Hello Emma, I am assuming that you will be having a civil ceremony: here are the requirements for a legal ceremony in mexico. Copy of the passport and tourist card ( its issued at the airport) Divorce papers if applicable Blood test for HIV and Health Certificate must be done in mexico within 7 days before the wedding 4 witnesses must be over 18 and be present for the ceremony in order to sign the marriage certificate (we need their passport copies) Completed application form ( we can fill that out for you) the ceremony can be performed both in english or spanish Once Legally married, you will receive a certificate, but the legal act called Acta de Matrimonio, will be send to Chetumal the capital of the State in order to be annotated. Once we receive the authorized copy we will send it to you via DHL Usually takes 3 weeks maximum. As a couple and your witnesses are obligated to be 4 working days in mexico before the wedding The ceremony takes about 20 minutes maximum. if you need us to get you the 4 witnesses this will have an additional cost. Hope this helps! Happy Planning Joyce

Hello AdreaBru, Welcome to the forum, We are wedding planners in the Riviera Maya, to answer your question we have very few professional vendors that offer fireworks, I know Grand Velas will have their preferred vendor. you are going to love the hotel, and their service is just out of this world. Feel free to reach out and we will be happy to help. Happy site visit!

Just to add my opinion or how I handle reviews, I am wedding planner here and you will find a number ofmy reviews on this site mostly 5 stars. what I usually do with all my past bride, I ask them to write their experience they had with us, not offering any discount, in fact non of my preferred photographers would offer anything extra for a review. We all take pride in doing our work and make sure we deliver services that is expected of us. most cases once brides are done with wedding planning they just dont write reviews. what you can do is ask your top 3 photographers for reference of actually brides to chat with. This will help you keep your mind at ease. This forum is one of the few pages I know that keep it so real! You know when you have found a photographer that fits your requirements plus budget.

This is a cute Idea travelgal78, Actually one of my past bride what they did at the ceremony instead of a sand cereomy was a margarita on the rocks. we prepared everything that needed to go in the margarita and just before preparing it the both mothers handed them the tray to them just before the cereomony. it was so cute and different!!
