  1. We are actually getting married at the RIU Santa Fe on January 21, 2010. I'm not sure why people would tell you that nobody gets married in January? That's just silly if you ask me. I suggest you viewing another thread on the "RIU Santa Fe Brides - Post here!" You'll get tons of information from previous brides who got married there as well as reviews. Hope this helps!

I am considering getting married there early next year but am a little nervous since the hotel is so new and the WC has not done any weddings there yet for me to judge whether she is any good. I was just in Cabo over MLK holiday weekend, but we did not see anybody getting married. The WC we talked to said that nobody gets married in Jan. there. The wedding season apparently starts in Feb. Is there a reason why people don't get married in Jan. there? I checked the average weather for both Jan. and Feb. and they appear to be about the same. I would like to get married the Saturday of the Presiden't Day holiday weekend next year in February, but it falls on Valentine's Day. I don't have anything against getting married on Valentine's Day other than the fact that there will be 50 other couples getting married on that day, which I would like to avoid if possible, which is why I am considering January. Is there any specific reason why people don't get married in January in Cabo that I don't know about? Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Cecilia
  2. PS, isn't this the grrrrrrrreatest site ever for brides to be?!?! hehe
  3. That's awesome!!! Sounds like some great goodies! How crazy would that be if we bumped into each other there! LOL.. There's about 50 guests booked and more maybe later on - after we send our invites! Most of our guests are staying from Jan. 18th - 25th for a week and my FI and I will be staying for another extra week. Hmm... as for my OOT bags, we're not entirely sure yet, we definitely want to include a welcome book, chapstick, cards, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, medicine as well and some candy...I'll probably think of more stuff as we come along... Have you decided on your favors yet?
  4. Hello Melette! Thanks for posting that link. Those look like they will be great to use! Looks like we'll be getting married the same day - just at different resorts:) Any ideas on what you put in your OOT bags?
  5. Hello, Do you have some pictures that you can post? Quote: Originally Posted by HpyBride You have nothing to worry about... she's amazing!

You won't be disappointed. I'll post pictures as soon as possible.
  6. Hello, Is this link that you posted the actual link to the RIU Santa Fe's Resort Photographer? Reason I ask is because I asked Erika (Wedding Coordinator) if there was a website and she said no so I just wanted to confirm. If it is the case, they do a pretty good job:) Quote: Originally Posted by abbygirl Great news ladies!!!!! I received the new photographers link to his website....amazing pictures!! It appears this change has happened for the best I am so excited!!!!! I know, the next request is for the link....so, here it is: http://web.mac.com/cabophotography ENJOY!!

Absolutely tranquil, relaxing and gorgeous! No children are allowed at this resort. That was an AWESOME review MayBride! Super helpful and more so that you've made us lean our decision more towards going with the English patio instead! I can't wait to see your beautiful photos!

I'm really glad that everything is working out for you even though it's not what was originally planned. You're so positive and that's awesome! You will be a beautiful bride... all best wishes!

Not to mention we had paid a big deposit on our photographer already! lol. It all worked out. Regarding my TA, she's either off today or works this afternoon so we're waiting on that. I actually attempting to call Sunquest directly but customer service told me that I needed to speak with my TA and that this was information that she "wasn't allowed" to say. WTH? I'll let you know when I know. I can't find anything online. Carly, what exactly did they say?? I feel so bad for you, that sucks!!! I'm really glad it worked out for you. Let's just hope what she told me is in fact accurate. I'm definitely going to follow up a few times to be sure. I'm still waiting for her to respond to my last e-mail I sent to her just very recently. What a gong show that must have been been for you guys having to deal with that. It's a good thing that I haven't put any deposits for photographers yet. Can I ask who you booked with? We have a few in mind if we don't go with the hotel photographer. I'm really anxious to find out the outcome of Sunquest as well.. I guess we'll just wait and see!
  10. That's awesome that it worked out to be cheaper!

We're not flying till January so I shouldn't worry but like you said, I'm not sure why there would be any cancelled flights.. hmm..? I can't wait to hear what your TA has to say.
  12. Yes, hopefully so! I will confirm that again with her but regardless, she has to honour it because I saved the e-mail! Lol (don't we all?) haha.. Good luck to you and all the best at your wedding!

I'm booked with Sunquest, we booked back in January and apparently they are not flying to Mexico until November 2nd. So stupid, can't believe it! So, we are having now to book our flight and hotel seperately, probably have to fly to the States and then to Cabo. If you haven't heard anything yet, you might want to call your travel agent and check! We are getting married October 17th, anything after November 2nd should be fine! Carly Aww, that's totally unfortunate. The good thing is that you guys still get to fly to Mexico at least! We don't get married till January 21, 2010 but we are also flying with Sunquest. I'm really surprised they cancelled. Hope everything works out for you!!!
