Hello, I think Barcelo Palace is much nicer than all the rest. Good Luck!

Hello all, Thank you for all the great ideas!

I'm also using Yazmin. I'm agree with you, she's great!

Hi, I'm using Yazmin De La Mora and she is great.

They are a bit pricey but my wc says he (Paul) is one or the best one in the area.

Good Luck and von voyage!

It is a great idea for sure, one that all your guests would remember. We are currently thinking of the Fire Dancers. Hi RCBlondie, I found them through my wc Yazmin De La Mora - Weddings & Catering you can ask her directly, she's very nice and will offer great prices. good luck!

Hi, I am having a "Christian" ceremony and then a "mayan" or "cosmic" ceremony with Maria and Charlie (still not sure which one). For a "sand" ceremony (I'n not interested) my WC suggested Petra and for the "Christian" ceremony I'm having KIKO. She says he is the BEST Minister in the area and i really trust her. Hope this helps!

I am also getting married in June 2010 but possibly changing to december because of my family... I think June is a great month, sunset is around 7:30 pm. so you have enough day light for photos!

Getting a one week condo there is pretty inexpensive with the right resources. i.e. endlessvacationrenals.com or Holiday Systems International ownership just to name a few. Hi gdavcu I am possibly getting married in mayan palace and the grand mayan too! so far is my best choice since we don't have a time share they are offering really reasonable prices for my guests. which package are you getting?

Hello The Mayan Palace & The Grand Mayan they do 1 wedding per day.

For me the mariachi will be very mexican (but a bit loud for my german family) The trio is very romantic. It depends at what time you want them to play during ceremony, dinner or cocktail. good luck.

I have been dealing with Candy and although she is very nice, as all other places, the response time is not that great. But, I have been trying to adjust to it and am hoping for the best. Good luck with your planning! Pri The WC there (Candy) was great... good luck!

I am getting my room rates through my WC so far she is offering great prices for certain hotels.

Quote: Originally Posted by alkoch I am not sure about the pricing for wedding packages but the Mayan Palace in Rivera Maya is my favorite resort I've been too in Mexico/Caribbean. Its family friendly and very accommodating. It's also close to town and they have great restaurants and shops in town (once again my favorite town!) I would be getting married there but my FI's cousin tried to get married at the Iberostar in Rivera Maya in 2005 and they all got hit by Hurricane Wilma. We don't want everyone to obsess over than (which they still do) Anyway - good luck its a great area! Hi alkoch I'm happy to know that you are getting married at the Mayan Palace & The Grand Mayan. This is so far my FAVORITE resort too. I still looking but i think is the best offer (for me) of all the ones i review. it is classy, beautiful with great room rates for weddings and it seems the food and service is also awesome. Which package you choose?

I just got back from the Valentin with my fiance (where were got engaged!), and I would LOVE to have my wedding there, but we will have several children as guests, so it's out of the question, unfortunately. Here is what I'm hoping for my summer 2010 wedding: Budget friendly for my guests Ability to accommodate up to 75 guests Kid-friendly Nothing too cheap or cheesy (we were very spoiled at the Valentin!) I've been looking at the Iberostars, but I've been kind of overwhelmed by them, since there are so many, and I haven't quite figured out the class system. I'm loving Azul Beach, but I think it will be too expensive for guests. I'd LOVE any feedback you could give me-any suggestions for other hotels, pictures, etc. I'd love any info on pricing and packages-I would appreciate it so much! Thanks! Cait I LOVED the Mayan Palace & The Grand Mayan it is super classy and offer different wedding packages and great room rates for weddings. They are not an all inclusive resort (i prefer it) so there is no extra charge for day pass.

I still not sure but i got two options for the mayan riviera Fire works or "cold pyrotechnic" (if fire works are not allowed in your hotel) starting both from 500 usd. plus tax.

I asked the wedding coordinator to talk to her vendors but haven't heard back Hi ccone, This is one of my concerns because i am getting married in the rainy season (june) so i have asked my WC and she told me the price for a nice tent for 100 people will be around $2,000. good luck for both of us!

Thank you, Olya I was also in contact with them and were very good as well. Their info is Weddings in Playa Has Experienced Wedding Planners to Coordinate Destination Weddings, Receptions and Mayan Ceremonies in Playa del Carmen Mexico Hope this help!

I did not heard about this place and I love it. It is just a bit far from playa del carmen. Thank you everybody for this forum!

It was a wonderful desert but I have no idea how it looked before they cut it. Here are pictures of my wedding and reception. Dreamtime Images and my review that includes a link to my pictures of the area. PM me if you have any questions. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t41016 Oh Malisa! Your wedding was a COMPLETE DEAM! Beautiful.Congratulations.

We are visiting the place in August and will decide! Thanks.
