Thank you so much!! Juan Navarro did my photos! He is incredible!!! Very talented and creative and super sweet. You are going to love it there! Good luck with the planning!!

Here are a few of my favorite professional pics!

Good luck, Mandy!!! Have a blast!!

Thank you so much sweet girl! It was amazing! You are going to love it!! Have so much fun!

Thank you Mandy!! We did get upgraded from a standard junior suite! Honestly, we were in a bunch of rooms that week and ours was no different. The only difference was the private pool and private lounge area (neither of which I spent much time if any at because my guests weren't allowed). But, if you get upgraded for free, why not!? You are going to love it girl! I will put up some professional pics when I get them back! Good luck with everything!!

Wow! You are stunning! So fun! I miss it already! Can't wait to get my professional pics back! Y'all look amazing! Congratulations!

Hello ladies!! I had my wedding at Excellence Riviera Cancun on July 6th! It was AMAZING! In regards to the post about Gloria, I can't imagine her being anything but incredibly sweet. She literally did anything and everything I asked and everything was perfect! We met with her the day we arrived and went over every detail. She is wonderful. I will try to keep this post short and sweet! The property is incredibly gorgeous! I did not want to leave but we went to Belize for our honeymoon. The staff as you've heard all are super nice and friendly. We got upgraded to Excellence Club but did not really see too much of a difference as most of our guests weren't and we wanted to hang out where they could. Excellence has it's own private pool and lounge. I did use the lounge a couple of times in the morning for breakfast and coffee. The rooms are gorgeous although the sheets always felt damp. I guess that's what you get for having it right on the beach. It was no big deal. The first night we were there we ate at Spice and it was pretty decent. We ate a Lobster House the next night and it was tasty. A lot of my guests really liked Basmati but I wasn't able to eat there. Barcelona has a great buffet! We went to the theater every night after dinner because they do a different show every night which were very entertaining. It is WARM though and your hair will get frizzy! Just a warning..ha! The wedding was absolutely stunning. I brought my own chair sashes and pinned little seashells to the back but they did it all for you! I cannot say enough how wonderful Gloria was through the whole process. Our OOT bag stuff got held up at customs in Mexico City and she even called them to see if they would let it through! (Which they didn't). I would not ship the OOT stuff if I were you. I spent so much money for nothing. About 3/4 of the way through our wedding, the sky started to get VERY dark and it got super windy so we kind of had to rush a bit through the end but we made it just before it started POURING! We had to move our cocktail hour to the area where they do karaoke but it was totally fine. We were taking pictures at this time. We had our Meet and Greet at Las Olas right on the beach and it was perfect. Everyone really loved the resort. The spa was also amazing! I would get Elias to do hair and makeup if you can! He was unbelievable! I will post pics! Our reception was at Barcelona and while it was definitely cooler, it was still somewhat warm...but I think that's what you get with "Mexico air conditioning." It turned out to be wonderful though. Beautifully decorated and plenty of room to dance. We used DJ Mannia as our Dj and he was really good but if I could go back I would probably just use my phone because there were a lot of songs I wanted played that he didn't play. But he was very nice. We all had a blast and even went to the Karaoke Club after the reception! They brought us breakfast in bed the next morning and it was awesome. We seriously did not want to leave. If anyone has any questions, I would be glad to answer them! Do not worry! You will LOVE every minute of it. But don't blink because it flies by! Here are a few pics that people took with their I-phones: This is at Las Olas for the meet and greet with my bridesmaids. My handsome hubby at Las Olas. My gorgeous bridesmaids and I. The amazingess Elias created. My daddy and I! And another.. Right before the ceremony...sorry these are out of order. First Dance. . Its official! I just love this one for some reason.. Sorry for all the pics! I could go on and on lol! We also used Juan Navarro as our photographer and he was AMAZING! The resort videographer also did a pretty decent job with the video! Good luck to everyone and have a blast!!

I will definitely let you know as soon as we get back!! I am bringing receipts just in case but hopefully we will breeze through like everyone else. I'm thinking that they see so many weddings coming and going there that it's probably not that big of a deal! Good luck with everything! Can't wait! Less than 2 weeks!!

Yay, that is so wonderful to hear! I am so happy for you! You look so stunning and happy!! So nice to hear Gloria is so sweet as well! Can't wait! We will be there in less that 2 weeks!!! Thank you for the info!

Has anyone had trouble getting OOT bag stuff through customs? If so, what did you do? I am bringing aloe, sunscreen, and cheap sunglasses with me. I just don't want them thinking I'm trying to re-sell it. My future MIL is bringing the rest of the stuff with her. Thanks for your help!

Wow! You look stunning! Thanks for your help. What is the product you got from Victoria's Secret??! It sounds like I need this, lol! Is it a spray or lotion? What DJ did you use? I am having my reception at Barcelona bc it was one of the only places that is inside but I know it isn't the prettiest. Hopefully we can decorate it pretty! What did you think of Agave? I am having my rehearsal dinner there but having it catered instead of the mexican food served there. Thanks so much again! You are gorgeous!

Thanks for all the info everyone! This is so helpful! Does anyone know if they do spray tans at the resort? I would get one before we leave but we are gonna be there 5 days before our ceremony so I think it will wear off.

How gorgeous! You are stunning! I love the flowy bottom!

Thank you!!

Thank you so much!

model me obviously lol. its not altered yet as you can tell from the back! ha!

I am getting married July 6th! We will be there at the same time! I am wondering the same about linens! It is way expensive to purchase them down there. I have heard that the foyer is super hot but haven't experienced it ourselves. I am doing it at Barcelona, however, the foyer looks much prettier. Barcelona is where everyone eats buffet everyday. I'm hoping we can decorate it a lot but at least it's air conditioned! Good luck with everything!

Has anyone ever done a slide show of pictures of the bride and groom? We went to a wedding in Playa a few years ago and they did a cute slideshow of themselves when they were little up till now with music. It was so cute. I was wondering if anyone has done that and if it is available at Excellence Riviera?

LOVE this! How beautiful!

Thank you so much!!
