Hi Ladies- I'm curious what the wedding day itinerary looks like. Our ceremony is at 3:00pm. Should I assume that the cocktail hour starts at 4:00, and the reception at 5:00? I'm wondering if a 4-hour photography package (2:00 to 6:00pm) will be sufficient to capture at least a bit of the reception dinner. Thanks

I think that is up to you. My was supposed to be on the same time line as you and I was going to get my photographer for a little longer. My thought was I wanted a lot of pictures of us all over ther resort and with my family and a lot of the girls said that they walked in late to the cocktail hour. I would also assume that your guests will not immediately go to the reception at 5 pm...some might still be hanging out where your cocktail hour is...just my 2 cents

Where are your bridesmaid dresses from? They are gorgeous! It is hard to find the right blue to go with the ocean!!!

This is what I am planning....my ceremony is supposed to start at 4pm after that I will be taking pics with my guests, family and then some solo shots of me and my FI around the hotel. My photographer said to block about 1-1.5 hours for the pics, so my cocktail hour will start around 6 or 6:30 (i want to go to it which is why i am starting it late) and then the reception at 7 or 7:30. As for your photography package, that is completely up to you. I have a full day package so I don't need to worry so much about the time.

Girls...i need some help!! We are planning our reception and we are going to have 42 guests estimated at this time. We can't afford to pay the extra $55-65 per extra person above 20 and were wondering if you guys had any suggestions on what we can do to eliminate costs!!?? We might want to include that in some of our reception entertainment...any suggestions, thoughts or rebuttles?

Thanks ladies...this has been so helpful!!

Sdtooley-

 

Just saw the slideshow!!! Absolutely B-E-A-UTIFUL!!! Looks like you guys had a blast!! So happy for you!!

This makes me feel better about choosing Tulum over the new resort (Riviera Cancun)!!

I would take money away from your flowers and/or decorations. Flowers are sooo expensive. I am thinking about taking my own silk flowers because of the bouquet costs. You can also take your own table linen, chair decorations etc. Those are my thoughts for keeping the costs down

 

I have a question about costs too. Has anyone talked to their WC about negotiating prices/haggling? I ask because we want to book the ultimate package but we aren't having a legal ceremony so I want to replace those costs with a few upgrades. I want to haggle my way through all the costs! hehehehe.... If anyone has had an experience with this I would love to hear it!
