  1. So I actually got married at the Excellence Riviera location - which I think it is a lot less popular for weddings than EPM but I think the experience is very similar. I wrote a pretty detailed overview with pictures and a few tips that I wish I'd known ahead of time: http://www.thisnerdhouse.com/2013/06/destination-wedding.html But to sum it all up: I had no complaints whatsoever. I used the resort photographer/videographer and was very satisfied with the pictures. I used their hairdresser and was happy with that too. Did my own makeup only because I'm pretty particular about that. Choose to get married on the pier, which was windy but otherwise perfect if you don't have too many guests (less that 12 or so guests). Flowers, cake, decorations, service etc all surpassed expectations. Oh, and I had the gold package, which I highly recommend.
  2. I got married last April and I had the same problem when I was researching my wedding: lots of people on the threads asking questions and not a lot of people coming back after the wedding to provide feedback. So I wrote a pretty detailed account of my wedding at Excellence Riviera Resort here: http://www.thisnerdhouse.com/2013/06/destination-wedding.html The short version is that it all went perfect, and everything that I was stressing about beforehand turned out to be a total non-issue. I used the resort photographer and was happy with the way the pictures came out. The wedding video was no frills, but how often are you really going to watch that anyway? I also used the resort-provided hairstylist (I had the gold package) and I was happy with that as well. I did do my own makeup, so I can't comment on that. Honestly, it was perfect, so don't stress.
  3. I got married at the Excellence Riviera last April. I know that when I was doing research before the wedding I found way more people who had all the same questions as me, but I couldn't find a lot of answers from people who had gone through with their wedding. So a wrote a pretty detailed overview (with pictures) here: http://www.thisnerdhouse.com/2013/06/destination-wedding.html But the short summary is that it was totally perfect. All the things I stressed about beforehand where non issues. I went with the resort-provided photographer, and I was plenty satisfied with the quality of our pictures. The video was pretty no-frills, but it's nice to have. I used their hairdresser, and was happy with the result. I did do my own makeup though, so I can't comment on their makeup artist. Food and service were top notch. All in all, my advice is to stop stressing and go for it!
