[speedy130]

Just got in yesterday and this place is AMAZING!!!  My fiance and I keep saying to each other, best decision we ever made...and we haven't even gotten to the wedding yet!  You are going to love it!

So great to hear, Speedy! Have an amazing wedding day! ENJOY!

Jennie0521- congratulations on you wedding! I can't wait to read your review! 

 

JoZee84- I am doing a legal wedding there. I thought about doing it here (privately) but I really wanted the first time we said "I do" to be in my wedding dress, and in front of our family & friends. I am not too excited about the blood tests, and everything else we have to bring... but I am excited about the day

 

speedy 130 -  good luck!!!! I hope you have an amazing day. I can't wait to hear about it.

 

I am trying to get everything finalized! I leave in 10 days!!! I can't believe that it is almost here. Lots of planning, but it will be worth it. Every review I have read gets me more and more excited! I finally finished my music for the ceremony and reception (we are using an ipod). That was stressing me out! but it is done! For those of you who used your ipod, (or CD's if you can) how was it? I hope that the sound system sounds great and it will be stress free. Thanks for all your help ladies!!!!!

Hi, Dimax21, We or I am not too thrilled about the blood test either.  But we also wanted this to be our real ceremony.  What else do you need to bring?  I know if you have changed your name or been married before you need birth certificates.  But all I was told I needed was my passport and tourist card.  You leave in 10 days! So excited for you can't wait to hear how it went.  please let me know how all the legal things went including the blood test.  Have fun!!!

Hope everyone is doing well with the planning!

 

From your experiences, are the photographer prices that are stated in the brochure negotiable or are they set in stone?

 

Thanks for the advice! Happy weekend.

JoZee84- Thank you for pointing that out! For some reason I was thinking we needed to bring more. Looking it over all we do need is our passport and tourist card. (and of course the blood tests and medical certificate that we get there) I will let you know how everything goes as soon as I get back! aahhh 9 days now! (not that I'm counting or anything)  

 

Chigacobride2011-  I am so glad everything was perfect for you! I can't wait to hear about it!!

 

tigershoes- my wedding is scheduled at 5pm on the beach May 19th. I will let you know if it is too hot. (I hope not, I'm hoping that the nice sea breeze will help me stay cool)

set. setsetset. I think the only way you MIGHT negotiate it would be if you're having a wedding on a Mon/Tues/Wed or if you book multiple sessions with them (e.g. wedding photog and TTD). for me, it was my single largest budget line item (even having booked La Luna), but now that it's done, I feel really good knowing they'll do a great job, and I've booked enough hours (4 vs the 3 that I was originally considering) for them to do great work.

 

then once I looked back at some of the Royal's items ($10pp for cocktail hour) I was like, "Wow! Affordable!" : ) by all means, you'll have to decide which items are your financial priorities - maybe cutting somewhere else can help you achieve them. good luck!
