Thanks for the tips! Another question...has anyone done a slideshow using a projector? Does that cost extra?

Hi jaqjade,

I wanted to do the projector thing also but it did cost extra.  I cannot remember how much it was going to cost but I did not want to spend the extra money for it so did not end up doing it.

Yep. We had a slideshow playing at our rehearsal dinner. It cost about $300. They had it all set up and ready -and all we had to do is hook our computer up- with all the cables they provided too.

 

The price is pretty expensive for only 2 hours, but the hubby wanted it so he paid!

Hey Hammy,

 

What time did your reception start?  I remember someone saying that Las Olas closes at 6pm, then it takes an hour for reception set up.  Was it ready in time for you?

biehnbag - for the slideshow, did you have to bring your own computer?  do you know if they have a computer available if we brought a flash drive?  and do you know if they will rent the equipment for less than 2 hours?  i just want to do a slide show during the dances...

Hi snl,

 

We are having our reception at Las Olas April 5 (coming soon!!), and the earliest you can get in is 8pm for the reception, because they close at 6pm and need that time to set-up.

Wow that is expensive to do a slideshow! I"m only wanting to show a 10 min presentation..and spending $300 for that is a bit much. I'm wondering if I can substitute it with something I don't want in the package...although..it doesn't seem likely.

It's time to choose my bridesmaids... Does anyone have any beachy ideas to ask friends to be included in your event?

Las Olas closes for the lunch/pool time at 6pm.  My reception was ready to go by 7pm-ish but I don't think we ended up moving over there until about 7:30 or 8pm.  I think beinbag had hers at Las Olas also and I think they told her 8pm but if I remember correctly, she was able to get in there earlier.
