Hi Alyssa, Im still a newbie myself but Ive booked at a resort. One thing I would have liked to know about is knowing what the policy for outside vendors at the resort is. I didn't know anything about that so when I booked and started planning I found out the outside vendor fee at the resort I booked was $800 per vendor. I am still booking an outside photographer but the fee adds a little stress on the wallet if you know what I mean. So I would just look into that when booking.
