Could someone send me this template? [email protected] I would sooooo greatly appreciate it!

I LOVE the labels that you made for your Survival Kits.... I have been searching for something like this. Would you be willing to email me your template? I would so greatly appreciate it! [email protected]

Arla, I read your resort review which was very helpful.. Thank u! I saw you had the 3pc mariachi band for your ceremony... Can u tell me more about this ? Do you happen to have a video?

I am getting married at the RIU Santa Fe on 2/14/14... Pretty close to your date! have you started your planning? We are going to have under 50 ppl... Have chosen the symbolic ceremony, and the steakhouse for semi private dinner... Not sure yet what we r going to do for a reception. I can't wait to start planning more... Am starting, to get more ideas and do some research...

Kiska, that is so exciting, your big day is almost here!!!!! I would greatly appreciate any and all advice you can provide I am trying to keep in mind that a lot if things will be out of my control and to be somewhat laid back about the whole thing. I know that every little thing is not going to be perfect, but what could be better than getting married in paradise!! We only plan to have 25-30 guests, sounds like it is expensive once you get above 50.

Kerri85, I greatly appreciate your feedback on the spa at RIU Santa Fe! I am strongly considering booking Suzanne Morel. Do you have any other feedback on the wedding experience at this resort? Which package did you choose? We just booked our date for 2/14/14 so it's a ways off but can't help but start thinking of ideas

Thank you so much for all the advice! It is so helpful to hear from someone who's actually gone through the process! I think I am definitely going to go with this resort - I can't pick a date yet as they don't have 2014 dates available yet. You mentioned you had a rehearsal dinner, did you actually do a rehearsal of the ceremony? And did you do a Civil Ceremony or a Religious Ceremony? We were thinking about getting married in the US first and then going and having just the religious ceremony I believe. Also, did you go through a travel agent to help book your rooms all together? Or can you request this from the wedding/event planner? I think I will probably go with the Royal package as well, it doesn't seem like you get that much for in the Caprice package for the cost. I feel like it is going to be sooo hard to wait until right before the wedding to plan everything with the wedding coordinator... it is so great to hear how they took care of everything for you and that you had such a great experience!

I am strongly considering booking our DW at the RIU Santa Fe for February or March of 2014. Can anyone offer any information on the experiences that they have had w/ the resort and weddings? Is there a big difference between having a wedding at the Santa Fe vs. the Palace? The reason I am thinking Santa Fe is it seems like a much better value and I believe more people will be able to come. How far in advance are you able to pick a wedding date? Any comments on the beach and pools at the resort, flower options, spa, restaurants, would be greatly appreciated!
