... in response to Latinencounters agency in Cali, posted by panol11 on Jul 15, 2002I met my wife at Latin Encounters last November.
So obviously, there are some good things about this agency... You will have fun at this agency. It's a really fun atmospere, and everybody has a good time.
It is a good agency and Margareth is very helpful. But.... she is greedy. She dislikes my wife and I, because we planned our own wedding, and she didn't get to gouge me on all the great gringo prices.
I was a good customer and stayed at her agency for over 3 weeks. But in the end, she was short sighted and only looked at the money she lost by us planning our own wedding. It leaves a little bad taste in your mouth. But it's not a perfect world. She has some really nice girls in the agency. Shirley the secretary is a really nice person, and will help you out.
They don't run businesses down there with American standards. You just kind of have to go with the flow. The travel membership that LE offers is a pretty good deal. I went over to Luz Amparos with another gringo, and that place seemed alot more professional, and organized.
Maybe check them both out before you drop any dollars. If you stay at LE, make sure you are in the back bedroom with the carpet. The other rooms are extremely noisy.
Good luck,
Wayne
