Here is what was said to me: "Robyn, I understand your situation because I am working with you directly, and my job is make you a perfect wedding, how you think I feel that I do not have the perfect area for a more private area? Anyway I am working with the management all the time that I receive a message from the brides asking me this they just tell me that they are working in that, I am not the general manager to decide where I can set up everything I say my suggestion, I right now we have another area we will set up everything for the wedding on January 9th , I will prepare the picture and I will send you if you feel like is not the perfect area that you are looking for let me know." So it was never really said that they WERE GOING TO CHANGE It... just that she was working with management. And that they are very aware of complaints. Yikes.. well let's hope that they stop "working" on changing it and just CHANGE it. I cringe at the thought of having my wedding right next to the bar. And I noticed in the last set of wedding pictures posted (just a few posts up) all of the people with the bright colored towels who were sitting as close as possible to the wedding in order to observe. I don't want that in the background of my photos!

You should ask JFazzina, I know she did a site visit. And I think SDbeachgirl did as well.. sorry I can't be of more help!

I finally heard back from her - so excited!!! Yay And yeah, I was able to see the pictures.. I wonder why they didn't work for you? My FI opened them at his work too and was able to view them

I'm going to say like, never tried it but I do like vodka and crystal light on their own! Dancing with the stars?

Awesome!! And great job on the article

Congratulations on your engagement Mel, and welcome to the forum! Best of luck with your planning

Welcome AllieC and Soon2bmrsherron!

He is almost OCD about the house being clean, but not just being clean.. clean to HIS standards. Sometimes he says things like " the room is messy" and I just have no idea what in his mind looks messy, because it isn't! How many pets do you have?

Post pictures! But even if you do go back to one dress, it will be okay You can just sell the other one!

hungover : college

Haha - so true!

Which I guess is fine, but I would love to do it at sunrise, and the morning following the wedding I think I will be just in want to relax mode, so I am holding my breath that someone else books a wedding the following week - you unfortunately are just before But yes cant say enough good things about Elizabeth, she is super friendly, her daughters are totally on the ball, and she responds to emails and is super helpful! Happy planning! Haha I feel super impatient, I e-mailed her Tuesday night to finally book her if she's still available, but I haven't heard back from her. Now I'm checking my e-mail ALL the time hoping to hear back from her that it's good to go! If I don't hear back from her tonight you think it's too pushy to e-mail her again tonight?

Weeding at Dreams Riviera Cancun Best, So great to finally see pictures from a wedding there! It also makes me really think that having a DJ would be a lot of fun and worth it to get! (despite DRC's crazy price mark-up on them)

Dislike (but love the movie!) Reading?

weddings : love

Congrats & welcome Francesca! Everybody on here is so helpful and I'm sure as you poke around through the Riviera Maya threads it will help you narrow down your choices

Thanks so much for all of your help Boo!! I'm still waiting to hopefully hear back from Elizabeth Medina today that she is still available for my date so I can book her. And then I guess I'll worry about the DJ, like you I want to get a few things out of the way before committing to that
