Does anyone have a picture of what the cake looks like?

New Decor company they are using.

Also just a followup I finally got in contact with my new wedding coordinator and everything is going smoothly.

Menu has been picked. Now decor choices. Fun fun 47 days!

Does anyone know if young kids are counted as part of total guest head-count? And if there's a separate rate for children for the reception.

over 2 years old they are in the headcount. It is $28 for them for the wedding.

Greetings Fellow Finest Brides! I have just been told about this group & am so excited to have found you all.

My wedding was just moved here by one of their "sister" properties & is scheduled for October 17, 2015. We are a little nervous about having a wedding at a place that is so new, but I am eager to dive into this forum and learn all I can from you ladies.

First question I have is how promptly do the wedding coordinators tend to respond when emails are sent? Is email the best way to communicate with them?

Thank you in advance for your wisdom

Best way is email and about a week in between emails. Put all your thoughts on an email. Bullet point everything and section it. Then send. Start a new email of questions you think about but don't send until you get the first response. This keeps the confusion down. A week seems to be the turn around.

@@NE112015 - do you have the catalog with floral options?

@@SusanMarie813 we are planning on having our reception on the sky bar deck and I am going to do Tiffany chairs and gold chargers and flower centerpiece (PC09 and PC29 from the resort catalogue). Also I am going to ask to add some string light bulbs over the dance floor. I wanted to do little tequila bottles as my escort cards however found out they are $11 per Blt based on the pricing from the company The resort works with. That's a little expensive since I am already doing welcome bags that's taking a big chunk of my budget. So I am going to have to find a different option. Do you mind sharing the price for the DJ and what's included? Are they the same ones working with the resort or is a vendor you are bringing in? I'm already bringing in my own photographer that I have to pay vendor fee for
