My site trip

[Alisarosenbaum]

Hi everyone! We returned from our site trip last week and have almost everything figured out!! All you girls were so helpful. We decided on the Hilton. We just loved our posh it is, Emeline is great, and they have such great venues. We decided to do 3 nights of events. The first night is sort of a mini event, but we are doing a beach bonfire with smores and light food and margs and beer. Second night we are almost 100% doing the RD at La Panga, and the wedding will be at the Hilton. We met with a couple photographers, and are leaning towards Sergio (if anyone has used him let me know if you liked!!). We are doing a wedding cake with Chef Hatton (over 1/2 less than what Hilton is charging for a cake). Maye is arranging the music and flowers. She wants to use Flor de liz for flowers and either DJ Arturo Ortiz or DJ Ricardo. Her musicians are Sabrosura. Does anyone have any experience, either good or bad, with these venders? Ohh..such a FYI..one the way from the airport you pass this place called the Mega (sort of like a super target). We stocked up on beer and water and bread and PB and J, great way to save a TON of money!

Thanks for sharing. Personally, I haven't boked your vendors but I am aware of most of them. I haven't heard anything negative so rest assured that the main event will turn out perfectly.

 

Re:Mega does it sell fresh flowers, candles, votive holders etc.?

Alisa! congratulations on finding your site...you get to join the hilton club with MM, kash, Kristie, etc.

 

DJ Ricardo(rebecca, natasha) is a member of the forum...a few gals used him recently and really liked him. i have heard good thinks about chef hatton...i think if you do a search you will find some info on her. and emeline is really helpful...now that you found you site, its on to the fun stuff!

Jenetta,

 

I do not remember seeing flowers at Mega. They did have a couple candles and votives, but not a big selection. There is a Costco there, and I believe the membership is international, so we are planning on joining here for $50, and using it there for wine for the RD and champagne for the wedding (we are paying corkage) and all teh stuff for the out of town bags.

Jenetta - no flowers at the Mega, sorry I don't remember seeing candles either, but they may have a few.

Alisa -- thanks for the review (even though we ahd already emailed )

Is this your photographer? Sergio Photographer

 

If so, I haven't heard anything about him, but Sol Tamargo referred him to me when I was looking - and I know she's great!
