sannjn-can you tell us what location you had your reception at? Also how many people did you have?

[Sannjn]

You're Welcome...glad I could help!

We had 35 guests (counting my husband and I) and also a 4 year old and 2 infants.

I originally wanted our reception to be at El Patio (each day their was a wedding and their reception was at El Patio and it looked nice). It is nice set up and away from other guests. BUT there was a business conference going on the same day as our wedding so we couldn't get that area. But...no big deal...what are you gonna do?

So they set up our tables next the the pool and one of the bars. At first I was thinking 'by the pool? Really?' because it gets kinda busy during the day...but around dinner time everyone is eating and drinking...not swimming. So it was a beautiful set up and no other guests were even around...just us. And there were waiters asking for our drinks and bringing out our food. And the food was pretty good!

We also rented sound equipment so we plugged in our ipod and they also had a microphone attached. So during dinner people stood up, cut the music and gave a toast with the microphone. Then when we wanted everyone's attention to hand out 'Thank you' gifts to our parents and friends who helped with wedding prepping, cut the cake and toss the garter/bouquet my husband and I went and grabbed the microphone and told everyone ourselves (instead of a DJ). It didn't matter, everyone there was our closest family and friends.

Hello Ladies!
I have my official date at DT..June 20, 2009, at 6 p.m!! So excited!!!!

I am wondering about the quality of the dj and or sound system...this is very important to me to have a clear, farily loud sound system. Can anyone give me any insight or suggesitons as to what to rent and or use? We are planning on the seaside grill, but if the occupancy is too high then we will be using the ballroom. Please let me know your thoughts when you get a chance!

Thanks
Lonna

The sound system for the ceremony was very clear (it's just one big speaker) and I think it's the same one for the reception, so you should be okay.

Okay ladies, the new thread is ready!!!

http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t25547

For those who don't know what this is about, I suggested this last month (around page 80 or 90) and got overwhelming support for the idea of a new thread with all the most important and recent information continuously updated at the beginning of the thread.

So we can let this one die now, unless people want to answer a previous question, but for new questions let's post them in the new thread. Hopefully in the next couple days we can completely let this one die

hum...let this one die ? I am sure futur tulum brides will still enjoy reading the 1000's of messages that were written here ! ! When I look back (before my wedding) I just loved to read anything about this resort ! !

[SunBride]

well most people said it was getting way too long and too hard to find the information we were looking for. We were getting the same questions over and over.

I asked others what they thought of a new thread continuously updated with info at the beginning and they all agreed (well the dozen or so people who responded).

Don't forget that when you planned your wedding, the thread had just started and there were way less brides. Now this thread has become overwhelming. I don't think any new brides actually take the time to read all 1000s posts.

Even if this one "dies", i.e. falls to the back pages of the forum, it will still always be here and brides can come look through it if they want (I provided the link in the new thread).

I'm having a heart attack, where is the thread? I tried and it says there's nothing?

[SunBride]
