P.S. with the 2010 prices we were able to keep it just under 5,000 with 12 extra ppl for cocktail hour and the silver menu...this isn't including the dj though...fyi...there was a 150 dollar fee for set up since I had brought so many decorations and lanterns to be hung, but they did everything just the way I wanted! there was also a 150 dollar fee for set up for more than 20 guests on top of the extra you are already paying for each person which was stupid in my opinion! there was other ridiculous stuff like that, but we also paid just undder 3000 for our week trip there including flight, but we recieved money back through our travel agent who booked with continental and every person of our wedding party that booked through her we recieved 100 bucks or something like that:)

You know I wish I could tell you, but actually Natalia hooked us up with the dj they contract with through the resort and I totally relied on her the DAY OF!! I have no idea what his name was or anything, but he brought extra lighting which was really helpful even with all my lit up lanterns I brought! He also had every song we wanted for the special dances, and they were pretty unique. He played top 20's and some oldygoodys for our parents. Email natalia and she would know. He was 245/ hour which was pretty resonable compared to the states!?!

girls...will write review soon!! Just got back from wedding on 7/31/10:) Everything was aMAZING!! I struggled with if I should do the free package or the ultimate and it is a much better deal with the ultimate even with the 12 extra ppl we paid for!! Totally worth it!! The resort photographer and videographer were AMAZING and totally took their time to do a wonderful job and catch the sunset lighting with all our pix:) We worked with Natalia and she was totally in control and took care of EVERYTHING WE needed!! I brought down so many decorations nad chair bows and she put it all together for us and made it happen!! Even the do it yourself lights I made worked out great and they used them all in our lanterns I brought down!!! the reception was perfect!! Our parents surprised us with a dj, originally we thought we would just use our own ipod, but it was totally worth it because we had extra lighting and didnt have to worry about the songs!! He was pretty cheap too!! Natalia the day of the wedding got him hired and there on time!! Dinner was amazing!! We picked the silver menu since we had 12 extra ppl and it was perfect!! It was absolutely my DREAM wedding come to life!!! It was beautiful and secluded from everyone on the beach!! I am so happy as to how it went and thank you to everyoone who helped me get ideas about decor and invites and etc!! Everyone was impressed and it was absolutely beautiful!! if you can, try to get your wedding time at 6 pm because the sunset is right about that time and the lighting is amazing and it is not as hot as it would be eduring the day!! Thanks girls...any questions I will be happy to answer!! all of our guests weree impressed and had an amazing time....even after the 1.5 hour drive from the airport to the hotel....totally worth it!! cheers; )

thank you so much for you wonderful review!! So helpful!! How many people can sit at each table? Did you have assigned seating with the namecards, or did you just have the namecards all sitting together? Thanks for your help!

Anyway- we did go to the mayan ruins/chichen itza (totally worth it), it is a day trip though- we left early in the morning. You'd want to go in the morning because it gets so hot there. Took is a good couple hours to get there, but the bus provided food and drink, and played movies both ways. I can't remember exactly how much it cost, so I don't want to quote you a price- but we used the tour set up at the resort- it was so easy. When you first walk into the lobby- hang a left- and there is a little space where they set up the tours for you. It was an awesome day, the most beautiful thing. Also if you don't want to go all the way to chichen itza- you can catch a cab to the Tulum Ruins, equally beautiful and it's only about a 10 min. drive down the road =) that was only a couple bucks. Thanks sooo much That helps!!! We are soo excited!! Also, did you have a rehersal and if so when was it and do I need to talk to her about that now so i can let my wedding party know, or should I just wait till we get there and have that first meeting:) Thanks girly!
