This had to be approved by the manager, so be sure to request that this happens, especially if you want your ceremony guests to sit on the patio and not in the gazebo.

Lisa- did you have the meal options on your RSVPs? I didnt print that on mines and my invites are going out next week!! booooo .......

 

I did put them on the reply cards, but only half the people replied anyway lol. You should be okay. The other half called to tell us they wanted chicken or beef haha so it really doesn't matter if you put it on the reply card or not.

Hey ladies! I don't remember if anyone used the resort videographer and what they thought. Also, does anyone know what company they use for videos? I know they use Funever for photos but I'm not sure about videos. Thanks!

We booked through catamaya. We have 4 hours with snacks, open bar, snorkeling etc. We are really excited for it!

Randi - how many people are going on the catamaran and what did they quote you? That sounds like a great idea.

WOW!!! That was really quick! I'm glad everything worked out!

Did I read correctly that some of y'all are having your guests are pick their entree (between filet, chicken, salmon, etc.) and then you will have a color coordinated place card so the waiter knows what they ordered?  If so, that makes dinner much easier!

For any of you that are having a rehearsal dinner at El Bistro: did they mention a charge for table/chair rental? Valentina never said anything about this, but Jose (the manager) did. Is this right?

I could be wrong but I think Lady Di may have used them. I know she used the resort photographers and the pictures looked nice. I think we're going to use them as well, might as well. LOL

I'll reread her review to check. Thanks!
