No Amberth, don't make this mistake. Portofino restaurant is the worse one among all of them, it's absolutley better the mexican El Patio or the french one. Are you having the wedding dinner in the restaurant picking from the italian menu or it's only the location you have choosen for the Silver or Gold menu?

I have used 2 associated of Juan Navarro, they are Tony Rues and Alex Mel. They are very good photographers, professional and friendly!! I suggest them very much! My wedding day was very cloudy and they has been able to make bright photo and with beautiful colors! Some days after the wedding I had a session with Aventure photos, I wanted some pictures with the sun and the touquoise sea that I haden't in my big day. The colors are good but I absolutely suggest Tony and Alex, I love they b/w effects and the old mansion pictures! They do a lot of weddings and they know very well how the bridegrooms result better, Tony suggested us the positions for a lot of pictures and at the same time they have taken pictures without anybody realized of it.

Let me know exactly what confuse you regarding the beach ceremony, I have seen at least 10 wedding in the 2 weeks in the SMB and I have seen a lot of options.

Hi brides, I came back last monday and the jet leg and the earthquake don't allow me to came back to normal live. Give me some days and I will write my review. I had only 8 guests and I have given the final list only 1 week before, they wanted recognize the guests bookings. I decided the final flowers arrangment 2 weeks before leaving and the menu 1 week before leaving. As regard the menu, I have mixed silver and gold menu and during a romantic dinner in the beach I have tried also other plates included in the 2 menu. Let me know if you want to know my choise and how were them. I suggest you to choose flowers and menu before going to the resort in order be free from worries and thoughts. Mayan Floral has worked in a fantastic way, they exceeded my expectations and the food was VERY good, so I understand your "panic", I had it 2 weeks ago, but it's absolutley unfounded!

Hi bride RN I just came back home from SMB. I have used SPA for make up and hair style and I have done a trial the day before. I'm very happy, you can change what you don't like or don't convince you and at the end I have been very satisfy. The make up is waterproof so no problem with umidity, winter, kiss ... you can cry without problem ;-) For the hair style, you must wash your hair in the room, they make only the hair style and I liked it expecially the wedding day where the result was better then the trial. One suggestion, ask to use al lot of hair pins and fixing spray because the wind is very strong in the beach!!

Don't worry about hair style an make up, i had the trial 2 days before and you can change if you don't like anything. I got married yesterday and they were very nice and professional and the result was better then the trial! One suggestion, if you don't like hair in front of your face during the ceremony you must choose a wrapped hair style with a lot of fixing-spray, in the beach it's very windy! Congratulation and have a good trip!

Hi Mike If you are good I will see the sun in your video instead of the clouds ;-) I m crossing my fingers See you tomorrow!

Hi Cassie My wedding will be at 5.00 pm so you are welcome if you want get a peak!! See you soon :-) CRI

Hi brides I m in the resort now, yesterday I have seen the bride Anne, she was spectacular, very nice dress and reception arrangment with lanterns. Probably I have seen also the other bride of the day but she was talking and I didn't want disturb. The beach is fantastic, I have seen the new canopy and the gazebo and I confirm my choise. Tomorrow I will have the hair style and make up trial, I cross my fingers ;-) Let me know if you need anythings Hugs CRI

Hi girls Only few lines to tell you that tomorrow I start my long trip to go to SMB. For 2 other girls tomorrow will be the Big Day and I wish all the best for them. Thank you for all the support I have received in these last months A big hug CRI

Last minute help! I'm printing the Menu and I would like print somthing to connect to the fans that I will put on the chairs in the beach. Do you have any samples? I think: Our names, the date, the location ... and then...what else?

I have found this picture on the web, it isn't my canopy set up. It isn't included in the Ultimate package. All the flowers for the canopy, except one centerpiece, are excluded to the Ultimate package and you must pay for them.

Who can confirm me that the cost to upgrade the photo package 3 included in the Ultimate package is exactly the difference between the packet choose and 724$? For example : upgrade the photo package 3 to the 5 is 1100-724=376$ upgrade the photo package 3 to the 6 is 1300-724=576$ Thank you Quote: Originally Posted by KCDawn After reading your PM I think you already know this, Cri, but for everyone else, I'll clarify. I agree there is a mistake in the PDF Wedding Guide. Juan Navarro sent me a word document with the price list for Secret's and it has Package 5 at $1100 with all other details the same. It makes no sense that Package 5 would be more expensive than 6. .

How much the photo package 5 costs in your price list? I think my price list is wrong Photo package 4 - $1030 Photo package 5 - $1700 (???) Photo package 6 - $1300 But the package 6 has all included in the package 5 + all negatives and costs less ... I think there is a mistake

Amberth the ceremony duration is about 15 minutes. Will you have legal or symbolic ceremony?

HI eveyone! 18 days till my wedding at the SMB!! Bpokatie, I need you solidarity :-) I will write you in private Cecilia told me: - 1 song for me - 1 song for brides maids (if you have) - 1 song for the signing of documents - 1 sonf for the walk out - 6 songs for the beginning and/or end of ceremony, while guests are arriving. I need to fix them in this week end, I'm sure only about my song! Quote: Originally Posted by bpokatie Hi everyone! 15 days till my wedding at SMB! Amber, I'm not sure if Cecilia told you how many songs yet, but she told me: 3 beginning songs song for bridal party song for bride walk song during the ceremony song after the ceremony for the walkout 3 songs for the end I don't know why but I'm having a very hard time picking out songs. I hope this helps!

I would like very much see some pictures of the new canopy decorated with flowers and fabric. Anyone (included photographers) have any pictures?

The first one is the new, the second is the old I hope the second one is still an option ... I prefere it.

Today I have received the picture of the new Secrets Marma Beach canopy, it's very big ... too much in my opinion. It isn't appropriate for a small marriage, and the standard set up doesn't include the white tend that were in the old one. I don't like... :-( Do you know if we can use the old one?

Sorry for the last question already answered from Cancun Wedding Video.

Do you know who will be the video operator? Is Cancun Wedding Video?

My reception dinner will be under the wedding gazebo, we will have only one table. I don't think it will be dark, I have seen one picture with the table under the gazebo and the atmosfeere seems very nice.

I 'm going to have the sand ceremony but I don't know if I have to take vases and colored sand or if they will provide them for us. Do you know? Do you know if the sand and hand ceremony are before or after the ring ceremony? And last question: do you have the text of the ceremony and vows? Thank you for your help
