Review of my Catholic Wedding - Dec. 6, 2008 Iberostar Paraiso del Mar

Hi All,

 

For some reason, I am unable to insert pictures into my replies

However, I think I might have something even better. My husband's sister put together two short videos (ceremony and reception) on Youtube. To find it, just type in "jack and anna's wedding" and the first two videos that come up are from our wedding in Riviera Maya.

 

If you have any questions, pleaset let me know.

Thank you so much for the info! I am going to look at your video. I am getting married there in November 2009. I am getting very anxious to get everything ready! Did you get married at the gazebo or on the beach? How were your flowers?

 

Did the DJ have music you wanted for the first dance? Father/Daughter?

Anna,

 

Thanks for the video info! You looked stunning, I'm so glad they did a good job on your hair, it gives me hope that they won't screw mine up lol.

 

I have a question for you about the resort, did they have any sort of 24 hour snack bar/lounge kind of thing? My FI and I like to stay up pretty late, so we were wondering if there'd be a place open in the wee hours to go grab a bite.

Kathy,

 

No problem.

Yes, the resort has a snack area (pizza, fries, nachos) that is open throughout the night. It is located in the main buffet restaurant.

Awesome! FI will be very pleased to hear this!! Thank you!

Hi,

We were married in the resort's chapel.
The flowers were great! I had roses for the bouquets and they looked awesome. I told the WC how many roses to use in each bouquet and there were no extra charges for "fuller" ones.

The DJ had his own music. Pretty good selection, but we brought our first dance song (because we didn't want to count on anyone for this). The DJ does not speak much English. Our friend who speaks Spanish did most of the communicating with the DJ. One of our friends did all the announcing (walking in, first dance, etc.) so if you are thinking of hiring the DJ, its a good idea to delegate this task to someone.

Thank you so much!
