What are the prices they are quoting you is you don't mind sharing

My WC is Maritza, I like her a lot but sometimes she forgets to send me what she promised. I have a question for those that used outside vendors. Do you guys think that they were less expensive, even after paying the outside vendor fee for each? Thanks, Luz
  4. It's confirmed, i am having my wedding at the Royal August next year, the deposit has been paid. As you might remember from my previous post i will be having a religious ceremony in the Catholic Chapel on Quinta Avenida. I am also having my reception in the Gazebo Garden. I want to run by you guys my idea on the set up to see what you guys think. So, my plan is to set up dinner tables in the pave area directly in front of the gazebo (not sure exactly how, because don't have a wide view of the are to do a diagram). I want to set up the dance floor inside the gazebo (not sure if it has been done before). Around the dance floor i want to lay a couple of lounge furniture. I know i wont be able to fit that many, but i am ok with that. In the grassy area, right next to the gazebo, i want to set up the rest of the lounge furniture and called it the hukka bar (my family likes smoking hukka... i will be bringing the hukkas from the states if possible). I wan to decorate the gazebo with hanging paper lantern and something that reflects light (not sure what that something is). What do you guys think of my plan? Is it Doable? Also any suggestions on the decoration of the gazebo? I don't want to make it too heavy, as i don't want my decorations to take away from the view of the beach. All inputs are greatly appreciated, as i think that only you guys can give me constructive input as many of you already been there done that. Am i in over my head Thanks, Luz

I am SO excited about a destination wedding, getting our two families together for a few days and of course...the light up dance floor! Anyone out there doing a Catholic ceremony or know of resources/links to figuring out all things Catholic-related for PDC ceremonies? I have not been marry yet, but will be having a Catholic wedding August next year. what specifically do you want to know? I know that you need to go to wedding orientation at your church, it usually runs for a few hours (which you can split in different days, but it depends on the church). You do this in the states as it will be difficult to do there. In turns the priest will give you paper work stating that you meet the requirements to have a catholic wedding. You need to bring this letter with you, or else you can not have a catholic wedding.
  6. Good afternoon ladies, Hope everyone had a great fourth of July. I had a great one and took a little break out of wedding planning. I am only starting and needed it. NI will now go and catch up with all the reading. Luz
  7. Jesmcan, sory for calling you Jill before. Anyway, can i ask what make you choose the Royal over the Playacar Palace?
  8. Thanks Jill for the quick respond. My thing is reception will not be on he beach. I am planning of having the reception in the Gazebo garden which is more private. I mean private in the sense that other hotel guess will be right next to us. I also will be having the ceremony in the chapel on quinta I guess it is too far away from the church. I only ask because dome people said it is right next to quinta avenida, i guess they were wrong. I love the Royal, i wanted to keep it in mind because it might be a little more affordable for my guests.
  9. Ok Ladies, I know i already said that i was set on having my wedding at the Royal. But the promotions going on at with the Palace Resorts are making me second guess myself. Anyway, my question is... Did any of those of you that went site seeing looked at the playacar Palace? I know the Palace Resorts have great reputation, but by looking at the pictures it does not seem that the there is no really private place to held my reception. What are your thoughts... it will be greatly appreciated as i am trying to get those invites ready asap. Thanks, Luz
  10. Thanks Jesmcan, I went from being super excited from being not so much. The problem is that besides my mother and my sister, no one is well traveled in my group. Aside from traveling back to our country (the Dominican Republic), no one has really been outside the states. They have no idea what prices are. Per example, I got some rates for the Gran Porto... $246 per nigh, double occupancy. I told this to some and they think it is too expensive. I tell them to think that they can pay $100 per night at a decent hotel, but they have to add food and drinks (which most are heavy drinker) and that those drinks can add up at $10 a piece. I will plan the wedding an try not to worry about it. I called my wedding planner at the Royal and she said that they are completely open to chance things if things come up once i get there. This gave me a piece of mind. Also, I saw that someone asked about the lighting, with no respond to that (either that or I missed it) What are the options? Thanks, Luz
  11. I knew reading all these post will be good, but now i am also very nervous. I am very afraid that some, if not most of my guest, will not be able to afford this hotel. Not even the Porto. Now i am driving myself crazy, on how i should do things> I am not sure i need a package, if most of the guest will not be staying t the resort. I am thinking that maybe, going a-la-cart might be less expensive, but not sure. I am so confuse. any suggestions, i am on the beginning stage of this, yet i am already getting stomachache about it. We will be doing this, alone, or with guest, but i would really like to have my love one with me. And ha stomache ve the reception that i already planned in my head.
  12. Thank you for the pics Jesmcan, I still can't remember where it is located, but I can now see that my ideas will fit perfectly in this space. After all my wedding is a small one. Thanks again, I have tones of question, but want to read little more before i do so i don't ask the same. I just found this site yesterday, and it will take a while to read the 500+ pages.
  13. Good afternoon ladies, I am planning on getting marry at the Royal August 20, 2011. I spent 10 days there last year and absolutely fell in love with the Hotel and Playa. I love Cancun, but Playa is my new favorite. Anyway, I will be getting legally marry in the state, don't want the hassle of test and all that once i am there and then having a religious ceremony (which, for us... i am Dominican it is really what counts). Anyway, I will get Marry in the church on 5th avenue and then have the reception in the Gazebo garden, which for some reason i can't remember where it is and how it looks. I do know though that it is more private and that is why i am choosing it. Have anyone had their reception there. My plans are to use the gazebo as the dance floor and our sweetheart table will be up there too, with some lounge furniture. Then the dinner tables will be situated surrounding the gazebo. I will have approximately 30 guests. I just started talks with Maritza over at the Royal and just came up with the entire set up within the last 2 days. My fiance says that he remembers where the gazebo is and that it really isn't as pretty as it looks in the pictures... is that correct? I have read most of the post here, but it will take a while to read all of them since it keeps growing on me. I want to thank all the brides who have taken the time to post their pictures and reviews, it really help all of those planning our dream day. Your weddings have been beautiful. I am so glad i found this site. Again, any information for the gazebo will be greatly appreciated. And pictures will be even more. I would like to see a long distance picture of it to see if i can remember. All i have found on the web is close up pictures of the gazebo, but i need to see the surrounding area as well. Thanks, Luz Also wanted to ask about a travel agent. I used to have one with Liberty travel, but had to fire her last year, after her lack of efficiency when planning our trip. I saw some of you guys mention some names, but not the name of the agency. Thanks, Luz
  14. Hi, My name is Luz, I am getting marry August 20, 2011 in The Royal Playa del carmen, MExico. Looking forward to meeting all you wonderful girls
