It was just easier for us to get a TA- I didn't want Io have to worry about booking flights and resort separately and shuttles ect. We got one quote price from her for airfare hotel and all transportation. The amount we are paying for the hotel is WAY less then the amount we would have paid going directly to them. I looked into it, the only thing is we had to have minimum 5 people to book or we would be considered a group. We have 52 booked so that wasn't a problem lol. I scratched hi and low for a good "free" wedding website. We ended up choosing weddingwindow and made our free account. It was nice but I wanted to add songs and different pics so we paid a one time price of like 70 it is kennyandjamie.weddingwindow.com
