Quote:Originally Posted by DiggityDawn I've read on this thread (toward the beginning) that the turf and turf dinner option costs extra. Does anyone know if it costs extra for the Strawberry package or is it one of the dinner options included in that package? Also wondering if anyone knows how much an extra reception hour costs? Thanks! No, I had the strawberry package and served Surf and Turf. It costs nothing different. As for the extra hours its $15 per person and hour. We were able to negotiate an extra hour as we had 80 guests....however when the party was suppose to end we extended it another hour and I think we paid only $850

I went with Adrian from the Styling Trio ... 100000% worth it. My make up lasted as its airbrushed plus he was so much fun to hang out with ! I did bring a lot of my own stuff but that that much. We had our reception on the beach so we bought closed in lanterns with candles and brought those down as well as a few other items like favors and place cards. Nothing crazy. I would suggest bring as much as you can and looking around online for the best prices.

I've been back almost a month now from my wedding ... I can't believe it's over. If anyone has questions please ask away !

We did the violin and it was great...but to be honest that will the last thing on your mind as your walking down the aisle.

I just got married at the end of April and I was told it might not ever be but back up.

The same thing happened to me. I have found Lillian to be helpful.

Okay its been some time since I posted anything. I have been so focused on little details. I have a few questions that I can't seem to find the exact answer to even after doing a search. 1. Negotiation on price - I get that they have to make money however, I do feel they nickle and dime you. I am bring 80 guests to this hotel all staying at the Palace for 7 -10 days. Has anyone had any lucky negotiating on the prices for anything? 2. Am I just not reading all this information correctly...not only do they charge you $66 per person over 15 (strawberry package) but then they also charge $15 per person for alcohol ??? My WC really has never made that clear on my spreadsheet of the price. 3. This outside vendor charge...do I have to pay $500 for my Photographer and $500 for my Videographer as well? 4. I did read somewhere that I don't have to pay for Adrian and his team to come on site as he includes that in his price and pays them ? 5. Are the 3 hours for the ceremony enough? What are suggestions to keep the price down 6. Rehearsal Dinner - is this something I get or do I have to pay for this as well ? Sorry I'm just freaking out and I'm only 32 days away from the Wedding. I am very fortunate that my parents are paying for my wedding however I don't want them to get down there and be like WTF are all these extra charges. So Brides that have recently been married there or anyone who knows an answer please HELPPPPP Thanks Sam

Has anyone done a sand unity ceremony ? I want to do one but I worry about getting it home. I don't want it to get all shaken up or lose the pattern formed. Any tips...also any other suggestions other then the sand or candle ideas?

Yes I did hear back from Claudia and it is 12. I'm sure we are not the only ones that will need to know this

I was asked how many kids I have coming to my wedding...is this under 12 or 18 ? Does anyone know

this was meant to include @lauraruiz3

Yes my wedding will be the loud group for sure...we have over 65 guests booked and confirmed and the number seems to keep growing. What locations are you using for your ceremony and reception ?
