  1. Hi Zilla, I'm doing my boat excursion through paradise catamarans. They have great reviews and I even met with them when i was down there. Check out their reviews: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g153510-d815084-Reviews-Paradise_Catamarans-Puerto_Aventuras_Yucatan_Peninsula.html Also, I'm also interesting in requesting the better photographer at blue lens (wedding day story). Can you please let me know if you find out anything about the photographers that work there. Thanks, Anna
  2. Great pictures @Catfoxinabox Everything looks beautiful! I'm currently planning for my wedding and undecided about certain menu items. What selection of appetizers did you decide on for the cocktail hour? Any suggestions? Also for the welcome party I'm thinking I might do the mexican BBQ but I noticed that there are 2 types of Mexican selections. What did you go with? Any suggestions for welcome BBQ?
  3. So I found out some information from Blue Lens (Soon to be called Wedding Day Story). Below was sent to me through email: To provide you further information about some recent changes, Blue Lens Caribe is now being re-branding to WeddingDayStory! This is the name under which we have been performing weddings in Dominican Republic, Costa Rica and Los Cabos for the past five years. We found this name saying much more about who we are and what we do. We are story tellers... Therefore, the "Blue Lens Caribe" identity was just no longer a good fit. We are still working on proper changes towards our web site and blog. Please bear with us
  4. I've noticed this as well. I've been talking to them through email the last few weeks and will let you know if I find anything out.
  5. Great tips, thanks! I'm still undecided about my location. Hadar or Gabi Club. I'm afraid that it might be too hot outside for an outdoor wedding. How was your experience with the weather on your wedding day? Was it uncomfortably hot? I'm getting married in May. Has any other brides have bad experience with an outdoor wedding being too hot?
  6. Congratulations!!! Happy to hear everything went as planned. I met with Aurora on site as well she is great. Any helpful tips you can give us brides? Also did you have a 3 hour reception? Did you feel the need to extend it for the extra money?
  7. I plan on bringing a bunch of things down as well. I emailed another florist today which was rated top on this website. I will let you know their response. Lets keep in touch. How many guest are you expecting and what package are you doing?
  8. @@Catfoxinabox @@MG1215 I'm getting married at the paradisus on May 16, 2015. I been communicating with Cecilia from Alquimia through email. Although she has been very nice and helpful, I'm a little frustrated with their pricing. I recently sent her pictures of a beautiful centerpiece which I know would be pricey but was very surprised. Ivory roses with White Holland hydrangeas and 4 phalaenopsis orchids $900 usd plus taxes without orchids $460 usd plus taxes each. Most high arrangements that are too my liking (Roses nothing fancy) cost $500+. I live in a pretty pricey city (NYC) and i'm positive that I can find cheaper flowers here. I too feel like I'm getting ripped off. My next step was to checkout what other flower vendors charge and maybe bringing this up to someone from the wedding team at resort. What are your thoughts? @@KK2013 what was your experience like. Were they flexible on pricing? If you don't mind me asking what did you budget for flowers?
  9. @@KK2013 thank you. I plan on doing the tailor made package and I'm trying to figure out any extra cost outside that package. I can only think of flowers, photography and DJ. Are there any major cost that I may be missing?
  10. @Catfoxinabox I'm also using Wendy Hicks from Wright Travel. Although I recently just started working with her she seems really knowledgeable and has always been available for any questions. @@KK2013 do you have a detailed wedding review on this website or blog that we could read?
  11. @@KimmyA I'm thinking about flying in my own dj from NY. I'm currently looking into prices for equipment rental. @akimmy when I signed the initial contract they told me I didn't have to make a decision on a package yet since it was based on the number of people. I would think you could change it.
