Thanks for the info everyone!!! We have decided to go with Grand Palladium White Sands.... At first we were kind of forced there due to price and flight restrictions... and now - I'M SO EXCITED!! Beautiful resort, beautiful gazebo (kind of roman arch by the beach). I can't wait!!

I'm planning on getting married May 2013 - Currently I'm talking to Dreams Riviera Cancun.... beautiful resort, but the only problem is I dislike the gazebo!! I have my heart set on being married underneath a gazebo (not just a regular beach wedding). My dress is quite old fashioned, so I really don't love the thatched look of many of the gazebo's... These are the problems I'm trying to overcome... 1) At least 40 guests (lots of nice gazebo's, but no room for guest seating) 2) Resort must be all ages - I have a 2 year old daughter that will obviously be staying with us for the week 3) Resort needs to be Puerto Moreles, Playa, etc (not Cancun, a lot of my guests want to be farther out) Any suggestions from past brides???? Any help would be appreciated!! Kate

Hi Everyone, I'm new to this site, but I've been following it for the past few months! I have a few questions (I've seen the answers scattered throughout), and I'm hoping maybe someone can help me out! My fiance and I are planning on getting married at DRC sometime in the beginning of May 2013 (emailed DRC and waiting for a response for dates). We're having about 40 guests, and planning on doing the free wedding (we are bringing our photographer, makeup artist, hairstylist etc so we don't need them through the packages). I was thinking we would rent out a restaraunt for our reception (possiby Seaside Grill), and then just move the party to the disco for those who want to continue on... Here's the questions: 1) DRC offers a promo pay for 5 rooms, receive the 6th one free. If we're booking a Preferred room for ourselves for 7 nights to receive the free wedding, the other 19 or so rooms can be booked through this promo right? There won't be any interference with the wedding package? My TA is a moron and can't tell me anything about this, and I haven't heard back from the resort yet. 2) I read somewhere that if you're renting the Seaside Grill for a reception, you have to use the tables that are already in there... Can anybody tell me what size they are approx, and how many people are seated at each table? Also, is there any possibility of switching out the chairs even ( I saw a picture of them and really didn't like them). Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Kate
