Bride-2-Be

Thanks so much for the feedback and your amazing review now I can relax alot I emailed Nancy and she said a private reception would be $40 per person so I will have to see why the prices doubled I thought that was a little to much.

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
