Hi Can I ask, how many songs do we need to pick for the wedding ceremony? I am thinking: 1 for walking down the isle 1 for signing the register and 1 for walking back up the isle Do I need to pick any more? Do I also need to pick a selection of songs whilst my guests are waiting for me to arrive? If so how many? Thanks

Hi Christina276, which one of the $12.00 meals did you go for? Was it any good? We were gonna go for the $36 one but then felt it is an all inclusive and if guests get hungry later they can just go to one of the restaurants. thanks

Our Travel Agent managed to get us a free upgrade to a casita suite. We have also been informed by Karisma that we will get $200 credit per room that can be used in any facility in the hotel i.e. water sports, spa. Plus we are getting $500 off any off any additional wedding purchases. We will order 10 torches now......did you order any beach candles, if so how many? Thanks for answering all my dumb questions!!!

we are doing maracas and putting them on the table and getting sombreros to hang on the back of the chairs....totally keeping in with the mexican theme.

I have just responded to Valerie to say we have picked the presidential gazebo for our ceremony and a private event dinner party in tucanes for our evening reception . We have asked for the pink isle runner with rose petals and chair with covers and pink bows. I will probably just have undressed chairs for the reception, I have not decided yet. I have also asked for mexican wedding photos Natalieann you said your wedding package was 980 for 3 hrs but I have been quoted 880 for 2 hours or 1250 for 3 hours. That is a big jump in price!! for tucanes, I would like to get tiki torches and beach candles, how many would you recommond that I get and where would I put them? Thanks

I have booked my wedding/holiday through thomas cook which is a travel agent in the UK. We getting married on 30th June - our 10 yr anniversary :) I think it is a bit rip off that they dont allow you to use the chair coverings and bows for the reception that you paid for during the ceremony... Thanks for the info for the meal...I think we will go with the $36 one. I am not too keen on the first course, do you think they would allow you to change it at no extra cost? I think I will email Valerie to double check. I am so excited cant wait...less than 15 weeks to go...i know it will just fly in

ah natalie ann - werent you an azul five beach who was also moved like 2 days before your wedding?? I remember your photos...they were done by mexican wedding photos werent they? After seeing your photos that is who we are going with and I feel they are reasonably priced. What photo package did you go for? We were thinking of going for the $880 for 2 hours. I think we will end up having the reception in Tuscanes and get a few tiki torches and those small candles....think it wil look lovely. What did you do for a meal? We were thinking of doing $36 set menu...have you heard if the food on these set menus are any good?? thanks

I am an Azul Fives bride who has been moved to the el dorado royale. The wedding reviews at this hotel are amazing and I cant wait till its my turn!!! I hope some of you can answer a few questions for me. I would like to get chairs with white chair cover and pink bow for the my wedding ceremony, will these chairs be moved to my reception or do I need to pay again for the chair covers and bows? I would like to have my reception on the beach, i have 20 guests, is this possible? if so where can I have it and what is it like? I am getting married in June, I take it will still be hot enough in the evening? Failing the beach reception I think I like the look of Tucanes, can you tell me if this is private? I will probably have a billion other questions but thats all I have at the moment. Thanks for your help!!!

I was considering moving to the secrets maroma for my wedding as I was an Azul Fives bride who needed to move to another hotel....I am decided to stick with Karisma and move to the Eldorado Royale....wanted to thank you all for your help. Even though I am moving to the EDR for my wedding, I still love this hotel so much that I am planning to move to this hotel on my 3rd week instead of the hotel we have already booked (The royal cancun). Hope everyone has a fab wedding!!

Hi has any of the brides been moved yet? what hotel have you been allocated to and how long did it take for karimsa to get back to you? i havent been informed yet

Hi Simistar....that sounds like a good idea I think that could look really pretty with lights twisted round them I like the idea of having a bbq as food for the wedding reception so if we have our set up where you are suggesting then it is likely they will allow me to have one....i am not sure if the bbq would be extra or if that would be included in the price of the wedding. unfortunately I cannot afford an outside wedding planner which is why I am counting on this forum to help me :) Again thanks for your help.

Hi Simistar thanks for your reply - its been very very helpful. I need to speak to the hubby-to-be and get his opinion.....he normally leaves it up to me anyway and just goes wiht whatever I say!! We might end up doing what you done or having a reception by the beach bar. Thanks again for the info...much appreciated

Hi Natalie Ann - just looking at your photos and they look amazing...can I ask what photographer you used?? thanks

Thanks D&ESept2009, Wot hotel are you considering moving to? I am so fed up with Karisma now and dont think I want to stay with them. What they are offering us as compensation I dont think is good enough. We are spending thousands of pounds on that wedding and we have a few guests already booked up and that is the best they can do!?!?! We have been looking at a few hotels and I think we will probably move to Secrets Maroma.

Hi Kits55 I know exactly wot you mean!! I keep changing my mind, I am so indecisive!! The reason I am getting so stressed out is because we were meant to be getting married in the azul fives (took us about 3 months to pick this place) then found out on friday that it will not open in time for our wedding (getting married in June) I have emailed Cecilia to ask if this sort of set up can be done at the maroma and I am waiting to hear back. I will post her response on here once she responds. When are you getting married in the maroma? Are you having the ceremony and the reception on the beach?
