@@LeeanneMUA that is great news! Finally a 2015 bride. This site is absolutely amazing I have read so much. And tlseege you are full of great information !!! I emailed Maria about ceremony location and dinner and reception but haven't heard anything it's been a few weeks. I know everyone said they don't take you seriously till 3 months before but I thought it was worth a shot. Would feel better if those 3 important aspects were decided on. So I am trying to sit tight and wait ! We are doing the beach ceremony hopefully and would like to eat at the Portofino restaurant and have pool side reception. I am just trying to decide on some personal things I can bring to make it more personal to us. Does anyone know the decorations they provide and what colours to choose from? And what would be a good idea to bring myself ? Thank you DT

Does anyone know if you can decline the resort photographer to take pictures? We are flying our own in and would rather she just do the photography. Also, how many weddings do they have a day? Would we have to worried about not getting the reception restaurant or private reception locations we wanted ?

Hi I am getting married at GBP coba jan 21, 2015. I was just researching some photographers and every website is saying GBP only allows one local photographer , does anyone know who it is and if they are any good? Thanks Great website, so much to read my head is spinning! Terrilynn
