I have heard great reviews on both bands so don' t think you can go wrong. As for the photographer I read in one of the earlier posts here that as long as they are a guest you don' t have to pay a fee I mean she's technically a wedding guest who is taking pics..sorry don' t have to many answers but read the past reviews the girls really go into detail

Welcome and congrats on your engagement and upcoming wedding. There are many ladies on BW who are using TA's that are here on the boards I believe it's tammy who sent the welcome message when you first join BW who is in fact a TA. I also, contacted the resort directly and they sent me an email. You can actually chat with the resort directly online too. Happy planning!!!

Thanks so much for the response. I appreciate all the information I can get. Nice to know that the resort is big enough for everyone to be together and apart at the same time. Did any of your guests that did not have children have any complaints abut the amount of children. I am a little worried abut guests who do not have children being overrun with children since it's a family resort. I myself have children so not a worry of mine. Yes we are planning on using a TA.. Who did you use? I will take you up on your inbox offer thanks.

thanks so much for the review jsquared if you don' t mind can you email me the pics I would love to see. I look forward the reviews from you ladies they have helped tremendously in my own planning for next year. Did you just use the BB package or did you have add-ons? I am thinking of doing the same with the 1hour cocktail hour do you feel that to be enough time? I haven' t decided on my location yet but hoping for the beach I think

Thanks, for the encouragement. Yes, it will be there loss just takes some getting used to on my part. I am thinking of just having my oldest son who will be 13 and my oldest daughter who will be 20 walk me down. My daughter is supposed to be bridesmaid or matron of honor but she insists on walking me down if her brother will be. I have to decide on that. I would much rather have my dad give me away. We are going to order our save the dates too. I noticed that it can be pricey but I don't know that I can do them myself or the invitations for that matter. I think maybe I will try and experiment and have a great back up plan. Look forward to seeing your picture tomorrow. I think I have seen some of her work on one of the boards maybe this one not quite sure.

That explains why you are so organized with things. You have a very demanding career. I haven't narrowed down our bridal party as of yet. We have 6 children who we want to be included in the ceremony as well as my MOH and our best man who are actually a married couple themselves. Our time is supposed to be 4pm but we are waiting to see what we are going to do about using tropical imaging. The fire dancer does seem pricey so we are not sure yet? My dad and my sisters are really upset with the who DW idea. They aren't even planning on coming. I was hurt at first but trying to cope with it and be happy with our decision. I agree with you, we are paying for our own wedding so they should be considerate of that. Yes, true colors are shining through. Did you make your own save the dates or order them?
-
Oh Wow, I hope things even out for you soon too. You are so far ahead of me We don' t even have our save the dates or invites yet. We are working on all of that now. We are hoping to finalize the date between 22nd and 29th now we asked for a Saturday for those who want to not miss too much work who will attend. We are using Beach Bum DW travel agent she has been great so far and very informative. Will you have a large wedding party? We will more than likely use the Beautiful Beginnings package too with a few additions. I really want the fire dancer and sand ceremony. Not too sure if we are a private sit down dinner thinking more along the lines of 1 hr cocktail. We don' t want to over splurge we are having an At home Reception as well. We are not planning on too many joining us our children, our 6 closest friends, and a couple family members. Most of our family considers us to be being selfish for having a destination wedding which is why we are going to have the AHR.

Oh Wow, that is so funny. We just might be getting married on the same date. We have not yet booked yet we are trying to decide on the date. We were choosing between 15th, 22nd and 29. We decided against the 15th since father's day will be the following day next year and I don' t want to celebrate father's day on my wedding/honeymoon. Selfish I know. I know what you mean about the stress. I am feeling a bit stressed myself which is funny because I thought having a DW would alleviate that. How are your family and friends about you having a DW? You must be excited having your conference call coming up. Have you decided on a package? Are you having an AHR? I never thought of bringing my own photographer definitely something to look into. I have been reading the boards about Tropical Imaging, they seem to do great work on the island many of the girls on the board have used them and given rave reviews so I am considering them. The trash the dress looks like fun. Yes, we are using a Travel Agent. She told us the same rates should be available soon. Are you using a local TA or one that specializes in DW?

Hi, thanks so much for your response. Appreciate the help. I thought we were all ready to reserve our reservations then I started reading boards and got nervous. You have very valid points. I was thinking the same since everything is all included food, drinks, activity, and child care the cost seems worth it. The boards also state flights are high to turks I am unable to price them because they are not available as of yet. We are close I am in New Jersey. When is your date at beaches? Have you been planning long? How is it coming along? Great to see another 2013 bride and at the same resort.
-
Hi Ladies, Are there any 2013 turks brides on here? I see quite a few from previous years. Where are you getting married on the island? What are your plans? We are planning a June 2013 wedding date. Was quite set on Beaches T& C but now not so sure. Was already to book possibly just over thinking things. We have children ourselves but now wondering if the resort will be overrun with children for our guests that do not have children. Also the reviews on the photos are troublesome and the resort has a no outside vendors policy. We are planning an AHR so we need to have great pics to show for friends and family who cannot make the wedding.

Hi Ladies, We have finally decided to book or reservations and wedding at BTC for June 2013. For all you brides who have decided to also get married here or have already been married here are there any regrets? I have been reading some other posts on the boards and am now having doubts. Initially I went with them because we have children as well as some of our guests so it just seemed like the right choice. However, now I see that there are quite a few other resorts on the island that just aren't AI. Did any of you consider not using an AI resort? What are the pros and cons of using beaches verses another resort on the island? As beaches is very costly would it be more cost efficient to use another resort on the island? I'm just wondering for the guests if I considered every option. Any advice opinions comments welcome. Thanks

Hello Ladies, I am new to the site I have been reading the posts for the last two days I am currently on page 68. The pages are so very informative I am so appreciative of you ladies for sharing your private stories. They are really helping me. I have yet to finalize any plans or even have a set date. Beaches Turks and Caicos is one of my top choices and you ladies are helping to make this decision. All of your reviews are excellent as well as your photos. Is the thread still open are there any new brides for BTC? I see majority so far are for 2011 some 2012. Are there any 2013? If so how did you start your planning? How many of you ladies have used or will use a TA? If so are you using from this site or from elsewhere? Sabrina

Hi Brooke, I am getting married in 2013 and I too am a newbie here. I understand your frustration with the searches I am going through the same thing getting frustrated. It is a relief to speak with others who are going through the same planning. Are you using a TA? you are absolutely not starting to early...The earlier the better from what I am seeing.
