@smspringer13 Go to back to this discussion board and start at 1 and read all the way through 27. You will get AAALOOOOT of info just on this board from 1 - now... Have fun! Tabby

Gotcha! Thank you, that makes sence. I can see how the terrace is on the site and when people walk though they are not where you are. Gotcha. I guess I am just worried people will think that its a hotel event and just walk over and what not... you know how some people do. Haha! But maybe I can ask the hotel for a Private Party Sign or something! Thank you T!

Hey Tanya, How are you???? You are always helping out all of the girls on this site, you are so nice. I have a question. My parents went to see PP a couple of weeks ago and she told me the CIELO BAR is right at the entrance from the hotel to the pool/beach. Wasnt it annoying having people come and go while you guys were having your cocktail hour? Or did they close that door for the other guests at the hotel? I want to have my cocktail hour there but not if poeple are coming and going right through my cocktail hour. Sounds terrible!

How exciting @SHARKYAK I am so happy for youuuuuuuuuuuu! Make sure to come back and share your amazing wedding with us! YAY!

Sure!!!

@ NOVBRIDE: [email protected] but she is going on vacation on friday for two weeks. So email her and cry to her and tell her you need to talk to your wedding coordinator ASAP because Mercedes does not help you at all and that you are freaking out....PLEASE HELP! Please refer me to someone that can answer my questions and help me ... she is great. Email her asap since she is leaving this friday! [email protected]: Tell her the same thing! I hope this helps!!!

@ Perry1217 and @ RMBride2B: Well, from what I heard from other brides that already got married at PP they say not to listen to the Miami office AT ALL and that most of the things they say are not true and that once you actually talk to someone at the PP things work totally different. You in fact are able to bring your own vendors (florists, photographers etc...) Miami is just going with the standard BS! Florist you can contact whoever and arrange for them to bring my the flowers, centerpieces etc the day off and just have someone meet them at the lobby and then give your flowers to your wedding coordinator at that time. Photographer, again you can bring your own you just have to either buy them a day pass or a room for the day so they are considered a "guest." They are ways around all of that, do not listen to Miami, they did and said the same things to me and they are not true!!!!! Yes, you can bring your own Florist. No, they cannot come inside of the hotel and walk around or set up. Yes, you have to meet them outside of the hotel or in the Lobby and arrange for your flowers to be given to your Wedding Coordinator. Miami office is just going with standard rules I think... so dont worry! I personally contacted [email protected] "Lorena" (got her email from one of the fellow brides that already got married at the PP) and told her that I am getting married at the Playacar Palace in May and even though it is months away my family and I are doing alot of planning and buying decorations and need answers. I also told her that we have blocked 20 rooms and are expecting 70-80 guests at the hotel and I came across some alot questions. I also told her that I was referred to her regarding questions I have regarding our wedding there. I also told her that I needed to speak to someone at the PP because I have sooooo many questions that just cannot wait until 3 months prior. I told her that I am stuck and need direction which the Miami office cannot provide me with and if there is someone I can contact at the PP in Mexico to get my questions answered. She then replied back and gave me a contact person who I then emailed and been going back and forth with ever since. So email her and see where that will get you. She is very good this lady and on point, she will definitely get you to the right direction. Just be patient and wait for her responds and then you can ask all of the questions that you desire to your contact person. I, myself asked so many questions that she told me that they are going to assign my wedding coordinator 4 months prior to my wedding instead of the 3 months. LOL! Yes, so email her first and say kind of what I underlines above, just tell her what you have booked your wedding, the date of your wedding, how many rooms you have secured or are going to secure, how many guests you are bringing so they take you serious and also tell her that you have too many questions that just cannot wait and need answers etc... She is very nice and will get back to you within 2-3 days I am sure.

Done, I send you the pdf attachments ... what else did you want me to send you?

Hi Sam, Not 100% sure yet but most likely a beach ceremony @ 6pm or maybe a different area at the hotel. Cocktail at the Cielo Bar @ 7pm. Reception in the Riviera Ballroom from 8-12am with the drapings that i put up in my previous post. We are also having a welcome cocktail hour and a dinner the night before (not sure where yet) and we will also have a newlywed breakfast the day after and a farewell dinner a couple days later for all of the guests that are still there... -Tabby

Ok Ladies... This is what I have found out so far from my contact person in Playacar Palace. Hope this will help! (These are questions that I asked and answers I got from the Hotel). 1. I am bringing traditional decorations for my ceremony and reception and wanted to know how that process works. Is there a charge/fee to set up our decorations and if so, what is the charge? We want to bring our own sashes for the ceremony chairs, our own flowers for the ceremony, our own crystal candle holders for the reception, flowers, linen, table runner, napkins, diamond confetti etc... How does work? I want to make sure I know what I am looking at as far as charges are concerned and limit the surprises. Please advise. :) (HOTEL ANSWER) If we assign a staff to assist in the placing of all the above, there is a charge of $80.00 usd per staff. 2. As far as the DJ is concerned, will he/she do announcements? A intro announcement "Please welcome Mr and Mrs Jackson" kind of thing, and speech and cake cutting announcements etc...? (HOTEL ANSWER) The usually have a MC for this it is apart from the DJ. (ME TO YOU) ***THIS IS NOT TRUE. I TALKED TO THE DJ AND HE SAID THAT HE WILL INDEED TO THAT FOR THE RECEPTION!!!*** 3. Are there any pictures of the Riviera Ballroom so I can get an idea on the colors of the ballroom and match my decorations? I found some pictures but they didnt really help much. (HOTEL ANSWER) Attached is one of the ballroom in a banquet set up. It is a very nice ballroom. (ME TO YOU)***I HAVE THEM ATTACHED FOR YOU GIRLS*** 4. We would like to hire the DJ for 4 hours and party the night away in the Riviera Ballroom until 12am and want to make sure that it is 100% ok. We are willing to pay extra for the additional hours. (HOTEL ANSWER) As long as it is in the ballroom, there is no problem. Do you already have a supplier in mind or would you like us to send our in house? 5. Will the hotel provide us with votive candles or do we have to buy those our self? (HOTEL ANSWER) The hotel does not have them; you’ll have to bring them. 6. If my husband and I come visit the hotel in November 2011, is there anyone that can show us the Riviera Ballroom, Cielo Bar Terrace etc...? Sure, let me know and I’ll make arrangements for one of our Sales Managers to conduct the site inspection. SECOND EMAIL 1. Is there draping available to put up in the Riviera Ballroom? White draping with lights? If so, are there pictures we can see and are there different packages we can choose from to see what we like and how we like it etc... Also what are the prices on those? (HOTEL ANSWER) It is available, and I’d recommend checking with our in house decoration company. The contact is attached. 2. Does the hotel offer a Cigar Roller or Cigar Station for the Reception where our guest can go and pick their cigars and have a good time with? If so, what are the options and prices? Do we get that through you or have to get that our self from an outside vendor? How does the process work on this? (HOTEL ANSWER) We do offer a cigar Roller. Let me check on the current rates and I’ll let you know. (ME TO YOU)***ITS AROUND $1057 FOR 1 HOUR INCLUDING 50 HAND ROLLED CIGARS FOR YOUR GUESTS. THE GUY IS BILANGUAL AND ORIGINALLY FROM CUBA AND WILL WEAR A REAL CUBAN OUTFIT TO SET THE MOOD. HE IS ALSO ABLE TO TO MAKE THE CIGARS ANY SHAPE YOU WANT! 3. Does the hotel offer a chocolate fountain station with fruit? If so, what are the packages and prices? Do we get that through you or have to get that our self from an outside vendor? How does the process work on this? (HOTEL ANSWER) We do have it available, you will find the information on the private events file that I’m attaching. 4. Does the hotel offer ice sculpture? If so, again what are the packages and prices? What sculptures are available? Where can I see them? Do we get that through you or have to get that our self from an outside vendor? How does the process work on this? (HOTEL ANSWER) We do offer ice sculpture, again, sent me what you are looking for and I’ll check with the chef 5. Does the hotel offer a candy station? If so, again what are the packages and prices? Do we get that through you or have to get that our self from an outside vendor? How does the process work on this? (HOTEL ANSWER) I’d recommend getting it thorough our in house decoration company. 6. We were originally going to get the Amethyst Collection but we do not need the photography and videography so we got the complimentary package BUT we would like to copy the Amethyst package. We would like to copy the Silver Avant Chairs, the table linen, the table runner, the silver base plate, white top plate etc... and at the ceremony would like to copy the Chuppa linens, the crystals hanging behind us, the sashs, the runner... everything. Is that possible? That is very important to me this part as well... since my wedding colors are based on these colors i saw on the palace website. Please advise on this! (HOTEL ANSWER) It is possible, but honestly, this is going to end up adding at the end. I definitely would suggest getting the Amethyst package. 7. We will definitely have the 75 rooms nights and want to get private functions such as the - Welcome Cocktail hour on May 19th @ 6-7 ish - Welcome Dinner Party on May 19 @ 7-9 ish - Cocktail hour on our wedding day May 20th at 7pm after the ceremony which we reserved for @ 6pm - Reception Dinner at the Riviera Ballroom for 4 hours until 12am - Breakfast Buffet the morning after the wedding May 21st @ 9am - Farewell Dinner Party on the 24th of May (HOTEL ANSWER) It is important to keep in mind that if, by 3 weekss prior to your wedding, you haven’t reach teh 75 room nights, we’ll charge for the private functions. When do we decide where we want these events held at and at what time and what kind of food? This is also very important since we are sending all of our guest an updated itinerary before the wedding and again another itinerary in our guests welcome bags... so i want them to be as exact as I can, I really do not want to wait 30 days prior to the wedding for these decisions. Please advise on this! (HOTEL ANSWER) I can send you the menus so you can start deciding as well as the planners for you to review. 8. We have welcome bags that we have for each of our guests. Each bag is for a particular person because our bags include T-shirts with the correct size. If we have the name of the guest stapled on each bag can the hotel deliver the bags for you at the time the guest checks in? If so, what is the fee and how does it work? Does the bellboy take it up or will it be in the room waiting? How does the hotel make sure they are all delivered? Also very important since the T-shirts are being used for a group photo later on the week. Please advise. (HOTEL ANSWER) We can deliver them to the room when you want us to, please consider there is a charge of $3.00 usd per room 9. We are having flowers made our self... how do we get these flowers to the wedding coordinator the day off? We set up a specific time to meet at the lobby? (HOTEL ANSWER) We’ll get you in touch with your weeding coordinator a month prior to your wedding, you can coordinate with her. Please consider we have a charge of $80.00 usd per staff for the set up. 10. The DJ that the hotel offers: Does he and is he willing to play different kind of music mixed with his music if we provide it to him through a ipod? Has he done that before? (HOTEL ANSWER) Yes, it is possible, you’ll find the information on the file attached. 7. Table Linen: Does the hotel only offer white table linen for free or do you also have regular ivory table linen for free as complimentary? (HOTEL ANSWER) We have both colors and they are included if you are having the unlimited private functions. ALSO IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN DRAPINGS INSIDE OF THE BALLROOM ... HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF EXAMPLES BUT IGNORE THE BLACK WALL THAT WALL IS ACTUALLY WHITE. $1397 $1000.45 I hope that helps... -Tabby Playacar Amatista.pdf Private Events Playacar.pdf
