You will have to rent a dance floor from the resort or if you use an outside DJ they might have one you can rent. The music has to be over by 10:30 unless you are doing it in the ballroom. I am pretty sure that the wedding guide has all of this information also.

Read the wedding guide because it talks about this

was this it? russell+hazel® Ideas

I emailed Lizet today asking about a deposit-she gave me my confirmation number a few months ago but nothing was discussed about a deposit

I'm having a hard time choosing between the Seaside Grill and the Ballroom. Ideally, I wish I could have it at the Seaside Grill but I'm a little uneasy about the music/dancing having to be finished at 10:30 pm. I know we could move the party to the Disco, but I feel like this might break up the festivities a lot. So I guess I'm still contemplating using the Ballroom but I can't seem to escape the feeling that if I wanted to get married in a Ballroom, I could have done that here in Ottawa. Hmmmm. Anyway, aside from mulling that over a lot, the planning has been pretty smooth! This forum has really helped me feel at ease. I feel pretty well informed about everything and I know not to freak out if all of the little details haven't been worked out ahead of time. You have 50 people booked already! OMG! I feel like all of our friends are so last minute. I think we are going to do everything on the beach-I am with you about the ballroom and being married somewhere local. Did you decide on a photographer? We just hired DJ Mannia for the reception

yea FH loves it-it takes a while for it to work but definitely worth it! My man is a bit hairy

I got my bikini done and love it. IT does grow back just not as coarse-the hair growth now is like arm hair. I would totally tell you to do it. My FH is getting his back done also

It depends on what you ate-if you had tempura then no-if you had something like spicy tuna or california rolls then they are not bad at all. There is a great website that I always go to when in doubt MyPlate: What I've Eaten, Calorie Tracking, Water Intake, and Graphed Diet Goals - The Daily Plate Calorie Counter You can put in a food and it will give you all the NI

I know that Tammy (the host) and a few other girls on here are travel agents that specialize in dw

For transportation from the airport I was able to find a great deal on a van - $180 both ways for as many as 8 people so that's awasome and I would be glad to share that with anyone that needs that link. My FI and I are renting a Jeep Wrangler there so I was also able to find a great deal on that - $150 for 10 days there and I would be glad to share that link with anyone interested also. It's only 28 days to the wedding and 23 days till we leave so I am quite excited that I think almost all the arrangements are on their final leg A lot of travel agents can do something called a "price match" where if you see it cheaper online they can match the price. I looked at a website and after talking to my MIL a travel agent we both realized that the price did not include transfers and tax...I just felt much safer using a travel agent-what if soemthing goes wrong or your flight gets cancelled...that is just me and the way I work-I always want to be safer than sorry

of course! People do it all the time!! If you do a search tons of girls have done it-they call it their "legal day"...we are doing it because my family can't travel and I still want them to see me get married. We are doing it very low key

Do you mean legally getting married before your mexico wedding? A lot of people do that. We are doing that as well

wow-you ladies are good! I just ordered my dress this past weekend-my save the dates are out, DJ is booked and photographer is done. Probably going to get the invitations done soon too-just so I can get it out of the way

IT is your day so you get to dictate what you where! I decided not to do a train but I still got a great wedding dress. I know that someone else suggested Maggie dresses-they are great. Also look at Mora Lee and Private Lable by G...check out the thread "Show us your dress"

don;t be worried about it! I am sure that you wont even notice anyone else there but you and your hubby

Quote: Originally Posted by beachformeplease Most of my guests that will be attending will need to take minimal time off work, so I'll have to have the wedding on a Sat or Sun, which is limiting the availability already. It's looking like it's going to be March for sure, now, so...worried about the crowds, etc. Also, Lizette says you can't lock down a reception locale until you get there!! In my last email with Lizette she said that you can pick your location about a month before your wedding date-it is kind of annoying because there is another bride that day (at least for me) and I would love to be able to do it-also the invitations would be helpful

If I remember correctly Spring Break for most is in March

I happen to know that there is another wedding already scheduled on May 7th other than mine. The resort policy is to only allow 2 weddings per day (supposedly), although I have heard of instances (perhaps last year) where there was 3 allowed in a single day. Don't feel too discouraged, but consider asking Lizet/Landy which days they have available in May and let them know that you have to follow the legal 4 day requirement. Perhaps that might be an easier route in securing a day since I know that May is pretty busy. Good luck! Hey Sarah!! How is the planning going?

Quote: Originally Posted by beachformeplease That's what I think I'm going to do since they are so busy. Was it difficult to reach them by phone? I got an autoreply message that Landy is out of the office until Sept. 16! I called back a few times until I spoke to someone live..I actaully have never spoken to Landy-only Lizette...it takes a few days for her to get back to me also. the date i wanted was already booked since they only do 2 weddings a day now

you wont get spring breakers at Dreams Tulum-you are about an hour and half away from Cancun. I had to call the resort to get my date-be flexible because May is a very busy month. I am getting married 5/2 and I wanted to get married 5/16-tell them that you are open about dates

I would email the resort ASAP-May is a very busy month for them-also give them multiple dates that you could do

your pictures are great! I love the way your hair came out
