Hey girls, We arrived back home from Mexico yesterday and I will definitely be posting a review soon, but i read a few of the recent posts and wanted to let you all know that our dinner was at the portofino, we had 3 tables of 10 and we had a few people get up and speak there (fathers, MOH and best man) and it was hard to hear, we decided to wait until our poolside reception with the microphone to do ours. Also I would highly recommend DJ Bijan, we had him for three hours and even after paying for his guest pass we saved money compared to the resort DJ, he also announced us, and the first dance and the father daughter dance, not just played them.. He took requests and would probably say, announce anything you would want. He also speaks perfect English and you can send him a list of songs before hand to make sure he has them. As far as our music for the ceremony, we just brought my iphone with the songs on it and they played it from that! Bridesmaids walking - Guitar Tribute players - I'm yours (the Jason Mraz song without the lyrics) Bride Walking down - Somewhere over the rainbow - Jason Castro Sand ceremony - wonderful world - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole Recessional - Lucky - Jason Mraz/ Colbie Callait As far as the 1 o'clock ceremony, I was actually kind of upset about having it at this time but in hindsight I am so glad we did. We we're at the Akumal beach location, and although it was really hot there was a beautiful breeze to cool everyone off, and the symbolic ceremony is only a half an hour. We took Picture of the entire group for about 30-45 minutes, then had time to take wedding party pics, have a drink with the group, take just bride and groom pics at the haceienda and a few other locations and still just made it to supper on time! wow long post! haha but i hope this helps someone!
