Did you end up being able to use the soloist for your cocktail reception @@niknic456? Anel is telling me I'm not allowed, but I booked my wedding in May of last year and I would really, really like to use the soloist for the cocktail recpetion vs. the ceremony. For brides who did use the solist for the ceremony, how did you incorporate them in? Did they play while you walked down the aisle, etc.?

I am interested in a few of these items, but cannot open the attachments due to not having enough points. Would you mind private messaging me them? Or meailing me at gannonham@@gmail.com? PS - I live in Durham, ON so could either pick-up or do shipping. Thx!

I am so happy to hear this ... I love to eat, LOL! I will try not to indulge TOO much until after the wedding, though What were your favourite restaurants, @@meganator22? And do you know what time the disco stays open until?

That's so exciting, @@vanessav53! I remember how liberated I felt after sending mine. It's officially official Unfortunately I don't have enough BDW points to view your files, but I'm sure they are gorgeous!

I am working with tripcentral.ca Thanks for the welcome cokcktail reception tip, Dina! We were thinking 8pm, so people could spend the day in the pool and meet us after dinner (or before), but maybe 4:30 / 5pm works better so people can meet up pre-dinner. Since we have such a large group of people coming with us, I have a feeling that we are going to show up at a restaurant and meet up with a bunch of people randomly. Most likely, those people are going to want to all eat together. Did you ever have more than 12 people? And did they push tables together for you? Also, are there any late night snack places open? I am thinking there will probably be a few disco nights and we will likely want to grab a bite before heading to bed.

Whoo hooo, 101 days is going to FLY! How long are you guys staying at NOW Sapphire? And do you plan on having events on every day that you are there? For the pool bar meet & greet, I was thinking of something seriously low key - like, as low key as you can get, LOL. It would really just be a poolside meet & greet, bikinis, swim trunks and all. I figure everyone will be there anyway, so why not turn it into something? We have 55 people booked so far and there may be a few more stragglers to book closer to our date, so we will need a place that is big enough to host us all. Speaking of which, question for all you past NOW Sapphire brides. Anel told me that we have to pay per head for anyone over 10 people if we were to do our rehearsal dinner anywhere but the buffet. 1) Did any of you choose to go to the buffet for your rehearsal dinner? 2) Outside of the rehearsal dinner / wedding, did you find it difficult to have bigger dinner groups on any given night? And would they charge you if you were to show up with 12 people? With a group as large as ours, I'm guessing there will be a few impromptu group dinners and I don't want them giving us a hassle to be seated or charge us for eating at an all-inclusive resort. I actually find it kind of silly that they would even charge for a rehearsal dinner outside of the buffett if you didn't need it to be private. I mean, we're spending a lot of money at the resort ... you'd think that they would throw these types of things in. Okay, rant over

Is anyone else having any issues seeing the review @@janders8 did? BDW is telling me I don't have the right kind of profile to view the attachment. If any of you can see it and wouldn't mind either copying and pasting it heer or DMing me, I would greatly appreciate it! @@meganator22, I can't wait to read your review and hear all about your magical day!! @@vanessav53, thank you so much for sending that link along!! I have signed up for webinar and can't wait to get some answers to my questions. I am also not having the best of luck getting speedy responses, but understand that's all part of the destination wedding experience. This Wednesday will mark 6 weeks until I get married at NOW Sapphire - so excited!! I can't believe it is so soon I am also thinking of doing the same thing vs. paying for a private reception. When I spoke to Anel, she mentioned that Moments Lobby Bar would be a good spot for a casual cocktail. I am going between that or just doing a really fun, casual pool bar meet & greet. Hmmmm. The hard part is that we have guests arriving on 3 different dates, so if we wait until all have arrived, most people would have already gotten the chance to share a drink on arrival day 1 or 2.

I was really debating on whether to do a veil or not, but I think I am leaning towards doing one after reading your post.

Adorable!

Loving the sparkle!

Thanks for posting this info @@vanessav53. The sarongs are gorgeous. How do you sign up for the webinar? Is it NOW Sapphire putting it on?

I would have loved these as well, but am getting married in the Mayan. Oh well, I guess the turquoise water and white sand will just have to make up for it, right Mayan brides?

Adorable and very unique.

Lots of great yellow & grey ideas on Pinterest. That was one of the colour schemes I was thinking of, but decided to go a different route. Still love those colours together, though.

I was going to suggest Etsy as well. They have lots of great stuff on there. Another option would be to craft one. I'm sure you could get lots of supplies to do so at Michael's.

Cute!
