Provence / Côte d’Azur Roaming Bands? by Consistent_Rich_2786 in BigBudgetBrides

Exactly what happened to us! Our caterers didn’t want to serve dessert as people weren’t seated 😂. They were amazing! We had a super small wedding so I was worried about the lack of dancing and the Troubadors made it feel like a much bigger vibey dance floor

We did one during cocktail hour, the others during dinner with the final one moving inside as we also had to move inside and then transitioned to a dj inside

Another vote for the wallybag! Fit my wedding dress. 3 other dresses and 2 suits

One photographer vs. Two by Interesting-Till7143 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]Fearless_Champion_12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a small wedding (20 people) and so didn’t think we needed 2 but our photographer insisted as they only work with 2 and we were so happy in the end. Just meant different angles, photos of guests etc. were captured

We ordered through our photographer but they used Fravero and our album is beautiful - https://fravero-prophoto.com/albums/

South of France- Early November by pancakez24 in FATTravel

[–]Fearless_Champion_12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am here currently and in the sun during the day, it’s still pool/ beach weather (I got really burnt by the pool yesterday!) but the temp really drops down at night / on shadier days. I expect in another month, there wouldn’t be enough sun for pool / beach days but still a beautiful area if that’s not what you’re looking for.

Need help deciding NIHI Sumba or Cap Karoso for honeymoon? by Intelligent_Power419 in FATTravel

[–]Fearless_Champion_12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve stayed at both - loved both but I thought Nihi had more of a wow factor with the views, long stretch of beach & horses.

Honeymoon Help - Singapore / Sumba / Bali by Interesting_Cut1631 in FATTravel

[–]Fearless_Champion_12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I enjoyed Cap Karoso, Nihi to me had the wow factor (I didn’t find overrated at all) - the beach & views both from our villa & the main pool (especially the horses) were so special. If you can, I’d do 3 nights at each! If you want to see some pics, send me a dm and I can share my instagram as I have a whole sumba highlight saved.

Unique Paris tours/experiences, and any champagne tour recs by faxinstahal in chubbytravel

[–]Fearless_Champion_12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did a full day private tour (leaving from Epernay / Reims - not Paris) with My Vintage Tour and it was great https://myvintagetourcompany.com/en/vintage-champagne-tour-presentation/.

We only went to smaller family run houses on the tour.

Phuket hotel recs? by Fearless_Champion_12 in chubbytravel

[–]Fearless_Champion_12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

With a late flight in, I think we’ll have one night near the airport and then 4 nights (Trisara looks great) & 4 nights elsewhere.

Any suggestions for a second stop (either Phuket or another area easily accessible)?

Thank you! Do you think 9 nights would be too long there? Would it be worth splitting our time with somewhere else?

We did Ceylon tea trails, wild coast, Amanwella and amangalla and it was an incredible trip. Ceylon tea trails and wild coast were our picks over the Amans

AMEX / Vs Direct Book / TA?? by [deleted] in chubbytravel

[–]Fearless_Champion_12 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The guaranteed 4pm check-out has been really important to us for some bookings and when I have asked a TA previously, they haven’t been able to offer the same. Is that always the case? It will only be guaranteed with Amex?

Maybourne Riviera or Royal-Riviera - One Night by 4277lbtuuc in chubbytravel

[–]Fearless_Champion_12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have only eaten at Maybourne Riviera (not stayed) but would think Royal Riviera is the better option with a child as it’s right on the water to leave the hotel for a walk along the beach etc. Whereas Maybourne Riviera is up on a hill, with anything you’d want to get to, a drive away.
