I KNOW 100% i am not using the resort photographer, i dont feel like i should get nothing in return if i am not using them!! Ugh, frustrating! I asked if I could be credited for certain things if i didnt use them and the answer was catagorily NO :-( As it happens I was happy with everything except the photgrapher but they may just be because we only had the package deal which was for the ceremony only so maybe time was an issue. Luckily I had lots of friends and family taking beautiful shots and we are having a reception next week with another photographer :-)
  2. To be fair it must be really difficult to get lots of different shots in 1 hr which is all we had the photographer for (the ceremony) especially when everyone is calling him to take shots of them!!! If you are using him for the full day im sure u will get some beautiful pics the only advice i can give is make sure u have a list of shots you want. Who you want in them, certain poses, and tell him to only listen to you. He was too busy shooting my family members.....they wouldnt even be there to view and pick them so it was a complete waste of time. You will have more time so just go in prepared and you will be fine. We are partly to blame because we just expected him to tell us what to do but he just focused to long on group pictures rather than "us" so he was shooting the same shots that my friends and family was so when we went to view them i felt id already seen them on their cameras/phones. Give him list before hand for him To work to Sarah Xxx
  3. I didn't have a hair trial, I went with a picture and my extensions and I was more than happy with what she done. My mom and mother in law and bridesmaids were happy with their hair also. They are very good at what they do. Sarah
  4. Whatever is on the contract is what you pay.....everything is included. We paid by card so I am expecting a fee from the bank for international transaction fees but this is nothing to do with now jade. Xx
  5. It was the hottest day we had during our 10 day stay so it was quite humid but bearable. I wouldn't have changed it, no one complained either Xx
  6. Thank you so much we had the best day ever. The weather was beautiful on the day it was just perfect. Xxxx
  7. We had exactly 25 guests. Because we had a legal ceremony we had to pay for the judges fee and translation of the certificate we also had to pay blood tests for both me and my husband. This had to be paid directly to the judge and doctor in cash which was a total of £310 GBP and then it cost approx £2180 GBP for the divine package. The only extras we added was: Music system for the reception 2 extra boutinere's 3 hot pink runners for the tables at the reception 1 bag of petals for the flower girl My Bridesmaids had fans so we didn't need bouquets for them and I took a basket for the flower girls petals. If your Bridesmaids are having bouquets I would highly recommend that you use them for your centre pieces at your reception if you have more than 3 tables. It costs alot of money to purchase extra centrepiece flowers and its such a shame at the end of the evening when you cant take them home. We had enough flower decorations from the ceremony to cover the sweetheart table and 2 other tables so I used my bouquet for the 3rd table which Adraina had already put a vase on there for me to put it. They make it look beautiful without you really having to spend too much extra outside of the package. I have no idea how much it costs for additional guests.....sorry. Xxx
  8. The room itself was great for us, still room for a couple more round tables but the way she organised it for us was perfect. We didnt have a dj and i refused to pay 800 usd for a dancefloor so we just hired the music sys so that we could play our ipod. When isela took me to castaways to show me the setup she said and thats your dancefloor which was the other section of castaways so i was happy with that. If im completely honest it was a very hot long day and by 9:45pm i was completely shattered and so was some of my guests, by the time the speeches were done and food was served it was almost time to wrap up anyway so for me personally im glad i didnt waste money on dj's, dancefloors (because the one in castaways was a big dance floor anyway) and all the other extras. We stuck with the divine package with a few tiny additions and it was great Xxxxx
  9. All the shots that I posted were family and friend shots. We used the on site photographer with the Divine package so it covered the ceremony only. If I am completely honest he wasn't any better than My friends or family, wasn't very versatile and didn't really have much of a clue. You get 26 with the package and we had no problems reducing it from 269 to 31 because they were pretty rubbish, saying that he gave us the extra 5 but would only out them on the disk and not in the book for a tip! We did manage to pick the best 31 but to say I was disappointed is an under statement, we just wasn't in a position financially to get a outside photographer. I will upload some of the ones he took so you can have a look Xxx
  10. I have sent you a PM with some Information that may help xxxx
  11. We arrived back in the UK yesterday ;-( so cold and want to be back at now jade. We had the most amazing day and wish we could do it all over again it seemed to have all gone so fast. I will over the next few days put a full review together of the whole experience from start to finish. There was a few little negative things but I can assure you I would not have changed it for the world. Our day was better than I could ever of imagined. For all you brides to be.......easier said than done but you do not need to panic wether you have Pilar. Isela or Adriana your day will be perfect they all know what they are doing. Xxxxx
  12. We had 25 guests (including bride and groom) so a sweetheart table with 3 round table 2 tables with 8 and 1 table with 7. It was perfect x
  13. I didnt.....he stayed with his dad the night before and we steered clear of each other until the ceremony at 3pm xxxxx

  15. Our wedding was AMAZING! Better than I could have ever imagined and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Adrianna and Isela both worked so hard to pull off the perfect day.
