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

honestly...just go to one of the bars with live music! they take requests and seem very accommodating to wedding parties. save some money & still have fun.

i have to say one of the best parts of the night was just ending up at the daiquiri bar....unplanned and having the band play for us.

Interesting... Jazmin told me they did not offer a sound system for an iPod!

I'm positive that's what she told me...I have her emails at home...I'll check and let you know for sure.

The DJ you were planning on using....how does that all work?? Does he bring all his own equipment and stuff for that price?? And you go over what music that you want?? I’m thinking that might be the better way to go now

And how do you arrange that all with Jazmin/Karla??

I got the 'ok' from Jazmin before booking Bijan.. but before that he assured me he'd worked with Jazmin before and that it wouldn't be a problem.

I contacted Bijan via email. He wrote back asking a few questions. I responded and then he was able to give me a quote. After we agreed to the cost/services he sent me a paypal invoice for $100 deposit. The rest is due the day of the service. He recently sent me a questionnaire asking for special requests (microphone, mc service, music requests - wants me to give him a list of 20 songs so he can get a feel for the type of music i want, etc). He also said he uses a laptop, nice sound system, and some lights. he said he has a more elaborate light set but it's overkill for the poolside reception and requires additional fees.

Trish you've got to be kidding me!! I wonder if the wrist corsage costs more than a regular one? The price list i have says $16, $24, $50... I was hoping mine would be the least expensive (called 'tropical'). I'm just going with simple gerbera daisy's and lily's. I really can't spend that much on corsages!! Yikes!

Swankster...you are the best!!!! I think I'm going to request a quote and see what happens from there but I am REALLY leaning towards using him...everything sounds great and even if I have to pay 300 for 2 hours it's still cheaper and I'm getting more them having the resort set me up some speakers and having my ipod playing!! Off to email Jazmin now!! I'll keep you posted! Thanks!!!

A quick pic... we just got married last night!!

 

Will have a review in a couple days

 

Congrats! Can't wait to hear all about it!!

for all of you getting a Dj off site, make sure that you let your wedding coordinator know.. they weren't going to let me use DJ bob at one point cause they are trying to go towards no outside vendors.
