Hi Everyone!! My fiance and I have recently booked our wedding at the RIU Palace Riviera Maya in December. We have 25-30 guests that will be making the trip from Minnesota. We booked the caprice package through our TA and received some feedback from the resort and are still questioning a few items. Here are our Questions: 1. Our big question is the reception I have looked online for hours but have not been able to find too much of where you can have a reception/dance more outdoors at this resort. Also if anybody has any pictures from a reception that was held there that would be great. 2.What is the big difference between the semi private reception compared to the private?? We get a semi private included but I am afraid it might not be as personal as we would like. 3. Is it worth it to book a DJ, or would the resort have a sounds system with a ipod hookup work? and can you bring an outside DJ into the resort from the Cancun area? 4. I see that the resort has a photographer, but am wondering if I want to book through a different one. How would I go about booking a photographer other than the resort photographer? Thanks for the feedback, Steph
