Candaian - It's so crazy, what are the chances?? I LOVE our time! I wanted as close to sunset as possible and still have time for pictures. I've found that most people at an all inclusive usually start to pack up and leave the beach/pool area around this time to get ready for dinner so I'm hoping there will be less "stragglers" around at that time. It also has a great flow to the evening. Are you ready for this...we are also doing a symbolic ceremony and getting married at home right before we leave. Who is this Pastor Rick York? I was just going to follow the brochure and have Melani perform for us but this presents another option. I'm assuming he performs the ceremony in English? As for quests we are right on par with you again & hoping for 25-45. We are keeping everything pretty casual so far... I'll email Melani regarding the beach reception and post her reply once received. I really would like an outdoor reception however I'm not too interested in the buffet. I agree, the Facebook group has loads of pictures. There's also a forum you can join which has lots of questions & answers. My understanding is that the bride & groom choose the menu for the guests. I attended a wedding at Dreams Tulum a few years ago & the bride had the Silver Package. She choose the menu but was able to make changes once down there. Example: she changed the menu to suit kids and had chicken fingers instead of the meal the adults were eating. Her reception was poolside & they just had speakers with an iPod plugged in...we danced on the beach until we all headed over to the bar. For those of you not booking a banquet room. Canadian - I'm starting to like your set-up more & more...
