We didn't get into until about 8pm on Tuesday and our wedding was Friday. We met with our WC (also had Jacqueline) on Thursday morning. I guess they do need time to get everything ready but I honestly wish we could have only had one real day in between arriving and the wedding. I was a little stress/anxious worrying about everything for the wedding and trying not to get burnt and drink too much before (haha) that I would have liked to have more time after the wedding to fully enjoy it with everyone. So..flying in Tuesday should be fine because that is what we did for a Friday wedding

The lobby bar would be great for a cocktail hour for drinks, food not so much. I only saw fruit, nuts, and popcorn out mostly, and late at night there were little sandwiches and desserts. But seriously the dinner is 4 courses and SO much food I don't think your guests would want to eat before and depending when your ceremony is they will have likely ate lunch not too long before. We had our ceremony at Playa Azul so it made sense to have the guests got to the pool bar near by and the reception was right next to that bar as well. I would say whatever bar is closest to your ceremony or reception site would work to send your guests for drinks. I wouldn't waste money on a cocktail hour for sure.

It is extra. Can't remember exactly but I think between $300-$400

We did a mini trash the dress on the beach at our resort and had our family/friends take pictures. So fun and very glad we did it!

We are back from the wedding of our dreams! Everything was seriously perfect and I am so happy to be married to my best friend:).
