PS - I'm debating what to wear under it!  Did you wear any bustier or anything?  I think I might just wear undies!

Thank your that info. I too received that same email. I was a little bummed being that I heard so much about Evangelina. I feel a little relieved that you got a chance to meet her.

We're having our reception on the pool deck - the wooden area by the infinity pool. You can also have your reception on the pool terrace, in one of the restaurants, or the beach.

 

If you google Dreams Riviera Cancun Wedding Photos alot of different slideshows will come up and you can see the different options That's how I figured out what I wanted!

 

 

 

Thanks Savs1027 for the information. I will take a look at google. We will be staying until the 12th of December. :-)

Just having  your own bar was worth it to me. 

 

My family booked regular ocean view room and ended up with a great view and we snuck them into preferred club so they could drink there with us. 

 

I wont be doing a full review since I had such a small wedding and only had the ceremony to worry about but Ill answer any questions and I will post my slideshow.

 

 

 

 

 

Hi Amanda,

How much extra is it to book the preferred club??

Amanda,

You look stunning! I love your colors! Did you bring your own sand and sand ceremony stuff or did that come with your package? Also, did you use the salon at the resort to get your hair done? 

[Amanda Kirby]

Thank you so much. I brought my own stuff for sand ceremony. The blue sand is from Michaels, the white sand from the beach and I found the little bottles with corks at Hobby Lobby. They were much smaller and lighter than the kits I saw so it was better for packing. I did my own hair and makeup, (my sister did the braid).

 

For the Preferred Club Im not sure how much extra, we booked through CheapCaribbean, maybe $150 for the week??

Amanda,

 

Your wedding was beautiful! I LOVED your hair!!! It is so nice to see someone who had a small, intimate wedding... My fiancee and I are only having 6 guests. I would love to see pictures from your reception. If you don't mind me asking, do you feel that the overall cost of the wedding was fairly low? I'm just wondering because I still have not received an estimate of the total cost of our wedding.

 

 Congratulations on your marriage! I wish you and your husband a lifetime of happiness

2 weeks till we leave!! So excited! What time is everyone having their ceremony?

[Amanda Kirby]

Tiny, We did the free wedding by staying 7 nights in the Preferred Club Ocean View so it made the whole trip even better. I think the pictures cost as much as the wedding would have and thats all we paid for. We just went to dinner right at 6 as a group and had Yamina bring the cake there so we didnt have to pay extra. My sister braided my hair and I did the rest. 

 

 

Thank you for the kind words.
