ROYAL PLAYA DEL CARMEN BRIDES: were kids allowed for the day? ...and other questions

Wow Tighty your pictures are amazing! Everything looks wonderful.

 

So glad to hear that I can schedule a hair trial at the salon. I am def going to do this!

 

Congrats on such an amazing wedding and thank you so much for all the great advice. Can't wait to see more pics what a tease lol

 

Hi Tighty,

 

Did you have to pay a $100 fee to bring in your own photographer then pay for them as a guest? I just got incontact with Kim in Florida for Real resorts, and that is what she is telling me...seems kinda strange.

Thanks, loanmao!

Re: the photos at night, I think that might have been the photographer experimenting with the photos (to make them look a bit grittier/journalistic) but I can't say for sure.

After Elizabeth posted the teasers, she sent me a link to our slideshow and gallery and there are tonnes of photos at night without the grainy look.

I'll post a link to the slideshow here so you can have a look at the difference.

Thanks, jesman! When it's closer to your wedding, ask your WC to book your trials at the salon for you in advance. They get really busy and fill up quickly!

Hey cinny726!

What Kim is telling you kinda makes sense, I think. They have a policy for outside vendors to pay $100 to get on the property. Kim mentioning you have to pay the photog as a guest probably means (and I'm guessing here) that you have to cover the vendor's meal. Since they aren't a paying guest of the resort, they can't eat at the restaurants.

In my situation, it was in our photographer's contract that I cover one night's accommodation for her near the resort. I determined that it was more expensive for me to pay the hotel stay, plus the vendor fee, plus a day pass for the photog and her assistant.

Instead, I booked the photog one night's stay at the resort. Doing this, I didn't have to pay the day pass/guest meal 'cause the photographer was able to get dinner at the resort restaurants and I didn't have to pay a vendor fee because the photographer was a 'guest' of the resort.

I hope this helps.

Here's the link to our slideshow! If you're going to view this at work, you might want to lower the volume on your computer.

Cheers!

Thanks for sharing your pics!! They are beautiful!!!!!

I noticed in the gazebo that there was no red carpet...have they stopped using that or did you just not want to use it?

I'm wondering if I should or shouldn't...as I think my color scheme might involve pink and it will prob clash...

Does anyone know how much flower centerpieces cost for the tables at the receptions? I keep asking but my coordinator never answers!

 

Thanks!

Hey jaxsebridetobe!

the red carpet came with our package but we opted out of using it; I didn't like the look of red against our colour scheme of blue, green, and yellow.

If you want an aisle runner in another colour, you'll need to bring your own; the don't have any other options.

Thanks Tighty! Your slide show is beautiful by the way...I love the blue and yellow together!
