hmm... I havent really planned that much yet. ...

Most people are arriving on Wednesday and Thursday before the Saturday wedding. I want to do a Welcome party on Thursday (but will only do this if I get "free events". If I dont qualify, then we will just meet at the lobby bar).

I want my guests to enjoy their vacaction, so I am not going to plan anything on that Friday.

Then Saturday is the big day! Wedding starts at 5PM. Cocktails from 5:30 to 6:30. Then off to dinner.

But everything depends on what we quailfy for.

I am getting the Amber Collection as well. It doesnt match prefectly with my hot pink and orange....but owell. lol AND I know that I want a mariachi band.

We're just going to scope out a fun music/dance place when we first get there that we can all hang out at after dinner. Anyone have any recommendations?

Are you including me and Justin your wedding crashers into that 30 to 40?! lol

the set ups that I have seen are on a terrace in the middle of the court yard! I was like... huh.. i want to be down by the beach. I hope that they give you a really nice place to hang out but DEFINATLY tell them that you want to have your private reception over looking the water.

Hi Ladies!

 

I'm getting married at the Sun Palace Feb. 20, 2010, but all of our guests are staying at the moon palace and so are we. (we had to do this because there were no times available at the moon palace the day we chose to get married.

 

Ok, so it's 75 days away from our wedding and my wedding planner is not emailing me back and when she does she doesn't answer any of my questions! I'm freaking! I was not a fan of any of the flower options (but the funny thing is that none of the options even matched the other packages)

 

We have unlimited private functions so we'll be having a reception with about 55 people, I'm basically freaking out because the clock is ticking and I don't want to end up hating our ceremony and reception decor. So help! Any advice? any pics you can share?

 

Thank you in advance!

Someone else was talking about unlimited private functions...so is this a package that you got? Maybe since I got the freebie, that's why I've never heard about it?

Carly-- I know the frustration you are feeling. I emailed claudia martinez and asked her the questions that I had about my wedding and she told me that my coordinator Angelica would be getting a hold of me soon. I DO know that they get a lot better about getting in touch with you about 60 days before the wedding. (I had a friend get married there)

[Carly022010]

Thank you for the quick responses!

 

We booked through the palace resorts and so did all of our guests. Since our group booked over 75 nights we recieved 7 free nights and unlimited private functions. After reading through everyones posts today, I actually changed my wedding package to the complimentary one so that we can pick and choose what we want

[FutureMsMoulton]

Hehehe.... Funny how your mind can change when you start to do some research on here! We are all here to help with you with tips and advice! You are getting married 7 days before me!

Hi Carly

 

have you tried emailing your WC and copying in a Miami consultant (try copying in [email protected] ) that way someone should come back to you.

 

put your questions in bullet points and ask them to respond to them all maybe?

 

how come you chose the Sun rather than the Moon for your wedding? is it easy to come and go between them on the day of your wedding? what a nice idea!
