-LED dance floor
-fire dancers (has anyone else had these)?
-bridesmaid/arch/centerpieces flowers etc
-some lighting
-Music I was thinking of just going for the I pod dock to keep costs down? and then using the trio from the package for the ceremony rather than the cocktail hour? (has anyone done this)
- Photographer it says on the form I can add hours on for $99 Has anyone done this?
anyway for all the extras I am budgeting for about $3500 am I being to optimistic?
any help would be great with this? x You are being VERY optimistic for budgeting $3500. I was too until I got there and saw our tentative invoice. I was like OMG! Lol. We had the 'Ultimate Package' and ended up paying close to $8K - not including the resort's photographer (we booked Del Sol), additional decor we brought with us and of course, our room/travel expenses. Yeah... We were shocked how "exact" they are. Also, keep in mind we had 46 guests and EACH guest over the 20 included in the package were accounted for (ie. champagne, cocktail hour, dinner, cake). They make sure of that! This is the extras we had (that I can remember): Gold tiffany chairs LED dancefloor DJ for 4 hours Sound system for ceremony Bamboo poles External vendor fees Welcome dinner
