Iberostar Quetzal and Tucan brides! You have probably already heard that there was a fire at the resort on the weekend and it will now be closed until mid-December while they rebuild. Just wanted to give a heads up if not as I haven't seen it through traditional news sources. Our wedding is at the end of January so I'm hoping their estimated reopening date is accurate!!!

@@jsparrow10 I have a few questions for you if you don't mind! Our wedding is coming up in January and I still feel like. Have so much to do! 1. Did you have a private reception? I think I saw that you were planning on having your reception at the disco. What did you end up doing and were you happy with it? We are planning on a private reception at the steakhouse. We aren't going to be getting a DJ but plan on bringing our own music on an iPod. I asked the cost to rent the sound system for the reception and I think she misunderstood my question as she said $150 for 30 mins. 2. Did you use the resort photographer and were you happy with their photos? 3. Did you get your wedding dress steamed? How much did they charge for that? Thank you so much!!

Love the sunglasses @@TinkerSofi ! Do you mind sharing where you ordered them from? I'm running into the same problem as you - I keep finding great deals on Amazon.com that don't ship to Canada!

What a great idea! @@Mrsktobe I would love to see your template if you don't mind sharing further. My email is laurahanby@@Rogers.com Thank you so much!!

@@JennyZ thank you so much for sending that info! I had some of the documents but not all, so definitely helpful. I love how organized you are - I am a planner too and usually much more on the ball than I am right now but our second son is due any day now. I'm just glad we got the wedding and vacation packages booked before I popped! The only other thing that I'm hoping to get soon is more details on the restaurants for a private dinner (menu, what the seating plan would look like, photos of standard decor). Would you happen to have that? The word document Connie provided "my wedding at Iberostar" did not have the level of detail I need!

I would caution against sending out invitations in waves based on our experience. If there are any connections (family, friends) then chances are they will talk! We ended up unintentionally offending some family members this way because my hubby was not on top of collecting email addresses for his large family.

@@JennyZ we have just booked our wedding for the Iberostar Quetzal for January 2016. I see you're from Kitchener - I grew up in Waterloo We live in Ottawa but about half of our wedding party will be travelling from your area and TO. I was wondering if you could possibly send me the info that you have kindly sent to others? My email is laurahanby@@Rogers.com Any others out there who have had their wedding at Iberostar Quetzal? I'd love to hear what add-ons are worthwhile, which restaurant you chose, etc.
