I'm awaiting their email reply on that. Where did you do the reception at if you don't mind me asking? I am getting married on 11/6/09 at the Del Mar and I hired Sascha Gluck from cancunphotos.net. Some of the girls on this thread have used him and I really liked his work.

Does anyone know how far downtown Play Del Carmen is from the Del Mar? Also, how much the cab ride would cost about? Thanks!

El Spa is located in the shopping centre and provides all of the bridal services. I think it's terrible that there is so much confusion on the pricing. Hopefully they get this figured out for all of you. The Spa prices are just a little different than the sheet the WC sents you. Did you use the price sheet from the WC or did you go with what the Spa had listed when you were down there? Thanks

I just don't know what to tell my guests and my one bridesmaid for price. My e-mail is [email protected] Thanks so much, Noel

I'm a little confused on the prices for hair. I'm getting married 11/6/09 and I was sent a sheet for 2009 prices a few months back that says $140 US for brides hair and $110 US for bridesmaid. I also requested a copy of the Spa prices and those prices show Special Occasion hair 690 pesos which is about $69 and Brides 790 pesos which is about $79. Does anyone know which price is correct?? Thanks, Noel

I know how nerve racking it is to plan all of this from so far away but it all turns out just great. Many thanks to the other brides I talked to - Sarah and Stephanie - you guys were fantastic. Our WC, Martha was great. In the beginning of the process you do not e-mail a lot with each other but rest assured that she is a total pro and knows what she is doing. The ceremony, flowers, music, reception (cocktail and final) were exactly what we wanted. We did the programs ourselves (I saw some questions about this). We made paddle fans. Cancun Studios, Agustin Murillo, is amazing to work with. We did our TTD and 8 hours of wedding pics with him. My best to you all who are getting married at Iberostar. It will be fantastic! Glad everything worked out! What did you put on your paddle fan? Thanks, Noel

I haven't contacted her since then. I was working with Lily and she was great. This lady is not! I am just worried that my "Wedding Details" aren't confirmed. Are you worried about your resort being closed on your wedding day? I read on Iberostar-board.com and tripadvisor that Del Mar and Beach are closed for the month of September. I'm wondering when they will open back up? I did not hear about the resort being closed! hummm..not worried yet, I would assume they would just upgrade us if need be. I hope! Yikes! I will have to research more.

I emailed her and asked if she was getting my emails because she hadn't responded to any of my questions, she answers "Don't be nervous, everything is fine". It is not fine!!!! She doesn't actually answer questions when she actually does respond, all she does is copies & pastes the information from the price list that I have! Has anyone else had issues? I posted about this before, but it is getting worse as the time gets closer- I have less than 3 months until the wedding! Are you still feeling issues? I am dealing with Karla and she has been getting back to me withing 2 to 4 days. I hope you are having better luck. Noel

Any ideas on what to put on the wedding ceremony programs??

Did anyone use the Hotel Salon to do your hair? Do they do a good job? Also, if you did not use the Hotel Salon, who did you use? Thanks, Noel

Bess Thanks for the website, I will check it out. I picked the steakhouse as well. We are having 27 people. Do know if there were any extra charges for reserving the resturants? Thanks

We had the bar in there, the cake and dancing. We did the first dances and then had a balst! It was nice having the bar in there...we did lots of tequila shots. Are you seeing a theme here? Picasa Web Albums - bessbo2004 - Mexico Weddin... Where was your dinner at? Also, where did you get your sandframe from? Cute idea. Thanks, Noel [email protected]
