Thanks for the good weather wishes! Planning is going! We hired extra photography through the hotel. How is your wedding planning going? Who is your coordinator? I have Magda!

I started out with Guillermo, but I have been switched to Yesica. I have read a lot of reviews where people have had Magda, sounds like she is good! Planning is going okay, I hadn't thought about a lot of things at all, then I just attended my cousins wedding and realized there were all these things I had never considered. I was going to have a relative simple wedding, but now things just got more complicated lol.

How did you book additional photography through the hotel? I mean is it like an additional charge per hour or per certain number of photographs? I have been debating whether or not to hire somebody as my package includes I think 50 free photos and I have 2 really good cameras which I was going to give to my sister and brothers' girlfriend. I didn't know if the resort would take significantly more photos and just let me choose 50 prints, or if I would have the option to purchase more at that time. This may be a question for my coordinator, but since it takes a while for them to reply, if you know anything please let me know.

Also, what are you doing for your centerpieces? I asked if they could send me photographs of some options but they never did. I don't know if I just need to find a picture of what I want and send it to them. It also sounds like we have to go through an outside florist, but I would think the resort would handle this?

Also, if you need any help/advice etc. let me know! I'm excited to be in touch with another bride who will be there at the same time!!

I was just at Dreams Los Cabos last week and met with Yesica, Magda and Mariana. Let me know if you guys want to schedule another webinar...if we can get 20+ people I can set it up...the webinars are super helpful to get your questions answered.

Shalane,

For photography, we also get 1 hour (50 photos) plus a 30 min DVD included in our Ultimate Wedding package. I have added on extra photography from Adventure Photos at Dreams Los Cabos. We have Danielle. We picked the +3 hour coverage for $799.00. Our total photography will include:

-total of 4 hours of coverage including getting ready, ceremony, photo session and cocktail party

-50 edited photos + 60 edited photos (they emailed me to say that they usually take apprx. 500 images and then we get to pick the ones we like best.

- digital images + slide show (online) + album (photo book). The Photo book is a coffee table book with 40 pages & 65 images in it. We receive this in the mail 5-6 weeks after we make our favorite selections.

The contact info is:

I have no idea what we are doing for our centerpieces yet. They do have a Costco in Cabo (about a 15 minute drive from the resort) and they have flowers there... just something I have considered. I cannot afford too many flowers outside of what is included in our package so I am trying to come up with other neat ideas for centerpieces but nothing yet. You?

How many people are you having to your wedding? Ours will probably be about 35.
