We will give this to Ana when we meet so she can give to the minister. Thanks Mindy..we are getting married in the states before too...I have to get going on this. Do you know if they have scripts available from the resort?

Hi girls! I am having a symbolic ceremony in August. Does anyone know if we can get a script of what will be said during the ceremony. I have no idea how this is going to work! Thanks!!

Hey Girls!!! Does anyone know a good site to order some beach totes that can be used as OOT bags? I am getting married in August and I need to start getting this together. I checked out the ones from amazon but the are sold out and don't know when they are getting more!! Those were awesome...but now I need another option!! Thanks everyone!

Some are color, some black and white, some black and white with just flowers or somehting in the picture being color and sepia photos. So creative. We had so much fun. Here is a link to a few of the pictures on his site. JEFF & AMBER DREAMS RIVIERA CANCUN 10 APRIL’10 Juan Navarros Blog Also if you just go to his site you can check out his work. www.juanphots.com Full review of the resort and wedding etc.. to come within the next few days! Happy planning! Hi!!! I was wondering how you got to use Juan. Ana told me I had to use Adventure...the resort photographer. They seem pretty good, but initially I loved Juan's work. I would still like to see if I can use him..Your pics are beautiful!!!

Hi Ladies! Has anyone seen the lights that can go under the tables at the reception. I really want to get them because they seem awesome! Also, did anyone purchase table overlays? I am not sure what size I need?

Hi Girls!! I cannot seem to find out anything about the color overlays that are available through the resort. Does anyone know this? I am not sure if I should order my own! Thanks!

They did a good job! That's perfect! Laura...did you bring your own table overlays and sashes for the chairs? I am not sure what I should do. I hear they have plain colors.

I need to vent!! My fiance and I are staying 11 nights but have now added one more to make it a total of 12 nights. Through my TA we received a free guest room for every 5 booked. Our parents decided to put that free room towards our extra night. My TA just told me that the hotel may make us change our room for the last night to a regular guest room (fiance and I have an upgraded room). I am soooo MAD!! We booked a bunch of rooms and are staying many nights! I think that is ridiculous if they don't let us keep our room one more night!! The manager said he would let the TA know as it gets closer to the wedding! I am very upset by this!

Or do they have them available at the resort for the ceremony? I thought this would be something they supplied.

I am not sure if I should purchase chair bows and table overlays and bring them down. What are all of you doing and what size overlays would we have to get. I have no clue what colors the resort offers and I would definitely want to see them first. So confusing!

HI ladies...I am having a DJ for my reception. But do I have to rent speakers for the music at the ceremony. I am not sure how this works.

Hi everyone!! I wanted to make OOT bags for my guests. But how do we go about shipping everything down. I just wanted to fill it with snacks, water, things like that. Not sure if I willhave rrom to carry all that down. Is anyone else making these bags?

Amanda...I also got no response from Ana when I tried myself. I am now using a TA and everything has gone much more smoothly. My TA also has a spanish speaking friend help her talk to Ana. That has been working great! I am getting married Aug 8. I wanted July too, but that was inavailable. Try a sunday or Monday in August. Also, get a hold of a good TA. Good luck.

What are you all doing about table linens and chair bows? Does anyone know the colors that are available? I know they are a little expensive to rent and I do not know if it is better for me to get them on my own? I heard the colors from Ana are not too great! Help!

Hey Girls! My wedding is on August 8 and I was wondering if anyone has seen the overlay colors?? I am having the lights under the tables so I want an overlay, but not sure if I should order them myself. Then I would have to order the chair bows to match. Dreams chargs a ridiculous amount for them. What are you all doing regarding table decor?? Plus...centerpieces Ana sent me are awful!!

My TA spoke with Ana the other day about us bringing in an outside photogrpaher. I was interested in Claudia. Ana says I can't bring one in and have to use the resorts photographer which is Adventure Photos. I am so confused! She gives different answers to everyone. Adventure seems alright but I have seen much better!

Thanks everyone!! I emailed Claudia about her photography prices...I have heard she is expensive? Did you get any prices from her? I really want nice pictures. It gets so confusing with Ana..my TA is the one always speaking to her.

I was wondering if anyone knew about the photographer situation at Dreams Riviera Cancun. I am getting married Aug 8, 2010 and I planned on using their photographer. However, I would like to look them up and see their work first. Are we able to bring in a photographer from the area? SO confused!

Hi my name is Alison and I am a newbie to the forum. I am getting married on August 8, 2010 at Dreams Riviera Cancun. SO excited but definitely need some help and advice. THis is a little overwhelming!
