Here are just a few pics from our amazing day!

OMG! We just got back from our wedding and everything was absolutely amazing! I will post my review sometime this week. 

You have absolutely nothing to worry about. The resort and staff are amazing. We were so surprised by how great the food was. 

Our wedding day was perfect, my expectations were blown out of the water.

We are two weeks away from departing to Mexico! I can't believe how quickly time has gone by. 

We are so excited!

Thanks loripanori!!!

Thanks MrsSmith2BMex! We are actually doing our legal stuff in Canada, in one week to be exact :-)  

Hi everyone, 

We are getting married in one month whoo whoo!

We are having our reception on the pool deck but have not requested to have more lighting (hanging paper lanterns, lights under the table, bamboo poles with hanging lanterns etc). Do you think they are necessary? will there be enough light without adding the extra lighting options?

Thanks, 

Emmy 

Yay for November!

We tie the knot on November 21, 2013! 

Savs,

What did you pay for the centerpieces?

Thanks,

Emmy

I was just quoted US$1701 for having our reception go for an extra 2 hours for 45 quests. According to Lorena the quote includes the open bar + tax + service fee for the extra two hours. I am not impressed by the ridiculous amount, considering that we are staying at on ALL-INCLUSIVE... 

Did anyone extend their reception? and if so, was it worth it to pay US$1701 for it?

Thank you, 

Emmy 

Hi Sabrina...how exciting!!!

The things I am bringing down are our wedding favours (heart shaped glasses for the ladies and ray ban looking glasses for the guys), table cloth overlays (the ones at the resort a complete rip off), table number frames and place cards. 

As for decorations, I am going to order 5 tall table centrepieces from the resort. I was not impressed by the crazy quotes I received from Lorena. She quoted me $250 for a bouquet I wanted and $180 for each table centrepiece!!! I decided to go with one of the bouquets included in the wedding package and with more affordable centrepieces. 

Our ceremony is at 3:30pm at the gazebo and the reception is at 6-11pm at pool deck. We have about 45 guests coming.

How many guests do you have? how many tables? and what wedding package did you choose?

Emmy 

Hi Sabrina26!

We are getting married on November 21, 2013!

I am not sure what the dimensions of the tables are but I know that the tables can hold 8-10 seats.

Happy planning!

Thanks ZachJess2013! 

I can't wait to see your pictures!

Thanks Savs!

Hi Kelly,

I sent them an email with the form filled out a while ago and they have still not gotten back to me...

I will send them a follow up email today.

Thank you for your reply :-)

Emmy

Does anyone happen to know how many hair stylist are at the hair salon? I was hoping I would be able to get my hair done at the same time as my mom and my little girl

Thanks, 

Emmy 

Hi ladies, 

Would you recommend getting my hair and make-up done at the spa?

Thank you, 

Emmy

They might do it, but I don't think you can.

Thanks! 

Hello!

Does anyone know if the wedding coordinator would be open to swapping the marichi trio (that comes with the ultimate wedding package) with the dance floor for 30 people? Although, I am sure we would enjoy the mariachi trio, I would swap them for the dance floor ;-)

Thanks,

Emmy

Exactly the same as yours lol :-)

Exactly the same as yours lol :-)

Have you decided where the ceremony and reception will be?

Good job!

I still have to reserve the DJ...Which DJ are you going with?

Also, which package did you decide on?
