Iberostar Paraiso Wedding Roll Call

[bambaleo]

I'm not sure what's in the Gold Star package...I think ours had the words Dream and Blessing in it or something like that. Our reception was in the Tapatio restaurant and no dance floor was needed, the regular floor is good. As for DJ - it depends on what DJ you hire so the hotel doesn't exactly charge you for a DJ - you find one if you want one...they probably have a list of preferred vendors...or ask for suggestions on this forum.

You can hire your own makeup artist - I just went with the spa they have onsite, thinking they would have their own makeup artist - but my makeup artist turned out to be the same person that did my hair. She is hired out by different hotels in Cancun/Riviera Maya - so I think that's even better than having a permanent person at the hotel!

I was thinking of doing my makeup through the hotel. Were you happy with how it turned out? Its only 90$ which is much less than the quotes I got from outside vendors.

Does anyone know if you go with the Gold Star Wedding package how much extra it would cost to upgrade to get the private reception dinner and open bar for 4 hours? Also wondering how much they charge for a dance floor and DJ? - has anyone else done this?  Thanks!!

Hello ckl22, 

 

I just e-mailed my WC at Ibero Beach and she quoted me 250 for a dj setup. We are hooking up a playlist from an ipod and letting that play throughout the night (to avoid bad music). I believe a mic and the speakers are included. Music is a big part of our lives and we are trying to avoid the chicken dance and other wedding songs.

Yeah she did a great job with makeup. It stayed on all day and all night. I brought my own eyelashes and she put them on. My face didn't look caked on, so it seems their beauty products aren't too bad.

I would definetely double check the mic and speakers situation, because depending on how many people you have and which venue you're using, the speakers that are included might not be enough - you might need to rent extra speakers/subwoofers/etc. I think they provided us with 1 wireless mic, but could be good to bring your own backup just incase.
