put a welcome letter in my oot bags as well. i was thinking of one side just having the welcome note (but i like your idea of the in loving memory section) and i am going to copy that, and on the other side i am just putting a simple itinerary like locations and times. i am not going to make mine like an actual program with the songs but its your own preferance!! if anyone sends u any good samples please pass them along
-
the firs thing i did when i picked this resort was confirm the pool deck and i quoted her at about 50 people. they never gave me an issue. i actually only have 45 people booked and the wedding is 2 months away..... she never asked (lorena). i would let them know that you know that other brides have less than 60. ( just dont say my name LOL )

thank you ladies for all of the compliments and opinions, it is so funny because I am still completely undecided. When i picture myself in that long veil it just doesnt feel beachy to me yet that "money shot" of standing on the beach with the veil blowing in the wind is almost worth it as one of you pointed out. i guess after i go for my next fitting i will make a decision. I also just watched a slideshow where a girl just had a beautiful flower in her hair and i realized i might go that route and just the dress speak for itself. i am a very indecisive person when it comes to this stuff..... i actually still second guess my dress as not being beachy enough or that the tool at the bottom is too much of a fashion statement LOL i am crazy! do not mind me! -
are there any march brides out there ? i am getting married march 1st and i went from stressing to not stressing, and now back to stressing. with the holidays here now and the hurricane here in ny i feel like i lost a lot of valuable time with planning and its really catching up to me. i am not even sure what exactly should be my main focus now and im starting to panic i emailed lorena 3 weeks ago and have not heard back lol i feel like i started out very organized and now im a lost puppy lol i am grateful for the positive reviews however because i am trying to follow your advice of not stressing LOL thanx girls

AHH i am almost at the 3 month mark..... wedding March 1st 2013... getting nervous about all the details i need to get organized now... i was very concerned when i first booked and then i took a break from worrying lol

hey everyone... so i finally went for my try on appointment ( still needs to be fitted ) and it was the first time i saw my dress in all ivory and i loved it i tried it on in champagne ivory and made the switch to all ivory without ever seeing it so i was terrified. anyway i cannot decide between a birdcage veil and a long veil.... i decided the short veil is not for me so its one of these.... after the ceremony i am just going to put a flower/sparkly clip thing in my hair.. all opinions are welcome also there were other brides there who were having destiantion weddings and ALL of them had on simpler dresses than mine... had me thinking maybe my dress is a little more much for my beach wedding =*( i LOVE the dress but maybe i made a mistake ? i dont want to look like a fool !! so here are the pics . . . also after the ceremony the back of the dress will be bustled up i just didnt get a pic of it... please let me know if you think i went a lil overboard for a wedding on the beach... and which headpiece looks best.. thank you -
