Love the simplicity! This might motivate me to get off of BDW and Pinterest to do something!

So we've come to the conclusion that the resort photographer isn't going to work out. I don't want to chance him having a bad day on OUR day, and looking back on past brides, I'm scared! I've contacted Gonzalo Nunez, and we're pretty excited bc his portfolio is amazing! Any thoughts ladies??

Has anyone done a butterfly release during their ceremony? I'm looking into it, wanted some feedback. (:

Does anyone know if the resort still has construction going on on the side opposite of the harbor? It was going on last fall, wasn't quite sure what they were doing, but curious to know if it has been completed and what they did.. ?

. Best of luck, it's going to be absolutely beautiful! Be sure to tell us everything when you return!! (:

150 posts seem like an eternity :|

I'm wondering about how pilar is going to respond to swapping things out with our pacakage also. I've heard she's pretty flexible but then there's those few reviews where she's not. I've yet to contact her about anything bc I figure if I just send one huge email when I have it all figured out, itd be best.

Moriches, Long Island Bride here (:

Ok, some people are a little over dramatic on tripadvisor! My fiancé and I stayed at the Jade last September and it was amazing. We're getting married there 9/23/2014 and I know it will be perfect. I worry about not having complete control of everything the day of but these people do this for a living, so we have to trust them. And as for trip advisor, no place is perfect, and much of trip advisor consists of people that travel often and may be comparing their experience at the jade to a place that might have been a little more nicer or pricier.. & then there's the people who just like to complain about everything and are NEVER happy.. but everyone is going to have their opinions. I wouldn't stress over it too much, like I said we've stayed there and were impressed enough to have our wedding there, it cannot be all that bad. Not to mention all of the positive Jade brides on BDW. (: I've yet to purchase mine because I've been slacking on this whole wedding planning thing, but after 2 months of shopping around for the best price, it looks to me that www.justartifacts.net is winning and I also came across this site, www.save-on-crafts.com which has a lot of useful wedding stuff!

MIX bar*** I lied lol

the moments bar is great, it overlooks the beach so you get the whole beachy vibe. The bartenders are also pretty nice and will let you play your Ipod if you ask. Def the best spot there. We stayed at the jade last fall and are getting married there in sept. Thank god ive been there, makes planning that much easier!

I stayed at the Jade last September, and am getting married there next September! We did the Hydrotherapy and it's definately worth it. I've never done the HT before, but it was the sauna, steamroom and whirlpool.. It's was definately relaxing and nice that the spa wasn't packed with people..

Hey all, does anyone know if the buffet is an option for a smaller group? We're intending on 25 or less guests.. but we have to figure out a way to work out another menu since my fiance is allergic to shellfish. Does anyone have any ideas?
