Also, has anyone who is travelling with Air Transat talked to their travel agent about the three new wedding packages that they are offering at the Barcelo They seem quite reasonably priced if you have 10 or 12 people flying out of the same place, etc, but I wonder if you'd get the same level of service from the people at the hotel if they're not getting all of the $$. Txs in advance.

Hi beachbride17. I noticed you have your weddin date set for January 28. We are having ours on January 30. I thought I'd give you a shout out. How is everything going?

The WC's definitely get much better once your wedding is about 2 months away...so don't stress! I'd also be interested in hearing about what people picked for dinner and cake. I'm still a little undecided about the menu. Did anyone have the cocktail hour with apps? I'm going with the Mexican package but not sure what apps to pick. Any suggestions? THanks!

We had a food tasting in July when we were down there....everything was DELICIOUS!!! My fiance's family is straight from Italy, so this was very important to us. We were so nervous....but were soooo surprised and happy!! Even the presentation was amazing!

Hey dbares,

Great to see someone else getting married around the same date. Planning is going okay. I still haven't received the menu yet and can't decide if I want to pay the extra for the reception in an outside grill Getting a little stressed but I know it'll all come together. How is your planning going?

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm going down to Barcelo for a site visit in a couple of weeks. Anything anybody wants me to ask in particular? Anything you would suggest for me to ask for myself? I'm worried there are lots of things I'm overlooking :-)

 

Thanks!!!

Thanks for posting the photos BethBride! Can't wait to go for my site visit in January! Question about the food tasting- did you have to pay extra for that?
