Trisha, I love the picture you posted of our Trash the Dress session!  I can't wait to see the rest of them!

Thanks!

I'm starting to look at weather forecasts for my wedding date and right now patchy rain is predicted! 

I know that 12 days is plenty of time for the weather forecast to change but I'm starting to get nervous. 

Did anyone have less then perfect weather predicted for their wedding day?  Did it change?  If you had rain, how did it change your plans?

Thank you!

Yeemein, what a wonderful video Thank you for sharing!

You are such a beautiful bride!

Thanks, Kristin!

Tink, I hope you hear back soon too!

Thanks everyone!  I did get an email from Jazmin last night, it was such a relief!

Thanks, Kristen!  I've used that email a few times and usually I get a response, not today though : /

Tink, it looks like we have the same problem!  Would you please share how you contacted the hotel manager?  Thank you!

Did anyone fly out for their wedding without getting replies to their emails from Jazmin?

I haven't heard from her in almost 2 weeks and our wedding is in 18 days.  I have emailed Paloma regarding this but still no reply from Jazmin.

I need answers to several questions in order to complete orders with some of my venders. 

Did any other ladies have this problem?  What did you do?

Did anyone who had a poolside reception have problems with mosquitoes?  I'm wondering if I should set out bug spray for our guests  

Hi Louise,

I have a pdf document with all the spa information that Jazmin gave me.

Is it possible to post a pdf here?  Or if you PM me with your email I can send it to you

Thanks, Claruicke!

Did anyone get a manicure while they were at the resort?  How did it turn out?

J-me, I would love to read a review of The Makeup Pros if you have time to write one!   They are doing my hair and makeup for my wedding in August.

I have a question for other Bahia brides.

Jazmin said to pick 4 songs for the ceremony, Prelude, Processional, Interlude for the signing, and Recessional.

I emailed the pastor and the sample ceremony that he sent me has the signing of the ceremony as the last part of the ceremony.  Did you have one song for the signing and then start a new song as you walked back down the aisle?  Did anyone pick 3 songs and use the same song for the signing and walking back down the aisle?

Thank you!

Beautiful pictures!   Congratulations!

Thanks everyone!

Thank you for the suggestion Trisha, I just emailed Jazmin

Did anyone miss having a dance floor at their reception?  It is terribly expensive to rent through the resort so FI and I decided not to have one. 

Did any guests comment or did they just have fun dancing by the pool and jumping in at the end of the night?

Is the Tulum poolside reception close enough to the beach where people could dance in the sand if they wanted to?

Our poolside reception is scheduled from 9-11, did brides with the same time frame feel like that was enough time for dancing?

Thanks!

Thank you!  

A few questions for past brides

Did the restaurant staff cut your wedding cake for the guests after you and your husband cut the first piece?

My fiance and I would like to add an hour to our pool side reception.  Is this an option? If so, how much would it cost?

We went to Coco Bongo and it was so much fun! There's Coco bongo reps everywhere by the pool and lobby. We bought ours a couple days before. There's 2 packages.... 1) is VIP (lower level, better view of stage, table and seats)

2) regular pass (higher level, no seats, decent)

We had 21 people and went with the regular pass. If there is only a small group going then I would go with VIP. When we first talked to the coco bongo rep he quoted us $65 per person..... Then we talked him down to $60 plus bride and groom free entrance. I thought that was a good deal, until our best man talked to our wedding coordinator and got $50 per person. So I would probably wait and ask your wedding coordinator during your sit down meeting. It really depends on how many ppl are going to coco bongo.

How far in advance did you book?  How many people were in your party?

Thank you!

Good to know!  How many bags do you think would have been enough?  We are thinking about using flower petals instead of the carpet for our ceremony at the Tulum gazebo.

Thank you!
