Will be quite hot, the later, the better April is the month were The rRiviera Maya heats up

You are still getting married at 5, basically you are changing the ceremony one hour before considering the sun position, what will affect all is the temperature and light direction

It could be a problem if you want a cooler ceremony and then you do your wedding earlier, moving one hour forward the wedding ceremony will be back one hour means hotter

Gran Caribe Real.- is one of the cheapest of your options, food is not the best, rooms are old and is packed on April, May June, July, November and December. but good option for does in a tight budget Moon Palace.- is certainly far but you get ALL you need in the same place, food is one of the best of all resorts I know, beach is ugly and It is huge, for some this is minus because your guest will stay in different hotels inside and may never found each other to get together before and after wedding Dreams Tulum, acceptable food, acceptable room great beach to swim and look as well as to step on, so fine, like 3-4 restaurants Iberostar (Paraiso Lindo, del Mar and Grand).- Good Food, Good Room, Packed in busy months, great beach and good sand to step on, huge! but you get ALL inside, It is far from a near city like Playa (25 mins) like 8-9 restaurants plus disco Grand Palladium is like Gran Caribe but huge got ALL inside and It is far from Playa

@@ASwedding I know they are very busy, once I saw 15 weddings in one day, obviously busy season, but It is coming April and May, I am not sure exactly if this is part of the problem but did you tried to do a conference call to talk about the subject? It may be better than waiting a long time and not get the right answer or having more questions than before. Cheers! Ivan

@@PalmTreeDreams humidity is 100 most of the time could be 70-80 depending on the season, April to August 80F for sure and 100% humidity, there are nothing that can't be solved with some beers

beach could be less hot than gazebos, exactly because of the wind, but depending also where gazebo is located, from April until august heat and humidity are at maximum, if the ceremony is on the beach, It depends on the time and location also to determine if it will be hot or less hot, this is why I asked, there are some beach locations at certain time that buildings cast shadow on the venue and will be the less hot possible in any case, photography and video will be affected this is why I also asked

@@AMD which month are you getting married? also what time is your ceremony? do you care about pictures? (yes/no)

I wanted to give you a heads up. I got an email of a Bride I shot her wedding at Dreams Riviera Maya, the local company lost her wedding video (yes the one that charges the crazy outside vendor fee) according to her they tried to recover sending the memory card to several locations in Mexico. This in house company should had sent the memory card to the manufacturer, they know better the memory card parts. This is a best practice and the one I use in my photography, sadly many if not all no not care. 1.- I bought a camera that records twice the shot at the moment I take it, It means the second mack up is immediately created on the fly. 2.- First thing after the wedding I back up the pictures in 3 media storage devices, 1 available to work any time in my desk, 2nd one inside my safety box attached to the floor and wall, 3rd offsite. 3.- I do myself, the first 2 media storage devices records twice and has 5 hard drives inside each one. I wish nothing but the best and I really hope you all brides out there care about this and make sure the photographer does not say I do back up but actually do. Ivan

I know this is something no one asked about, perhaps It helps some one out there More of the wedding and locations shoots at http://www.luckiephotography.com/wedding-photographer-now-sapphire-trina-darcy/

Certainly is a beautiful place, It has a lot of nice spots, many greenish areas, I personally love it!

I have seen some clients using this company http://besttransfers.com/cancun_airport/index.php good luck!

right! I meant that!

@@LisaAnthonyPoppy I know!! sounds crazy but I am referring a DJ performing, playing a playlist, your DJ will set up a speaker that will use for reception (assuming) I guess and probably will be the same or a close location for cocktail and reception and I am sure he will play a playlist not really performing music, right? Cheers!

@@be1122 the reason of that it is because in December people get money, so every single seller makes sure they have some incomes when people have money than in January that many of us spend almost all we got

Ramon is certainly an efficient Coordinator/Planner I have had the pleasure to work several times with him and all my brides are always pleased with his work, also I can say I am pleased working with him, some other P/C does not care art all about out side vendors, besides Now Sapphire that vendor very very nice, I love this place! I jus finish a wedding here and I will post to help some brides to organise and plan their day! Best! Ivan!

I don't think this is a problem, at least not yet, I am sure everything will be OK, wish you the best!

@@KendraS as local SPA or beauty Salon has employees, they change often, for what I have experiences in the past, many brides take it off and re make up again themselves in the room, you may get a good make up employee but most likely not, Make up is important, if you do not feel comfortable that may be a very bad for your looking nice day!

@@hellosassypants I travel often, back and forth, the most secure lowest fare is 8 months before, but! depends on season as well, for example in Mexico, in Cancun April is very busy season, so It may never get lower and actually may get more expensive from one day to another, If I were you I would buy it ASAP! Cheers! Ivan

so then just plug your iphone/ipod/ipad in their system, It should not cost you a cent create a playlist and will be more than enough! Cheers!! Ivan

I would be so glad to help on anything you need, venues, tips, dresses, trash the dress, etc! PV message me if you need help or advice!

@@Nybride525 TTD work with almost any dress, at least I can make it work for pictures, It is true that as long as you feel OK the better, but think on magical pictures, beautiful dress, blue waters, amazing pictures, do a mix of comfortable-nice looking approach

@@LauraM in 500+ weddings I have never seen a DJ performing in a cocktail hour time, some of them rent a compact audio system and speaker were they can plug the iphone, ipod or ipad, TIP: launch music always bring lot of ambient during a cocktail hour time

Congratulations!!!! wish you the best!
