Michelle,

 

Where did you have your reception? Right now we are trying to decide whether to have our reception at either the convention centre or the shopping centre...any advice?

 

Thanks!

Your right! Their responses are not consistant. Gabriella first told me you had to have at least 40 then 35 now like posted you can pay diff. She told me you couldn't rent out restr when I was looking into that. I'm glad that changed. Since I didn't think it was a option, i really didn't look into it. Why did you pick restr instead of tropical? I picked tropical because I wanted private reception and DJ.

 

Who are you having to do hair and make up?

I'm leaving Mexico on the 13th (wedding on the 9th). I can't believe how fast time as flown!!

Oh my gosh! You are leaving March 13th? So are you staying down ther for all that time? Wow! So did you say what your final plans are? How exciting! I am 4 months out and starting to get really excited! I can't imigine how it must feel to be that close! wow!

You can have a unity candle and music playing and you can have people do readings (as long as you keep them short). The ceremony is usually 20 minutes. Just thought it was some useful stuff to know since the wedding package document says you can't do any of this for the civil legal ceremony! They changed there rules!!!

Thanks for the warm welcome back and compliments girls, you're all too sweet!

I just wanted to add that dbellie is correct about ceremonies no longer being in Spanish. The entirety of my ceremony was performed by the judge who did it all in English....and she was really funny to boot, I loved her!

Hey Kristin,

I'm actually contemplating the same thing. Right now I have 50 guests confirmed which is slightly over the amount for the Vitrales room (which I was told 40 is the max). So, I'm considering the convention center... & maybe even the lounge set-up (depending on cost, of course).

For some reason, I think the convention center is located near the shopping center. I didn't realize they were two separate options for the reception. I think the shopping center is only available for the cocktail party. I definitely need clarification.

If I remember correctly, Michelle had her reception in the Los Vitrales room.
