I still don't know that answer either. =( I am doing a legal ceremony!

[lexibride]

I'd love to know too. We are doing the legal ceremony and have the luxury package and know nothing about the music and if they have song choices, etc....

 

I'd love some ellaboration on the ceremony music if anyone has it!

There was not a lot of information on this forum about the hotel we stayed at and were married at but The Gran Porto Real was awesome!! I would definetly go back there again and everyone we brought with us said the same thing. The location was the best that I had been to in my 3+ trips to Playa. You girls will not be sorry you chose these hotels to be married in. Lots to do since we just got back today but feel free to ask me any questions and I will try and answer any I can. =)

That's so great to hear! Congrats!!!
Thanks so much for coming back and offering your info and help!

For those using DJ Ivan... are you making a list of songs for him to play or are you just going to trust him and trust he'll play a good selection?

Hey ladies!

 

I've been trolling around here for way too long so I thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Nikki and I'm getting married at The Royal on October 10th. I'm a little concerned about the time of there ceremony. It's supposed to be 6pm but I would like to move it forward. Does anyone know what time the sun sets in October? I don't want to miss the sunset but don't want it to get dark too soon or worse, during the ceremony.

 

Thanks so much in advance! Everyone has been SO much help already!

welcome, it's great to have you here! you'll find answers to TONS of your questions in this thread - and then some!

i'm not sure about the time of sunset in october, but 6:00 is when they told me for may. so i would guess that it would be just a bit earlier later in the year. your WC should be able to advise you on the time of sunset. and, if you're having your reception on the beach too, they use tables that are lit from underneath and tiki torches. i'm looking forward to my reception after it's started to get dark out.

good luck, and happy planning!

I am a music nut so I'm putting together songs that are "must play" and songs we want for all of our dances, cutting the cake, garter toss, etc. and then just letting him wing the rest.

I posted a couple weeks ago asking about the DJ/music because the song list I received was, well, not good. Ivan said that list is old, they are getting a new one together, but that they have anything and everything and have wireless download so if someone requests something or if you want a song played they don't have they can download it on the spot for you. He said he can also use CDs if you have them or iPod.

Hope that helps!

On another note....wedding is in 15 days and I still have NOT EVER been in contact with the Mexico WC...Angie told me Zulma was my WC and I have emailed her twice with no response. I have sooooo many unanswered questions that are carried over from Angie never answering them and now I can't get ahold of Zulma!

I know it's all this "be patient, it will be awesome when you're down there" but there is stuff I need to know, like about the ceremony musician!!! I have the same questions a few of you have, like do we have songs to choose from or what?! Or just say, "Hey play this" the day of and hope they know it?? Haha. We're also doing civil ceremony, and I have no clue what songs to put where.

julie,

 

i'm the day after you and i haven't heard back from my mexico WC either. i only got the contact name from my FSIL, who had gotten it from angie. angie hasn't passed me along just yet, it seems. i sent the mexico coordinator (denys) an e-mail but have not heard back yet. so you're not alone!

[Lady_Di]

I hope you hear from her soon, Julie!

 

I am so happy that I am having the outside florist doing flowers for me...he is only charging $140 for the huppa flowers where the royal is charging $500!!! I just can't believe how expensive the royal services are.
