Thanks Jesmcan for the info from Ivan!

Hi Ottawa Bride! Thanks for sharing your invitations! I love them! I thought all the information you provided was great! Quick question: When did you send out the invitations? How far in advance? I was thinking of skipping the save the date, and just sending out ALL the info including an invitation about 10 months in advance... then I would send a pre-travel letter to all the guests attending... Is that similar to what you did? THANKS!

I have kept all my emails and confirmed that we get what was quoted, but man it is just so much work to get something that was promised and then you have to watch out for every charge they "could" get you for. Once again for those who have gotten married - any tips on what should be in writing before heading to the resort for the wedding? Were there any charges that you did not know about ahead of time? I am really excited for the wedding, just trying to make sure I understand the total cost....I guess that is what I get for being a financial analyst Hi girls, I am also planning a wedding at The Royal in July 2010 and curious about the DJ option. Questions below if anyone knows the answers that would be awesome!! 1) If you do not go with a DJ, is there a sound system to hook up an Ipod to? Also, what is the "standard" dance floor that comes with your package if you do not book a DJ? 2) What are Ivan's rates? with and without a dance floor? THANKS!!

I've been reading a lot of your posts and you have answered so many of my questions! Thanks! Quick question: I noticed that your wedding date was this July. I am thinking of our wedding for July or August 2010 because we're both teachers and have summers off. What was the weather like in July? Does this area of Mexico have a hurricane/rainy season that you have to worry about? Was it really hot? Should the time of the month effect my decision for a date? Thanks so much for your help!

Hi Royal Brides, My name is Angie and I'm new to the forum! I am also thinking of a desti at The Royal next summer. I'm traveling to Playa del Carmen in 2 weeks to do a site visit. I've been reading all 144 pages of forum chat and I'm so much more informed and excited to start planning a wedding at The Royal! Thanks so much for all of your insights! I'll be at The Royal in two weeks if anyone wants me to ask any specific questions or report back to to the forum let me know! -Angie

I forgot to include my info! My name is Angie and I am planning a desti for July 2010 in the Rivieria Maya area. I am going to look at The Royal Playa del Carmen and a few Palace resorts in 2 weeks. Hopefully after the trip we will have chosen a resort and confimed a date. -Angie

Hi all! I'm new the forum but I've been reading lots of threads and getting great tips and advice! Thanks!
