Bye Kelie! (think I missed the boat on that one- lol she's already gone!)

 

We are going to Scotland in March for our honeymoon. It's where we got engaged and we'd like to see the rest of that country

My FI and I are getting married in May 2011. We are concidering the Paradisus cuz we LOVE the ceramony/reception site. We are big beach people and the only thing that concerns me is all the seaweed on the beach I see in pics on TA. (silly I know) To any gals that have been did the beach dissapoint?

Missyri, congratulations!! I have not been yet but hope to prior to our wedding. Kelly will be back soon so she can fill you in.

 

I have read and heard from other brides that they do clean the seaweed up a few times a day and they make every effort to clean it up especially for weddings.

Kellie - I agree, when we were there the wedding team was GREAT and very personable. Im kinda having second thoughts if we should do the Gazebo wedding instead of the beach since its so windy. Also, thanks for working on the mariachi band with them!! haha.

 

What room will you be staying in when you go there for your wedding?? I want to do the biggest suite, but dont know how much that is going to be...

 

Glad you had a great time & welcome back!

Kelly, I am still debating on my centerpieces because I just can't justify spending so much when the background is so beautiful as it is. Where there prices reasonable? Are you going for the table of 5 or 8 or 10? Did you find the restaurant reservation system strange? I've been reading alot about that on TA. Did you go to the spa at all or meet the woman that does hair there? Wasn't sure if you had made a decision on that yet or not.

 

So glad to hear that you loved it! So exciting!!

Did they say if you had to pay a vendor fee for the hairstylist? I wanted to bring a hairstylist and makeup artist and she told me it would be $300!! I thought at least just a day pass but not so much!

 

I really want to do a tall centerpiece too as that is what I envisioned when we were thinking of doing our wedding locally but that is also before I knew how much they cost!!!

Welcome back Kelie! Not wedding related at all but did they give you a discounted rate to stay there for your site visit?
