I like both. What is everyone else choosing? The pool deck or terrace.

I'm narrowing the choices to these and then FI, his brother, and one of my bff's will vote! So I'm kinda democratic, right? LOL On the menu choices like # 3 when it says " Or Lamb Wellington" what does that mean? Is it saying you can have that as the main entree? I am confused by that.

Right, I am nervous about my time to. Who knows...What package are you getting? I am doing the Ultimate, but I am not sure what menu to choose. We are having about 15 guests ...I wish I could do the buffet.

I checked on sunset times during the end of July and it showed it at 7:38 or something like that. Do you think this will be enough time with lighting? I'm hoping to have amazing sunset pictures! I am getting married at 4:30pm on March 5th, 2011. I didnt' want to chance it getting dark before the pictures were taken. It showing the sunset at 5:53p.m. on that day.

I received the contract from Ana , does anyone have advice on what dinner menu to choose. Are you able to decide once you arrive?

Quote: Originally Posted by cathyandchin On my contract it says $198 for the ceremony! Has the price gone up recently? grrr... So if you do the iPod for the reception you don't need to rent the sound system? Cathy No, its only $180.00 for the sound system for the ceremony.

I was thinking during the ceremony (we're doing the beach) because the cocktail hour is going to be socializing time and the reception we'd just do the iPod. Thoughts?? Cathy That is a good idea to have the cocktail hour the day before the wedding. Great idea!

Ladies, Is anyone paying the $180.00 for the sound system to use during the ceremony?

Quote: Originally Posted by lcraney Hi! I don't know if I officially let everyone know but you can add Leanne&Adam 5/14/2011 to the list! Hooray for all of us! yes, I think I am going for end of May 2011 now because I didn't even think of the spring breakers. have you already reserved your date?

Quote: Originally Posted by Ashlynn039 I'm also going with the ultimate package, so thanks for letting me know! I'm not sure if I should bother my TA about this again (it took forever to get my answer in the first place) or try and negotiate that with Ana when we get down there for the wedding. What do you think? I am going with the Ultimate package also. What reception menu did you choose?

Quote: Originally Posted by beachykeen After looking at Adventure Photos website, I'm 100% happy with using them. I'm just going to make sure I bring photos to show them some of my must have pictures. Is that the photographer the resort uses?

Ladies, Do you know when spring break is in Cancun? I am getting married 03/12/11 I think that is around the time of Spring Break. Which I may want to avoid.

I received my contract from Ana yesterday. I am going with the Ultimate Package. I was wondering what reception menu everyone was going with? Any suggestions. Thanks!

Maybe we should call the resort and see what is going on. I emailed Ana two weeks ago because I faxed my credit card information for my deposit to be withdrawn. I asked her to email me back to make sure she got it. HELLO..SOMEONE COULD STEAL MY DEBIT CARD INFORMATION. Then I look at my bank account and it has been withdrawn, but no email from Ana in two weeks or no contract. however, they were very quick to take my money.

The ballroom has an awful red carpet, so we will not have our reception in there even if it rains. It looks like the hall near DESIRES bar was set up for either a cocktail party or reception in some pics I saw. I think you could get away with it if you have a small group. I am going to have over 80-90 people??!! Yikes! Im a bit nervous- but I know DREAMS will do a great job! I just got my contract!! Save the Dates will go out Saturday!!!! When is your wedding?

Can you please email me the link to Juan Navarro's price list? My email address is: Thanks!

I want to know where she got her dress..

These are beautiful! Do you have her user name ,so I can email her directly?
