Does anyone who was married at DRC have pics of their wedding cake?

[lilly129]

yep - I think its 4 tables!

Here is a pic of the buffet from my wedding...sorry it's not a great shot of the whole buffet, but you can kind of get an idea. There was also another station off to the side of this one where there was another table...

 

 

And here is a pic of my wedding cake. This is the one that came with the package... I did absolutely no upgrade. I am so glad I didn't worry about the cake at all because nobody even ate it! There were great desserts on the buffet and everyone was pretty full from the cocktail hour and dinner...

Ohh Laura - I have a question for you! So I'm looking at your set up and I see the buffet set up along the back, and the tables in front and the dj in the back corner next to the cake...

Where was your dance floor? Was it in the middle of the deck or off to a side?

I'm trying to remember the configuration I saw when I was down there and for the life of me I can't remember!

Thanks!

The dance floor was in front of the DJ. The bar was next to the DJ (on the opposite side of the DJ as the buffet table). And we walked in from that side too.

Do we have to buy those overlays or do they provide

[t1219]

Laura,

 

Thank you for all of your feedback from your wedding!! Has been very helpful! Another question. How long did the dj play for you? Was it long enough and could you have him stay longer if you wished?

Thanks so much Laura for the pics of your tables! How many did you have? I just ordered overlays and ordered 5 to be safe because the other pic showed 4 buffet tables. What do you think?

They provide the white linens and I believe they have some plain colors . I just ordered mine from weddinglinensdirect.com I know a bunch of people used them. They have so many different colors to choose from. The overlays were only a few dollars. I believe at the resort they charge you $25 per table to just put on an overlay. That is ridiculous! I would rather spend $4! LOL

We haven't officially booked her yet, but I am planning to use DecoCancun also! I believe there will be a resort fee to bring her in. Assuming they only charge for Ana (from DecoCancun), I think the fee is around $80. I'd make sure - because they might charge for each person she brings with her to help set up. She might even know the answer to that. If you find out, could you let me know?
