What area of the forum do you find these lists. I guess I haven't been to every area yet!

UGH! I hope I don't have to wait until 30 days. I'll have to check my contract. That would suck. I was so excited.

Although, I remember while back they put me in touch with a WC about food prices - but she never responded to any of my 4 emails. I hope she isn't going to be considered my WC...that was literally back in December...

Tina, under general wedding information there is a section with to dos in it. It's the first link, but I can't remember...the traditions and to dos maybe?

Anyways, I just clicked through there til I found a few and I'm working on making my own based off of those!!

Hey everyone,

 

Does anyone have any opinions about the different Gazebos? I just found out that we are scheduled to be a Bugambilia gazebo and the terrace for the cocktail hour. However, we are scheduled to stay at the newer section on the other side of the resort. I am thinking about seeing if we could be switched to the Tucan gazebo since it is much closer to the Grand Moon section. I would like the cocktail hour to be right near the gazebo though... Any thoughts or suggestions?

 

Thanks!

Erika

Hey Erika! I've heard both the gazebos are pretty, but the Tucan has a longer walkway. I know I'm supposed to be in the Tucan gazebo. As for the distance, I know they offer the golf cart transportation, so if you stayed at the Bugambila gazebo, it should be okay!

Okay, so maybe this is a stupid question I should know the answer to, but apparently, I don't!! LOL.

 

So, say after our ceremony we have dinner in one of the restaurants and then decide to have some dancing/reception time. I know we have to pay for the sound system, but would we have to pay to use the space? How much would it cost to have a bar set up? Would we have to pay for like a cocktail reception even if we didn't want food?

 

Does anyone know?

I'm definately partial to the Chapel Gazebo. It doesn't have the arches that the other two do. There is glass in the windows to block out the wind. The entrance (in my opinion) is far superior because there is a wrap around pond/creek water feature with a little bridge that you cross to get the gazebo. The altar is a light color that works better with the rest of the color scheme. And there are pretty pews instead of the white chairs.
We had a small wedding party and the minimal amount of chairs would have been depressing.

Hi Erika,
We're getting married in Bugambilia and we're having our reception at the terrace. I'll probably check out the other areas while I'm there just to see the differences. I'll let you know when we get back.


Would anyone like some specific pictures of any of the areas? We leave a week from tomorrow and I can try to grab a few snapshots of places while we are wandering around. If so post it here and I'll try to get them all....
