Anyone use CoresFilms? I emailed them and have not gotten a response yet. Wondering how much they charge for video. I think Caribbean Emotions charges $400 + $400 for the reception so $800 for a video total b/c we want the reception.

However, another option that we could've done was just get an AMEX with a significant limit and pay the entire bill on it, then come home and pay it off right away. My dad ended up getting an AMEX just for this occasion and it was fine. He used it, paid it off when he got home and cut it up lol The only thing that you cannot use the AMEX for is the outside vendors that Mayte has to pay upfront (i.e. DJ, MC, fire dancers, florist, etc) and you should not need more than $5000 for that. We had 70 guests and the money that was required in cash did not exceed $5000...  unless of course you are going to be using tons and tons and tons of fresh flowers.

Thank you so much this is very helpful! I was thinking of doing the AMEX for just the wedding and then cutting it up. That seems like an easy option.

And whenever you have a question, there is space for you to write it at the bottom so that you can keep track of things you will want to ask later. Once you have filled out all the info you can then just send one big email to Mayte with all of your questions. Let me know if you want me to send it to you. 

Oh yes could you please send it to me! [email protected] Once again your pictures are gorgeous. I can't wait for my wedding next July with photosouvenir.

Hi there - my fiance and I did a site visit in June and we stayed at the Dreams Palm Beach on the preferred side.  It was a great hotel, we liked that it was small enough that you could walk around without having to take a trolly, there are no bracelets and no need to make reservations at the restaurants.

 

Staying on the preferred side, you get free wifi, free computer use, towels, there is a restaurant for preferred guests only, different pool, sectioned off area on the beach and snacks in the lounge.

 

Hope this helps!
