I found the Pm thing! I'll PM you next week for pics, when do you get back?

We are back on Friday the 14th! I'm really excited for the site tour and I'll be sure look for a site that overlooks the ocean for you - do you want the ceremony to overlook the ocean or the reception? Or both?

LL117 please PM your pics to me as well. Is anyone having issues with friends/family complaining about packages? Why prices did you get? My travel agent gave me prices that I think are reasonable (but I travel a lot) but some people I didn't expect to complain are doing just that. And it's the same people who told me a destination wedding would be a better option than a stateside wedding so I'm a little perturbed.

We got pretty decent prices through my travel agent but he told me that as time goes on, PPR does deep discounts...I actually wound up have about 5 couples go through Expedia because it was cheaper at the time that they booked...

I went down in March for a site visit...PM me and let me know if there are any specific pics you are looking for and I'll sent them your way. We didn't take a ton but have quite a few good ones.

LL117, I booked the Olympus pool for the reception- i heard that you can see the beach from there. Right now, i have the gazebo booked for the ceremony and am considering changing the ceremony site to the beach just so we can have the oceanview. I didn't originally book the beach ceremony because i wanted to be able to wear heels and i still wanted a formal event...buuut i may just have my guys in tuxs on the beach.

Hi past brides! Can anyone tell me what information i should tell my guests with their invitation?

Hey EV! Sorry for the late reply. I just moved from Maryland to California. We also got a cryptic email about restructuring at Paradisus. So now, Bianca is our planner. We'll see what happens with that. I am staying optimistic.

In terms of the 2013 Fall in Love room rates. They have been released. We ended up going with a TA because Paradisus in Miami ended the 2012-2013 promotion early without telling us. We were waiting for a contract from Lauren who went M.I.A. and when we finally reached her she transferred us to someone else who told us that they ended the Fall in Love 2012-2013 room package early. I think Lauren was avoiding me so she did not have to send us a room contract. We were extremely upset because we had very positive conversations with Cecilia who assured us that everything was on track. We have a great agent now who honored the rates that Paradisus offered us. At this point I want to deal with the folks in Miami as little as possible. There is an issue of trust and them honoring what they tell us. With that said--I am still staying optimistic that Bianca will work well with us.

Great website!!!! Check ours out at www.derricklovesanita.com

On another note...I am a bit relieved to hear that we were not the only ones that had issues with the room contract. Everything worked out for us, but I was bugging out for a few days--rethinking PPR altogether.
