Hi preciosa,

You're welcome! Glad to help

They used to allow things to be switched out, but about a year ago or so they more or less changed their stance about that, so it's not as likely anymore. In a webinar I listened in on back in September, they said the packages are as-is, you can add to them (for a cost of course), but if you don't have a need for what is included, they will not discount that out of the price, nor will they swap out for other services. It never hurts to ask though. If things are close or in the same kind of category they may be more willing to work with you. For example, since I have an outside photographer already booked but the package comes with some photography, I asked if they could have the resort photog take pictures of our welcome dinner the night before instead, and they were fine with that. I may try asking if that can be changed to some videographer time instead, but I'm not expecting them to go for it!!
I think they will let you give away your package extras. For example I've heard of some girls giving the private airport transfer to their grandparents, or giving the included massage to a friend who had helped a lot with the wedding. Could make for some special gifts for a few select guests if you have no need for the features and they don't let you exchange.

Hi Noxx,

I got married there in January and it was amazing! AS for your questions - the wedding gazebo at the pool is right in the middle of everyone swimming, so I wouldn't recommend that and the one in the foyer is beautiful, but would fit just you and the officiant. Everyone else would be away from you since there is a little pond around it. They have pictures for every wedding location if you ask your wedding planner for it. I might still have it if you want to private message me so I can email it to you. I got married on the beach and had my reception on the tequila terrace - it was everything I ever imagined for my wedding. My friend also got married there earlier this month and had it at the same location and loved it too.

Good luck!!
