@@leggi my photographer provided a list of common group shots and had me choose the ones I want. Other wise I'm not making a list. I don't feel like I have any photos if him and I that I MUST have. My photographers work is amazing. So I trust his judgement... Anne Marie November 21, 2014-Now Jade

My fiancé and I have been engaged for nearly 7 years so for us it was just about a nice trip together! Air conditioning is why I chose the bamboo room too, however it's not going to be as hot I hope in November! Also, I bought a dress 3 years ago. And just switched it up recently Anne Marie November 21, 2014-Now Jade

We are only bringing immediate family and our very close friends. We did not even invite anyone else. Originally we planned for the bamboo room, however I'm starting to reconsider and thinking about the pool area. I think the bamboo room might be too large. Pilar said I could decide when we arrived because they're both available and we currently have the room booked already. We have the pergola booked for the ceremony. No wedding party since we have so few guests. I'm taking as little decor as I can. Mostly just linens and paper lanterns. I booked @@MomentsThatMatter photography. Booked the divine package. Purple and Mint are my colors. My dress just got here this week and as soon as altered we're nearly done! And I'm excited. The closer we get to the date the happier I am that we decided on a destination wedding. Anne Marie November 21, 2014-Now Jade

@@leggi that sounds like my wedding. Very small. We only have 16 of us total! Anne Marie November 21, 2014-Now Jade

I think it's on the planning document she sent when I booked my date. Anne Marie November 21, 2014-Now Jade

Oh. I'm going to ask about that then! Because my stuff says 65 also Anne Marie November 21, 2014-Now Jade

@@Meg32IL mine did too. But when I asked pilar. She said 150 a person. Anne Marie November 21, 2014-Now Jade

Yeah. The fee was raised to 150. So for 2 photographers it's still 300 Anne Marie November 21, 2014-Now Jade

@@leggi Pilar told me they are not included. They are extra Anne Marie November 21, 2014-Now Jade

I was wondering about this as well. Most the options look like things I would not normally eat! Anne Marie November 21, 2014-Now Jade

We are using Moments that Matter. I think he was pretty reasonable and his works looks amazing. I had to beg my fiancé to agree I let us hire someone outside. But I know we won't regret it! Anne Marie November 21, 2014-Now Jade

I debated bringing my own speakers instead as well. But I believe we'll be by the pool and the first dance is important to me so I decided to rent the sound system, even though it's outrageously priced. We also hired an outside Photographer. I was not willing to risk bad photographs. We'll be using the resort photographer for a trash the dress session. @@leggi when is your wedding? Anne Marie November 21, 2014-Now Jade

Has anyone had any luck shipping anything to the resort? I am debating the idea of tumbler cups for the OOT bags, but I am concerned about having room to pack them.

@@Stack02 that is a SUPER good idea to break it up into events! Anne Marie November 21, 2014-Now Jade What is everyone taking for the cocktail hour, if anything? Anne Marie November 21, 2014-Now Jade

candle23 I'm hoping to start packing soon and we have 84 days! At least all the decorations and things. I have an extensive packing list so my hope is to throw it in the bag, check it off the list and as summer ends we can pack our bags fully! Anne Marie November 21, 2014-Now Jade

You pay the full price of the package, minus the deposit, plus extras and tax I believe. We upgraded from eternity to divine Anne Marie November 21, 2014-Now Jade

I only have about 15 guests, 17 with the bride and groom. A wedding package is definitely worth the money. That stuff is EXPENSIVE otherwise! Unless you don't really care about a private dinner reception, then you might possibly be able to make it work. Anne Marie November 21, 2014-Now Jade @@nrowe32 we better get with it! We only have 3 months! Anne Marie November 21, 2014-Now Jade

I have an extensive excel sheet that I'm continually adding to! I still have about 13 weeks though. Post your lists!

I agree! Packing is giving me severe anxiety! Anne Marie November 21, 2014-Now Jade

That's pretty awesome that you can use your wedding package photographer for the trash the dress session. I didn't know that was an option?

Does anyone have any pictures of a reception set up by the pool area?

@@whitejulie01 I just saw we're the same day!! Just wanted to say Hello

Does anyone know the measurements of the pergola? I was considering bring material in my colors for decoration-but I'm not sure how much I would need? I thought there was a post-but I can't find it now... Anne Marie November 21, 2014-Now Jade

No. You will not have to pay one if they're staying at the resort. the day pass is for people who are not staying there! Anne Marie November 21, 2014-Now Jade

I spoke with them today and the day pass has been raised to 150 apparently because that is what I was quoted. Email as follows: Greetings from Now Jade The outside vendor fee is $350, ( florist, band, decoration company, live music) but this doesn't apply to photographers as they are not categorized as vendors. Your photographer(s) will be required to pay a $150.00 usd per person for a wedding day pass. We request the name and time that the photographers come to the resort. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me. Anne Marie November 21, 2014-Now Jade
