Hey @@Mrsdelagarza01 ! Congratulations! I am also leaning towards having dinner at the steak house because I've seen a couple reviews that said it was really good and I don't want to have to pay any extra. So far we have 20 guests that have booked but over half of our wedding party still needs to book so my guess is that we will be right around 40-50 too. I haven't looked at reserving the tequila bar for the reception--how much extra does that cost? My planning is going...we are also have a reception back home so that's where a majority of our money is going to be spent.
I just booked Gonzalo Verdeja for photography and videography. His website is http://www.gvphotographer.com/. I love his photography style and that is the one thing I didn't want to go cheap on because your photos are the only thing you will have forever...you know? He did give me a really good deal though-- 2 photographers for the day of the wedding and a Videographer for $4000 total which includes 6 hours of photography and videography, all rights to the photos which he will put in an online album for us to download, a coffee book table and then a 5-7 minute video from the day. How much is the hotel photographer? I haven't seen anything from them yet...
Did you email them or did they contact you? And how far out did they contact you? Are you doing any extras?
