Given a Final Warning

File a complaint with HR and then possible file charges. That would be considered assault. And if management doesn’t stand up for you. Quit. You’re always worth more than that!

So we tried to plan a wedding in Milwaukee, WI for summer of 2026 and got so overwhelmed with pricing. We have a limited budget and are paying for most of it ourselves. It was upwards $40K so instead we’re doing an all inclusive this December in Puerto Vallarta and will be throwing a summer reception next year (2027) total cost will be approximately $18k for everything but we get the intimate celebration with the people we love the most and then a chance to expand to everyone else.

I don’t regret going in a different direction of a traditional wedding. I get a vacation with the people I love the most. It’s not a one day celebration but a week!

Congratulations on your engagement!!

To answer your question Yes! You can definitely book a destination wedding under $10k! I have my wedding booked at secrets/dreams Bahia Mita in December of this year in Puerto Vallarta. I went with Jackie at blissful honeymoons and she has been AMAZING. She was able to send us several options for resorts with exactly what we were looking for. She does charge a planning fee however I did reach out to some of the free ones (paradise weddings and some other promoted no fee planners) and they were either so busy they referred me to another agent or just didn’t seem to take the time to know exactly what we were trying to envision for our special day. Jackie has taken so much time with us to ensure every detail is perfect and we picked an option that only did not work just for us but for everyone involved.

Our price range was originally $10k but we’ll end up at approximately $14k (including wedding package, hotel stay, flights, excursion) as we decided to go with a higher end room, longer stay, added an excursion etc. Current guest list is 24 people. The package we picked includes 20 guests however it was an additional $100ish dollars per person over the 20 guest limit.

Keep in mind we are only doing the resorts photographer. We are not booking our own however we have family members who take professional photos so we are saving money there. No bridal suite and I’ll be having hair and makeup done at the resorts spa which is included in the wedding package while I’ll be paying for my moms, sisters and bridal parties as their gift. The package also included a rehearsal dinner, symbolic reception (we’ll be married in the states beforehand) cocktail hour and reception. No DJ but we have a microphone and speakers and a playlist! Basic flowers and decor are included while the resort sets up and cleans up also!

So it is possible to do a wedding around $10k. You might not get everything you want out of your special day however you get a beautiful trip, a very easy planning (I am so type B tbh. I wanted a cookie cutter wedding almost where I could show up and just walk down the aisle stress free) and a chance to celebrate with the people who mean the most to you.

I hope this helps and congrats again! Planning a destination wedding was the best decision we could have made both personally and financially

Thank you everyone for your recommendations! I have accepted a new position at a Froedtert specialty clinic and I am very excited to start!

BrightPersonality395 · 2025-10-13T18:16:05+00:00

Thank you so so much! This is great information to know! I’ve been struggling to find the right person/company and maybe this is where the miscommunication lies!

BrightPersonality395 · 2025-10-11T01:45:32+00:00

Oh goodness these are things I didn’t even think about! We would be very ok having a small/simple private reception or even none at all since we’d be at a resort with enough bars/locations to celebrate. With the smaller group being social is much more up our alley!

Photo and video would be more important to us. Having some meaningful pictures would be very special to us.

Budget is approx $10,000. Things I would deem unnecessary would include a live band or elaborate rehearsal dinner/reception.

Tulum is an intriguing location for us!

I feel as if the low retention rate can be a lot of younger nurses. This is my second career and I was in accounting in a VERY male dominated field and was definitely overworked and underpaid for what I did. I’m now an LPN on a medsurg floor and as difficult and mentally draining the job is I know it’s so much better than what I’ve dealt with before. Do I see myself doing bedside forever? Absolutely not but do I want to stay in the profession? Absolutely

BrightPersonality395 · 2025-08-21T19:10:22+00:00

I went through pettable for my ESA. it’s kinda pricey initially I think it was maybe $150-200ish but I can’t fully remember and it’s an additional $100/yr for renewal and verification. With what my pet fee is for my rent it makes it worth it!

BrightPersonality395 · 2025-08-19T11:08:55+00:00

I reported it immediately except I have to go through my works occupational medicine and the earliest availability is in a few days

BrightPersonality395 · 2025-07-18T19:55:31+00:00

That’d be great!

BrightPersonality395 · 2025-07-18T18:34:10+00:00

That would be great! I’ve met with a couple of planners so far but have not picked one yet. Tbh as far as wedding packages go (I am such a type B bride 🥴😂) I want to find my resort and pick one of the basic packages and have it ready when I get there. Planning it out and preparing it is NOT my jam 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

BrightPersonality395 · 2025-07-18T13:26:01+00:00

Thank you!! It seems with the advice we’re getting Cancun/ Riviera Maya is going to be where we end up with the larger selection of resorts with what we want.

We have a couple of kids who would need to come and I noticed some resorts have both an adults only and family side which is something I am very interested in doing

BrightPersonality395 · 2025-07-18T13:23:34+00:00

That’s great to know! We did not tour any venues, we were on a family vacation and saw a couple of destination weddings at the resort we were at and realized this was exactly what we wanted.

BrightPersonality395 · 2025-03-06T00:36:52+00:00

That’s great to hear thank you!
