I have not seen the different options for spaces, but if any of you get them please send them my way... [email protected]

Geeze! Thanks so much! I can't believe as many times as I have been to that site I didn't find it there!

Does anyone have a pricelist for the Spa? Trying to get a hold of someone but can't seem to get a response?

No trash the dress for me. I love the idea, but I am sure me and my dress will get plenty of trashed the night before. My fiance and I are doing engagement photos here in the next couple of weeks.

I think she can customize pretty much anything! The pictures that she sends are just ideas. I had the rest of the gazebo pictures, but I trashed them since I was not interested in the flower arch. Sorry. YES! The music is SUPER pricey! I looked into the price here in the states and it was about $150 per hour. I am keeping mine short simple and sweet. I have only about 14 people attending so far could be more, who knows could be less. This was going to be just my fiance and 2 other couples and all of a sudden it has turned into something way bigger than I thought! We are just doing the bare min. Use of the gazebo, judge, flowers for my bridesmaids, photographer, and maybe a cocktail hour after the ceremony. I don't really see the point in paying for a sit down dinner for my guests when they already paid for an all-inclusive stay. They are all drinkers so I don't think anyone will mind that I don't make them sit through all the traditional wedding stuff. So let's see...ceremony, a couple photo ops, drinks and tapas and party time! Not sure about OOT bags yet. But I am pretty sure that you can bring anything with you as long as it's not in your carry on.

You may want to check out Cecilia Dumas out too she is reducing her prices. She was my first choice but WAY too expensive!! I can afford her now...but I didn't get the info till after I sent my deposit to William. Too bad our weddings are not the same day or back to back. Ill bet he would have given us a good deal! Option 3 4 Hours of service 100 copies 4x6 colour, black & white and sepia, including digital retouch 10 copies 6x8 including digital retouch Digital Negatives (CD Rom high resolution showing all the pictures taken about 300 pictures, these pictures doesn’t include digital retouch) Total $1800 – 25% $1350

Awesome! I am sure we will bump into each other! I tried to get Sunday at 5 but had to settle for Thursday. Those slots fill FAST! Might be a good thing. My bridesmaids will only be there for a day so hopefully it won't give them a chance to get tan lines to match their strapless dresses they are wearing. I am not sure how that works...I am not doing any of the wedding packages. I was talking to Yamina and she said that I could just do an "ala carte" wedding. There are somethings included in the packages that I am just not interested in. Keeping it simple simple! Have you seen the pics of the bouquet choices yet? Juan seems like he has some good stuff. I don't think you could go wrong with him if he is included in the packages. Yes! We are at the tail end of the rainy season, so keep your fingers crossed!! Are you at all worried about photos after your ceremony with the lighting and all? I think the sun sets at 6pm!! I am wondering if I shouldn't move mine up to 4:30 or just let my fiance see me before? What are you doing?

Were any of you apprehensive about sending him money via PayPal? I just hope he shows up!

Just got info Back from Juan. He is more expensive, but you have to pay for Williams day pass. It's a wash really.

I booked my trip and didn't realize that their dates fill up super quickly!! I am having to get married on a Thursday just so that I could get a 5pm slot.

I got his info from Yamina as well. I tried to contact him today but no response yet. His pictures do look nice... Juan Navarro Photographer I just fell in LOVE <3 <3 with William!!

He is about the cheapest that I have found without taking cheezy prom-like photos on the beach. He is $1000 for 4 hours. I am signing my contract and booking him as we speak. His photos are beautiful! Destination Wedding Photographer Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen, Cancun | William Sánchez You will also have to pay for him and his lighting assistants event pass which is $70 each. Good luck!

I am so glad that you had a wonderful time! I can't wait to see your pictures. What photog did you use. I am still in search...it's driving me nuts!
