Gran Bahia Principe Akumal/Tulum/Coba - POST HERE!

You bring up a very good point... I didn't think about that. How much did your walkie-talkies cost? They worked well? Did each room have one and if so did you provide them?

Hello! My wedding date is on June 9th 2010 at the Tulum site. I'm thinking of having a pool side reception after the ceremony, not sure if that's a good idea yet so I really want some inputs! Do you think it's going to be too hot to stay outside for another hour or 2 after the ceremony? Is the pool side reception actually a good idea? or people just go directly to dinner reception right after the ceremony?

 

Thanks in advance, I'd really appreciated your help!!!

That's an awesome idea!! How well did the walkie-talkie worked within the resort?

 

My wedding is just 3 days after yours also at the Tulum location!! I have decided to have the poolside reception/dance. Our ceremony is at 4 and then dinner is at 6:30. Between the 2 I'm just going to direct people to have some drinks at the lobby bar while we finish up with pictures. Our dance doesn't start until 8:00 so I'm hoping it's cooled off a bit by then! Hopefully the sun will be setting and that should cool it off. I agree that keeping people out in the hot sun for hours while dressed up is probably not the best idea! What time of day is your ceremony scheduled? Did you schedule a dinner time/location yet? I think those 2 things will have to factor in on your decision...

Hi swankster77! Thanks for your suggestion, I have to agree it is a better arrangement to plan the poolside reception after the dinner! I'm sure there will be a lot less people at the pool at that time! So are you planning on going to the club/disco after the reception as well?

 

When do you arrive? My ceremony is at 4pm at the Tulum, maybe you can come take a quick look and have an idea on how your wedding going to look like!

 

Hello fellow Bahia brides,

 

We are getting married at Bahia on July 21, 2010. I just wanted to say that this forum has been SO helpful and I really appreciate all of you sharing your information and experiences with the rest of us! I will be sure to do the same.

 

For those of you that are wondering about photographers, I emailed Jazmin who then put me in touch with the resort photographer. Her name was Ru, and she advised me that they do not allow outside photographers on the resort. I've looked into bringing our own photographer down there with us, but it seems to be pretty expensive - hopefully the resort photographer is good....

Hi, the time is clicking and my stress level is getting higher and higher.....

 

I have a relatively small group of 25-29 people only, would that be kind of weird to do a pool side reception after dinner? And does it really worth hiring a DJ for that?

We get there a day before your big day on the 8th... thanks for the offer... I just might take you up on that

I also have 29 people... I think the poolside reception will be perfect for that amount of people!! We hired DJ Bijan... he's cheaper than the resort DJ so if you want his info let me know.
