A few more pics for you ladies We wanted something different for a guest book, so we had a canvas made by allpopart.com and gave our guests permanent marker to write around our faces..

The cocktail hour was done in front of the ballroom .. its a little section between the front of the hotel and the walkway to the pool area

Ladies my review is up. If you have any questions feel free to email me at [email protected]

Hey ladies, I'm back and married!! The wedding was amazing!! I will have a review up as soon as possible.

Thanks, We leave this Saturday. I just checked the weather and its supposed to rain.. I hope it stays nice out for a few days and hopefully get some sun the day of the wedding.

I really would like fireworks over sparklers ... im still waiting to hear back from the company. They were going to reach out to dreams

Just spoke to Cecilia. She said that Mannia is going to be at my wedding. They are now using a new DJ company so for all new bookings it will have to be there company but Mannia will finish off all the booked events on schedule.

Interesting.. My wedding is next Thursday and Cecilia hasnt mentioned anything about not using Mannia anymore.

I am super excited! We finished up our table numbers today and seating chart. Im waiting to hear back from cecilia and this fireworks company. We wanted to do fireworks in the ending but cecilia is telling me it is prohibited on the property. The company promedsa told us they can possibly do it from the hotel next door as long as dreams agreed to it.

Thank you! I am super excited.. most of our stuff is done and now just getting seating arrangements worked out and trying to figure out what we are going to suggest for music with DJ manana

Ladies just to give everyone a heads up... do not mail the first aid kits.. bring them with you. I mailed a ton of stuff to mexico on monday and today found out that some of the stuff will be sent back to us because they will not accept it there... including the first aid kits and anything made in china.

My wedding is January 27th .. I am getting nervous. I spoke to Cecilia and I wanted to hire a fire drummer show for 30 minutes during the reception and originally she told me it was $500 and now shes telling me its $1250. UGH!!!

Ladies, we got our suit today. It really is very nice! We got the suit for the best man and I am really still amazed that it was that cheap. I will post pics as soon as possible.

Thank you so very much! We plan on having the reception at the ballroom as well and extending the time till 1 am. I guess we will pay for the open bar for th 50 people coming for a couple of extra hours. Which DJ did you use? We got a DJ as well as fire starter/drum dancers for 30 minutes and maybe going to add another performer. I am flying in a photographer from home that we have used since we were kids. I'm not so worried about the money because in NY this would cost us a lot more, however I just want to make sure that this is possible. What did you do for centerpieces? I sent Cecilia pictures of the centerpieces I want and the florist she uses priced us at 150 per centerpiece.. which isnt too bad. I am comfortable using everyone that cecilia suggests because i know they will use the best, being that they do weddings there everyday she knows who to use and who not to use.. atleast i hope.. haha.. If you get a chance and dont mind can you email me some more pics of your day.. [email protected] Thanks again for all the info!!

Sorry forgot my last question .... Did you have buffet style? I want to have a sit down dinner for 50 guests.

Did Cecilia charge you extra to party till 1? Also can you give me the make up contact info and who did your hair? Thanks again for the help!

Sorry one more question regarding the ballroom. Cecilia told me that if we wanted to extend the 3 hours reception it would cost more. Did she charge you more? Our ceremony is at 4:30-5:30 then 630-730 is apps&cocktails and reception starts at 7:30... which would end at 10:30. but we want to go to atleast 12. I have no problem paying the dj more for the extra hours but more just for the room is crazy!

Congratulations! You looked gorgeous! Pictures came out great! Can you tell me where the reception was? is that the ballroom? Thanks Rachel

Im so sorry that sucks!

Ladies we are bringing a photographer from home. Paying for his stay at the hotel and airfare. Cecilia told me it would not be a problem. Honestly I dont see how they could even say no. If they are staying at the hotel and want to take pictures of you and video who is going to stop them... Im pretty sure Cecilia and Claudia will not be runnign around blocking them from taking pics.

Thank you for your reply. The one im specifically looking for is the kit that has the stick figure guy that is put on the first aid kit

Ladies can you tell me where I can find the templates for the OOT bags... including the hangover kit template thanks in advance

We are using my fiance's father who is also a deacon and Claudia is giving me a trade out for not using their minister. We are getting an hour free of the music equipment for the appetizers and cocktails.

Ladies for those of you who are getting married this month! Good luck and congrats!! I am sure you will look beautiful and the day will be amazing! I am getting married January 27 2011 and can't wait!!

We are getting married January 27 2011 at the Dreams Cancun Resort = )
