I'm about ready to start sending my guests directly to Karisma to book, it's getting ridiculous.

I feel the same way!! And my TA is lying to me. For example, she told me Ryan and I had to book our trip for 7 days in order to get certain things...blah blah blah. Well, I emailed my WC at Le Blanc (who is amazing!!) and she was like "I specifically told your TA that you only needed to book 3 nights." Not really that big of a deal...just annoying.

LOL I do think large tour operators can help you get better deals though. My TA is using a large tour operator and they have the clout to help. I would ask your hotel who is the biggest Travel Agency or Tour Operator they use and try that out. They can also "price match" in case the prices go down after you booked your rooms. Good luck!

That is a great suggestion!!! Thank you so much!!!

Amy what job are you changing to? I'm sure that's very exciting but probably stressful as well!

Hi Ladies.

 

I am so sorry I never got back to you about our wedding -which was fantastic!

 

Almost as soon as we got home, my Father got really ill. He went into the hospital on our one month anniversary, and on the morning of November 5th, he passed away. I was with him. I can't even begin to express how much I miss him.

 

Needless to say, this has been a really horrible time for me and my husband. I am the only child and Mom is out of the picture. My husband was very close to my Dad as well. The honeymoon made a complete halt as soon as we got home, most unfortunately. Vance has been nothing but super supportive -and I am so glad I have him, every moment of the day.

 

The good news is that Dad made it to my wedding. And though he was ill there too, he walked me down the aisle and he was super super proud of both me and of Vance.

For you ladies who's weddings are fast approaching....

The hotel is lovely, the beach was beautiful and the seaweed isn't that big a deal unless your a total wuss. The food was just fine. Zacolo -the mexican restaurant was great and so was the Siena -Italian. Didn't love Zavas terrace, but they were the kitchen that prepared our wedding dinner and it was fantastic -we had the steak and lobster tail.

We totally loved Le Chique and went back for the 14 course meal on our last night (it did cost extra). Las Tapas we wouldn't bother going to again, it was a disappointment.

Our room was the honeymoon suite and was gorgeous.

 

The wedding planners on site were fantastic, we brought our own table runners, pashmina's, feather, lanterns, tea lights, mirrored tea light holders, etc.... we paid them $150 in cash and they set everything up, accommodated for the wind and we loved what they did.

 

Don't worry about a thing once you are there... it will be great!

 

If you have any questions just ask, or pm me. I will try to be more accessible than I have been.

 

Big hugs to all you beautiful brides.

Oh Allisa I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. I am glad he was able to be there to see his daughter get married and walk her down the aisle. That is very special. My thoughts are with you and your husband. Congratulations on your marriage and I am glad you are supporting each other through this tough tough time. I'll be thinking of you!!!

[Allisa]

Thank you Amy.
