I cant log onto his site, and I think I have the pictures on my comp. at home... but I am sure if you check out http://doremixx.com/ he has pictures of what cold fireworks look like, but think very large sparklers coming from the ground and about 4 - 5 feet high. You get two of them.

Happy planning!

Any 2011 brides out there getting prices yet? I am having difficulty with the group travel. i got a quote directly from DRC - but they said for flight contact a vendor - I have done so but the prices I am getting are higher than what I can find on-line - any suggestions for help in getting good pricing here for my guests?

You have to go thru Ana / Resort, there are no individual quotes from DJ's. Its USD 300 + tax? for an hour for a DJ, DRC uses Doremixx and Mannia as their preferred vendors.

I know my family members were hoping to swim at night... is this not allowed

Whoa! That's crazy! I did not see a single armed individual the entire time there and we walked around the resort at 2am with no problems...although I did not go to the beach at 2am.

As for the beach bar - I went down at 5:30 to see what the beach looked like and we had a few drinks until we left at 6:30 - but there were still people sitting in the swings. I don't remember seeing it open the first night we were there when we went for dinner at 8pm. If that helps any...

I believe it was around $1250 for the 50 person catamaran for 3 hours and transportation to and from the resort. We had originally thought about going with the 40 person boat. There was only 35 of us, but we wanted to make sure everyone was comfortable and there was room for everyone to sit and/or walk around. I'm happy with our choice, though I'm sure the smaller one would have been just fine.

You might be able to find something different for transportation but I felt more comfortable going with the same company...this way if anything happened, I was not held responsible.

The price of the catamaran also included all you can drink and some dry snacks. I would remind your guests to grab something to eat prior to the cruise as the snacks don't go far. The sandwhiches at the coffee shop worked perfect for this! You could even have people bring a sandwhich with them, if they wanted.

The person that I had been emailing regarding my reservations was VERY helpful and responsive to my emails. His name is Jose and his contact info is:

info@marinacancun.com

I highly recommend contacting him if you are interested in this.
