Quote:Originally Posted by Carolash39 They kinda do but it's worth it it looks amazing and it turns out great.. I paid $5 pp to have purple napkins and I had 33 guests so I almost died when I heard this and honestly I don't even think anyone noticed the purple napkin between the beautiful flowers and the lighting from the dj ect so that stuff I would just opt out if .. Would have rather put 175 some else than napkins! Yes, $175 could have gone towards something else but you live and learn I guess. I am trying to cut costs anywhere possible so special flowers or shashes are not something I am really concerned about. I am not even doing party favors since my guests wont really care about them anyways and its just more stuff for them to lug around. A fan would be a good idea though for the outside beach ceremony.

Your ideas are beautiful. I love the half up half down style.

Hehe I forgot to post a question. Ok, would you rather have no electricity or no running water?

We are almost there. Not much longer.

Wow! I cant believe how they try to nickel and dime us brides

Those pics were gorgeous!

Was she from the resort? It is so hard to find a good makeup artist in another country.

That is a good one because I want to do BOTH! But maybe sky dive first. That would be so fun.

I just received an email from Vanessa and she said if I bring my own chair sashes there is a $100-$200 penalty fee! WTH? That is super crazy. I cant even believe there would be a such a penalty fee. It would be cheaper to just use their sashes. Has anyone ever heard of this before?

Beautiful! Such a pretty bride. Who did your makeup for your wedding? I love your dress.

OMG!!!!! You were such a gorgeous bride! I cant believe how pretty your dress is. Who was your photographer?

Super cute and so unique. You must post pics after your wedding!

OMG how exciting! I am happy for you. Your date is super close.

Stranded on an island...the scenery would be beautiful. Would you rather have the flu or strep throat?

I agree. I used to post about 5-10 times a day (mostly on the weekends) but I have learned so much along the way.

I completely agree with you. I have Vanessa as well. They should send out an auto reply or something. Especially if it is taking them three weeks to four weeks to fix the problem.

I agree with the hotel prices. OUT OF CONTROL. Many suggest using an outside vendor even though you have to pay the fees, it will still save you money.

Quote:Originally Posted by JillTran Congratulations ladies on your upcoming nuptials! The BlueBay Esmeralda has some pretty good wedding packages as well as pricing as the post reception pool side party. The last time our client had a wedding there it was about $750USD for a 2 hour private poolside party, compared to another resort in the area which was charging $2300USD, it could be different now since the pricing varies every year. I also find that the pricing for the resort is fairly reasonable too! Good luck everyone and happy planning! -Jill Thanks for the info. I was considering getting married here as well but not sure of the pricing. $750.00 for a two hour poolside party, does this include food and alcohol? I would like this idea but might want to extend it a bit.

For an outside DJ and dance floor, who are you using? How much do they charge? I know the hotel DJ is almost 1000! Ouch...and the dance floor is almost 800.00. It seems so steep!

Spicy....im kinda a wimp when it comes to spicy but I still like it. Would you rather have to survive an earthquake or a fire.

I am having the same problem. Its been 3 weeks since I emailed my coordinator. I even sent her a followup email asking her if she received my first one. Who is your WC?

What happened? Oh no! I am so sorry. I would have freaked.

@EVKnowsitall Thank you for the break down. This is great information for a planning guideline.
