HereFishie, did you have a poolside reception just using your ipod?

 

This has been an issue that a lot of people have talked about, but Jazmin insists that there is no way to use your ipod for the poolside as the resort doesn't have a sound system for us to use. She said I would have to hire the DJ and then he can just play my ipod.

 

Obviously, not the greatest option... If I am making the playlist I'd rather not pay extra for him to hit "play".

 

I'm getting married at the Tulum Gazebo, with dinner at Tequila, followed by a poolside reception on July 7th, 2010.

Can't help you with the DJ since we didn't use one. iPod was the way to go for our poolside cocktail party! Cocktail party is after dinner. We paid to do the private poolside one which was great fun!

 

Re: Cocktail hour

I'm not sure if its for all weddings or only certain ceremony types, it should say I think in the documents they sent you when you chose the type of ceremony you wanted. Its directly after the ceremony (it was free for us) and its just toasting. They set up a table and have a couple of bottles of champagne for right after the ceremony so you can do toasts/pictures before you move over to the dinner location. It's a time filler mostly :)

We've been back a couple of weeks now and I have nothing but good things to say about the resort and wedding.  We had 51 guest travel with us to Mexico.  We flew with Air Canada Vacations and got marr

Hi Lou,

Have you gone over all the paperwrok that you have received from Jazmin. What I have and want she told me was that we could use an ipod but that we would have to rent the speaker system.Nothing about having a Dj from the resort...we ended up however choosing to use a outside DJ vendor who I was able to get for a very reasonable price for our poolsode reception.

I too am getting married at the Gazebo but we are having our reception at the Gran Tortuga.

Question to all you ladies out there?? What's your take on planning excursions and such for people attending your wedding? I hadn't really planned on doing much along those lines and just a rehearsal dinner for the wedding party and our parents. I thought I would just let people relax and do what they wanted at their own pace, but now I’m seeing all that everyone else is doing and starting to think that I am not doing enough!

Yep, we had our dinner at the Dolce Vita and then the poolside reception afterwards for 2 hours at the White Sands poolside (just outside the Akumal main). Thankfully we had the wedding at the Akumal and she let us have the speakers for free. You could hear perfectly. We were not paying for someone to press play either!!!

Hi Patourn.....Can I ask you who you have to DJ, I am also getting married at the Gazebo & eating in the Gran Tortuga. Mine is on a Thursday so have been told I can't use the resort DJ as he will be at the Hacienda?

I am planning to just give everyone a list of various things to do in the area & then leave it up to them to go where they want. The only days I am saying they have to be with us is our wedding day & the rehearsal dinner.....Like Herefishie said I am thankful they are coming to our wedding but it is there holiday as well :)

Hi waybuloo....we are actually using Bijann from Mayanvibes. Here's his site
MayanVibes - Wedding DJ in the Mayan Riviera - Home I actually got his contact info from another bride on this thread who was using him. He's been great, knows what he is talking about, fast at getting back to you and very reasonable. Hope that helps! Let me know if you need anything else!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
