@@deelirious Thanks so much! And what a coincidence in the number of people!! When will your wedding be? I'm glad the pics helped! 1) Wedding cake was square and still 3 layers (as in the pic) and was more than enough for our group. Since cake in the package only fed up to 25ppl we had to add an additional 54; the children do not count for the extra. When everyone had been served the cake I did notice like half the bottom later still untouched, so the servers make sure that everyone's going to get a slice! 2) Our reception was 4 hrs instead of the included 3. After finding out that our group was sooooo big and negotiating a plated dinner, our WC actually recommended that we extend the reception from 3 to 4 hrs to make sure we'd have enough time for the courses and activities! The serving time was good; no one was waiting forever for meals or drinks, and we had our own bar set up with 2 bartenders for our group the whole time of the reception. We did have 4 speeches, the father/daughter and son/mother dances as well. We didn't do the garter toss and bouquet toss because we didn't want too. But there was still plenty of time for dancing. Even afterwards, a lot of our group went to the nightclub to continue partying! 3) DJ Mannia was awesome; they kept our group on the floor all night! Like seriously even in between courses one couple got up on the dance floor for a quick dance to a Spanish song (without being prompted)! I think it was just a song that they reeeaallllyy liked. LOL. PM me your email and I can send you the email that the company sent me with the prices for service fees, different floor rental options, lighting etc. The resort did charge us a percentage for bringing them in as well as a percentage for renting their dance floor instead of using the resort's DJ and services. I'd still do it all over again! The music and MC'ing was awesome. And the resort DJ usually DJ's at the nightclub as well, so I think you'd have to finish your reception by 930pm if you used him. Another tip; if you want to eat with a large portion of your group during dinner on certain nights, you can do so without making a reservation as long as the restaurant has space, and as long as you do it either really early (6pm) or really late (9pm)! We had a group of 50 ppl meet at the Italian restaurant Capers (my fav!) the night before the wedding and they made 3 long tables to accommodate us! Absolutely phenomenal! And no costs! Our group tipped the servers really well too. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have anymore questions!

@@Drnelly910 Yes I did bring my own music for the precessional. I wanted to exchange his services to take place during the cocktail hr but my WC said they couldn't this. So in my package I chose to have a violinist only play while the guests were being seated and after we were pronounced husband and wife. I had a song picked out for the bridal party to walk down to, and I had a different song for me to wall down to. I put both songs on a USB drive and gave to my WC, who had someone cue the music (I couldn't see who it was but it could have been the violinist!). For the cocktail hr I ended up booking the Carribean Trio. @@alwalters625 Hey! They don't care if you do your own makeup. The bridal suite is totally yours and private. My bridesmaid did my makeup and everyone else did their own. No issues whatsoever!

@@DR2015 Thanks so much!!!! And yes we rented the bridal suite, which is a large room in the back of the spa. We had it for 5 hours and they locked all of our items in the room during the wedding (we came and got the rest of our stuff the day after the wedding). Great space for me and my ladies to hang and get ready. The suite has a full bathroom, a small backroom and a 3 way mirror and pedestal. It ended more outlets I felt, since we had so many flat irons and curlers between us! Hahaha. They also gave us large plates of fruit, champagne and orange juice with the suite. For the bridesmaids bouquet I did request that theirs look like mine but with our wedding colors. My WC stated that she could mix up the ivory and purple roses. @@joacevedo15 Thanks so much! Yeah checking out if your date is available is number 1, lol. And once you find that out then I'd be happy to answer any questions! Not sure about weddings on Sundays but you should check with a WC.

@@joacevedo15 Congrats on your engagement! This forum has been the BEST source of info in helping to plan my wedding, and I'm hoping to give back any info and advice that I can! I had a phenomenal time at Now. The service was outstanding. The food was great. The grounds are clean and well kept. Our room was amazing (my hubby and I had the Oceanfront Master Suite). I think in terms of helping make your decision, an important factor to me was considering what deal the resort could offer me and my large group for staying at their resort. My TA was able to do the work for me; contact the resorts we were interested in and they all gave us quotes and a promotion detail (like if you book 5 rooms your 6th is free). Now gave us the best rates and the wedding packages and locations at the resort were impressive. At Now our guests had Deluxe Tropicalview rooms (Preferred and non-preferred) which they all enjoyed. The only thing with that is that although "Preferred" guests are supposed to get specific amenities (like certain pools and restaurants) it appeared no one was checking if you were actually perferred or not. At the preferred pool and restaurant (Castaways), our non-preferred guests walked in and hung out with us the whole time. So save the money and stick with the regular rooms since you won't be in there half the time anyway! I attached a link to pics from my wedding at Now a few posts back. You can get an idea of what the grounds look like as well as decor options and WBA's work. Honestly I felt like this was my perfect wedding day and it was better than I could have imagined! Feel free to ask any questions!

@@Jahanee Conner Thanks so much!!!!! I did get the centerpieces through the resort because just like you, I had too much stuff to pack and carry down there! It was a last minute decision to use their centerpieces. I'd sent my WC ideas for flower centerpieces and she quoted me as high as $285 each! Not happening. So we went with a different flower arrangement which was about half that, still on the expensive side. One option you can do which she told me is that you can rent the vases they have there and just bring the items that you want in them. For example, I saw a centerpiece on Pinterest where there was a square glass vase that had those fake limes in them, then pretty fake flowers to top it off. I think to rent the vase from the resort it was quoted as $10 each. Hope this helps!

@@jeffandrobyn So sorry! It's sammydress.com! Ha! Here's the link to my shoes! http://www.sammydress.com/product840715.html

@@jeffandrobyn Also the ones I ended up wearing I purchased at sammiedress.com. Very comfortable with a short heel!

@@cankem80 Hey! So I got mine from eBay (a lot of stuff for our wedding I found on eBay!). I used the seller "lucollections" and was able to purchase 100 plastic ID badges w/ ziploc closure for $15.99 and free shipping. This fit a business card and the room key card. I put a spiral coil key ring on it too for our guests wrists (found on eBay as well). Our guests loved this and took it with them everywhere! Hope this helps!

OK I finally uploaded my wedding album! http://1drv.ms/1tIAX1i Make sure that you: 1) Sort by Name (Ascending) 2) Click on the Details view Icon 3) Click on first picture title (should be wbaphoto 01) This way you can scroll through pics in chronological order AND get an idea of WBA's work. I did put a few pics that were taken by my friends in the mix. Hope you guys enjoy! Let me know if you have any questions! NOTES: - We had 79 adults and 9 children. We had the Divine Package. - We were married at the fountain of the resort at 4pm. Added the $1,500 wooden walkway upgrade - Cocktail hour was held at the Eclipse nightclub (supposed to be the garden but it rained an hour before the wedding and grass was soggy. My WC Luisa actually gave us this option or the hallways of the ballroom). - Reception was held in the ballroom. We used their centerpieces (sent them pics of what we wanted) and upgraded to tiffany chairs. - DJ service was DJ Mannia. We used this company's DJ/MC Service and their white wooden dance floor. The bubbles and sparklers were not ordered; they just did it! - The tall oversized men just so "happened" to be in the hallway of the ballrooms and just stopped in to say hi! Unplanned and hilarious! Best day of my life for sure!

@jeffandrobyn Hi! I actually found them on ebay! The seller is 8088shoes and they also sell similar stilettos. Hope this helps! Shoes have been sold by the way!

hyoungquist Message me your email addy!

@@Jahanee Conner Thanks! And your wedding is just around the corner! Our wedding was amazing!!!!! We are still in the process of going through pics but I will post as soon as I can! I guess the advice that I would give will mimic the past brides from this forum; don't stress about the small details and the 'what ifs'! The wedding coordinators know what they're doing and they have backup plans for 'just in case moments'. Show them pics of what you want in terms of setup and décor, and they'll make it happen. I seriously brought a 30inch suitcase full of décor and favors, and I'd emailed Luisa (our WC) pictures before we traveled down there, showing how I wanted things set up at the fountain and in the ballroom. She said it wasn't a problem. Then when we got down there, I went through the suitcase of items with her, she said great, and on the wedding day everything was set up like I wanted! Things I would definitely recommend: 1) If you are getting a picture package with the resort, inquire about the "Groom Getting Ready" photos. We ended up adding that to the Passion of Love Package with WBA and it was the best thing to see my now husband hanging out before the wedding. Also, note that their printed pics come in big sizes (like 5x7 or 6x8) that may be too big for some photo albums. We got a CD with our pics so we are just printing them at Walgreens in 4x6 sizes. We love our pictures and our photographer was awesome and really patient (Amalia). If you are getting a video for the ceremony too, make sure you pick out 3 songs you'd like playing in the background of the video. We were caught off guard with this but luckily we both know a lot of music so we were able to come up with songs pretty quick! 2) If you are still wondering about what to do for music for your ceremony or cocktail hour, the violinist is AMAZING! He was included in the Divine Package for the ceremony. I'd already told Luisa that I brought my music for the precessional and my entrance, and told her that the violinist could play while everyone was getting seated. Well while we were lining up I heard him playing "Am I Wrong" by Nico & Vinz. ON THE VIOLIN!!!!! I was jamming! LOL. After the wedding too my cousin told me he played "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke. I'm trying to get video to post for you guys but seriously he sounded crazy good! 3) Pastor Mark Lykins. Just a great man. He presided over the symbolic ceremony and his reading was emotional and just beautiful. Definitely worth the money and it lasted about 20-25 mins, similar to a church ceremony in the states. 4) Don't feel like you need to splurge on a lot of fancy stuff; the resort is beautiful and your guests are going to just be happy to be with you on your special day. For instance, at the reception we got tiffany chairs at $10 each for a group of 90 (crazy I know) and when I look back on it, I could of bought another set of chair sashes and had them put on the regular chairs for $1 each instead. We were going for a more elegant look in the ballroom, and I know the only people who were concerned with that were us because everyone else was partying! I have tons more to share, but it's probably easier just answering questions! Feel free to ask away (just make sure to @ mention me so I get a notice that I've been summoned!). Talk to you soon!

@@Danamarielouise Hey we just got back from our wedding at Now (which was amazing!)!!! When you check in, you'll be given an envelope from the front desk with the date, time and location to meet with your WC. So we flew in on Monday Aug 25, we met with our WC on Tuesday Aug 26th and our wedding was Saturday Aug 30. The meeting was about an hour. You go through the Wedding Planner in more detail to verify info is correct, and if you want to make any changes. Also the WC will give you any recommendations she has about your decisions (i.e. she may suggest charger plates if you don't have them in the planner) but that's completely up to you to change. She'll also go through the décor you brought and you tell her how you want things set up. If you have a package with the photographer, you'll meet with them also. We did 2 excursions on our trip; one Dune Buggie tour and one party boat, which we didn't book until we got down there. I totally recommend waiting until you get down there to book because you can work out discounts. We were hanging at the pool and all day you have tour operators walking around booking excursions. Our party boat actually took us snorkeling and then to a "natural pool" area of the ocean where the water's about 4 feet deep. Booze was served after snorkeling (because they don't want you to be intoxicated before snorkeling, lol). The boat excursion was 3 hours and everyone loved it! We had over 25 ppl and got a private boat, and our guests only had to pay $55/piece! Also, the bride and groom were free! The tour operator for this excursion was SeaPro, and they wear red and white polos. Hope this helps!

@@atyson03 Hey sorry about the late response; I just came back from my wedding/honeymoon (which was absolutely amazing, by the way)!!!! I do like the dress but I decided to go with something more "flowing" for the destination wedding (chiffon material and loose from the waist down instead of form fitting). My hubby didn't know what type of dress I was going to wear but he said that he imagined me in a dress that would flow in the wind on the beach... since this dress didn't do that, I went with another! I purchased the dress eBay so I didn't try it on; I just went by the measurement chart given and knew I could get it altered to fit at a later date. Let me know if you have anymore questions!

Hahahaha I'm sure you'd just need practice! And thanks! The wedding is next weekend and we can't wait! We started packing everything for our trip and I was like oh yeah, I have this extra dress and extra pair of shoes... LOL

I bought this dress online and in a moment of indecisiveness, missed the return timeframe. My loss is your gain! I have an all white lace lightweight wedding dress for sale. It has a beautiful short train and has a zipper back. It's a size 14 and never has been altered. Comes with a silver sash as well but the dress can be worn without it. I only wore the dress once to try on, and it fit me great except in the bust area. I do have the pics from the original seller's site attached. Asking only $125 and the buyer pays shipping (U.S. only). My measurements: Bust 38" (dress was a little big for me around this area) Waist: 33" Hips: 43" I also purchased a pair of 3 in wedge heels online that I also changed my mind about last minute. They're off white (color shown), size 9, have a lace top outlined with rhinestones. They're fun and comfortable and have glitter! Asking only $20 and the buyer pays shipping (U.S. only). Let me know if you have any questions!

@@RaynDrop If you still have ot, how much to ship to 60653?

@@DR2015 Hey there! DJ Mannia's email is [email protected]

@@RebeLight Hi and thanks! Congrats on your upcoming wedding as well! I have confirmed with my WC that they charge $1 per chair sash when you bring your own. I am also bringing fans, our sand ceremony items, favors, fake rose petals, ring bearer pillow and flower girl baskets, which she confirmed I will not be charged a fee for bringing. You will be charged a fee for outside DJ services and items that you rent from them that the resort has. For instance, I am paying a $190 fee for DJ Mannia's service, but I am also being charged an additional fee for renting a dance floor from them, as the resort offers both options. However, when I compared the equivalent services side by side, going outside of the resort for me is saving us close to $600. I hope this helps!

@@JodyEdm Hi and congrats on your upcoming wedding! This thread has made my life better for sure with the huge amount of info here. I would ask your wedding coordinator about the extra 5 people. They are pretty flexible about certain things in my experience so a few extra people shouldn't be so bad! I know for sure that you'll need to 2 sets; my wedding coordinator Luisa confirmed that one set is needed for the ceremony and another for the reception. I had the same question. Good luck with planning!
