That's awesome! I'm hoping to be able to use a DJ instead of the live muscian as well! Did u have to pay anything extra or was it an even swap?

Ohhh, lighting would be so pretty! I was at a wedding last weekend and it was such a nice touch! I wonder if I can do lighting in Castaways. I agree with not wanting it bright! Thanks!

Ladies I am just full of questions this afternoon! 1) is anyone bringing their entire ceremony script? I have one i'd like to use but I'm just not sure if they'll get it right, lol 2) The $500 deposit we put down goes toward our package, correct?

Another question Kristen **sorry!** What was Pilar response about the difference between the religious vs non-religious ceremony?

Thanks again Kristen. What is Blue Petal?

Thanks I read that on the form. I was just wondering if I needed to send it earlier.

I saw it! Thanks!

Thank You Kristen! I did get that planning form but I did not realize I needed to go ahead and send it back to her already! I've started filling it out but I'm not sure of all the details! I'm so stressed with not knowing how many guest we will have! It can be anywhere from 20-50 and that's such a wide range. I'm hoping for no more than 40 bc the price gets pretty high!! Do you think I should fill it out the best I can and send it or it it ok to wait? NOW WEDDING PLANNING FORM.doc

How did you get an invoice? I haven't even talked to Pilar since January when I gave her our deposit. Is this something I need?

I've decided to use the resort flowers. I'm trying to make everything as simple as possible.

For those who made a slideshow... How did you make it? Powerpoint or is there another way?

Oh great! Going to purchase now!! Thanks Speckles )

Thanks! I have a silly question.... Can anyone purchase this groupon even if we are in a different city then it is offered?

Thanks! Silly question... Can anyone purchase this groupon even if we aren't in the area?

Does anyone have the spa email address? I've searched for it and can't find it! Thanks!

Love this picture! Adorable!

Congratulations on your recent wedding Erica! So happy to hear that you had such an amazing time! I too am going with the Divine package. How much was it to upgrade your photography package?

Just thought I'd try once more to see if the signs are still available...

I read somewhere in the following thread: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/57821/the-now-riviera-cancun/2270 That the buffet is an option if you have 50 or more guest and there was no additional fee for the buffet. You would just pay whatever your package price is per extra person. If you go to the 1st page of this thread and search for "buffet" it will direct you to the page where I got this info. Hope this helps!

I would like our bridal party to walk down to Beyonce "Dangerously in Love" (my Bridal Party is very small so it will only be a snip of the song) I am going to walk down to Kenny G "Sentimental" - (I really love Maurette Brown Clark "The One He Kept For Me" but we recently went to a wedding where the Bride walked to this so I want to do something different I'm still not sure about the recessional just yet but I'm sure my FI will think of something. I'm sure we'll do something fun! Our First Dance will be Musiq Soulchild "Greatest Love" (it's got a special meaning to us, my FI dedicated it to me when we first started dating ) Father/Daughter Dance will be Natalie Grant "Always Be Your Baby"

Are the Mr. & Mrs. Signs still available?

These pictures are absolutely amazing!!!! I LOVE LOVE converse and love how they did this!!! I wish I was having a larger wedding party!! I would totally steal this idea! I LOVE it! Thanks for sharing!!!!

Hey Chantal, I believe the cost to use a projector for a slideshow is $300. The prices are listed on the 1st page of this thread.

I agree with Mlite. I follow both tripadvisor.com and facebook. As you said, you have to take each review with a grain of salt. People that have a not so good experience are faster to jump online and write a bad review than someone that has a good experience. I stopped looking at trip advisor for a little bit b/c I felt like I was going to drive myself crazy. A lot of the negative reviews I read had to do with problems checking in, which I have read the same about many other resorts. One thing that's bothering me is the reviews about it being unsanitary. That bothers me but there's nothing we can do at this point but be positive. Our trips are going to be amazing ladies!
