Secrets maroma wedding dinner menu

[amieejo87]

Hello everyone!

 

I was just wondering if anyone has any thougths about the options offered for the wedding menu? I will be purchasing the Ultimate wedding package and I can choose between the silver menu and the gold. I just don't know what to choose!

 

Thanks,

Amiee

We are having the Gold dinner selection, but you might want to be aware that there is also a Platinum dinner package and those selections look yummy! Unfortunately, we just didn't have that extra $$ in our budget to upgrade.

 

Good luck

We are going with the gold dinner menu, but please let us know what you thought of the food.

 

Also - did you use an outside WC or Cecilia?

[melfry66]

We are just working with Cecilia. Honestly, she has been very responsive for us. The biggest frustration with her is that she tends to forget what she's quoted us in the past via our e-mail exchanges. I have to keep reminding her. In her defense, I'm sure she is dealing with multiple brides at the same time. I am just printing out all of the e-mail exchanges of relevance that we've had and putting a binder together to take with us. Just in case we get there and there is any question.

 

2 more weeks and we will be there!!

Hey Ladies- I have just booked our date on 12/6/10! We are also selecting the Ultimate package and are going with the Gold Menu! Congrats Melfry 66! Let us know how it goes! Is anyone having there wedding at the gazebo? Where are you going to have the reception?

[melfry66]

Thanks so much! I will be sure to report back when we get home.

 

We are having our ceremony at the Gazebo versus on the actual beach. I thought it would be less windy and I think it's actually more beautiful. People won't be full of sand. We are having the reception dinner there also. We still need to finalize where our cocktail hour will be. We have the Mexican Trio playing during cocktail hour, then we've hired DJ Mannia for the reception.

 

Let me know if you have any questions! I just finished up the last few details today, so now all I have left to do is pack... thank God!!

melfry66- that is the exact set up we are thinking. the only thing we are not sure of is hiring an outside photographer and dj. How much extra will this end up being? Why is no one using the resort photographer? Makes me nervous!

[melfry66]

We hired DJ Mannia for 5 hours and to also handle the music for our actual wedding ceremony. Their cost to us was $1,140.00. We also hired Dino Gomez for our photography. We are having the beach bonfire welcome dinner the night before the wedding and Dino will be there to photograph that, as well as the entire day the day of the wedding. Our contract with him is for an unlimited amount of time. We chose not to do a TTD session. His cost was $3,500.00 all-inclusive with 50% down up-front. Photography was really important to us, so I didn't want to cut any corners there

 

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions

After looking at the gold menu and silver menu, I acutally preferred the choices from the silver menu. I am a little unsure of the options.
