My two cents is that even with a divided ballroom (you know how they close 'sliding doors' that partition it out), it wouldn't look so great. You always have to spend more on decoration indoors than outdoors. So that's a point to consider. I, myself, am planning on having an indoor reception, but with a larger guest count. If I had yours, I'd do it outdoors. Either way, it will be beautiful! Good luck

smithandsweet - Hopefully you won't have too many problems!

To be honest (I know I sound stupid/crazy) I've never seen my contract, my TA has all of that. They did tell me who I could use without being charged the outside vendor fee and I have all my emails in a file of what they have said the cost would be for the other vendors I've chosen. They seem like they wont go back on their word if you have it in writing so my whole wedding file is coming with me in case they try to change things up when we go to pay! For the menus, did you want the one for over 50 ppl or the one for 50 and under? Britt Hi Britt - Sounds like you have a great TA! I haven't gotten to the wedding planner part yet, so I don't have the vendor list, etc.. But, I can't wait to get moving on that. Glad you got all your info and thanks for sharing it! So great to have these boards, and other brides like you! ) Yes..from what I've read, if you have it in writing (email is fine), you're set! Nice to see you around here again.

Dina - only one week! Who else is up next?? How are you girls holding up?

Flo - I never thought about how much more I'll be able to look at. This is a job without a paycheck! Ha ha ha

Does anyone know if the chapel they have has a/c?

Girls - I'm so sad and almost ready to quit on Moon Palace. ( Trying to sort out the Wedding Ceremony Contract with them has been a nightmare. Instead is removing a clause about an extra fee per hotel guest not booked through the group booking, they add this: Any other item not mentioned in this agreement is not part or included in the package, extra charges would apply. Did you girls have to go through all this?

Thanks Shanna, This is such a relief to hear!

But it will be hotter and my guest would be under the sun for the cocktail. But on the other hand, as you say, more time for pictures... Thanks, we'll see!

France!!! If budget wasn't a concern, would you invite everyone you know to your wedding?

Lol!!! I totally messed that up, didn't I? But it helped you with your 150 Flo! xox

Congrats on the 150. I'm close. You'll have to tell us which was the first template you opened.

Lol Flo! I want to see those t-shirts! Maybe a message on the website under a 'concerns' tab. You click on it, and the message comes out! Ha ha ha

Lol! Love it! I haven't even started. Just now finalizing contract and date, etc... Then the 'fun' will begin.

I'd love to see actual budgets for those doing a dw at an Al.

Don't you wish it was all just about the wedding - pretty flowers, ceremony details, what music/dance for the reception. Best wishes flo

Ja ja Ja Cierto. Estoy firmando el contrato pero será en Junio. Y tu?

Thanks. Two hours before is 5:26. So, do I go for 5 or 6?

Shannon, So did you have to pay extra for the two that booked through other means for their attending your private events? Thanks so much, Hellen

Britt - Can I have them, too, please?

Britt and Shannon - So did all your guests book through the same TA? - Britt - Are the exceptions for the vendors (photographer, florist) listed on your wedding contract? Julie - Yes, I'm getting married in the chapel and got to see it. I'm also doing an indoor reception and saw the two ballrooms I want. Cocktail is still up in the air. Everyone is so nice. Those of you that have menus, etc... Can you email them to me please? [email protected] I'm editing/negotiating the contract now and want to close any loopholes through which they can unexpectedly charge me for things. PS - The first draft they sent me sais they can change the Date, time and location of the wedding anytime. ?!!!! YIKES!! Was this on everyone's contract? Hugs girls

MTM - For early June, which time Is better for a ceremony 5 pm or 6 pm, with optimal light or pictures in mind. I want to balance having light with trying to avoid as much heat as possible. Ceremony will be about 30 mins. Cocktail might be outside, reception indoors. Thank you!
