Hi Jennifer, you are an absolute saint for breaking this down. I’ve tried contacting the resort to get in contact with a wedding coordinator. After entering my info a few times to their generic “contact a wedding coordinator” form, I haven’t heard back. How did you get in contact with Paola and is there a way you can connect me with her or have her give me a call/email. I plan on getting married in march or April of 2025 so time is crunching lol.
