Future Mrs. M

Hi Ladies - we just got back from our wedding and honeymoon last night. I want to go back!!! WE had the best amazing time and I am so happy. Congrats to the rest of the November brides I hope it was everything you hoped for!

Thank You!! We just got back from our wedding and honeymoon. I am so happy with Sara and her work. I will post pics when we get good ones from our photographer. I would definitely chose her again if I were to do it all over:)!

She charged me $150 for hair/make up and a trial. She was truly amazing! I'm so glad I picked her. Make up and hair stayed and looked great all night and I'm really picky about both!

Hello!! Happy Thanksgiving!!! We just got back last night from our wedding and honeymoon!! We want to go back already! Everything was absolutely perfect! I could not be happier with chosing the Tres Rios as our wedding venue. Luis and Allibe are both helpful and I love the flexibility of the resort. We had a Catholic Ceremony in Xcaret Chapel and then our reception was at the Tres Rios in the round outdoor terrace. We had 53 guests travel with us:) Our welcome party was at the beach (between the beach and the river) and it was amazing! More than I could have asked for! We really think it made a huge difference to use our outside wedding coordinator Lissette Velez. She was AMAAAZIIIING! I can not even tell you girls how much she helped us and how BEAUTIFUL and smoothly evereything was on both nights. She coordinated everything and it all went so smoothly. She really made us feel so at ease and we did not stress out because she was so hands on and taking care of so many things that whole week. I could not be happier! Our vendors: DJ Mannia - AMAZING!!! WE got him because Lissette our coordinator recommended them and I could not give him enough great reviews. He kept the party going and announced the whole wedding party when we came in. We got ambience music for the welcome party (which consists of a sound system and also a staff member from Mannia switching up the music). I loved loved the music - it was a lot of songs that we knew with a lot of beachy type of twists. AMAZING! I had never heard it but it really set the mood. My husband and I loved each song that was redone. We had no idea what this would be like and were pleasantly surprised. THe night of the wedding we had the full DJ package and Carlos was our DJ. He was great! We loved him. Hair & Make up - Sara Tamargo: AMAZING!! She was so pleasant to work with. I loved my make up and it lasted all day and night even through all the sweating and happy tears! If I can advise anything is to use Lissette Velez because she really helped more than words can say and I can't even imagine how things would have gone with out her. Unfortunately - she will be leaving her company to work with Dreams Riviera Cancun but she was so pleasant to work with and she worked with our prices. I will post a lengthier review with more detail but feel free to ask me any questions. Also - we travelled with 53 guests and everyone had a great time. We had most of our guests raving about the resort and how much of a great time they had in Mexico. Unfortunately, there were 3 couples that had a problem with their room. I haven't dug deeper but basically one couple left early because of their issue with the resort. Make sure you let your guests know that not all rooms are ocean view with a king size bed and jaccuzzi. These 3 cases wanted all 3 of those items but apparently the hotel doesn't have king size beds in all the rooms. I think you really can't please everyone but it did make us upset to hear they had a bad time due to this. Again - it's hard to please everyone when travelling with a large group. But like I said everyone else aside from that raved and was so happy with the resort. Even with that we wouldn't pick a different resort because we loved it so much and wouldn't even be able to think of a better place for our wedding and large group. You girls will have a great wedding!! Let me know if you have any questions! I got a lot of help from the girls on this forum especially Avi - thank you!

Reservations were required but I think you can do it the day of as long as you do it prior to 3pm. We did 2 sit down dinners with our group of 40 at the grill (by the pool) for lobster dinner and we had no problem making the reservation any of the two nights! They gave us no hassle about it being such a large group and the second time they even set up a huge long table in advance.

Off to Mexico in a few hours!!!!!!!! Ahhhh the excitement is at a peak right now!! Best wishes to you girls! I hope you all have an amazing wedding and honeymoon!

I leave Tuesday!!!!!!! So exciting!!

For those married already - what did you do about your dress. Did they have a steamer or anything?? I am hoping my dress makes it ok on the plane ride but in case it gets wrinkled what have you guys done?

No - we absolutely love DelSol photography but our budget didn't permit.

Hi Becks!! We're doing our cocktail hour at the martini terrace and the reception at the terrace you have pictured here:) We're doing everything similarly! We're also doing our welcome party at the point you have pictured (between the river and the ocean). Did you get any quotes on Lighting the terrace? Did they tell you how much lighting you need? Also for the beach welcome party? Just curious:)

Hi Guys! I'm going to be using Sara Tamargo (Sol Tamargo from Del Sol is her sister). I am super excited. I get married next week so I will give you girls info when I return from my honeymoon. So far she has been insanely awesome.

Hi - I clicked on the link but I don't see any information listed on your site. Is it somewhere else now? Thanks!

Oh no I didn't hear about this. That is horrible OMG it better not rain. We need some sun for the days we are there and nice weather for the wedding.

Great review!!! What kind of shoes did you get I love the pic? Also - which company did you use for private transportation from the airport and how much did they charge? THANKS

I live in Norwalk It was a nice drive plus there's a bunch of stores around there for jewelry and that type of thing. We also bought a few of those "cuban" looking hats for our bridal parties to have fun with:)

Yes please tell us who you're using, if they're going to your hotel, if you have pics, and how much they are charging:)

How much does Adrian charge for hair? Also - what kind of make-up does he use(brand)? Thanks!

What are her bride package prices and bridesmaids prices?

Who do you guys recommend? We want to make sure our guests are safe but also get a good price.

Hi Becks - This is the one I used: [email protected]

Hi Girls does anyone have any prices for Katia Monforte? Have any of you used her and have pics you can share with us? I am interested in her and also the Norma girl from Mac but wanted to weigh out the differences. Thanks!!

Your make- up looked great!!! I have been thinking about using Norma for make-up. Did you do a trial with her and if so how much did she charge you? Also - did you use her hair person and who was it?

Hi Avi! Thank you! I reached out to Mrs Gama and she has the chairs that would match w/my colors. I told them you sent us:) How much did they charge you for chairs? They are telling us 18 pesos each plus transporting them. I read through my contract and I have nothing on there about a cake. DO the rest of you girls have it in your contract?

If you go on the website under weddings there should be a wedding video of Marissa and Louis - they had their wedding there last October. It's a great resort!!!

How was his english? We are so excited to be hearing so great reviews! Did you have any issues with announcing your wedding parties or anything like that?
