Yes they can! Very expensive however

BTW IM MARRIED!! We come back tomorrow but thought I'd check in real quick since everyone has left but us. ask anything.

Everything was absolutely amazing!! You girls will not be disappointed. It was beyond my every expectation. They are just awesome!!! More later. . .

Congrats Julia!!! I'm so glad everything went well! Thanks so much for sharing!

One question, how many people did you have? I'm in the GPR gazebo, too and really didn't want to put all the peeps inside. We're having 23 people. Do you think that many will fit outside?

I'm starting to think about them now and hoping in the next two months to start buying the items but I wanted everyone's advice. I know at some resorts the cups are worth it but I heard at others its not.

I did koozies & thought about the insulated mugs jcooper mentioned above. On that other Playa forum (playa.info), lots of those peeps recommend those "Bubba Keg" mugs. I still might do those if I can find some affordable ones or a good deal. I decided not to do the beach towels just because the resort has them for free.

Wow, I just can't get away from the forum haha!!

I saw many weddings and, although we did not use one, I heard a harp several times and it was absolutely beautiful! I also saw several mariachi bands play during the cocktail hour, never during the receptions. BTW if I have one piece of advice, especially if you have a large group, pay for the extra hour for reception, it is def worth it. My reception was very late in getting started and we had only been dancing for about 45 minutes before our 3 hours was up and added on an hour. We felt very rushed in getting all the dances in (ie father/daughter, 1st dance etc. ) and the cake cutting and speeches. That is my ONLY complaint!!!!

this resort is so amazing I am kinda depressed to leave tomor!!!

I'd like to say congrats to astreit!! I watched her wedding and it was sooooo gorgeous! Congrats!

 

off to one last dinner!
