Leigh - Thank you for the information. I remember a bride goign to WalMart. Does anyone know if they carry food/ how hard it is to get there.

You can find all the candy you can find in the US in Mexico at walmarts/ 7/11/ and Oxxo's. It may be a little more expensive (by .25 cents) but it may save you having to worry about it melting or give you room to pack other things.

Hi girls! I just returned from having my wedding at Dreams Cancun and it was absolutely gorgeous! Everything went so perfect & Claudia was amazing! I used the resorts photographer (daniel) and the pictures are breathtaking of us, family and wedding party. I will post some of them once I figure out how to on here, lol.

Hi! I am getting married at Dreams Cancun January 6  2013. Any body have any info on length of reception? Claudia was telling me my reception would be from 5-8 and I am freaking out!

My reception was 7-10 pm

[beachwed2013]

The reception is 3 hours. From there you can pay for an extra hour of reception ($$ for DJ, for Drinks and for Reception for each guest) to push 1 extra hour. I am doing dinner from 6-9 (Reception). Giving everyone an hour to freshen up, then the youger (And older if they so choose) crowd will head to desires to finish the celebration there. Free DJ and Drinks!. Also this gives everyone some time to freshen up, as well as time alone for the future hubby and me. Just a thought... but your call. A lot of brides on this forum said they were given the extra hour free. I think it depends on how busy the hotel, and stuff...

 

Hope this helps.

The standard length is 3 hours.  You can extend it to 4 hours but it will cost you - I believe you have to pay the DJ (if you have one) for an extra hour and there is a per person fee for the waiters to keep bringing the drinks.

 

The timing for my wedding day:

Ceremony 4:30 to 5:00 pm

Cocktail hour 5:30 to 6:30 pm

Reception 6:30 to 9:30pm

 

The reception starting at 6:30pm seemed early to me, but considering that the official time for sun set on my wedding day was ~5:05pm, it was plenty dark and had the night time feel.

Just about at the 4 month mark, cannot believe how the time has flown, still have so much to do, and I thought I was ahead of the game

I know! Congratulations!! Time will fly. I am freaking out because we hit 6 months, but even worse, we are buying a house in 4 months. So i am overwhelmed with both. Have you gotten forms from either Claudia or Cecilia with 'options'?

 

I am trying to figure out what exactly i have to figure out. I know that sounds redundant but I feel a bit lost at the moment!!

 

Thanks..
