Hi Girls, sorry its been forever since ive been on here, work has been keeping me busy. I finally got my slideshow from anel...enjoy! btw, wedding was amazing, none of you should even worry one bit, the wedding team at dreams is sensational, went above and beyond my expectations!!!!! http://280412masotto.dreamsriveriacancun.adventurephotos.com.mx/#/masotto/

Oh wow you are cutting it very close. You will only have the day before for the actual wedding planning with the coordinator. But I'm sure everything will still be perfect, from all the great reviews, these coordinators are pros! quote name="elsa s" url="/t/47576/dreams-riviera-cancun-brides-post-here-new-thread/11070#post_1895810"]My wedding is on April 30th and i leave on the 28th... I find it ridiculous how expensive the DJ is and if they charge an additions 15% over the 11% tax plus 300 an hour.... that's just a rip off but i guess we have no choice....

Elsa, Unfortunatly the package does not include the tax or the service charge on it, as for the DJ, i am pretty sure that it doews not include tax eaither. When is your wedding? I leave in less then a week and get married in 10 days!

Yes you will be there in my wedding day, I hope our paths cross. Maybe we can grab breakfast or lunch and you can give me some pointers. I hope your wedding goes without a headache and I'm sure you will look stunning. Can't wait to see the pictures!

Dominique, Thank you so much, I'm filling it out right now and sending it over to Georgina! The extra cost does suck, but it's worth it for me to get legally married in front of my parents! When are you getting married? quote name="Dominique 161" url="/t/47576/dreams-riviera-cancun-brides-post-here-new-thread/10980#post_1891041"]Vika.. I feel the same; I want one wedding day in front of my closest family and friends . I’ve been to legal weddings in Thailand, France, Portugal and Jamaica and i know a couple that have had a legal ceremony in Mexico. All beautiful weddings, no horror stories! All paper work and blood tests will done at the wedding meeting so you are not wasting your holiday time at meetings! All you need to do is email your wedding planner the legal marriage form (Ive emailed it too you) copies of your birth certificates. and the names of your 4 witnesses. Its been really easy. The only negetive i can think of is the extra cost. Hope this helps

Our parents live far away from us as do all of our close friends, I think this is why I started to get freaked out. When we sign out license, I want it to be I front if our families and not some rental/court provided witnesses.

Oh wow, your day is coming right up! Congrats! We might see each other, we arrive on the 22nd and get married on the 27th!!! My email is vika333@gmail

Would you mind sending me over the form I have to fill out so that I can just send it to the resort who out having to wait for some one to get back to me in 3 weeks lol. My email is [email protected]. I would really appreciate it! Thank you!

This was very helpful, thank you! So if we do t include our parents names, do our birth certificates still have to be translated into Spanish?

Thank you, I just emailed Georgina, fingers crossed to get a response sometime soon! I started to get really sad that I will have two separate wedding dates. One when I get the license and one my actual date. I don't think I want that.

Hi girls, I need help! I leave for Mexico in less then 3 weeks and just now changed my mind about the type of ceremony we will be having. We were originally going to a symbolic ceremony but now I want to have a legal one. Can you please tell me what are the steps for that, what do I need to bring with me? And how do I go about translating it into English or how do I take that marriage license and make it legal in the US??? I already know about the blood test, it's more about all the paperwork needed, I saw somewhere that you have to bring a birth certificate, does need to be translated into Spanish? Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much in advance!

OMG...Today is exactly a month before my wedding!!!! I can not wait already!

Here are the prices given to me by the spa. Hope this helps. Hairstyle $66usd Hairstyle short (above shoulders) $55usd Make-up $55usd We offer a 15% discount to the bridal party if minimum 6 ladies take hairstyle and make-up. In order to make a reservation for you and your guests, could you please provide me the follow information: quote name="tiffany0613" url="/t/47576/dreams-riviera-cancun-brides-post-here-new-thread/10860#post_1884433"]Another question, we are planning on paying for the hair, makeup, and a mani or pedi for the bridesmaids the day of the wedding. Â We are supposed to get a 15% discount on services with the Ultimate package. Â Shouldn't this appy for all of the services for the bridal party since it is being billed to our room and not theirs? Â We have stayed at other Amresorts before and whenever we did ANY type of service at the spa or salon we were allowed to use the hydrotherapy circuit. Â Dreams is telling me $43 per person for us to go the day of the wedding even though we are spending so much money there! What are the rest of you planning on doing the day of your wedding? Â We were planning on the girls spending the day at the spa. Â I'm starting to feel so ripped off with things!

Hi ladies, haven't been here in a while with the hectic schedule of tax season and wedding planning. I have a question for previous brides or brides to be that inquired about this. I wanted to see more pictures or videos of the fantasy island wedding reception? I had el Patel restaurant already all book for a private event but my fiancé showed interest in the fantasy island setup. Any information will be helpful. Thanks. Happy planning!

It's the balcony outside of the desires lounge (the night club) that's where I'm having mine cocktail hour. I heard some girl saying that she was told they are not using this for cocktail hour anymore, I will through I fit because they confirmed my locations. Fingers crossed.
