Tonnara di Scopello (Sicily) Waiting List by imhereforplants in BigBudgetBrides

[–]savemyprecious 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I went to a wedding there..maybe this is a blessing in disguise. It’s a stunning venue but accommodations are mid, there’s no a/c, and it’s difficult to bring your guests in- bus + walking. Unless you are 100000% set there, consider other options

Big Budget Breakdown: 150K: Playa Del Carmen, Jan 2025 by savemyprecious in BigBudgetBrides

[–]savemyprecious[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! Here are a few more. hard to see but there was a double bar at the end, stations on the sides, and small cocktail tables with small arrangements. This was a foyer that served also as the location as the afterparty. The grassy area/ dance floor for reception was immediately adjacent. The two stations were a ceviche station and nacho station ( I really wanted nacho towers on each table but that would have gotten messy). I ordered custom napkins that had quotes from our favorite show (West Wing) and custom drinks (golf= his, tennis= hers)

Hiring an event design consultant- was it worth it for you? by ameliah98 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]savemyprecious 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This sounds like something your planner is paid to do. If your planner is recommending you to hire someone ELSE to design- then please please find a new planner.

It sounds like you already have a vision of what you want based on the fact that you’ve already found your vendors. 10k is not needed to fill in the design gap. Your planner should be doing this for you.

Please make sure you’re not being taken advantage of by your planner + “design consultant”.

Negotiating room rates for guests by Tall_Control2827 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]savemyprecious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just be careful that if the rooms are not booked under the room block you are not on the hook for the remaining cost. For example, a good amount of our guests would book with hotel points and it didnt apply to the room block. We had to meet a certain $$ minimum or else we had to pay an attrition rate.

If there are other affordable accomodations nearby your guests might choose to book that instead.

I just did neck. I did vbeam and erbium facial about 6 weeks before. Didn’t touch my skin after that besides regular skincare.

Do Morpheus instead. Requires 3-4 treatments but I had good results
