Hi Paola!!!

WOW you're pictures are beautiful! I may PM you a few times to ask you things on this planning journey. If you can please PM me you're email I would love that ! Francina seems very nice and is on top of things BUT she is PREGNANT!!!! She is due the end of July and my wedding is July 20. So I am a little uneasy that I'm plannning with her and she probably will not be the person with me that day. But I'm sure things will work out.

I wanted to book Castaways for my reception but I refuse to pay the $5,000 fee. That's outrageous!

Hi @Jennifer8913 Oh OK was not sure which site or agent you used...we used destinationweddings.com

@EJM17 (Erica) Thank you So much. You are more than welcome to PM anytime and I most certainly can send you my email :-) Your photographers take beautiful pictures also...I have seen their work and absolutely love them too!

Castaways was a battle for us because when we orginally went to the resort for a site visit, it was not a cost to rent it. A month later it changed and it was $5,000; however, with my family being loud, crazy, party animals we truly needed and I wanted to feel like we were out in the open but not in the sand so that was our best option....and my parents paid that portion as a gift so it worked out to our advantage luckily :-) The pool also would have been perfect minus the closing down by 10:30ish you know?

OMG So excited for FRANCINA I didnt know she was preggers! She must have gotten pregnant around our wedding time!!!! Poor thing our wedding was loud crazy people LOL.

I looked into destinationweddings.com as my friend also used them, but with some of my guests not internet savvy, I went with a local agent. Esp for my mom, she doesn't even own a computer, and being a person who does my entire job on phone and computer, I understand and appreciate being able to.talk to someone in person!! Paola, I love all your pics, and I am definitely using your hairstyle as inspiration!!!

P.s. does anyone know what happened to Mercy? She was my WC, but see I know have been assigned to Francina, who will be out on.maternity leave during my wedding. Lol this should be interesting!!

When do you get contacted by the wedding coordinator or do we call them first? It feels like I'm the only one who hasn;t talked to mine. I was speaking with Mercy when I first booked but that's the only time we spoke.

I am getting Married May 4th 2013. My coordinator is Silvia, I emailed my travel agent and she sent the resort an email to which Silvia responded that she was my coordinator and to now email her directly. I frequently send her emails and she is very helpful and responds within a week. So I would email them!! It makes it a little less stressful when you can talk to them directly...good luck!

Im pretty sure that by three-four weeks from our wedding dates our wedding coordinator will be much more attentive to us. I think.I read that in one of the other forums.
