what is their website pls I will be getting married in PDC too!

I felt the same way! That was my #1 choice and once i received the breakdown of the prices, it would hae been just as much as a wedding here! that is the whole purpose of going to mexico!!! To cut back on my expenses! Fortunatley I went with the Riu Palace Riviera Maya in PDC. Much cheaper! I think my wedding plus lots of extras will be around 10K (w/ 50 guests!) In my opinion, that is the way to go! All you can Eat and Drink!!! Ohhh Boy!!!!

great info!!! We're doing a ladies night a few nights before the wedding and are planning on going to coco bongo!!!

That is a great garter belt! do they have other ones Where did you get it from?

Have fun!!! We'll be looking foward to your review!!!

do you still have it? I love the idea, especially since I wont be having a religious ceremony! I can get it blessed and still feel holy!!! LOL

Its a beautiful dress, I might be interested! I have a dress that is on its way, but i may not fit into it ;o( I get it 15 days before I leave to Mexico so i wont have much time for alterations. I am a size 8 and bought a size 6 dress!!! YIKES so i might need a back up dress! Please let me know if you are still selling it! btw - is it ivory?

do you still have the dress? Im waiting for my dress to come in, but its cutting close to the day of my dw, and if it needs alterations I wont have time to get them. Originally I am an 8 and i ordered mine as a 6 (hoping to lose weight!) Im gambling, I know...so now i need a back up dress! Let me know!!!

They are out of CA. I sent them a picture of my dress, then Susan (the lady at the store) had me call her and gave me suggestions to look at. Very nice and professional. A good option if you don't want to spend a lot! Thank you very much!!! I think im going to get one for $45!!! Much better than a couple hundred I thought I would spend! I found a really nice one, with a nice design!

These are great! I was looking for someone that made these passports and airline ticket invitations, but ended up making them myself!!!! I made them, they looked great, but nothing compared to yours!!! I wish I would have known about this forum a long time ago!!! I would have gone through you! ...maybe my next wedding!!! Hahahah j/k!!!!! GREAT JOB! i might have to hit you up for the monograms!!!

My Fiancee wants me to wear a veil because he says it makes it even more official! WTF? Anyways, Im still stuck between a rock and a hard spot! Plus, I dont want to spend so much money on a freakin veil!!! LOL

I love this dress too! This is the second dress i got. The first one was also a maggie soterro dress...but it was way to big and lacy for the beach! This one was better, lighter and dare I say...sexier!!! LOL I got this dress in Ivory. I just hope that it looks just as good as the Silver Haze!!! I love all of Maggie's dresses, so im sure I will love it!

Do it! It will be an amazing moment for the both of you! Right after your ceremony and vow's your really going to be feeling it! It will truly be special for you and your guests!

I can't decide weather to go with Tamia and Eric Benet's "Spend my life with you" Or Atlantic Starr's "Always" They're both really good songs!!!

Great information! I want all of it!!! LOL I have to get more points!!!

Hello Ladies, I chose my dress and it should be coming in on october 31st! The problem is im leaving to Playa del carmen to get married on Nov. 20th at the Riu Palace Riviera Maya!!! I attached a pic of my dress. What do you think? Should I wear a veil or something in my hair? Kadence - by Maggie Sottero Thanks in advance!

The disco is at the Riu Tequila... It is a little "worn!". My wedding was at 5 PM and I had an insane 3 hr cocktail hour( we did have h'ordeurves,pictures and 2 hrs of live music to fill the space)... but I feel your pain...our guests were beyond drunk for our wedding!!That was OK for us but I am sure some people would not want that. Some of our guests changed clothes because it was so hot out and then came to the reception.It does give people time to do personal things. There isn't alot you can do about the time, but you will still love your wedding...it will be amazing! As far as the private reception...you have to have 40- 50 people attending and everything will fall in place when you get there and see the venue. We used all of their table decorations(terra cotta candles and cream tablecloths) and purchased flower arrangements...I wouldn't worry about your tables looking empty if you don't order flowers..you can get maracas in town(we did) and they will set them on the tables for you.And with 4hrs of cocktail time....no one will notice the table decorations!!! Good luck..I am so excited for you...you are going to have the best time! I am so excited now!!!! Thanks for all your help and advice! We will definatley make the most of what they have to offer! Nothing beats the price of this wedding! You seriously get so much more here than in the US! I already know its going to be a drunk fest at my wedding! I already have 43 ppl booked, and at least 12 ppl that have yet to book their packages! ....12/43 are the parents and aunts and uncles. The rest is our best friends and cousins!!! Oh Boy!

Let me know which restauraunt is the best one to have the wedding dinner at and if you get a chance, let me know about the disco!!! How many guests are going? Private reception

WOW!!! Those look great!!! It looks like you put lots of work into them! I wish I would have known about this website before I did my save the dates!!! Grrr

Thanks for posting a great review. I will be getting married there on Nov. 20th, and i have been a bit scared because everything is out of my hands. I see that you had a private reception. Was that in the Disco or at the restauraunt? That is one of my worries because I hear that the disco is dingy and dirty! Also they say that the private dinner will be at 8:30 which i dont like because I am getting married at 4 pm. Do you have any advice regarding the private reception help!

These look Awesome!!! I did a STD with the PAssport to love theme too. Only difference was i didnt include the pages in the middle (too much work!!!) So when you open in, it had our picture on it and was in the format of the passport. I will include a copy fo you too view. You did a great job!

Wow, this is a great idea!! Don't mind if I do use this format!!! You must have put alot of work into it!

HOW EXCITING!!! When are you getting there? I will be getting married at that same hotel on Thursday the 20th!!! I'm sure I will see you at the pool! This is the best Forum site...EVER!!!!

Do you happen to know if they will hold a reception at one of their restauraunts w/ dj and a dance floor? I'm not too thrilled about renting the disco! I hear its not the best place for a reception!

How exciting!!! How many people are attending your wedding? Im sure we will meet down there while lounging at the pool w/ some tasty drinks in our hands!!! Where are you getting married at?
