iberobride16

hi everyone, Â i'm getting married at iberostar lindo on january 16, 2011 - we just booked about a month ago so it's going to be an interesting planning process! i'm so in need of advice from other lindo/maya brides who have been planning for a while, and you girls seem on the ball. i would love to get married on the beach, but the space looked pretty cramped when we checked it out. i loved the gazebo itself in the shopping center, but i couldn't wrap my head around getting married in that setting. any suggestions? and does anyone know if there's a way to have cocktail hour on the beach? Â as for the reception, we have the jambalaya restaurant reserved for a private reception. i honestly didn't see many options at all when we were there last month (we were in such a rush and also had to see other resorts the same day) but it looked pretty, so we went with it. ideally, i would love for the reception to be held in an open-air space, but from what i gather, that doesn't exist at the lindo/maya. then again, i didn't see any reception sites at the maya - does anyone have advice/pictures? Â i understand that the weather is supposed to be gorgeous in january with low humidity. i'm thinking that the air will be pretty crisp at night, so an indoor reception would probably be more comfortable for everyone. our ceremony is at 5:00, which i hope won't be too late (in terms of daylight). Â i'm totally all over the place - sorry about that! i'm sure as soon as the ceremony/cocktail/reception sites are finalized, things will get much easier. and i hear everyone on the travel arrangements being another stressor! don't know what we'd do without our travel agent!
