AWWW happy 10yr anniversary @@RAENJAY and @@TammyWright cant wait to see how your anniversary plan unfolds. Congrats ladies.

@@sittingpretty a lot of brides actually do the legal part before going for their DW and having a symbolic ceremony. I personally wanted to do the same thing when I got married , but I didn't have enough time. I would say do what makes you comfortable. Happy Planning!

@@Cablelove11 the best part about taking them is also that everyone is willing to help take care of the kids , I took my child to my DW wedding and everyone helped. of-coarse on the wedding night she did a sleepover with her cousins. Happy Planning!

@@WPGBride17 you have received some great tips from @@calgarybride2015 and @snswedding2016 to help you get started. other important thing is to make use of everything that is included in your package. if you are having bridesmaids. reuse their bouquet as your centerpieces. DIY most of your decor and bring it with you. Happy Planing!

@@Emilychristine92 Have you looked at some of the non resort locations in cabo, to see if they work with your budget? Also keep in mind most all inclusive resort would require that minimum of 80% of guests stay at the resort you are planning to use for your wedding. I have some short videos which address some of your questions https://www.youtube....PXy_d-JFIwi9kCw Happy Planning! Joyce

Hey @@Emilychristine92 welcome tot he forum, I always ask brides t mention what they mean with cheap resort, this is means different numbers for everyone. Do you have a specific number or price that you would be happy to pay? Please follow link, I have some short videos which address some of your questions https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDq2GTMrPXy_d-JFIwi9kCw Happy Planning! Joyce

@Rhonda3839 One thing a lot of people get surprised with is a how everything is so spread out with the country. 1. A safari is a must, do a minimum of 4 days (kruger national park a must) make sure you go for an elephant ride. 2. Cape town for wine tasting, table mountain, visit robin Island 3.Knysna 4.White shark cage diving 5. get a taste for some local cuisine 6. Sun city. 7. Zulu land in Durban. Exchage money at the airport. south africans dont use USD with the country, its not easy to find places to exchange. Ok I could go on. you will have an awesome time for sure.

@@TXZach I like that you are saying "I think we're making a rash decision" the media is powerful, and things always look worse than they already are. unless you dont here from a person who is currently living in Puerto Rico or who just traveled there.its going to be difficult for you to convince him. maybe advice him to wait for 1 month more and then decide. Goodluck

@@AmberDee 6pm is the time we suggest for our summer weddings, why? you will get some beautiful sunset picture.sun starts to set around 6:35pm so you will have a cooler ceremony. it gets dark around 7:30pm. September has no major school holiday, so nope, its actually low season resorts are not at a 100% occupancy. Happy Planning! Joyce

@@sassylouxx I agree with @@snswedding2016 you definitely want to arrange this with the resort coordinator. usually the dont charge if its just for a short time. Happy Planning

@@MrsGuralewycz2B, You have plenty of time until October, with the right team of professionals you will be fine. I cannot think of any cons about working with a TA just as @@TammyWright mentioned. When it comes to working with a travel agent, find someone who specializes in Destination Wedding. The can help you narrow down your options, based on what on your requirements. Also find someone who you feel is a perfect fit for you, you will be trusting them with such an important occasion. They can get you a some special group rates. They also offer more benefits for your for the Bride and Groom for booking your group. Most bride who work with with travel agent are able to put their focus on the booking the resort part. while you put your focus planning the wedding. Happy Planning!

@@Happiegerl I have done weddings at many resorts in the Riviera Maya. I must those are pretty common prices at some of the Resorts here. I must say there is a huge stigma about Destination wedding in Mexico, saying its affordable! Truth be told ,Destination Wedding are not always affordable. one key factor decide on where you are going to put your money. For example find out the type of dance floor they are charging you for that price? maybe you might want to reply to the coordinator checking the type of dance floor they offer. you might just be offered a second option. Same goes for the chair, what type of chair is it? you might find out that they are charging you a chair based on latest wedding trend. Happy Planning!
