I am happy to answer questions since this forum helped me so much! We did not want to pay for upgraded chairs either so we decided to just see what we got. They are basic plastic outdoor chairs but not uncomfortable or anything at all. The white chair covers actually looked much nicer than I expected. And I originally emailed and asked what sashes were included for free and Jenny sent me 5 colors, blue, green, pink, orange, red, all just solid plain bold colors. But when we got there we told Yanna we wanted blue and she showed us two different options, one was the light blue sheer which we picked. I thought that looked much nicer! Not sure if other brides leave things, or they just have extra laying around or what but we were happy. One thing that surprised me though was we got charged $3 per chair for the number of chairs over 10. When we booked though the wedding guide did not have a price for chair covers and the latest one says $3 so maybe it changed. I didn't argue it since we only had 26 chairs. I tried to attach a picture of the whole ceremony set up but my pictures are all really big and it won't let me use any that are over 10 mb. These two kind of show the chairs more.

Not sure if they had the inside set up too, since the restaurant has most seating outside and on the deck, but the outside looked stunning.

Hey ladies! We just returned from our wedding and it was absolutely amazing!! I was so stressed before getting there and wasn't getting responses from my WC Jenny but after arriving we met Jenny and Yanna and had Yanna for the wedding day. She was amazing and everything was perfect. The resort is beautiful and you have nothing to worry about! Let me know if you have any questions! I will try to post some pictures too. Marji

I just emailed it to you
-
I also have Jenny. I emailed her a week ago to discuss the final details and I have yet to hear back! Getting a little worried since I have a few more questions for her!

Hi Steph! Congrats! Since I haven't gotten married yet, I can only answer one of your questions. Another bdw bride emailed me the ceremony that DLR uses. She said you can use that, add/remove/change anything or completely write your own and they will read it.

Hi Lili! I agree that the resort does not contact you for a while after you make your deposit. I would suggest you choose your venues ASAP and get confirmation from the wedding planner. They do have multiple weddings per day so someone else could book the spot you were thinking! My wedding is coming closer (!!) on October 18th and I have not heard from them at all after I booked the locations months ago. From using this forum I'm not sure I expect Jenny to contact me at all, but I will be contacting her when I have my final guest count to ask a few questions and try and get a estimated price. I figured we would choose the flowers and such after we get there. iburic, what have they contacted you about? I would love to know if I'm supposed to be doing something else Thanks! Marji

Assorted collection of Destination Wedding supplies!
marji replied to Debra Mulkey's topic in Buy, Sell, Trade or Freebies!
Is anything still available? I am interested in the clear ID holder, no bracelets. Thanks! -
Thank you for the timeline VancouverBride, that is very helpful. Our wedding is in October as well. We have scheduled a 4 pm ceremony and are not doing pictures before that (except getting ready photos). Hopefully we will have enough time for daylight photos!

Congrats JenWren! Have a wonderful time!!!

I am also wondering about lighting on the beach. We will be having dinner there as well. I saw one bride on here a few years ago with rope lights - does anyone know if we can bring rope lights or regular string lights to put on trees? I reserved our ceremony time at 4 pm but Jenny never asked for cocktail hour or dinner time yet. Does anyone have any suggestions on timeline?

Thanks jessicalynneh and Vancouver Bride! It helps to see both of your circumstances since you had such different size weddings. We are planning to get the complimentary wedding package and add on the things we want, and should have only around 30 guests. So far Jenny has only asked me for the date, time and location, and sent back a short confirmation letter. We still have plenty of time and don't have any guests booked yet, but now I will be sure to spell everything out and get a quote a few months before we go. We are working with a travel agent (Patty from this site) so I will also ask her if she can help. Vancouver Bride, did you like the officiant you got? I'm glad to hear they will perform the ceremony in English! This is one part I have not given much thought to yet, although it's a pretty important part! I would love to see the script they gave you. I will PM you as well. I also see that you added on the extra silver dinner and open bar, but not a cocktail hour. Did you do a cocktail hour before dinner? If so, did they set up the bar by then? I want to provide something for the guests to do for the hour between the ceremony and dinner but if we add on the cocktail appetizers I feel like no one will be hungry for dinner! But it would be nice to have the bar available at that time. I also have another random question for you ladies... did you tip the resort staff regarding the wedding? I have heard some people say you are not expected to tip at all, and some say you should tip 20% like we do in the US. I am wondering if we are expected or not to tip the coordinator, officiant, waiters, etc. on the day of. Thanks!!

Thanks for sharing Vancouver Bride! I'm so glad everything worked out well for you. Did you receive this quote before you got there or while you were there? I am wondering if I should ask for a quote before the wedding to compare to the final bill. And final bill in pesos/Spanish - wow! I thought they accepted USD. This is the first I've heard of $60 for the officiant. I hope there are not too many other surprises like this! Who was your officiant and how did you like them? Did you write your own ceremony for them to read or did you just use what they had? I also thought I heard somewhere that they include speakers for the ceremony at no cost. I see this is not true! I truly appreciate your tips and answers to all of my questions that I can't find answers to anywhere else! Once I got my date confirmed and made the deposit, Jenny doesn't really respond to my emails anymore

Congrats and welcome back Vancouver Bride! Thanks for sharing your reviews and pictures! They are beautiful! Would you mind sharing what happened with the extra venue fee? I believe something similar happened to another bride too. Can I ask how much you were charged for the fabric decorations on the gazebo? I think the flowers are not needed at all.
