Oh my gosh I'm so sorry your experience wasn't what you had hoped. I hope it didn't completely ruin any good memories of your wedding! Cabo is a beautiful location. Hopefully your photos will give you good things to remember. Congrats on being a Mrs!!

Yay! Finally! OMG - you're stunning!! Absolutely gorgeous!! What a cute couple!! And I LOVE the veil!!!

@@cora4600 Congrats on your wedding and thanks for posting a review! It's always helpful for the brides on the site when they get to read about other brides' experiences. Your photos are gorgeous! Who did your photography? I'm a Jamaican bride too but October 2011 and we were at Gran Bahia Principe Jamaica in Runaway Bay. We loved Jamaica and fell in love with the island.

Congrats and welcome! You're definitely looking at 3 beautiful resorts! I'm not sure about the Sandals but there are definitely threads here for the other two. If you do a search up top you'll get multiple threads. I know we had one bride that recently got married at one of the RIU resorts in Jamaica so I know if you do a search the conversations will come up for you to read. Would also recommend a good travel agent. They're the experts on possible perks you might be entitled to with your group and they'll also assist with what's available depending on the size of your group. They'll free you up too to handle your wedding planning so that your guests can deal directly with the agent for questions and booking. If you're in the US the owners of this site are DW experts and can be reached through the link on this site. Good luck!

You're probably up to your eyeballs in packing and stuff but I wanted to wish you one last "have a great trip" before you head out tomorrow. I know it's going to be awesome, you're going to have a wonderful week and a beautiful wedding day!! Can't wait to hear all about it and see pictures! Have a great flight tomorrow!

Oh I love the bags!! They turned out great! That's a super list of stuff that you put in too! I have a couple of the same things that I'm including but we're also doing sunglasses. Where did you get the bags from! They look really good!!

Adorable! You're so cute together! It looks like it was beautiful! Congrats again! So can't wait to see your photos from Mexico!! We'll be talking about you I'm sure next week when the Toronto ladies get together. You'll be official by then and almost ready to come home!! It's going to be fabulous and you're going to have a wonderful week and a beautiful wedding day!!

Congrats in being a Mrs! Looking forward to pics. And only 2 more sleeps!! Woo-hoo!! So excited for you! Hope you're doing something special tonight!! Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

Those are so cute!

I love the photos I see with the dress hanging on a special hanger, and hanging in a special location - out on a tree, or hanging from a terrace or something similar. I've seen some really gorgeous photos done that way.

I got married there nearly 4 years ago and we loved it. I'll be honest - several things have changed since 2011 but we loved it because we had the gazebo right on the beach without standing in the sand. We got stuck with a 1 pm wedding time which I hated but it was because we had so much turmoil towards the end that we pretty much had to take what was still available in terms of times. yes - they do multiple weddings in a day but they don't have one wedding standing around waiting for the one in front to end. They do have you move along after your wedding but they allow an hour and a half in between each one. it is definitely a big resort but we didn't find the size overwhelming. They have some great spots for photos. They have a couple of spots for either semi private or a private reception. I do know their outside vendor fee, which we didn't pay, has gone up to $800 but I've heard there are one or two outside photographers that have incorporated it into their fees so that's a big help. The spa was ok for makeup but I'm not sure I would recommend them. They're good as long as you're very specific about what you want. I didn't do that and regretted it afterwards. The food at the resort we found very good and enjoyed it. Even though our group had cancelled, they did a dinner reception for just the two of us, plus our photographer stayed and it was beautiful! They went out of their way I think because they felt bad for us and make it really special. I would absolutely recommend the resort for sure. We didn't take anything with the resort photographer except the freebies and they were ok. There weren't any good recommendations on them though. The gazebo you can have for a private dance party after. it's right down at the beach and they'll light it up for you and give you a bartender and I think a dj. Most of the ladies I was working with four years ago did their own ipod thing and it worked out great. There were a lot of great reviews about it. Good luck!

I love the teapot idea! That's so original and it looked like fun! wow - both weddings are so close now!! lol The time will fly by! @@TinkerSofi you leave on Sunday!! @@diadiamond you're only 6 weeks away!

We have a super small group and I found the resorts aren't great with small groups but we ended up going off resort to Grand Coral Beach Club and it has worked out great so far! I'm looking forward to it. Joyce at Dream Weddings has the contact info to deal with Grand Coral. There is also Blue Venado Beach Club which can accommodate a pretty good size group and the reviews that I've seen have been great!!

So now I'm curious - where did you get the textured paper? It looks great!!! And I love the colours!! Are you doing the GTA brides meet up?

Wow - so you could end up going over 100? Yikes! That's a big group for a DW. I'm sure @@calgarybride2015 will have an answer for you since she had her wedding there but have you tried looking for photos on the internet? Sometimes if you type in wedding images with the resort name it will bring up photos to look at. I had a look at lulus.com and I love the styles they have! Very good pricing too!! Did you have shipped to Canada, or did you ship to the US and pick up?

This is going to be so much fun!!! Looking forward to this!!

Oh wow - what an adorable couple you make! And congrats on being a Mrs! Poor guy - he fainted twice???? Definitely you need to pass on details. I'm sorry - I was busting my behind to get work done and get away for vacation just when you were getting ready to leave and I didn't wish you the best then. Absolutely post photos as soon as you can. Your dress is gorgeous!!! And suits you perfectly!!

it's so pretty! Sorry I can't help out but I know there are a couple of ladies that have been. They may be able to chime in and help. Good luck!

I can be down there by 5:30 if others can and we can hold down the fort. I like the idea that they'll take us inside and we can move, just in case the weather doesn't cooperate! Thoughts?

I did think about that actually but then I realized that with what I need there just isn't any point in bothering with the cost. I thought about TPH or someplace like that and getting them to print for me and not bother with a back side photo. Having said that with all the discounts on Vistaprint I could get what I need for pretty cheap. I keep getting emails from them so maybe I'll give it another try this weekend.

I'm sure given the schedules that another date will be planned! Keep watching the forum!

I've just read through the 5 pages that I've missed! I'm sooo far behind! Argh! Wow!!! Your photos are stunning!!! Absolutely gorgeous!! You look so cute together and your dress is gorgeous! What a beautiful backdrop! I love everything you've done so far! Your necklace is so pretty and what better place to wear it than on your wedding day! I love the décor! The straws are a cool idea! Definitely once you do chair sashes post so we can see them! The finished product on your wedding day is going to be beautiful! So looking forward to the GTA brides meet!!
