Dreams Riviera Cancun - Brides post here (new thread)

I have that Bose - love it! That's a super good idea to bring it with me and use it for our welcome party yay thanks!

We're using a DJ for the wedding - it was really a personal choice. I know a lot of people use ipods, there are always articles about it being a growing trend in wedding magazines and it's a great way to save money. I have panic attacks, mini melt downs and sometimes really big meltdowns hahaha so for my sanity, we decided it was worth the extra money. That way I absolutely don't have to stress out about technical difficulties and making sure we have the right music, enough music etc. I left the music up to my fiance and he had to put together an entire playlist...I'd be terrified about what would be playing...hahaha

Thanks for the phone number!

Laura and Carina,

I know you both had your own photographers (and also used the resort photographers as supplemental...) but would you have trusted the resort photographers for the entire wedding (i understand it would be an additional cost outside of the package because you'd probably need to add a few hours). Just looking for advice.

Laura and Carina,

I'm sure you are getting tired of all the questions! I have a few questions:

1. Did you have a sand ceremony? If so, did you bring your own vase or rent one from the resort?

2. Did you meet with your officiant prior to the wedding?

3. Did you use the resort's ceremony script or did you have your own?

4. Did you create menu cards?

I'm sure I have a lot more questions, but those are the most recent one's that I have been thinking of.

Thanks!

Help! My mother in law just went on a site visit to DRC this past week that she booked behind my back (another long story!). And she is claiming that it was "freezing" there and that it is far too cold that time of year to have an outdoor wedding. I am getting married January 15th, 2011, and she is telling my FI for us to change the wedding because our guests will be miserable. I have already sent out STD's and some of our guests have booked air. I have been to Mexico in February several times and never thought it was cold, but a little windy at night. I was planning on handing out Pashminias anyways.

Does anyone think that mid January it will be too cold to get married on the beach and have an evening reception on the pool deck? Did anyone have any complaints when they got married on the pool deck that it was too cold or too windy? Or has anyone gone to Riviera Maya in January?? I have been trying to google the temperatures and it is coming up 83 high, 63 low and that doesn't seem too cold. I need advice!
