Laura...Did you have to buy two sets of chair sashes or did they move the ones from the ceremony to the reception?

The truth is they do so many weddings so they are really good at it. I saw them set up a wedding ceremony for 9 pm on a balcony outside the disco because that is what the bride wanted.

That's great to know! Saves me a little money! LOL.. Thanks for your help!

It's definitely three - there's three on my day!
When I first booked I was told it was 2 a day as well but I think because of demand it's changed.

Wow that sucks to hear. I could understand doing two but three....ughhh how do they do the receptions without you running into one another?

My TA stated that kids 12 and under are free too, but you have to pay taxes and transfers, so it comes out to $100-200 depending on time of year

They do not charge you to put your own chair sashes on? What about our colored napkins and table decorations? I was figuring that we would have to run around and do it ourselves. Thanks, the wedding is next week, so we are trying to finalize everything.

Just FYI, I just received an e-mail from Ana from Dreams. I had asked about orange calla lillie's because I really want them for the bouquet's. She informed me that they are considered an "exotic" flower and if I want them I would need to upgrade the flowers (AKA- pay more money!). She didn't quote me an exact price because she would need to know exactly what I wanted, first. But the info I have says that an upgraded bridal bouquet is $120-$180 and bridesmaids bouquet's range from $80-$125.

Just wanted to let everyone know in case your heart is set on orange calla's!

I think this helps me make my decision to just go with the fake "real touch" flowers.

I will be pretty upset that there could be 3 wedding receptions going on the same evening. Mine wedding is on a Thursday so I am hoping that doesnt happen... I cant imagine 2 DJ's playing on the beach and you cant hear the other group?? Has anyone seen this?
