    In the end, these people did not end up booking and will not attend.

    Keep in mind, you will have to buy day passes for everyone to attend the wedding (somewhere around $76/person). If you plan on having any cocktail parties, you would also most likely have to purchase more passes for them to come on the property.

    I personally would think long and hard about whether you want to get married at EDR if your guests will not be there. I think a lot of the fun of a DW is the big ol' party the whole week with your closest friends and family.

    I think what we would do is everyone (including me ) would stay at a cheaper hotel then go to EDR for ceremony/reception. then i would just stay there for my honeymoon. Guess we'll see what the rates end up being :) Thanks for the suggestions!

    Because FI's family is here, he wants them there for the legal cermony. I don't think his sister will be coming down to the Dominican b/c she can't afford it, but his parents will be there at the resort. None of my family will be there for the legal ceremony, only the symbolic one. I think my family would be a bit upset if his family was there and they couldn't be.

    SO my question is... Who did you have at your legal ceremony? confused.gif

    I'm planning on doing the same. I think I'm gonna have my sister there at the legal ceremony then meet everyone out for dinner (just something small) We may even get tattoos afterwards! friday.gif
  3. I am dealing with the same photographer issue at El Dorado. My WC is Monica and since my photographer is a mexican citizen she said she was going to ask her manager. I even asked Claudia Rodriguez (photographer) and she said that $500 and 3 nite stay shouldn't apply. Just pay one or the other. I hope it works out for me, we might be switching hotels if not (its insane!)

  4. Hi Everyone,

     

    My name is Jennifer and I am getting married on 2/14/09 in Riviera Maya! We have chosen the El Dorado Royale for the location. Can't wait to gain lots of info from this site, hopefully I can give some as well!
