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

HereFishie, did you have a poolside reception just using your ipod?

This has been an issue that a lot of people have talked about, but Jazmin insists that there is no way to use your ipod for the poolside as the resort doesn't have a sound system for us to use. She said I would have to hire the DJ and then he can just play my ipod.

Obviously, not the greatest option... If I am making the playlist I'd rather not pay extra for him to hit "play".

I'm getting married at the Tulum Gazebo, with dinner at Tequila, followed by a poolside reception on July 7th, 2010.

We paid to do the private poolside one which was great fun!   Re: Cocktail hour I'm not sure if its for all weddings or only certain ceremony types, it should say I think in the documents they sent you when you chose the type of ceremony you wanted. Its directly after the ceremony (it was free for us) and its just toasting. They set up a table and have a couple of bottles of champagne for right after the ceremony so you can do toasts/pictures before you move over to the dinner location. It's a time filler mostly

Question to all you ladies out there?? What's your take on planning excursions and such for people attending your wedding? I hadn't really planned on doing much along those lines and just a rehearsal dinner for the wedding party and our parents. I thought I would just let people relax and do what they wanted at their own pace, but now I’m seeing all that everyone else is doing and starting to think that I am not doing enough!

We didn't plan any excursions for our guests. It was busy enough as it was and we wanted people to feel that it was their vacation, with a wedding thrown in... not the other way around

Hi Ladies, I have just had an email from Claudia Rodriguez to say that the Gran Bahia have changed their policy & outside vendors will now be charged $1000 to to into the resort!!!!!!! They only want people to use their own photographer? Has anyone else seen this...I just read Erica's review & she had Eric??

Have any of you had the resort photographer?

OK ladies sorry it took so long. We are in the process of moving to a new community. My review is not long but I think it covers most of it. Feel free to ask questions!
