We just used maracas Mexico also for our wedding in September and it was $200 for 20 maracas. It was like $5.50 each and there was a shipping cost. They were so responsive and I was a bit nervous at first because they had me send the money through western union but they were perfect!! Very easy to work with. I contacted them originally in feb, but fell out of communication until the beginning of august.

Thank you so much! We actually rented the LOVE sign from Alquima- the vendor that does the extra decor. It was $400 including tax. We thought it would be a cool sign to give some light and to take pictures around! So, for the pictures, we thought the 2 hours was more than enough time. We did a first look from 4:30-4:50. Then we had the ceremony from 5-5:30, the cocktail hour from 5:30-6:30 and sat down for dinner after that. I think we actually probably did not even use her the full 2 hours we paid for. So, for the ceremony, they "give" 20 minutes for that in addition to what you rent them for. We did not want any of the getting ready or reception pics. Our big thing was our first look, the ceremony and pics after of us on the beach. So, we thought it was perfect! It really all depends on what you are looking for from your pictures. We did bring the lanterns and lights. We paid $50 for them to hang them. We brought 30 lanterns with little LED lights and the 4 sets of lights around the poles. We did not want the Las Olas lights on at all, but it turns out they only had enough time to hang 15 of them with only 1 of our LED lights in each, so we needed the las olas lights they have in the corner. Even with all of that, it was not too bright and we were happy with it. Our ceremony was at 5 and we probably turned on the lights around 7:30.

Hello there! So I finally got our professional pictures uploaded on google photos. We just used beach wedding studios through the hotel for 2 hours and they were amazing! I believe they are called seasons wedding studio now. https://goo.gl/photos/bJf6TAdU16mhTmXF6 The gazebo is permanent and with the wedding packages, they will put the drapes around the poles and also the carpet runner and the starfish and shells along it. The food was amazing. We did the scallop with mixed greens for an app, seafood bisque for soup and then the filet and scallops app. We did the chocolate agavero cake for dessert and it was really rich. Then for our wedding cake we had 2 different flavors- one being tres leches which was SO GOOD. I only have a time line for our spa day and hair/makeup appts and then our photographer timeline for first look and ceremony. Once we sat down for the reception part, we just did it however we wanted since there was only 18 of us. I'm happy to answer anything else that anyone needs though! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey ladies! So we are down to just over a month until our wedding! It came so fast! Does anyone know if there is lighting in las Olas? We purchased 30 Chinese lanterns that they are going to hang for us so we can put the lights in there and hope that is enough, or get some string lights also. I was hoping to have the Chinese lanterns hung more randomly than following the pattern of lights, but I also want my guests to be able to see their dinner! We are not doing a DJ, so we won't have the extra lighting from that. Thank you so much! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
