Dreams Riviera Cancun - Brides post here (new thread)

Any recommendations for live streaming vendors in Cancun?  We'd like to stream our wedding ceremony live.

@@edeaton - Are you bringing sparklers or purchasing them through the resort?

As far as the DJ, (from my understanding of the budget planner) if you hire the DJ, the equipment is included. But, there is an option to rent the equipment (speakers, hook up, etc) to play your own music off an iPod/iPhone/etc (technician included).

I was going to use the resorts sparklers.

In reference to the live streaming, I would love to know as well. My fiancés dad is having major passport problems and may not get to go. I'm so worried!! Live streaming would help a lot. Plus I'm thinking a bigger legal ceremony before we leave so he doesn't feel left out.

@@edeaton - I thought I saw on the budget planner that they do offer streaming?

@Mention-I totally wasn't reading that budget planner because it was in Spanish.  I figured out how to make it in English  .  THAT ANSWERED A TON OF MY QUESTIONS!!!!  I received email from DJ yesterday and he mentioned he provided dance floor with his package.  That makes a lot more sense for $300/hour.  I love the light up dance floor idea.  Did any of you realize that was a part of his services?  So for the past and future brides, did you rent sound system for $180 for wedding ceremony and hire DJ for reception? 

I know in the past you could switch cocktail hour for more people at reception dinner.  Is that still true?  Also has anyone looked into the Caribbean trio instead of Mexican trio?  It's included in Ultimate package. 

Also I have 6 bridesmaids so that's $100/bouquet=$600.  That seems crazy to me.  Has anyone thought of an alternative?  I asked if we could bring our own but not sure if I want flowers that might not match and that look fake.

@@edeaton - We can no longer 'exchange' services... which is a huge bummer....

[edeaton]

and I'm wrong about DJ.....dance floor is extra .  I have to figure some ways to cut cost!

@@edeaton - the links catalog that David sent me no longer works... do you have the recent one that I can see?

[edeaton]

I don't think I ever received that catalog.  Obviously I'm lost to a lot of things they haven't sent me.  What all did it include and I'll go back and see if I might have it?

[pddcmc]

It had links to a dropbox with photos of flower options, centerpieces, etc
