Catalonia Riviera Maya

the limit is 20 people for having a reception in one of the restaurants. We were able to squeeze in a few extra people. Otherwise your reception would be in one of the buffet restaurants.

I was very happy with our reception in the mexican restaurant. having the reception in the buffet restaurant wouldn't be idea, but it would work. The main cons are that you have to serve yourself and it's open air so it's a little muggy.

Thanks for the info ladies, this helps greatly. I will probably go with the private reception so we can have entertainment for our guests as well. Speaking of entertainment, the search is on for some good performers in Mexico. Any suggestions?

Hello ladies,

My husband and I were married at the Catalonia Riviera Maya last November. If you're interested in pictures, please check out the photo album on our website at Mike and Liana's Page. We booked a private reception for our group of 18 guests at the Pure Chill Out Bar and it was well worth the extra money. For our group of 18, we had 5 staff waiting on us. The food was great (and there was way too much) and it was nice to be right on the beach. We used Erick Rodriguez from Claudia Rodriguez Wedding Photography and he did an amazing job. I don't know if Cora is still working at the resort but she did a fabulous job of organizing our wedding. She's a real sweetheart and was very quick to respond to any of our requests. I was fully expecting some hiccups with having planned everything from home but I was surprised that everything went so smoothly. We're heading back to the CRM in a few weeks just to kick back and relive the beautiful memories.

Happy planning!

Liana
