Hi there! I get married Feb 16th!

 

I am doing the ceremony at the white gazebo and the reception in the ballroom. I can't wait! I'm still drying to nail down my colors....I wanted something with plum, but now I'm not so sure. Yikes but fun!

I think you are thinking of Dreams Cancun.  There is no white gazebo at Dreams Riviera Cancun.  They are different resorts.

Does anyone know if the front desk will give me the room numbers to everyone in my party? I wanna be able to find people. Leaving on tues for my wedding on Friday. Still not having great feedback from Lorena.

I am not sure but try emailing Eva instead.  Her email address was posted just a few pages back.  She's been very receptive to me!

What prices were all of you quoted for a dance floor?  I am so frustrated since I have gotten a bunch of different prices from Lorena and the DJ.

 

 

Per the wedding guide: Dance Floor for 50 people (Wood) $780

 

Per Lorena’s: “Lighted dance floor $800usd  + taxâ€

 

Per AVI: “the pricing for the Illuminated dance floor to fit your wedding, it will be for $700 dollarsâ€

 

Per Lorena: “Actually for that price ($300usd + tax p/hour) is included the wood dance floor, the props and 2 shots of the cold fireworks.â€

 

Per Lorena: “The cost for the lighted dance floor is $ 580 usd + tax.. and yes, the sound system for the ceremony is separate to the Dj’s service.â€

 

I don’t understand how the original difference between the cost of the wooden dance floor ($780) and the lighted dance floor ($800) was only $20, but now I am being told the wooden floor is included and to upgrade to the lighted floor it would be a difference of $580. 

 

So frustrating!!

I am trying to figure out our times for the wedding.  I was thinking:

ceremony: 5

cocktail: 6:30 reception: 7:30-10:30   I was considering bumping back the cocktails to 6:30 instead of 6 to allow us more time for pictures and hopefully we would be able to actually make it to the cocktail hour to spend time with our guests and enjoy it too.  I know there would be a gap in time for the guests but we were thinking they could go freshen up or head to the lobby bar.  Thoughts?

I have 12 new white lanterns, if anyone is interested I can sell they at discount.

 

 

Can you send pictures of the lanterns to kariane.combs@gmail.com?  Thanks!

I am just curious as to how many songs people are picking for the seating?  If they are doing any others for the paper signing or sand ceremony?  I guess just what is everyones plans for music before, during and after the ceremony?

Thanks for the help!
