Hello All: I've just been told by Ana @ Dreams Riviera Cancun that I cannot have an outside photographer! What is the deal? Has anyone else been told this?

They did confirm that my wedding date is available but I'm still waiting on pricing info.

Hi Everyone. To follow up, I received this from my TA when asked if I could do the legal ceremony at home after the symbolic ceremony in Mexico: "You would need to get married before you arrive and then do a symbolic ceremony there. They will want a copy of your marriage license for the symbolic ceremony. So you would either need to get married before arrival in Mexico or while you are in Mexico."

We both felt like if we did it before we left, while in Mexico it will feel strange. We too aren't telling anyone what our plan is bc too many people have too much to say ;0) I thought you had to be legally married before having the symbolic ceremony in Mexico. Have you confirmed you can have it after? If so, I'd love to do the same thing. I rather it be after. I want my destination wedding to be the first time I say 'I do'.

I have the same question. Not sure if I should book group or individual. Any suggestions? Also, what email address have you used to get in touch with the wedding coordinators?

Hello All, Has anyone used Juan Photos? If so, your thoughts?

Can't find it either. I sent a message to the admin. Hopefully we get it back.

I got a quote of $4250 for 8 hours I think. I thought that was pricey.

Hi. Just saw this thread. I'm using DW.com right now. My TA is responsive and really nice but I ended up finding my own resort. The prices they get for the resorts they have many dealings with, they can get good prices. But for this resort that I found on my own, her prices aren't good at all. The prices were about $50 higher. I asked her why and she said her prices include transportation. I pointed out to her that this hotel includes transportation with the lower price I found. In addition, I inquired about booking group vs. individual. She did explain the pros and cons of both ways but did not even try to pursue getting me incentives, free rooms, etc. for booking over 20 rooms. I had to tell her I want the price breakdown for booking individual vs. group. In any case, now I have my dad looking into it for me because he is a travel agent. I didn't go with him initially because I thought DW.com reps really were more than travel agents but they're not. I thought they were real wedding planners as well. We'll see what my dad comes up with vs. what my DW.com rep comes up with. If her prices are more, I'm going with my dad. He also provides a wedding website, registry, etc. as well. I thought DW.com might not work out but for $50, I took the chance. We'll see what happens.

Thanks all for the great suggestions.

Welcome! I'll be having my wedding in Riviera Maya in November 2010. I also was frustrated with all of the legal hassles to have the wedding in Mexico. I decided on a small legal ceremony here in NY before we head to Mexico for the big shindig. It's just easier. To do the legal ceremony in Mexico, we would have to get our documents translated into Spanish, get blood work and chest xrays done in Mexico, and be there 3-4 business days before the wedding. Just seems like alot.

Hi All. Can anyone suggest a good photography (photo journalist photos) for a wedding in Riviera Maya? I received a quote for 6 hours which I thought was a bit steep (4250)?? Thx

I'm thinking about using them as well. Let me know how it goes. Good luck.

Hello All: I'm new to the forum. My name is April. My wedding is November 6, 2010 in Riviera Maya Cancun. I'm hoping to have it at Dreams Riviera Cancun. Any helpful advice is welcome. =)
