Hello! My name is Laura and I just got engaged on Christmas Eve in front of my whole family... it was so perfect! My fiance Shawn and I have decided we would like to get married in the Rivera Maya area, but are still trying to decide on a place. We have been looking at the Dreams Tulum, Dreams Riviera Cancun, Barcelo Royal Palace, Azul Beach Hotel... It is so hard to decide! Any suggestions? We hope to get married in January 2011 or maybe June 2011... if I cant get the time off in January. How strict are they about getting there 3 or 4 days before the wedding?

hi Laura,

 

welcome to the site

 

congrats on your upcoming wedding and HAPPY PLANNING!

I think it's a legal requirement, not just a resort requirement. You might look into a symbolic ceremony instead of a legal, then I think you only need to arrive about 2 days before and do the legal biz back in the states

 

Congrats and Welcome!

Congrat's Laura! We decided to do just a symbolic wedding in mexico due to all the legal requirements of doing it there. We will probably just run to the court house a day or two before we leave! This is the place to be to help decide on the resort. I had NO clue beofore I started reading all the great information!
