 Jennifer!! So sorry to hear that!! That indeed does suck. Even after you told them to wait. That's a little inconsiderate. Hopefully it'll work out for the best. Definitely a hard situation to be in. I have my fingers crossed you can reschedule for an earlier time - but that means less time for you to get guests to book and all items finalized!  Definitely keep us posted!! Â

Hey Averie- my TA is actually from DestinationWeddings.com and I love her!! This site really depends on who you get - your dealing with an individual. PM me if you want her information. She's really great. She really helped me with an issue with The Royal. I cc her on everything and she's on top of what I want. She gave me alot of great recommendations for Mexico. I am in constant communication with her. Â Good luck!!

My vote is bachelorette party!!!

That's awesome!! YAY!!! I've heard alot of brides say they didn't pay a vendor fee for him if he stayed less than 3 hrs. You may want to check with your WC. As you know, we all get different asnwers. LOL...

Perfect!! Thanks for the info. Glad to know there are ways around that ugly fee! Absolutely!! I plan on going to my hometown salon, take tons of pics and then show them there. At least it'll ensure what I want and there's no misunderstandings.

LOL... I completely understand about being picky. It's your day and you want it to be perfect. I also contacted Norma from mac in cancun. She doesn't cost as much but I thought she did a great job on lady di and her wedding party. I'm considering buying some of their makeup and having them do a chart for where colors belong. I'm not into sharing makeup even if they clean their brushes. Â So for the flowers - as long as the resort doesn't set it up, then no vendor fee? Just want to make sure I understand it. That would be awesome. Â For hair I'm doing a trial run at their spa salon next spring to see if I like it. Trying to use as much as I can in my package since I've already paid for it.

Hi Ladies!! Â I'm interested in buying gold and dark plum colored chair sashes. If you have any for sale -please let me know. Wedding isn't until June 2011 - I'm estimating about 40-60 guests. I'm thinking of alternating the sashes on chairs. Â Thanks!!

Thanks for the assurance!! I keep checking my emails hoping to see a response. LOL.... You're wedding is literally around the corner!! How exciting!!! Keep us posted. Can't wait to see pics!! Â

I love all the ideas that I see for welcome bags and OOT bags but I'm not doing it for my wedding. We have between 40-60 guests coming and we decided to sponsor a group trip as a thank you for coming. Plus it's less stuff to carry and pack - for you and your guests. Â

So sorry to hear about that!! That is downright unprofessional. I hope you get this issue with them resolved. Luckily you were just in the beginning of planning. Keep us posted on your situation. If you want other recommendations, I hear the El Dorado is amazing - I have a friend who's attending a wedding there next thursday. When she gets back I can fill you in on how it went. Azul is another beautiful place and a new resort called Now Sapphire. I do know El Dorado is adults only. Azul may be as well. Not sure about Now Sapphire. Â Good luck!! Â

Tell me about it. I am really not a fan of that vendor fee!!! So glad Marvin is responsive. I need to email him myself. Who are you using for makeup? I'm having a hard time getting a response from Fernando with makeup pros.

I am addicted to tripadvisor. That's how I decided to have my wedding at The Royal. It was more positives than negatives and of course all the brides on here. So far I haven't heard any stories about a horrible wedding. knock on wood! Â I've read that too. I've heard that the smell goes away and that near the pier is where it's mainly rocky. But someone said if you walked down a few ways it's pretty nice. Â Lisa and RosiePosie - thanks for that scary update about the police. WOW!! I can't believe they can do that. I may have my guests group together so it's a large group and they can't single them out. Â

I'm getting married there June 16th. I don't think I've ever setup a basecamp. How do I do that? My WC is Andrea and I just email her. For any pressing issues my TA calls her and talks to her immediately. She generally emails back within the same day - sometimes a few hours later but at least she's responding. Â Definitely call. I know September and October is a busy month for them with early fall weddings.

Hi JoZee84! You should be able to view their website as long as you have Flash. I looked today and was able to see great pieces. Click on Disenos (designs) and you will see a menu in english. Definitely beautiful work. Â

Perfect! Thanks for that info Jesmcan. How much is he charging for candles? Thanks!! Â
