awesome, thank you for sharing. was this photographer from the resort ? or an outside vendor... i dont think Anel is available for mine so Im just curious who else to ask for from the resorts photographers. than kyou

Does anyone have any opinions on any of the photographers at the resort aside from Anel. She might not be available for mine but she emailed me slideshows from Santiago, Francisco and Elina & they all seem pretty nice. Im actually having trouble seeing a big difference from theirs to hers but since shes the one everyone always mentions im just wondering if anyone had any good/bad experiences with any of the others & now how do i choose !? thank you for any insight. Anyone have a slideshow from one of the other photographers of their own wedding they would share with me ?

Ok so my wedding is 1/28/13 and I think that I have received 1 email in the past 4 months from a wedding coordinator! It makes me so nervous. I am worried that once I get down there, they wont have any of the information that I have given them including the locations, times, food choices, etc...

I am trying to fill out the spa form that my coordinator sent me. Does anyone know the pricing for hairstyles for my bridesmaids?

Also, my coordinator also told me that i couldnt bring fake rose petals for decoration... Does anyone else have this problem or has anyone brought their own before?

i totally feelyour pain because I think the lack of communication with the coordinators makes this whole process way too stressful. I had to change my date to a week later and have practically begged Lorena to just say something letting me know that she knows I changed it- and nothing. I just checked and its been about 7 weeks since she has said ANYTHING at all to me. I needed confirmation of times for my invitations and still havent gotten it so my invites didnt go out yet, also I wanted to put my dinner options on the response cards & she has not replied!! i am honestly dissapointed in this process so far, i dnt expect an email everyday but waiting 7 weeks & counting for things that are important is just ridiculous. If I were you id also send it to Evangalina, OR call there! i had to call to change my date because Lorena never answered me and thats how I finally did it. . . although I have no clue if Lorena even knows it was changed.

most people say once you get down there everyhing works out beautifully but thats still no excuse for the lack of communication throughout the whole process!!!!

I see that some of you have trouble getting ahold of your wedding coordinator. My wedding is about 2 months away and once Yamina left i didn't hear anything from Gina for weeks. I started to get really upset although everyone says it will work out when you get down there. I had my travel agent get ahold of the resort and they acutally ended up calling me to talk everything out. If you are using a travel agent you might want to see if they can help you at all. After talking with Gina and Evegalina they basically answer all my emails within a week now. I always copy Eveaglina so she is aware what is going on too. I think she is the manager of that department. Hope that helps everyone

I would recommend Santiago! He did ours and was awesome.. Since it rained on our wedding day, he offered to come back a few days later to do beach photos. He was reallyyy nice and would definitely use him again.

Since im always on here complaining lol i finally have good news.... Lorena finally emailed me ( mabybe shes secretely on this thread lol ) & she sent me a ton of great information that for some reason i havent had this whole time. She sent me an attachment with things confirmed such as my date, times and locations etc, she also sent me an attachment with pictures of the different locations, and also an attachment with a wedding timeline example. . . i am VERY happy i don't know if drc always had these things made up and she just never sent them to me, or if its new but its def. a weight off my shoulders!!

does any one know where "fantasy island" is ? looks very pretty and its listed as a "location with an extra fee of 2800" but i am not sure where it is. also i might have under 60 ppl and it shows the pool deck which is what she confirmed for me and it says " minumim of 60 people " but OH WELL she already confirmed it !! lol

id be happy to pass these attachments along for anyone who might need them because like i said, this is the 1st i am seeing them! if i can figure out how to post them on here I will!
