Felicidades and welcome to the forum!! I've actually known several brides who have receptions back home after their destination wedding for those friends and family who can't make it - they usually have a slideshow presentation of the wedding or video clips and I think it's a fab idea .

She have been helping me work out all of the details and has been been on the ball about everything. I only hope the ceremony goes as well as all the planning has gone, and I am confident that it will. The rooms were reasonably priced for our guests as well. We went through destinationweddings.com to book the package and coordinate travel for everyone.

I just did a site visit and I would echo what Liz said. They do have onsite photographers but Eva did say they allow outside photographers too. My family has a home right there in Puerto Morelos so I am familiar with the town and location. I saw some great photo opportunities at the resort and around town for a day after or TTD session.

hi Carmen,

 

welcome to the site!

 

congrats on your upcoming wedding and happy planning!!

 

we're having an AHR so we can celebrate with friends and family when we get back who can't come out with us....it's costing us a lot more but I wouldn't have it any other way

Hi H-Town Liz, I'm trying to get more info on El Cid, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of information from brides who had a wedding here. Can you give any insight to your experience? Specifically, I have concerns that there isn't much around El Cid to do and the resort seems small (only one pool - did your people get bored?)

Lastly, is the beach/sea as bad as people say it is?

Thanks!
