I hope these prices don't change to drastically for 2014.  There's so many things that just add up.

Well when I first started looking I was already taken aback at the price changes for the packages so when I ask I make sure to say 2014 because I am planning ahead with the same budget! lol

Ugh so many little things!

 

Are you doing a cocktail hour?

I have such a fear of so many people coming I'm scared to send out my save the dates lol

Are you going to use Tropical Pictures?

 

Check out HDC, only thing is you would have to pay the outside vendor fee of $1000 which is still cheaper than Tropical anyway when I priced it out a few months back -

I am actually flying out 2 guys who are photographers/videographers and have their own company (friends of my brothers)

It's cheaper to fly them out and pay for a 3 night stay and I get everything I want and then some.

 

Tropical is so limited and I was getting frustrated like you and thought about this plan and my brother is backing me up so so far they accepted and I will get all my pictures, not a certain amount and certain time. Since they are staying as my guests then I don't have to pay any fee because they are part of my wedding regardless and them being professionals is just a perk!

Yea, we are planning on a cocktail hour.  At first, we want to do a welcome party on the chill our terrace, but then I'm not sure whether they serve the same appetizers and drink as the cocktail hour anyway, so we wouldn't want them to eat the same thing.

 

It's funny you mentioned being scared of the number of people that will come.  I'm the same.  I really wanted the pier, but Susana told me only 50 people can fit (it's really 55), but then we kept adding people to our guestlist,  I'm almost hoping people will decline. haha.
