Yeah, a little extra sleep....  The biggest problem we see is brides who plan their wedding start time on Oct 31-Nov 7 PAST the scheduled sunset time and end up with a dark dark ceremony.  We always recommend starting at least 1 hr before the scheduled sunset.

What is sad, hotels (usually the all inclusive hotels) will not necessarily advise their clients of this because they are filling beds and find they loose a time slot after the time change because brides want sunset... imagine that

Awesome!  Your the 1st other bride i've seen on here getting married on 10/30.  Everyone says to me "halloween"?  But I don't care, hehehe. Secrets Maroma is awesome!  I'm getting married at the Royal Playa del Carmen.   Our ceremony is at 5, so about an hour before sunset?  We're getting so close!!!!

 

I printed out a little sheet to put in my OOT bags with the time change.  Hope it helps!
