I'm trying to decide on a hairstyle and I keep hearing that it's best to put it all up, away from your face b/c of strong winds? Is that true? Also, this is probably a dumb question but is there A/C in the rooms? Vgirl, I'm attaching examples of ceremonies that Maribel sent me. I'm in the middle of writing mine. I'm using the "religious" one and changing it up quite a bit and hoping for the best!! We don't want an overly religious ceremony but I liked the format of that ceremony better.

And i still cant see and attachments or anything when will i be able to do that? And the receipt thing is that for real cause i didnt save any for the things i bought?

Angela, There are lots of posts pertaining to receipts. There are templates out there that you can create new ones for yourself. You and your FI are limited to amounts of items so watch that closely. Off hand, I can't remember for sure how much it is but am thinking it was like $300 worth of stuff per person.

We got questioned heavily about the wedding stuff and I kept saying , I only had $100 worth of wedding stuff and the rest was personal. When he finally pushed the light, we got a green so didn't get checked. I made sure I had all the receipts handy though, just in case.

Angela, yes we are flying in an outside photographer. I am doing the same thing and referring to her as our "cousin" who just happens to have a ton of professional lenses and loves to take pictures I also told my WC and she didn't make a comment about it (sent her a list of questions/comments). I think the consensus is, so long as the photographer is staying overnight at the resort, MP doesn't seem to mind. I think the rub would be if I hired a photographer from MX and they had just a day pass--might be more blatantly competing with their onsite photographers. Either way, they have no way to prove your photogapher isn't just your guest, so I'm not too worried about it.

 

Btw, i took cutierosie's idea/advice and typed up a word document with all of my questions and comments, broken out by event (welcome dinner, cocktail hour, reception, etc) and listed out in detail what I wanted or what I needed more clarification on. I listed out our menu (I mixed and matched from the options), pasted pictures of the bouquet and centerpieces I wanted, etc. I'll be sure to print this document out and have it with me when I meet with my WC. I'm also creating a binder where I'll put the word document, receipts and emails from certain vendors we've hired and all email correspondence with the resort as back-up.

 

We're going with the DJ--Alejandro. We were able to negotiate. There's always room to do that I've learned! We're doing the 4 hour package with slideshow. We figured we wanted a bit of the traditional wedding feel--best man and matron of honor speeches, possibly even the DJ announcing us and the bridal party and then the music responsibility left up to someone else. He assured us that guests can make requests and that he'd feel out the "crowd".

Ok, has anyone used MP's design company, Zuniga? I got a bunch of attachments from our onsite coordinator with different options, and I am looking at their website, Zúñiga Productions | Special Event Services for Groups and Conventions, and they have some beautiful options. I wanted to know how the service was, and was pricing reasonable. Thanks!
