Do they only do a BBQ reception at the Beach resort or is this something that can be done at the Suites?  Anyone know?

I asked about eating on the beach and was told it was not an option (at the suites).  However, I am finding that some people are being given different options that others.  I am quite stressed right now... I sent my final wedding details almost two months ago. I have no restaurants confirmed and they just emailed me and told me that I have to source my own flowers. Because I am having my ceremony off site, they won't deal with flowers for the reception/centerpieces for me. I am only four days away from leaving!! I just sent an email to Tai Floral with the msg line- "HELP!!" in hopes that they can help me out on such short notice. She originially told me $350 for the slide show and just told me now it's $450 and that they have to source it from an outside vendor... which means it's not even booked yet. I have two bridesmaids that spent weeks making the slideshow and now I worried that they may not have equipment for me. Also, I am bringing my own gluten free cake mix because I am celiac. She told me that they would do it for free since I am bringing the ingredients. Now she tells me it's going to be $160. I am just praying that everything will work out at this point! I know whatever happens, we'll make the best of it and I am not going to stress once I am there.. what will be, will be. However, right now just days before leaving I am not impressed with the wedding coordinators.

Oh wow ...I am so sorry you are already having issues...Have you been keeping the information she was giving you thru email? If so I would try to email management or the public relations manager there to get things sorted out. Her email address is [email protected] I believe she handles it for all 3 resorts. Lateley I have been getting my email responses within a few hours of sending it to them. Hopefully you can get it straightened out before u leave or as soon as you get there.

 

Best of luck.

 

Felicia....

 

P.S. I am also going to PM this info to make sure you get it.

THANK YOU!!! 5 was actually perfect.  There was a wedding the day before and 2 days after it rained at 4 both days so they wound up pushing it back til 4:30 anyway.. Seems like the crazy weather hits between 4 and 4:30 and was usually done by 4:30/4:45.  We didnt get rain but we had crazy wind...

I'm toying around with pushing it back to 5...but perhaps not since I already have schedules being set with our vendors.

 

 

I must say I loved my set up.  Nicole was awesome.  We did our first dance in the Calabash as soon as we walked in.  They had the music set-up just for that purpose and we did not have to pay for the "private" reception.  We did the garter on the beach during the bonfire and did not pay to have the bar upgraded.  The bonfire was from 8:30-11:00 (it was scheduled to end at 10:30) and would probably have gone longer without added cost but we we all exhausted and left while the dj was still playing music)- Th cost of the bonfire was $250 and the dj was $300 (for 2 hours)

Q00uote:

I was planning on springing for the BBQ Buffet reception on the beach for three hours with a DJ. But the way you did it seems more cost efficient. Did you have the bonfire for 3 hours? If so, how much was it?

Thank you Ladies for sharing your photos on here! you both look Beautiful!!!!! Makes me soo excited for my day in February!!

[mrsdeloatch2be]

Hey there sorry you are having such a hard time.  Nicole is truly awesome and makes sure that everything comes together once you are there. 

 

I did a cocktail reception on the beach right after the ceremony with food and drinks.. Call Jodi @ Tai Flora.. It is easier to get through by phone then email. 

Also, I wouldnt worry about things being booked.  They have a wide variety of vendors and people they use for the weddings so they can call people at the last minute to make sure your day is special. 

 

Im not sure how much input I can give since you are getting married off-site, but feel free to PM me if you have questions.
