Hi 6fth.. so sorry the link I sent you was a pic of san jose mexican restauarant... Steak house is much bigger!!! and very open.

Jenk I am so sorry.. What I meant was the Mexican restaurant!!!

Hi Jenk. This is what I got from Monse regarding the Steak House... 6:30pm-11pm they do charge $1000... I am sure you can try to talk to Monse to see if she can just charge you for just one fee.. if let's say you start at 7pm instead? .. Steak house is shaped rectangular and the entrance is on the left side which will also be the dance floor. .. - Steak House: The set up on this restaurant can be separate tables (not more than 10persons per table), a T table (not more than 6 persons per table), a U Shape or a long table for all the wedding group · Linens :white · Napkins: white, sand, aqua blue, bright yellow, bright blue, silver, black,red · SITE FEE: 500.00site 8:00-11:00PM 1000.00USD 06:30-11:00PM

Hi ManTy, Congratulations!!! I just got married there this July 2010. Excellent Resort!! All my guest had a fantastic time!! You will have lots of fun planning your wedding.. If your planning to get your photos done by Mango productions (from the resort) they are fantastic!!! ... I got my hair done by Suzanne Morel - outside the resort since I have heard from other brides she is fantastic.. and she was! Many many choices where to have your wedding.. Beach, gazebo.. The resort have amazing views wherever you have your reception. Have fun!! =)

Great Venue!!! Wedding photographer have told me that best time to take photos is late afternoon which is exactly what your doing!! =))) ... Since your already doing the photos with the family before the wedding.. Just a suggestion to take the rest of the bride and groom photos after the wedding when your guest are at the cocktail bar. I also wanted my wedding at 5pm but was unable to get that time and had it at 2pm which was very hot.. but everything turned out okay. Excellent choice with the steakhouse!!! They have a gorgeous view facing the ocean/arch on their patio. Just a suggestion - Pacha Disco is small and would suggest to have your first dance at the Steakhouse on their patio. The view, the sunset and the breeze is for sure an ambience your guest will never forget when you guys have your first dance. Someone posted this pic from their wedding at bestdestination.com - steakhouse http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://variastudio.com/img/wedding-los-cabos/cabo-san-lucas-101.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/thread/17643/receptions-at-the-riu/10&usg=__nuCM6sCeNpOJT6JxsLhnEi6W8Ec=&h=500&w=753&sz=226&hl=en&start=120&zoom=1&tbnid=UIsYO62oeSGdOM:&tbnh=106&tbnw=159&prev=/images%3Fq%3Driu%2Bpalace%2Bcabo%2Bwedding%2Bsteakhouse%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1440%26bih%3D691%26tbs%3Disch:10%2C2385&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=110&vpy=417&dur=398&hovh=183&hovw=276&tx=173&ty=101&ei=die2TOqXPNKFswawvZC8CQ&oei=WCe2TIeRLIOHswb33NSqCA&esq=7&page=5&ndsp=29&ved=1t:429,r:22,s:120&biw=1440&bih=691 I hope this was helpful.. =) Have a fantastic beautiful wedding!!!! =)

Monse is fantastic! but they are doing alot of weddings within a week.. 29 days to go!! You must be super excited. What kinds of tips? What is your venue like? Send me a private PM or here and I'll be happy to help. Are you getting your hair done at Suzanne Morel?

I also just got married at Riu Palace this July and my iPod touch worked with no problem... All the ipods have the same output.. so they should all worked the same way (except the old ipod nano)... pls verify with Monse to be sure... but for me it was not a problem!!

This was a lot of fun to do and I can't wait to hand them out. Where is a good site to order first aid kits for Canadian customers?

I'm planning to put a big shaker cup in the oot bag... maybe i should think about using that as a wedding favors instead.

That's a fantastic idea!! Will look into that.. thanks nicole!!

I will tie each escort card to the maraca (that way it won't fly away in the wind which always seem to be present in Cabo). On the front of the card will state the guest name and table number and the back will say "shake for a kiss". I figured by the end of the night most people will be dancing with them on the dance floor. Hope this helps! Cheers!!

Any wedding favours idea that doesn't look cheap and and will be useful to the guest aftewards? Thanks in advance!

It's become an addiction! lol I think the BDW forum helps with this too though! I just started buying for my OOT bags 2 months ago and I am way way over budget.. now I have stop keeping track on my spreadsheet so my fiance won't see it.. lol lol..

A brown handled bag with our Logo 2 Koozie's with our logo 2 Cups with our logo 2 Luggage tags A map of Cancun Welcome Letter First aid kit with Ibuprofen,Neosporin,Bandaids,Immodium, Aloe vera gel, Sunblock and Pepto tabs. I know everything but the aloe vera gel was used. The resort had mini fridges stocked with M&M's, candy bars, bottled water, soda and beer. We also had liquor dispensers in the room so we stayed away from adding any of that in the bags. Love your oot stuff!!!!

Hi Brides, I am planning to get married this July and wondered if anyone got married in Cabo with a Religious ceremony. How long does it normally take in comparison to the civil? How was the minister? Thanks in advance!!!
