what time does the sun set in may? is 5pm wedding to late for pics?

[ERnurse]

Hey girls... I just wanted to know if the resort provides the music for the ceremony or if we have to bring our own.... If any of you used the resorts music, is it nice? And if any of you came up with your own do you mind sharing what you chose to walk down the aisle to and what played after you were pronounced husband and wife... and of course any suggestions you might have..

Welcome Laura!

 

I understand you are wanting a date the first week of may. I would suggest you keep your options open, because my wedding date is May 5, 2009 and when I booked the date this past March there weren't many May dates available. I believe maybe 5 or 6. Not to discourage you, because I would love for you to be DT bride, but keep an open mind,

 

By the way ladies, I recently realized I'm getting married on Cinco de Mayo!!! Has anyone been to DT during this time? What kind of activities do they offer to celebrate. I think it would be awesome if there were fireworks that night that my guests could enjoy.

 

I'm going to try and add my pic soon.

The resort has a CD with traditional music you can play during your ceremony. They will set up a CD player for you. But, you can also create your own CD and take it down with you. We are hiring a violinist and are compiling a list of music for her to play during the ceremony. One that will definitely be on the list is "Ave Maria". I love that song!

OOOOHHHH, and I was able to put up my avatar. It's of the dress I finally chose to wear!!

Cinco de Mayo isn't really celebrated in Mexico. It's more of an American holiday ( I know, wierd ) that was created by beer manufacturers to "sell a party". The mexicans won a battle on Cinco de Mayo but didn't gain independence until Sept. 16. That's when they are given a holiday and really celebrate! But who knows, maybe the resort will put on a show for you to cater to the American tourists who expect something.

For May it's around 7:15-7:25

Yes the resort can provide the music but they probably don't have much selection. They provided Canon in D for me (I was going to get the Caribbean trio but after watching another wedding that just used the speaker with Canon in D I decided to do the same) to walk down the aisle (and back with my husband after). I burned them a CD for a song for the signing of the certificate and 2 songs to play in the background during the toast and brief chatting afterwards before we started to take pics.

Hi!

If you go to the Dreams Website, under Entertainment, Special Events, you will see a list of Holidays that are celebrated at the Resort...

Cinco De Mayo:
"You will enjoy a complete day and evening of Mexican hospitality, traditional music, games, bright decorations, exciting games and live entertainment. The day will be topped off with a starlight barbeque dinner on the beach including a traditional Mexican celebration which features lots of Tequila of course!

Lucky You!

Our wedding is the day you come in so you are welcome to swing on in and give us a shout ( silent shout durring the ceremony ) and then you will have your first emursion into the wedding scene right then...

Looking forward to it being great fun... Hope the weather keeps being the way it has been

We are hiring the violinist for our ceremony. Is that when you are using them? Would you mind sharing your play list with me for the violinist, I've been trying to come up with one but I suck with music...
