Wedding Date?? Nov 07

wedding location??

 

Hi ladies I am sooo glad this site exists. We have not picked a location yet and we would like to get married the week of Thanksgiving. Many of the dates are already taken. We are considering Los Cabos, Aruba or Paradise Island or ? My Fiance would like a place with Casino's and I have already veto'd Vegas however it is still a possibility since many of the resorts have not responded to my requests.

I have reserved wed. 21st of Nov. But I have not received confirmation for Riu Palace. I love the resort and have seen many pics. Prices are not clear for extras. Like the bonfire etc. I would like the Royal Package apps. dinner open bar and dj. I have requested the Gazebo for the ceremony and not sure about reception location. Any ideas?

Hi Jolene, welcome! Is there anything else specific that you are looking for aside for a casino? Do you want an AI? Will kids be traveling with you? Let us know how we can help.

I am having my reception at the mexican terrace. A private party is 500 dollars extra. The food is included, but an open bar is 10 per person/per hour. If you want to send me a private message with your email I can send you some pictures and info that I have received. I think appetizers are 7 per person, I am having a cocktail hour between the ceremony and the reception. How many people are you planning on having.

Welcome! I'm getting married at dreams cancun, so not much help with Riu, but let me know if you have any other questions!

We are estimating 20-30 people. (hopefully) How do you know how many will come? How have all of you estimated the number of guests? Resorts want to know a number and how many rooms? I wont know until i set the date and send out save the dates. We would like all inclusive but it is not a necessity. Many friends said they will go where ever and when ever we decide. Yet others are concerned with expense. No save the dates until I lock in a location. Hopefully i will hear from Riu in Cabo soon. Do you recommend using a TA or corrdinator to assist with bookings for guests etc.?? It is all overwhelming.
