I'm a newbie - first post. I just booked my wedding at the HRPC for 3/14/14. AngieRich, this is my biggest concern. We want a ceremony on the beach and the reception on a terrace close to the beach. How long after submitting your location preference form did it take for Mia to tell you that your choices are booked? I don't want months to go by before they tell me I may be stuck at a random pool. My coordinator tells me not to worry because the resort is so big, so I shouldn't have a problem getting one of the beach locations (Isla or Ipanema) and one of the terraces (Element or Toro). But I can't grasp why they won't actually confirm until 30 days prior. How is it that I've seen examples of Save the Dates (on the All Classy FB page) where people are listing the exact beach/reception sites? They must be sending those out several months ahead of time - are they just hoping for their requests to be met or are they getting actual confirmations? AngieRich, something must be going on 1/15/14. It's a Wednesday - how can every location be unavailable? You might want to push for answers. I know that the whole resort was basically sold out for a period this past January for a concert and all of their die-hard fans.
