Beaches ~ Turks & Caicos Roll Call!

[Brandy]

Why whats wrong?!?  Why would you want to switch over to a TA

[mistibuard]

I'm not switching...

 

Supposedly a TA will make these easier for you. I don't doubt that...but I've already completed everything. I think she was just trying to help.

Does anyone know what the "commemorative gift" is that the resort gives you if you announce your wedding is at a Beaches Resort in your local newspaper or on your blog?

 

Just curious...

[Brandy]

Nope not a clue, probably a t-shirt or something lol

Misti -

 

Did you find someone with a RAISED seal for your documents?  The places that I have checked all use the regular ink stamp.  I hate to wait until the last minute to find out I have a problem with the documents.  Especially since I have to include a divorce decree with mine - Hope it is not going to make things more complicated.

You will be fine- a raised seal isn't used anymore- my stuff has been turned in for a while and Monica said everything is fine.  Monica is not very good at her job by the way and they really need more than 1 or 2 wedding coordinators it seems to handle all the weddings... I planned everything myself and had my travel agent order the stuff I wanted just because it takes too long to go through Beaches... at the end of the day everything can be done yourself with or without wedding coordinator or travel agent.  I think if you have a big party they will pay more attention to you- I am excited for my intimate wedding vaccation with my 11 year old and fiance January 10th and then to have my big reception, which will be like a second wedding this summer in Boulder Colorado!  Good Luck to All- Will post a review when I return!  Any Specifics anyone wants me to look out for?

 

Peacefully,

Kimberly

WooHoo Kimberly!

 

That is literally aruond the corner (20 days to be exact)! Wow..it really seems like we're having the exact time of events--intimate wedding and HUGE celebration once we return.

 

May I ask what did you decide to order through your travel agent?

Hi Michelle,

 

I spoke with Amoy (someone in Miami who works with all of the documents)...she said that the stamp was fine. Apparently, A LOT of states no longer use the raised seal. Be sure to notarize EVERYTHING that you send. Originally I was told that only the affidavit needed to be notarized.

 

I sent everything via UPS yesterday and they should receive it tomorrow. How's your planning?

Just the standard edit Video($500) and the cheapest photo package they offer... We are using Tropical Imaging for the other pictures.  My girlfriend owns a photo studio and will edit and retouch all the "Beaches" photos... $410 for 18 on a digital disk- kind of ridiculous.  An extra boutenier for my son (11 yeasrs old) and he will also join us for the candlelight dinner(additional $45) instead of a reception. We are going to go to dinner some other night by ourselves at one of the adult only restarunts.  Basically- you DO NOT need a TA to do ANY of this- I just do it because it's easy and send her a quick email...

Oh okay. I need to go ahead and reserve the standard video myself. I haven't given it much thought lately.
