  1. I actually packed my maracas the other night in my suitcase. I wrapped every maraca up with tissue paper and put bubble wrap on the bottom of the suitcase. All 50 maracas fit just fine and the suitcase is super light since the maracas don't weigh a lot I also packed some of my welcome bags in the same suitcase. I think I'll probably have 3 suitcases of decor/wedding extras. Ahh this is not going to be fun in the airport with so much luggage. lol
  2. The same thing happened to my fiance. His best friend/groomsmen who he's known since he was 3 isn't staying at our resort either. He booked a much cheaper resort and will only be joining us for the wedding day which I feel kind of defeats the purpose of him even coming since we are having pre wedding events. He didn't even tell us he booked somewhere else until my TA informed us on our last day that he never booked. Our wedding is a month away and he still hasn't spoken to my fiance about not booking with our resort. Oh but he's going to the bachelor party this weekend and dropping $400 for Atlantic City. I don't get it he knew about the prices and deadline for 16 months and didnt have enough time to save. Its disappointing because my fiance drops everything to help him out when he needs it but when its my finances turn he ignores him. The crappy part also is this friend/groomsmen actually convinced some other guests to cancel with my TA and book the resort he's staying at. So for all of these outside guests we now need to pay day passes for them to be at the wedding. My fiance says they will pay for their own passes since it was thier choice to stay at another resort but we'll see if that actually happens. I have a feeling we'll end up paying for it. Its funny because the friends that were the first to book are guys my fiance has only known for a couple of years. They are so excited about coming and couldnt wait to book their trip. Other people who you would think would be there no matter what are actually the disappointing ones.
  3. @@calgarybride2015 haha you have no idea how much wedding stuff is all over....my poor fiance can't even sit down at our dining table because there are piles of wedding stuff. Lol
  4. If you already put donw your deposit and set a date they should honor the old benefits. Ask your wedding coordinator just to be sure.
  5. The resort doesnt consider it part of my wedding group if they don't book with my contracted block. The guests booked on their own from a third party site so they are only considered guests of the hotel so any event they go to that I have planned is extra for them. That's the resorts policy. I'm hoping not too many more people book this way because it really starts adding up.
  6. Start sending out reminder texts or phone calls now. People will wait until the very last minute and it sucks. A quick reminder will give them the push to book. Thats what I had to do last month I had people booking up until the last day and even someone booked just last week on their own which is another story because now they aren't considered part of our wedding group and I have to pay extra for them. People forget deadlines so a quick reminder is good.
  7. @fayelaisha Do you really not recommend the light up dance floor? I was thinking of getting it for my wedding I'm also having my reception outside on the terrace but at LeBlanc Spa Resort. Would hate to pay $700 to add the dance floor if people are going to be slipping left and right. lol
  8. This my website, hope it helps with some ideas. http://www.theknot.com/wedding/David-Sandy
  9. @@tygrrlily I can send you the furniture brochure. Ill send it tomorrow when I can get to my computer.
  10. @@tygrrlily Latin Asia was a vendor my wedding coordinator gave me for flowers originally. When I reached out to them about flowers they also sent me their furniture rental brochure. I realized they were cheaper than zuniga and asked if I could use them for my furniture rentals. They said yes since they work with LeBlanc. I'm not sure if they work with all of palace resorts though, I would ask your wedding coordinator. I'm renting gold tiffany chairs for the reception, the chandelier for the sweetheart table and lounge furniture through them. Their flower prices wear crazy expensive that's why I went with Maya. Latin Asia has alot if the same furniture as Zuniga and cheaper their delivery fee is cheaper too.
  11. Maybe just get a couple for the bridal party for when you are dancing.
  12. @@tygrrlily Yeah I like his response time, ultimately his customer service is what really won me over and the prices for the flowers I wanted couldn't be beat. What did he quote you for the flowers I'm getting? Just curious....lol
