Hi I am getting married there on November 6th. We are also going to rent the sound system there but bring our own music. Does anyone know if we create a playlist on spotify on our iPad if it will work there? -
The sun glasses were ordered through rushimprint.com The koozies were ordered from discountmugs.com The picture frame is a wood frame that I painted, added some netting and a starfish and then printed out the saying on cardstock paper. The maracas were purchased in Punta Cana on vacation and I just brought them back and reprinted them all. I couldn't find any online for a reasonable price.

I am taking the majority of my items to keep costs lower. I got chair sashes online for .55 cents a sash and overlays for the tables. I made little out of town bags for guests that will include any information they need, sunglasses, koozies, and some other little things. I made all my centerpieces, program fans and also made maracas. I have battery operated starfish lanterns as others have said real yea lights will not stay lite because of the wind. It does get breezy at night. Our groomsmen all have starfish bout. And the bridesmaid have silk white calla Lillie's. I will try and attach some pictures of some things I've made. Everything I made will fit in one suitcase and am also going to put a few items in some relatives that have a little extra room in their checked bags.

The price per person for the divine package dinner over 25 guests is $66.78 per person with the tax and service charge. That is just the dinner, that is not including the cocktail hour, champagne, cake, or chairs but their are ways to cut costs with all of that.

Our wedding is November 6th and we will be there November 2nd through the 9th.

Set up and white decoration is included in the eternity package. I just emailed Anel and she said the white linens for chairs and arch are included in all the packages. It doesn't state that on the comparisson sheet but in the detail section that he emailed me it says it's included in all packages so I emailed her to double check. I can forward the email to anyone who would like it. Also paper lanterns I got online for around $1 - $2 but shipping was expensive. Ended up spending $65 for 30 lanterns I did see on my price sheet the resort charges $2 per lantern. I'm sure there is tax and service charge on those also.

Megan - my friend said they can charge you to decorate with your chair bows. My friend said her bridesmaids went and tied them and the staff helped and they did not get charged. She said it didn't take very long and they were very helpful. Chairs- that was my question and Anel said Chairs are $5 per chair over 25 chairs but that includes a chair for dinner and the wedding so you are paying $5 per person over 25 ppl for dinner and wedding itself (the set) not $10 like it makes it seem. Silly I know...they get at anything they can but they have to make money. Also I am bringing my own centerpieces. They are outrageous if you want anything decent. I know you can rent vases for $5 or $10 per vase and they have luminaries but if u want flowers or anything it's very expensive. I have quite figured out what I am doing but I my colors are aqua and orange with starfish. I am making patterned table runners in those colors to brighten up the white. I also got maracas for the place settings in our wedding colors personalized and I orders Chinese lanterns. There's no where to hang them on the beach terrace so I am going to just lay them around the grass and maybe a few from the hut things. I also bought 15 yards of tulle to dress up the arch thing in color and got aqua hanging crystal strands from hobby lobby. lT cost me $12. To rent fabric from them is like $150-200. I don't know how to put pictures on here from my phone but if you follow me on instagram I've made a few wedding collages with pics from the resort terrace and my ideas decorations. My username is abaumbach247 Honestly Ill be able to get all my decor in one or two suitcases and to me it's way worth it! And they have no problem with you bringing. I have an aunt who plans on decorating for me so it worked out. Let me know if you have more questions!

Congratulations DinaQtobe and meganator22!! It's very exciting once you get that paperwork sent in. That seemed to be the most stressful part for me was trying to pick somewhere. I am very relieved after picking now and having a good friend who got married here in 2012 helps with advice and tips. Advice: Anel is great at responding. It does take a few days but if you look at their calendar online she has a wedding almost everyday of the week so I know she will get to me when she can and is extremely busy so don't get frustrated. Also you will find even you don't want everything in a package it def is more worth it to do one. Small stuff adds up when they send you the price sheet. We are also using the resort photographer. My friends pictures turned out beautiful plus all of your guests will take pictures and my mom mother does photography on the side. So between all of them in sure we will capture what we want. We have a big group going (50 as of right now) so our extra funds are being spent on dinner instead of outside vendor for photographer. We are doing the divine package but we have the option to use the eternity dinner instead since its a little cheaper for dinner if we choose to. Also we are using our cocktail hour on a different day for our wedding party only since we didn't want to also pay for 50 plus people for that. Chair bows: anything you see in color is extra but they don't mind you bringing whatever you want. Chair bows are $5 per bow. I got mine off eBay for $59 for 100 bows. Great deal! I'm just taking an extra suitcase or two with stuff in it. At first I wasn't going to but if your on a budget your going to want to. If anyone has questions I can share what I know so far from the resort and my friend. Happy wedding planning!
