We have our DVD of pictures now and MTM said a slideshow of our shots would be posted on their site in the next few days - I will let everyone know when it is live. We were married on April 14 at Dreams Tulum. The wedding was scheduled to start at 5pm. I have lived in Mexico before, and it is not a generalization everything is late. But I thought things would be different in an upscale resort - - it was not. The photographers were late, then the videographer was late, and then the Minister was over an hour late. So, the ceremony started after 6pm which ended up leaving us with less than an hour for pictures. Unfortunately we did not get many group shots (wedding party or family portraits) because the sun was working against us. However, all the other shots that we did get (ceremony, reception, etc.) were fantastic. I am so glad we hired MTM to tell the story of our wedding day. Any brides that may have a 5pm start time - be weary of the limited time you have for shots in the unfortunate event that the ceremony is delayed. KK Hey motorola_mascott, The videographer was totally late for our wedding too! I completely forgot! Anable said he was going to meet us in the room at 2:00 and never showed up until we were on our way to the beach. I had forgot all about the videographer. Did you use the resort videographer?

so gald you love them Carolyn!

Hello Ladies, Thank you all for your great comments!! Kirk and I are so pleased with the slideshow and are still waiting for the pics to be posted onto pictage. I tried to attache the price list for Moments That Matter, but it will not take me there when I click on the link. AHH!!! Sorry ladies you'll just have to email Lincoln and Lori! I went with their half day package and payed extra for them to come an hour earlier to take pictures of us getting ready (since that was not a part of their half day package) ...which I am so glad I did! Their prices have changed a bit since I booked with them. I know their prices are constantly changing to meet the demands of their services since only recently moving down to the Mayan about a month ago. If you have any questions, you can email Lincoln and Lori directly...they are great at returning emails. AND...Yes i will write a review. I will try to create it in a word document so I can work on it at work! ha ha

I am leaving Monday and starting to bug out I know they definitely take credit cards...not sure about AMEX but I'm sure they do! Good Luck and have an amazing time!

My MOH and I are both cosmetology teachers =) You looked beautiful - loved your dress =) You probably saw us too! It really was an AWESOME day. I really did like the makeup...it was just under my eye where it looked too cakey and on my nose that had already started to peel...woops! We watched so many weddings it's crazy! Where was yours What were your colours? Everyone was really happy with their hair...they did an awesome job considering two of by BM have shorter hair. Did you come home right after the wedding? Wasn't the food and everything amazing! I can't say enougth about it and the staff!

Contact Jennifer Barnet at [email protected] She's great and will get right back to you.

Hey Guys! We are back from our wedding at the Dreams and it was fantastic! Lincoln and Lori were super nice and our guests really enjoyed them as well. I chatted with Lincoln over email the other day and they were working on our pics and hoped to have them done by the end of the week. I will pass on the link/or post as soon as I get them!

I was married the day after you. We're you partying with your girls on stage after your wedding at the club? Hey!! Yes we were running a bit late! Too bad we couldn't have met there! So crazy how many weddings there was! Yep that was definitley me at the disco....my dress was filthy but I refused to take it off!!!

Quote: Originally Posted by MayBride2010 i was wondering if anyone that has been there knows what the cab fare costs from tulum to playa del carmen? To tulum it's a $10 ride US or Pesos (so better deal to pay with pesos) and to playa it's about $45 USD or Pesos. We actually took a bus from the entrance to the resort, they are like a van that seats about $12 ppl and you can get on it with some locals and tourists but it only cost us $5/couple each way. Much cheaper and totally safe

We don't have a DJ, but rather I've put together a playlist on my ipod. Do I need to bring an ipod docking station with me or will the resort provide one for us to dock the ipod into? We are planning on renting the speaker system. Also, does the ipod docking station charge the ipod while the ipod is playing? (I ask because it would be so bad if the ipod ran out of batteries during out reception... haha!) Thanks for any information anyone can provide! That's exactly what we did...had a playlist and the guy just showed Kirk how to work it and left it for us. It was really easy and in reality we had it playing from 6:30 until 10:30 and the battery was fine.....I don't think the battery charges when it is plugged into the system but you're battery won't go dead in that short of time.

Quote: Originally Posted by Dreams425 Has anybody had a reception on the beach and not had a dance floor? I was not planning on having the reception on the beach, but I think I'm changing my mind and don't want to add the cost of the dance floor at the last minute. Any advice/thoughts? Thanks girls, last minute stress yikes! Hey Dreams425...we just came back from the Dreams this morning and had an AMAZING wedding...the day couldn't have been better (other then Anabel kind of forgetting to bring the vows we had written to the ceremony) and there wasn't a drop of rain in the two weeks! I know you are already there but if you are checking emails...we had our reception on the beach and it was AWESOME...we didn;t have a dance floor and everyone loved dancing in the sand....and honestly by the time you're actually done eating there isn;t much time to dance. We danced for about 2 hours then our whole party moved to the Disco.

Thanks Sunbride and jennyjean7 for answering my questions! Happy belated anniversay Sunbride!

A couple of last minute questions: 1. are the wedding coordinators in charge of playing the music for my BM's and myself as we walk down the aisle? I don't want to have one of my guests do it. 2. There is no charge for a rehearsal correct? 3. I have read the order of ceremony on page one, my FI and I have written our own vows but, will they still use something standard for us when we exchange the rings?

I am still stumped for the bridesmaids though...I still don't have a song for them and we leave on Sunday!!!!

Past brides....can anyone tell me if they used outside vendors...ie brought their own photographers or used ones from Mexico, did they have to show any type of documentation?
