Yes unfortunately it is.  We booked before they changed the policy so our vendor fee is only 150.

 

For me, pics are the most important part of everything so I felt it was well worth having an outside photographer.  I looked at both HDC and Caribbean Emotions ended up with CE.

I felt they had a variety of economical options to choose from and were very accommodating.

I just got off the phone with the Now Larimar... I had not heard from Silvia in over a week... I was informed that she is no longer with them, and I have a new Coordinator whom I spoke with and she told me she had many e-mails and she would reply to my e-mail in 24 to 48 hours its already been over a week since I had e-mailed her... Is anyone else having this problem...

Ok so i am just starting to plan for my nov 8 2013 wedding. as of now one of my wedding guest is my photographer so thats done. from this thread I have learned about the needing 2 sets of chair sashes... so if i do chair sash I will keep that in mind. But my question is about a dj, does anyone know the fee of hiring an outside company?  DJ Mania has been in contact with me more then Now  and I feel it mat be easier to do business with them lol. As of now we have 54 people coming. so I guess I should start figuring somethings out. Thanks for any info you all want to share

We are just going with the resort DJ since we are having an outside photographer and I didn't want to pay another outside vendor fee. I heard good things about the resort DJ so I guess we shall see!

It all depends what services you need. If you want just DJ services and no extras I say stick with the resort. I went with DJ Mannia because I also want a lighted dance floor & projector and screen. It came out to be about $800 more in the price if I stayed with the resort for all those services. So I don't mind paying the vendor fee. 

 

I'm just about 2 1/2 more weeks away till my wedding day!!!!

 

So stressed with all the little things that still need to get done! I can't wait for this planning to be over!!! lol

So far we have 94 guests booked! Having a fountain ceremony, carnival terrace cocktail, and Castaways reception!!!!!! So excited!!!!

I am having Gary from Innovart Decorations come in to decorate. He has taken a tremendous amount of stress off of me with this planning. Let me know if you have any questions ladies!!!

Sorry, I haven't been on in a while.  We actually decided to do the ceremony by the fountain.  We originally were going to do it on the beach but I read a bunch that the beach isn't private which made me uneasy.  Are you doing it oceanside?  

 

I wish I wasn't such a control freak, I would have loved to do it!
