Maybe you can rent one for way cheaper, which is the case I found out with the Del Mar! Is the same florist doing your arch as recep flowers. He gave me a lot higher price for arch and to decor gazebo than resort.

I figured after the ceremony (5:30ish) the guests can go to the lobby bar or the beach bar and have a drink or two (while we are getting pictures taken) until the reception begins at 6:30. My ceremony is also at five. I was told cocktail hr 6-7 and appet additional cost pp. just cocktail for open bar 6pp and with food 12pp from Gabriella

for anyone that has had recep at tropical. I was wondering how they serve dinner , courses?? how long into rec. Reason is I am trying to decide if I should have food at cocktail hr. they gave that as a option. any thoughts??

Great job! Is everyone getting luggage tags from Michaels, mine don't have. I can't find anywhere. HELP. Are those business cards from vista? Do you make two and put them back to back. Sorry-I'm with stupid

Looks great. Been thinking about this. Any ideas on what you guys are saying. giving toast .. speech??

was this a toast at rec? who made toast? I was looking for something diff that I could do- thank you/toast at rec. I do drink tec, it would be perfect.. but what could I say

all great ideas. Has anyone seen water globes at things remembered. They also play music- wind up from bottom. Many diff ones and can have engraved. Check them out and tell me what you think.

I'm using DJ Bob for the reception, so I figured I'd just play tropical music during the cocktail hour. Just curious, what did you guys do? I might get the mariachi instead, but of course that's more money! That what I was planning, I read on past review they are a lot of fun. I was wondering about violinist for ceremony. Has anyone had or heard But, can't do both. They are expensive 350/hr. CRAZY

We rented the Tropical Restaurant for 7pm and are doing an hour of cocktails and apps starting at 6pm. We hired DJ bob for the night and I also am having an outside photographer coming in- I'm using Claudia Rodriguez Photographer. If anyone has questions please let me know. As soon as we return I will post a review. The count down is on! What are you planning for guests between time ceremony over and cocktail hr? Mine is scheduled for 420, was thinking of moving to 5. WC said ceremony takes 15-20 min max. Any past brides have thoughts on this? Do they usually start on time? For tropical, is it open bar entire night? I have asked several times and no answer. Wondering if we have to give list for alcohol- what wil they have?

wait, your picky?? LUCKY FOR US

Katia is located out of cancun so she probably lives in the area which worked out good for Ilka and me... I just have to pay for her bus ride out to Riviera Maya on friday and than her taxi to the hotel on Saturday. your always one step ahead of me- which isn't to hard!!! I was researching this and found thread.
