Yes the stone pathway was close to the Tucanes Bar where we had the dinner and dancing. It was very convenient.

 

Thanks for all the kind words ladies - makes me feel so good and pretty!!!

LaurenV-I know 22 days! So excited! I never did a site visit all the planning was through email and phone calls. I have to say I was always on top of my WC and basically I was always a few steps ahead visualizing every detail and asking tons of questions

I just realized I was posting with you on another thread about the same thing! opps! We picked the basic package just beacuse of price, but I would have loved to do a video of the ceremony or TTD. I hope 3 hours is enough time.

Ladies - on Vista Print today they have ladies tshirts that you can customize for less than $3.00!! I already made one for myself that says Just married, Mother of the Brides, Bridesmaids, etc. They have 46 pages of tshirt images to choose from if you need me to forward you the email, PM me your email address.

Hi-

 

Just happened across this thread. My company, 1023media, actually just did a promo video for The El Dorado a couple of months ago. If you want to check it out, you can go to my website,

1023media - Video + Film Production Company Austin TX

The El Dorado is absolutely gorgeous and a perfect place to have a wedding. We filmed a couple renewing their vows there for the promo and it was a really nice little ceremony. From what I understand they are fairly reasonable on pricing as well.

 

We also do destination wedding videography so if anyone is interested in that you can check out our stuff at

Austin TX Wedding Videographers - Cinematic Event Videography

I ran across this website that offers 50% discounts at El Dorado resorts and 20% spa services. Might be something to look into if you have a little extra time upon arrival and don't mind touring the timeshare. Not sure if it is wort it but I ran ito it on a bride and groom's; website and thought I would post the info. Cheers

Anyone have any ideas of how much to tip? I was thinking DJ Duremix, my wedding coordinator, bartenders for wedding reception...etc...any help would be great! We leave in 2 weeks

Has anyone had any issues with their guests finding cheaper EDR room rates with another travel agent? I thought I was receiving a 20% group rate discount but I have had a couple guests say they have found something even cheaper through their own agent. I'm not sure how to handle this. Anyone else encounter this?

I didn't have this issue either because at the beginning we encouraged everyone to book through our group and let them know they were getting a reduced rate. We're also going through DW.com. That really sucks though. It just presents a headache for you.
