    Our cake table was pretty small...but I think they can use larger ones. Ours was probably 4x4.

    Everyone LOOOVED the key holders, for room keys and tip money. Everyone used them the whole trip. everyone had bags too, but the key holder was nice because you could clip it to your bag or whatever and it woudnt get lost and you always had tip money really handy. Most people kept track of ppl room numbers in their cell phones though....so those did not get used as much as I thought they would

    Tracyannhoward. I did a who's who, but no one used it. They were still cute though. I have examples on my planning thread.... The map I used I just got off Google if I remember correctly.... http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/index.php?/topic/78208-Amarie4713-Now-Jade-Planning-Thread

    @@jayejayelynn they will use your own make up if you take it in to them...I had really great weather, so I didn't get too cakey from sweat or anything, but I can definitely see how it's possible... Really, I wasn't too worried about the make up because my best friend is an esthetician and I figured she could fix it if I hated it.

    No. I didn't pay for one because I didn't have one. Thanks so much. I was VERY happy with my hair and make up both
  7. amarie4713
    Nope...I only took my picture. They have a whole cabinet of make up. I did not pay for a trial. I did have a hair trial though because I have thick, curly hair and I wanted to be sure!
  8. amarie4713
    Thanks! Those were by far the best thing I took, it really added alot!
  9. amarie4713
    Yep, I took pictures of exactly what I wanted and that is what they did.

    My hair and makeup looked awesome.

    My biggest stress was by far packing!! Start packing early! I was so panicky right before we left my husband had to keep me from totally losing my mind!

    I tipped everyone who did anything for us that worked for the resort, the mix bar bartender the servers at the reception, wedding coordinator, hair and make up stylist. I didn't tip the resort photographer, but only because I forgot all my cash in the room because we did a trash the dress session. We had a wedding of about 20 ppl, I gave Carmen 50, each server and the bartender 20, hair dresser 20. I believe that some other members of my wedding party also tipped them more, like my dad and father in law That was in American dollars

    No, I did not tip my photographer because he owns his own business. We brought an officiant with us, so we didn't tip them, but I have heard of people doing that if they're not having a legal ceremony down there. And we did not have a DJ. I think the rule of thumb is if they own their own business, you don't tip, and if they work for another organization, you do tip.
  14. amarie4713
    No, I tipped the one that came to the reception and did all the actual work, for me it Was Carmen. I tipped her at the end of the night when I tipped the servers before we left...my dad had all of our tip money.

    I did not declare my OOT bags. But I had all my receipts and totals ready for customs just in case.
  16. amarie4713
    I had to pay 150 a person for my photographers, I would imagine that hair and make-up would fall under this price range.
  17. amarie4713
    I don't really have any better pictures of the reception set up, no. Because it was dark, photography was hard. Those are the best I have of the table set up and decorations.
  18. amarie4713
    Yea. What is your email?
  19. amarie4713
    I paid by credit card. Cash for my photographer.

    There was music at the cocktail hour. There is a list of songs the gutarrist knows. I only picked the song I walked down the aisle too and let him play whatever he wanted. You do not get 45 minutes worth for sure...but it was so beautiful. I can send you the songs available if you want me too. I'm unsure about the castaways bar and floor. We had our reception at the pool

    Oh ya! the video. That makes the divine worth it. I forgot.

    We had the guitarist at the ceremony and it was beautiful. We use Moments that Matter Photography and they were amazing, about 3400 for 5 hours. I would recommend them to anyone. They were affordable, professional, and overall amazing. Worth every penny. We used the resort photographer for a trash the dress session, they were ok, not great, but acceptable. We didn't use the private dinner on the beach or the champagne breakfast. But once we got there, I didn't care about the extra money we spent that probably wasn't worth it.

    Not At All. I took out of town bags for my guests so I had some canvas bags I used for packing. And tshirts. I was really tight on space. And I actually took almost 30 vases and only used 18. Not one broke. I took 6 small bouquets for my chairs and all my out of town stuff in the same suitcase. My chair sashes, napkins, table runners, vases...the water beads were awesome because they travel Soooo small.
  24. amarie4713
    I do not have any pictures of the whole set up. It was dark when we got there. These are the best I have.
  25. amarie4713
    For a buffet you have to have more than 50 people I think. I'm not sure on pricing for this, we were under 25 people. I took vases in varying heights, water beads, led lights, paper lanterns and lights for them. my reception was outside. I also took chair sashes, table runners, and napkins. Rachel I will send you mine, have I emailed you something before? I think I might have you email address already...what is it?
