    Depending what your budget is, I would HIGHLY reccomend Secrets Maroma for your last 5 days. It is an amazing resort on the most beautiful beach I have seen! You would not be dissapopinted!!

    Okay I can relax now. I called Pilar (seems to be the way to communicate, even though I hate botherinig her this far out) anyway, she confirmed that the "cocktail per person per hour" charge is for appitzers etc....Not sure why it is listed as cocktails and why she imput that into my spreadsheet but I can relax now knowing that I will not be paying an arm and a leg just for drink service at the reception! PHEW, seriously anyone who thinks that planning a destination wedding is cheap, stressfree, or easy is SO wrong lol!

    We will stil have a cocktail hour because the guests will still be able to get drinks at the blue beach bar without having to pay the extra money....i was assuming...?? We dont need Hors d'oeuvres because we will be going into dinner right after. I obviously am aware of the dinner fee for above and beyond the 25 people for the divine package, but I was not aware that I would have to pay $15.00 per person per hour for cocktails at the reception. This is what I am trying to confirm...

    for drinks- let me clarify lol!

    I do not want any appitizers or Hors d'oeuvres for the cocktail hour or at the reception as I would have to pay for these for an additional 55 people and it is not worth it to me. I just want to make sure that I am not going to have to pay 15.00 per person plus tax for an additional 55 guests for 3 hours of the reception.

    That is what I would have thought as well, however, Pilar just emailed me something and she had added the coctails into my budget sheet! I CANNOT afford to be paying 15.00 plus tax a head per person PER HOUR for the reception for 80 people....this cannot be correct. I am seriously panicking right now. If you pay the $250 to have the open bar in the reception room will you still have to pay the 15.00 per person per hour?

    oops sorry, this is under "reception"....

    Hi Everyone. I am just going through my budget spreadsheet and noticed under "ceremony" Cocktails are $15.00 plus taxes per person per HOUR. What is this for? I thought we had an open bar for cocktail hour? There is absolutely no way that I am paying this as I have 80 guests!!!! HELP.....:(:(

    here are the exact bags. http://www.discountmugs.com/nc/view-product/TOT90/non-woven-budget-shopper-tote-bag/ you can choose a logo that they already have (they have LOTS) or you can upload a custom made one which is what we did! hope this helps

    I just ordered my bags from discountmugs.com. I got 60 bags with a custom logo printed on them for $130.00!! I had to get them shipped to our house in Arizona as shipping is free within the states and REALLY expensive to ship to Canada. Here is a picture of them! Cant wait to start filling them

    Hi ladies! I am a travel agent and over booking happens everywhere. Flights, resort, tours, etc. Companies assume they will have no shows and it is a way of making some extra money. My biggest reccomendation would be to ensure that you have a group booking with the hotel. That way, if the hotel is oversold, the resort will not bump anyone from your group. If you all book individualy you have a risk of being bumbed... As for the bad reviews, some people are just so difficult to please, you can never please everyone! I have been to this resort twice within the last year and have loved it each time. I have also sent clients to this resort and have had minimal complaints. Dont worry ladies, everything will be great!

    Im sorry if this has already been asked (im sure it has somewhere) what EXACTLY is inculded as far as photography in the Divine package? How many hours fo we have the photographer? What is the "Upgraded photo package"? I am ttrying to decide if it is worth it to bring out own photographer down or now but I dont have anything to comapre! thanks ladies!!!
  19. hortonk
    oh good to know! thanks so much!! Where has everyone got the bags they are using for their welcome bags? Also, did you get them printed with something as well? I am just about to order all of my bags i cant wait!

    oh my gosh, I am half way through reading this whole forum! HOLLY there is SOOOO much information! I am now thinking of getting all my flowers from a florist outside of the resort. Does anyone reccomend paticular florists who are good and not TOO expensive?! I have seen quite a few, but all of the emails are invalid that I have tried.

    are you going to be having a webinar for the Now Jade?
  22. hortonk
    I totally agree with you, I am interested to see how much you can negotiate when you are down there. Maybe get upgraded to the presidential suite? hahaha that would be nice!! awe your colors are so similar to mine! My girls are wearing Coral and the guys are wearing beige suits same thing only my FI wearing a tie! It will be interesting to see how the resort feels with so many guests as it is not a huge resort! Are you going to do any excurssions or anything with everyone? Have you been to the resort before? I have seen it twcie (I am a travel agent so have done 2 site inspections on it haha) but have never actually stayed there for more then about 6 hours! Are all of your guests arriving at the same time by the way? All 80 of us are arriving on the same flight haha we almost have the whole plane! but I am a little nervous about check in...I dont want my guests to be waiting a long time in the lobby. ah all of these small details!

    oh awesome, I will have to check out wedding wire! Wow you are at a good number as well!!! Its crazy how it adds up with all of those people though lol. Everyone always thinks that it is so cheap and easy to do a destination wedding but it sure does add up! I cant wait to read your review when you get back. What color bridesmaid dresses are you having?
  24. hortonk
    I dont mind paying the same cost to have the buffet i just dont want to be paying anymore. I would just like my guests to have more selections and the buffet would still be nice in the bamboo room! You must be getting excited shannonmarie your wedding is coming quickly!! Do you have your seating chart for your reception yet? I am assuming that they will have a "welcome" table set up with the guest book and table number assignments right? What locations are you doing for your wedding and how many people do you have booked?
  25. hortonk
