I want to be sure my wedding will be fun, and I'm not sure the mariachis and an ipod will cut it. I know there's a fire breather/dancer performance thing available too, and dj's, but are there any other ideas to make it fun
Oh, and has anyone ever heard of doing a (booze) cruise? They have one in cancun that you can do for only $1000, but I want something that's much closer to the hotel. I think the 45 min drive to Cancun is going to kill the moment. Ideas? We simply had an iPod and a banquet room and we had a blast! The servers and the head server Alejandro were very fun and loosened everyone up... I'm sure the never ending supply of booze shots didn't hurt either... A fire dancer would be neat but might take the focus off of the reception and you and your new hubby. Alejandro really made it fun for us - don't worry, if things are getting dull, the head server will spice things up for you!
Someone on the Unofficial Barcelo board did a booze cruise catamaran out of Puerto Aventuras which is about 10 minutes away. I believe it was chartered by Captain Rick's? They had a private charter two days before the wedding I think - she said it was the highlight of her trip. Google Captain Rick's Mexico and it should come up.
