Oopps, nevermind- I read that your ceremony was at 4! Do they offer to do bride/groom and family pictures prior to the ceremony???

AMAZING PICTURES! CONGRATS! I am getting married at the Akumal Beach location- are we assigned a photographer or do we choose??? What time was your wedding??? Thanks!

Hi Christina- How was the weather in November!?

We just booked through the GBP website...

Thank you for all your info- I really appreciate it! Sounds good! I was told that November is outside of the busy season, so hopefully we will get upgraded to a suite with an ocean view... Who is your wedding coordinator? Besides the pool site, did they offer you any other outdoor reception site? Were you able to send them pictures of floral arrangements and decor that interests you? What have you heard about the resort DJ? Did you research any bands by any chance? Thanks!!!

Hi Everyone! I am in the process of booking our wedding in November 2011- Does anyone suggest booking a regular room (Akumal) and then hope to get upgraded to the suite or club golden (with the possible upgrade included in the de luxe symbolic ceremony package)? Still waiting to hear about options (outdoor) for reception sites...Do you know of the reception sites (not indoor restaurants)??? Has anyone decided to do a reception including dinner, dancing, and cocktails? Or is dinner always separate? Do you suggest staying on the beach in Akumal and then having your guests stay in Coba (cheaper)? Have you booked your hotel stay through GBP or did you book through another operator (i.e., Apple Vacations)- how do you get a discount for your stay (by booking before all of your guests in order to secure a wedding date)? Thank you!

thank you!!
