HI Ladies, does anyone know the form of payments accepted? I have so many emails I cant find the info.... I just checked with my bank and they charge 3% international fee on all transactions so paying for the wedding in full by card would trigger a hefty fee. but my finacee is nervous about carrying all that cash on him so I was wondering if any of you know does the resort accept travelers checks? thinking maybe I could get a travelers check for the majority estimate and then bring the rest cash

HI Shelli! my wedding coordinator is Ayahamint and everything is going pretty good just counting down the days, how is your planning? that's so exciting we will be down there the same time, i'm sure we will run into each other

HI Ladies I haven't posted on here in a while but I am getting my paperwork together for the 3 month send in. I have a couple questions I haven't seen answers to while reading throughout all the posts. I have about 70 people coming for my wedding and opted to do the buffet because I did not like many of the meal options. 1.)does anyone know does the buffet include all the options listed? or do I have to pick items? 2.)also I unhid some of the rows in the budget planning form and found that there was an option for Sushi bar as well, has anyone done this and know how much that is? 3.) I also saw an option for an ice sculpture, has anyone ever had that? if so what are your thoughts and do you know any pricing. 4.) I originally wanted 5pm for my ceremony on the beach but they said that wasn't available and gave me 6pm, will it be dark by then? my date is May 4,2014.

HI Ladies, i see some of you are having the problem with wanting the pool deck but not having enough people that stinks! i am having a similar problem and was hoping one of you might know the answer. when i initially put my deposit in i told them i would have definitely 50 people but i think more. they told me they would book me on the pool terrace. turns out i am looking at about 70+ people now coming and i emailed my WC and havent received a response either. i am a May 2014 bride but i am a little nervous because i know the pool terrace is only equipped to have about 50 people and i dont everyone to squished in that area. i want to make sure that i can put a hold on the pool deck and wanted know if anyone has run into the same problem? would they only guarantee it after people book thier rooms and they know there are more then 60 people coming? thanks!

Savanah, this is great! i love all your ideas and you do not miss a single detail, i will definitely be utilizing this to help with everything especially all the vendors you used from Etsy, i love Etsy and have been marking things as favorites for a while now. thanks so much

HI Ladies can anyone explain what the difference between the pool deck and pool terrace are? i was told i had to have at least 60 people for the pool deck which i think i will but since i didnt know my total headcount when reserving they placed me at the pool terrace. from looking at a lot of your pictures it looks like the pool deck is more of a hit. is the pool terrace by the seaside grill? i was trying to figure this out from pictures but could not. thanks!

Thank you Lori and Savs all your information was helpful and beautiful pics Savs!

Hi Emily, I am considering doing the lights under the table and want to know, did you just have the basic white tablecloths or colored ones? i figured if doing the lights then i should stick with the white tablecloth included. also the wedding package comes with meals etc for 20 people but silly question, does that include the table? i know i will pay for the amount of people over 20 for food but do i also pay to have extra tables set up? i like your set up idea and was going to have the paper laterns and lights under the table as well. thanks!

Hi Everyone, i have been reading this site for about a month as i was trying to get in contact with someone from Dreams Riviera Cancun about having my wedding there. After complaining to my travel agent a couple times, i received a phone call from DRC but the problem is i couldnt understand the name of the person who contacted me. i asked a couple of times and still couldnt figure it out so i just went on becuase i felt like i had so many questions and wanted to get the most out of my call since i know its impossible to get a hold of them. over the phone we decided on a date for me May 4, 2014 to have a beach wedding at 6pm and then the pool terrace/deck for the reception since i said i may have over 60 people. she told me she would reserve this for me and email me the forms to lock this in definitely once i sent my deposit. she said her holding my reservation is only good for a week but i still havent received any email from her yet! its making me nervous as the original date i wanted was booked with 4 weddings already so i do not want to lose this date as well. i went online and filled out the wedding request form, is there anything else i should do? or is there any email address that they actually respond to? thanks!
