Thanks you Princess for posting the link to the maracas! They are so cute! I was fully intending on going with Mishka designs for personalized maracas but with hundreds of dollars of difference, I think I will order these and personalize them myself with my bridesmaids as a fun pre-wedding activity. Your wedding was very nice, I love all the details and it looked like your group had a great time! You were stunning in that gown!

Hi Ladies, after doing a little digging I've found a facebook page for Visual Sound. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Visual-Sound-Music-for-your-eyes/162421077127411#!/pages/Visual-Sound-Music-for-your-eyes/162421077127411?v=wall Seems like they have a decent set up and some good pictures of weddings they've done...looks like people are dancing atleast! LOL...I think his dancefloor may be a touch smaller but it still lights up... Alot of his posts are in Spanish so it's hard to understand what he's advertising or posting but you can atleast check it out for now...

Hey Janine! Did you know that you are on the marketing video for DRC on bookit.com? I watched it the other day as I sent a few guests there to book (prices are very good on that site BTW, even for Canadians) and I totally recognized you on the video being interviewed (after seeing your wedding pics, you are hard to forget cause you're GORGEOUS! LOL) so I thought I would mention it...thanks for all the helpful planning info and the suggestions on deco cancun and stuff. Did you say you had a excel sheet that you used to track everything? I would LOVE if you could email that to me at [email protected]. You had an AMAZING wedding...so organized and truly perfect down to the last detail...well done! Hope you are enjoying your newlywed days :-)

She did get us a good deal and arranges for both flight and accommodations and works with all of the tour operators both American and Canadian to make sure we get the best price...they are great at delivering on price. She's very easy to get ahold of and gets back to me quickly. I'm very happy with her service so far. My wedding is May 9th 2011, so not too far away :-) Can't wait! Good luck with your planning!

I'm using destinationweddings.com as well. My Wedding Planner is Joan Twohie...she's been great and they are very competitve when it comes to finding travel packages. I have people coming from all over Canada and she's been great at finding good prices for all of them. I like the extra features of the site as well and the easy payment plan. When is your wedding date? I'm May 9th.

I bought silk flowers for my bouquets at www.wedideas.com, it was featured on www.theknot.com and they were much more reasonably priced then the $60-$120 they wanted to charge for the bouquets at the resort. I thought that I could use them for the ceremony, and then bring them back home to use as decor for the at home reception, and then give them to the girls as a keepsake after that. So, really I'm getting 3 times the use out of them over the real and more expensive flowers. I even got a matching boutenniere for my bridesman so he looks the same as the girls :-)

I'm actually buying my bouquets online and using silk flowers ...sshhhh don't tell! LOL...I ordered them online from www.wedideas.com and they were very reasonably priced in comparison to the real flowers that the resort is charging $60-$120 per bouquet. I have 4 bridesmaids and a bridesman so it just was too much. My thought is, I can use them at the ceremony, i can use them again as decorations at the at home reception and then the girls can keep them as keep sakes after that so really I'm getting 3 times the value then the real flowers...check out that website, it has tonnes of great ideas and was featured on www.theknot.comÂ

Definitely great news...I'm going beach as well and was panicking when I read that the Chuppah was going to cost more...seems like things can add up pretty easily and quickly. I think I'm going to reconfirm with the resort and bring those emails so they don't try and pull a fast one on me! :-)

I can add to this! Lindsay & Greg May 9 2011

What is this 3G promotion that is mentioned? I'm curious...any info is appreciated! Thanks

I'm from Ottawa Canada, getting married at Dreams Riviera Cancun on May 9th 2011. Â Hoping to start with the real planning soon!

We are getting married May 9th 2011 at 4 pm at Dreams Riviera Cancun...a day before yours! That's exciting! I'm sure we'll see you there! I have a pretty big group coming from Canada. Haven't gotten around to STD yet, have them desigend but my TA hasn't gotten us a good enough price yet. What stage are you at? It's great to know that someone will be going through the exact same stuff as me with the same resort at the same time! LOL. Â It would be great if we could work together a little bit on how to get things done! Â Lindsay

Awesome! I'm Lindsay and my fiance Greg and I are getting married the day before on May 9th 2011 at 4pm at Dreams Riviera Cancun! We'll be there at the same time! Exciting!!! I hope to have a decent group coming with from Canada...how about you? Â I've not done very much in terms of planning aside from notification emails to family about the date. My STD's and invitations are designed but not printed yet or sent as my TA hasn't found a good price for the resort yet. I'm just about the shop for a dress lol you can say i'm a bit of a procrastinator. What stage are you at? Â It's good to meet someone who will be going through the exact same stuff with the same staff at the same time! Good luck!

Fantastic...this is the next best thing to being onsite with the wedding coordinator- Genius idea and I'm so glad i registered!!!

I would love to be included in the DRC webinar. My wedding is May 9th 2011. Â Thanks!

So I have changed my location and have set my date. May 9th 2011 at the Dreams Riviera Cancun resort with 50+ guests...the Azul Beach hotel that we had originally wanted would not accept groups over 20 people due to renovations so my second choice was DRC. I am pretty excited and have been slowly starting the process of planning...found my bridesmaid dresses to order online and bought a few decor items for the reception...I know time will go by quickly so I'm hoping to stay organized and on top of it all...pretty exciting stuff though...hard not to think about it all the time LOL...

Oh and DO NOT PAY for the cocktail hour...my TA said in all her years doing weddings nobody ever pays for a cocktail hour...it's a money grab. Just tell your guests to meet at one of the bars (they're likely all part of the all inclusive plan anyways) and have them have a couple drinks there while you do your photos. My TA saved me $2000 by not having to pay the extras on the cocktail hour...i love her! LOL

Not very far LOL...My TA has recommended we wait until the package prices are out to send the STD cards out but most of my guests know the date and have confirmed they want to attend. I'll have about 50 guests along with us so it should be a pretty exciting group...I'm about to buy my bridesmaid dresses online and I've bought a couple of bunches of seashells for the tables...that's all I've done. probably won't worry about the dress until around Christmas time and then the decor items, the OOT gifts and the rest of that stuff...I know it'll creep up quickly though so I'm trying to stay organized and on top of things...I have great friends willing to help and also have a friend in Cancun that has offered to help me with anything i need down there in advance...so I hope it'll all turn out okay LOL How about you? How far along are you?

Hey Patti! Congrats! I'm Lindsay from Ottawa and my wedding is booked at DRC for May 9th 2011...maybe we'll cross paths! Good luck with your planning!

I'm a Dreams Riviera Cancun May 2011 Bride as well! My date is May 9th at 4pm. Sooooo excited! Are you working with a travel agent or are you trying to deal with the resort directly? I would strongly recommend working with a TA as they can assist in getting in touch with Ana, who is very busy and sometimes very slow in returning emails and calls...but don't stress about that, I hear she's fantastic once you arrive. Happy Planning!

I just booked today and confirm May 9 2011 at 4pm. Pretty stoked about it...it took me forever to decide on the right location and it came down to Dreams Riviera Cancun and Grand Princess and I am so pleased that I confirmed Dreams. I have absolutely no fears about anything since it's new and modern and beautiful...Knowing that Ana is a little slow eases my mind since I've read that she is great once you arrive so I will do what I can from here but will try to be relatively stress free until I arrive. The (extremely long) countdown is on! Lindsay
