Check out Hacienda Tres Rios in Riviera Maya- they have cenotes and may be able to accomodate....good luck!

Congrats!! Check out Hacienda Tres Rios....many different options for ceremony and reception depending on size.

I've never heard of the hand ceremony, but I LOVE IT!!! Thank you so much for posting it....now I have to check with the FI and hope he loves it too!

After all these beautiful pics I still haven't found the one I am looking for.....orange and yellow calla lilies (sorry about the spelling-it's lucky I at least know the name!). Anyone one out there with pics of these??

Nothing today, but lounged on the hammock with the FI...tomorrow Woman's Only Bootcamp!

These are really cute!! I hope I can figure out how to make them before November! I'm going to have to pull out my creative side...uh oh!

I'm getting married at Hacienda Tres Rios- ceremony on beach and reception either poolside or on patio. Intimate hotel so it's nice that everyone will be close together. Different than some oft he mega resorts.

I am stuck on this too. I was only going to do a welcome letter, but then after looking through this site I felt like I should do something. I think my decision will be to just do a welcome letter and then if I find something cute in town I'll pick it up. We have more than 50 guests and that's going to cost us a lot! We are trying to do a lot of nice, fun things for the wedding to show our appreciation. I think a letter from the heart is really special

Thanks Becks! and Congrats to you too!! We went down for a site visit last January and Luis had everything set up for us to meet all the vendors. I didn't know how to do a search of vendors on my own so we went mostly with what he presented to us. On a few occasions we had more than one choice. We're using Aki Demi for the photographer. I can't remember the name of the hair and make-up people, but I did a trial with them and it was good. I don't know the name of the florist or the minister (it's a really nice woman). The set up stuff is coming from Planner 1 Events. Allibe gave me the name of a DJ-Ismael Rojas and I'm waiting for a sample CD from him. I'll also check out Ivan from Doremixx since you and a few others mentioned him in these posts. We're also hiring a cigar roller and may also hire a 3-piece Mariachi band. As far as the OOT bags I think I will focus on the letter and then if something comes up that I think is a must-have, then I'll do it. There are SO many cute ideas, but with a wedding of more than 50 people it can get costly too. Do you think you guys are going to do a cocktail hour between the ceremony and reception? Are there any unique things you're doing?

I am getting married at H3R on 11.6.10! Can't wait of course! We have confirmed the photographer, minister and hair/make-up people. We are working on getting a DJ (if there are any great recommendations let me know). We finalized the set up for both nights (colors, chairs, lighting, etc.). We have about 20 people booked and about 20-30 more who will be booking in the next few weeks. Is just doing a welcome/thank you letter for the OOT to little? I don't want to have to lug more than I need to. I also don't want to spend more than I have to. I went to a DW and they did nothing in the rooms and I thought a thank you letter was all they really needed.

One hour kick butt spin class, now heading to the pool to relax!

I am also looking for a Mariachi Band in November at Hacienda Tres Rios....3 piece band is fine. Has anyone actually used one? I am going to speak to my WC and see what he says.

How do you find the Hacienda Tres Rios thread?? I am getting married there in November and looking for info. THANKS!

Hi...I am getting married at Hacienda Tres Rios in Riviera Maya in November and wondering if anyone has already had their wedding there. 1.) what went well? 2.) what did not go well? 3.) what is a must-do? 4.) what would you do without?

I'm getting married at Hacienda Tres Rios November 6, 2010. Whoever started this thread is getting married the weekend after me! I'm so excited!

I know the last thread was more than a month ago, but I just joined. Anyway, got the dress, earrings, bracelet (won't use a necklace), and shoes (flip flops). No veil for me. I also got the flowers for my hair. Not using a purse. I ordered the ring bearer's ring holder from Etsy. I ordered a custom made cake topper from Etsy. I have no idea about what to do for the OOT bags. hmmmm...what else??

I'm a November bride to be! November 6th at Hacienda Tres Rios in Riviera Maya. Any other HTR brides out there?

Hi everyone! My name is Maria. I will be getting married on Saturday November 6, 2010 at Hacienda Tres Rios. I am super excited to read all the posts. I have been to HTR twice and hope I can help anyone if need be. Thanks and good luck with your planning!~
