Thank you.

Trying to repost review with photos, using a Mac...ughhh!

Yes, I forgot that part. Thank you for mentioning it. The bows were $40 set-up fee and I received a credit for $150 because the photographer ( included within the Divine Package) was unavailable to shoot my welcome dinner vs wedding due to the abundance of weddings. However, he still came for 30 min and my final exact total was 3349 w/tax

OOT BAGS COMPLETE!!

Hello All, After the wedding, I was pooped!! I have finally written my review. Please let me know if you have questions. http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/products/now-jade-riviera-cancun/reviews/7509

I just returned from my wedding, review to follow. I would recommended the Pergola. I changed from the fountain at the last minute because it is right by the door, however it is a beautiful location.

Thank you!!! I am thinking about your 4 hour reception, I like that idea!!!! Im just trying to figure out what to do with the people between that in between time while we take pictures.

It was cheaper, but most importantly is "forced" people to give gifts prior to us leaving and we got about 1500! I was more stressed about the reception more than I have wedding, but I am happy I did it first vs waiting until after the wedding.

Ok, well your explanation(steps taken) help a lot. Thank you

Shannon can you post your templates, if possible?!!! I really like them.

I also forgot to mention. My fiancee and I had a sendoff party prior to leaving for the wedding to appease those who are not attending the wedding in Cancun. It was a blast!!

I had this same issue. I wanted people to come to my wedding and spent 2 years trying to make my family and friends happy. At the end of day its your happiness and finances that are impacted( if you families are not assisting financially). When I was tired of asking for opinions and worrying about my family, I put down my deposit for NJ. I did not have and/or want to pay for a wedding of 200+ people. Once you send out the invitation, your family and friends will decide if they are attending or not. Your wedding is an opportunity for people to see to your wedding, but to use it as a vacation. I hope this helps, it surely helped me and I am 11 days from having the wedding of my dreams w/25 guests attending.

THANK YOU!

Shannon, Did you have a welcome dinner? If so were you able to select the buffet location? Were there activities that you and your guests participated in? I believe I saw an excerpt referring to cigar rolling, zumba and other day classes. Is this true?

Thank you for the clarification. I did not want to incur that expense!

Previous Brides can you tell me how long the ride was from the airport to the NJ? Also, were you able to purchase excursions from the resort(concierge) or did you use an outside site; like viator.com. I would like to have a raffle during my welcome for my guests and purchase jet skiing, snokeling outings.

Yes, Deisy told me that it was a 150 charge for the sound system and you can only use it for the ceremony. If you opt to use for the reception there is an additional charge of 150. I haven't had my wedding yet,17 days in counting , but this is what I was told.

congrats!!! Anxiously awaiting your review!

I know its been awhile but I was wondering you still have your template you could send my way?!!! Its so pretty!!! Thank you in advance. [email protected]

I checked with Deisy and she said NJ accepted American Express because this is how we plan to pay.

Well Shannonmarie, Looks like your wedding countdown will be ending soon! If I don't get a chance to say it, enjoy your day and congrats to you and your husband to be!

Tova, just noticed your avatar was updated. That's a beautiful picture and love your dress.

I will also be getting married by the Fountain in 29 days!!!! I will post pics and give you my review after the wedding!!! I hope I made the right choice as well,but from the pictures I saw it was beautiful place to have the ceremony. I am nervous about the privacy..... ***fingers crossed***

Thank you so much for your prompt response! Lastly, NJ did they "shuttle" buses take you into town or was catching a cab fairly easy?

Also, did anyone or their guest rent vehicles? What it or cumbersome process and did anyone prefer to use a taxi?
