Gran Bahia Principe Esmeralda 2013 Brides

[principessa]

My wedding is one week from today!!  We are doing a private reception.  Make sure you get in contact with the wedding coordinator if you aren't already and get as many details as you can regarding what is included, what is extra and how much the extras will cost.  I've been to the resort before (not Esmeralda, but Ambar) and it is really fabulous, you girls will absolutely love it!!

You must be  sooooo excited, when do you actually fly there ? Good luck and can give some feed back  and recommendations  when you get back.

 

I've got pricing for the dinner and the cocktail hour but as far as decorations and flowers etc, i was told that i would chose once i got there and they wopuld provide me with  pricing. We're you able to get pricing before hand?

I'm so so so excited!  When I get back I'll definitely answer some questions if anyone has them!

 

No we don't have any pricing on decorations or flowers or any of that!  Just the dinner, dj/sound system - that kind of stuff.  It's hard for me not knowing those details because I am totally a planner!

i know, i'm in the same boat - i got pricing for  the dinner, dj/sound system but not for any of the details.  i just don't want to have too many surprises when i get there and be stuck with a huge bill.

 

What are you doing for table decorations?

 

I am so excited, since mine isn't till next year i'm living vicariously through you

Hey, I just booked my wedding for May 14th. Were staying at the esmerelda. I'm so excited. We have been speaking with Minel the wedding coordinator and she is great. Very quick with emails. And gives a lot of info. Were on the fence about booking the photographer. ( not sure if we just want a family member to take pics). What do you think? 

And what about the DJ for the private dinner? is it worth it?

Hi, I am getting married April 2013. We are going to get the photographer because they give you pictures and they will know where to go to take good pics. My brother and his wife just got married in Mexico and they got a book with all their pictures which is an amazing keep sake. If you bring your own photographer, you still have to pay $600 but I guess thats better than $1000-1500. For my brothers wedding he just got speakers and a microphone and had his ipod hooked up. I think I'm going to do the same because I don't know if the DJ will even have the songs I want. Just a thought.

Cjboardingpass your wedding is one day before mine! Mine is booked for may 15! For the private reception, I think it depends how many guests you are having. Since I'm expecting over 30 I am doing the private reception. How many guests do you expect?
