Nayelli told me if your wedding is at 5pm then you need to be at the salon 3hrs before so 2pm. -
april message me your email and I will send you the map and the catalogs

i used USA tranfers, they were great to work with, showed up on time and they were very inexpensive. here is their website http://www.usa-transfers.com/

you will be charged the whole room rate about a week before you arrive, and if you have a wedding package they charge that to your bill when you check out. we were under the impression that everything was charged the week before. oh no surprise when you check out they say oh by the way you owe $$. we were very upset when we checked out and that nobody had explained this to us before hand. plus when we checked out there was no wedding coordinators working. just be careful about that. other than that, excellence is the place to get married and to vacation. we would go back tomorrow. congrats!

customs are tough down there, when we went down there we had my dad check my luggage with all the oot bags and customs wanted receipts for everything. luckily, they let my dad through without it. but i would def recommend having your receipts.

amy trust me i had like 5 wedding coordinators between the time we booked our wedding to the time we got there, my husband and i thought it sounded "fishy" and kinda ridiculous. but once we got there and worked with alex which was the #4 coordinator (who i highly recommend using) they keep everything in a file for you and they send you a checklist before you leave. i printed every email and made my own checklist, just so there was no miscommunication, let me know if you have any questions, i still have all my catalogs that nayeli sent me if you need any of them, let me know!

We used the spice terrace for our reception. It ended up raining on our wedding day, so we used the inside of the restaurant. but we went out there to dance. i would recommend the spice terrace.

sounds like everything went great! we also used the inside photographer and he was absolutely great and very accommodating. we took bug spray with us also, and put them in our welcome bags. congrats to you guys!
-
no i had them done 2 days before we left and they lasted through the week and i had them done probably 2 weeks after i got back. the pink and whites are the always the way to go. i cant believe you leave in 6 days! i cant wait to see your pictures

here are my nails that i had done for my wedding, they are pink & white, no acrylics.
-
as far as nails, has anyone had pink and whites done? they last for like 4 weeks and they are better than doing acrylic nails.

ashley, we didnt even ask for the speakers but they brought them anyway for us and we got to use the microphone for exchanging vows.
-
here are the invites we did. hope you all like them!

we were going to have a private rehersal dinner, but Alex (if you can, work with him) but he said there was a private beach carribean night party. there was maybe a dozen tables, and guest to pay extra to get into the party, but we got it complimentary. it was super nice and everyone had a blast.

my dress did not leave my site, except for checking in. they take all your stuff until your room is ready. my dress was not wrinkled at all and i just hung it up in the closet, which by the way is HUGE! it also depends on the fabric of your dress whether it will wrinkle more or less. mine laid flat and my fiance and i carried it, it was really heavy dress so i took the bottom and he took the top. i didnt care if ppl had to move the dress was going to be straight. and everyone at the airlines is super nice

i flew united and they were super nice! i put mine in an overhead bin laying flat and they were completely fine with it!

kim congrats on ur upcoming wedding. we did have a rehersal dinner, they had a carribean themed night on the beach. which was reservation only. it was really cool, they only had maybe a dozen tables, buffet, bar, and a band. you can also do it normally in any restaurant that you want. we have all had troubles getting hold of nayeli. when we were supposed to meet with her, she sent alex another coordinator and he was awesome to work with and soo nice. see if you can get a hold of him. let me know if you
-
jass you do have to schedule the appointment with the spa manager, here is her email address:[email protected] she told me since my wedding was at 5 to make my appt for 2pm.
-
alexis it is open but covered it is so nice, and they have 2 different sections you can use
-
alexis we had rain on our wedding day. we still had our ceremony at the gazebo, but since it was raining we couldnt have our reception on the spice terrace so we just had it inside the restaurant. we ended up going outside before we left just so we could our father/daughter, mother/daughter and our dance.
-
Alexis, I remember them saying they can do it inside at the Toscano restaurant, my opinion if you want to do it outside, do the Spice Terrace
-
kristen i have all the catalogs from nayeli. if you want to message me your email i can send all of that to you!! congrats also, you made the absolute best choice
-
sheryl i love love you youtube video soo cute. i know im sorry we couldnt meet up on wednesday, i think i saw you guys a couple times also. aww thank you so much, and im glad you spied lol. friday morning, i was like oh nooo its raining for your wedding. im glad nayeli was there for you as much as she was. we worked with alex alot more than nayeli and he did a great job. we ended up paying half of the cost between the two wedding packages, which was fine. wish they would tell you this but we cant wait to go back or go to another of their locations! congr

hello and congrats on your upcoming wedding!! we just came back from excellence and it was amazing! we looked at both the ceco and spice terrace, to be honest the ceco was a little boring (sorry if i offended anyone) and it is very open so any sound would carry too far out i think. i would go with the spice terrace in my opinion we only had 8 ppl total in our party so we used my brothers speakers and it was perfect. let me know if you have any more questions!
