Welcome to the forum Tiffiney.

 

My daughter got married at the Riu Vallarta in May of 2008 and you can read my review here http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t21027

 

If you have any specific questions ask away and I might be able to help you out, or one of the other girls who plan to get married there may be able to help.

Wow Helen Thank you so much your review was very helpful.. Everyone looked wonderful.

One question how long did the ceremony and reception last?

You're welcome!

By the way, I checked out the RIU Vallarta website, and it looks like a really fabulous venue.

Great choice!

Best wishes,
Tod

Welcome to the forum!!

It's kind of hard to remember because I wasn't wearing a watch so all times are approximate

I would say the ceremony was 1/2 hour at the most. That would include the time spent signing the documents. Then we did photos with the resort photographer for about another 1/2 hour.

We were all very hot and had some time to kill so we all went and sat in the lobby bar and waited for the reception dinner to start. I think we were in the bar for a couple of hours?

The reception dinner was at the Flamingo restaurant by the beach. It was about 2.5 hours/3 hours with speeches. I actually do have video of the wedding done by the resort but I don't know how to post it to the internet.

Then we had rented the pool bar for some dancing and drinks. I think we went there around 8:30/9pm? We didn't stay there long. We were all very hot and tired. We used an iPOD with a portable speaker system for the music (Altec speaker system maybe?).

Let me know if you need more information.

Hey Tiffiney... to the forum and CONGRATS!!!

Thank you so much I'm so excited.......
