Im sure as long as you have all your emails everything will be fine!

 

Same...sigh... this will be my third coordinator!  Yamina was taking a little while to respond, so I guess this explains why.  Is Lorena the only other coordinator?

Hi LindseyM!

We leave in 18 days and I am beginning to pack as well.  I am putting my flowers in a small carry on bag.  I am nervous to have the flowers checked in too.  Try a smaller roller suitcase.  all of my flowers fit with bubble wrap perfectly.  Good luck!  We are almost there!  i can't believe it!

I think that is what I will end up doing!  I know they check them so I am bringing the invoice for the fake flowers.  How many bouquets are you bringing?  I hope I can get them all in.  You bought bubble wrap for them?

[LindseyM]

well that is good to know!!  I think most of our details are confirmed so it's just a matter of making sure Lorena has all the info.  NERVES!!!

I will say that she has been excellent at responding to emails. She always responds timely and her responses always answer my questions. 

Hope this helps! 

Good luck!!!

It was super fun!  We booked it through AMStar before we got there because we got a 10% discount if we booked early through them.  It was around $134 per person.  We left the resort around 12:30 and got back around 5:30 or so.  The people were so nuce there--they even gave my husband and I free t-shirts since we had just gotten married-super sweet.  They had lunch for us after(late-around 4:30) and you could buy coronas and stuff there.

 

I highly recommend it-was a blast!  OH!  Plus, our group was 9 people and they made a deal with us to get all the pictures and video.  It was somehting like $70/per couple for just videos but they gave us our whole group pitures and videos for $150.  We were really happy with that!

Yeh she has been taking a while with mine too, then I got that!  Blah!  Hopefully things go as planned.  I am praying for NO RAIN too!

Try not to be nervous.  They are all so nice there and take really good care of the brides and the weddings.  Try as much as you can to just enjoy every moment----goes by way too fast!!!   Congrats!

You're welcome!  Don't worry, we met Jorge when we went down and he was awesome.  I am sure he is briefed on all of the stuff too.  Good luck!

No no, I think Gina is still there.  I am not sure other than that but Lorena's email is "weddings4" so that makes me think there are four of them!

We cant decide between Xel Ha and Xcaret they both look so good!

Make sure to check into Selavtica too--we LOVED IT:)   And I would recommend booking through AMStar--they were great and did not seem to be marking up the prices.  They actually gave us a 10% DISCOUNT when we booked through them.

Thanks Katie!  I remember how nice it was when we went on our tour and I am sure it'll turn out ok!
