Dreams Riviera Cancun - Brides post here (new thread)

Hi Soon2bMrsLozada!

 

Thank you, I loved how the orange looked against the blue as well!

 

1. For the reception I believe I chose option one, it had martini shrimp cocktail, mushroom soup, a salmon pastry puff and a choice of chicken or beef, I recommend it. Everyone sounded like they liked it! I did switch out the dessert though for the chocolate option (I want to say it was supposed to come with option 3). It was really delicious!

2. Yep, I got the flowers through the hotel. I sent pictures of what I wanted and explained what colored flowers I wanted. They did a really good job! Like I mentioned in my review, the only thing I did not really like were the boutonnieres (but I didn't think to send a picture so that is my fault).

3. Yes, I also got the lanterns through the hotel. I believe they were $10 a lantern. I'm not sure what outside venders cost but I just found it easier to do everything through the resort.

 

Let me know if you have any more questions :-)

Hi ajuce:

 

I know this is mentioned somewhere but I can't seem to find it.  But did you order your linens from wedding linens direct, and what size did you order for your round tables.  Ana sent me an email saying they are 2.2 meters but then that makes it about 86".  I'm a little confused on what size to order for overlays so they look nice and neat.  Thanks.

Chula,

 

Is there a legal reason that you had to do it a year before?  Or did you just want to?  Thanks!

We did it this way to avoid blood work/marriage cert translation and all the legal leg work that needs to be done. So we are having a symbolic wedding instead.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
