We are doing something a bit different then what I’ve seen for a beach wedding.  We are doing PINK TONES AND GOLD.  We will also have some white accents.

I absolutely love the palette and think it exudes luxury.  My FI is Indian so gold is very traditional they usually pair it with red but to give it a twist and also add my favorite colour we have decided to do pink.  But not just one colour of pink, a variety of pinks!

I’ve found a pink (blush) dress for my wedding dress so my bridesmaids are going to wear white or gold dresses (they are choosing their own dress)

I just love that nothing about our wedding is going to be predictable!  What do you guys think?  I’ve attached photos of my inspiration!

Thanks!  And you are so right about that!

Some of their rules are pretty ridiculous (and make no sense) but if you push hard enough they seem to be flexible.  I've been using "A friend of mine told me she was able to do this" and then they change their tune.  muahaha 

My Fiance and I decided to build our own WEDsite  
He does a web design for a living so instead of doing traditional invites we opted for an eco-friendly, cost effective invite.
We sent an e-vite with a link to our wedsite.

Check it out!

Hey! I was told this by Christina when she sent me all the wedding info but I chose the beach location for the ceremony, so I'm not 100% sure. I don't see why they would allow a cocktail hour or reception in those locations and not a ceremony, considering a ceremony is the least time consuming. One thing ive learned is EVERYTHING is negotiable with most these people it's just the way you handle it.

Hey! 
Its not letting me attach the PDF I have so I will list them for you.

The options are:

Garden Terrace
Infinity Terrace
Beach

Sunset Terrace
Ballroom

Thanks so much!  I just contacted Ingrid and am super excited about doing this party! 
YOU are a life safer! 

I've also been told that only 20% of guests can get day passes.  I've read on another forum that before it turned to Hard Rock other brides had their guests sign in people under their name so they could have more out of resort guests attend.  Quite frankly... I think its a ridiculous rule..considering the amount you have to pay per person (unless you qualify for the free cocktail/reception).  

Where did you all decide to have your cocktail hour/reception?  I'm having a hard time deciding!

I have booked with the Hard Rock Hotel in Cancun (5*Star) for February 2014.

It is costing $1700 per person for one week AI with flights from Toronto, Canada.
We also get every 11th guest free up to 3 free guests so we might end up just giving everyone a discount or give a couple of people who are having a hard time coming up with the funds a free trip.  Still debating how we are going to work that out.  
I was a little nervous to tell everyone the prices at first but the reason we chose to do a DW was because we only wanted our close family to be there and those are the ones willing to spend the money to come!
Getting excited now! 

Hello my fellow HR Brides! Our wedding is booked for Feb.7th, 2014 @ 4pm We also have Christina as our WC and so far she seems really easy to deal with. I've asked probably a million questions and she's been really quick to respond. We are doing the complimentary ceremony and adding a few extra decor pcs plus a harpist. I found the Colin Cowie Collections (as beautiful as they are) totally NOT worth the extra money. (Considering its just decor and the ceremony is only 30 mins long) For the reception, I want it held on the beach with some lounge furniture. One of the reasons we chose to do a DW is because of the simplicity. We are bringing our photographer and because he and his wife are staying at the hotel there is no additional charge. I leave a TON of info and PDFs that Christina sent to me so if you have any questions just give me a shout, I'd be happy to help. I'd love to see photos if anyone's been married there recently.

Congrats!  That's awesome!  We aren't 100% yet, deciding between the beach or the rooftop terrace.  We have been told we cannot have plated dinners outside, only buffet.  That is the only downside.  What about you?

Hello to all the Hard Rock Hotel Cancun Brides-to-be!

I have had a hard time finding any information about Hard Rock Cancun on this forum (or anywhere for that matter) and wanted to share my info with all of you! I will keep updating as the date gets closer and details finalize 

My details:

• Wedding Date:  February.7th, 2014 @ 4pm
• Travelling from:  Toronto, Ontario, Canada
• Ceremony Type:  Symbolic (we will be legally married in Toronto prior to travel)
• Ceremony Location:  On the beach
• Collection/Decor:  Complimentary 
• Budget:  $10,000 for EVERYTHING
• Cost per person including air travel and 7 night stay:  $1722.56 including tax
• Wedding Coordinator:  Christina 
• Travel Agent/Agency:  Stephanie Bianco/ itravel2000 

(Stephanie from itravel2000 has been amazing.  I got 5 quotes from different agencies prior to booking and itravel2000 was by far the cheapest, by several hundreds of dollars per person. Stephanie has been in constant communication with us and has been very pleasant/helpful.)

Unfortunately I haven't nor will I get a chance to visit the Hard Rock Hotel Cancun prior to my wedding day.  I have however been to Cancun and love it there.  This means I am relying on my WC to help me decide location, etc.  I was just given my WC last week and she has already been really great.  

All of our guests (when staying 3 nights or more) recieve a $1500 resort credit that can be used at the spa, excursions, golf, etc.

Complimentary Package:  We have decided to go with the complimentary package (although the Colin Cowie Collections are ALL amazing) and add the harpist for an additional fee (approx $450)  We found that it had all of the things we needed without having to pay a ridiculous amount for chair covers and simple decor. We are bringing our photographer (which is not an additional fee if they are staying at the resort) so there was nothing not included in the complimentary package that was included in the expensive packages except fireworks which we didnt care about.

We are still deciding on many of our details and getting pricing for all so I will post as I find out more information and when things get finalized.  

Here are answers to my latest question session with Christina: 

As you can tell they seem to be very accommodating and she replies within 5-10 minutes every time I email her.  

If you need any more information feel free to ask! I have a ton of information that has been sent to me by my WC in terms of decor, pricing, menus, etc. 

Hope this helps!

Jenn

Thanks so much!  
We will be in contact once we have put a deposit down! 

Hi Matt!

Thanks so much!  We have been connecting with travel agencies here now so they are connecting with Hard Rock Cancun but am so thankful that now I have their direct information!  
Out of curiosity do you know what they charge to bring in an outside photographer?  Are you located in Cancun? 
Thanks again! 

Anyone have contact info?  I've emailed the hotel a few times with no response :S  
Thanks!

Yes please stay in touch, I would love to hear how things are progressing.  Ours is taking place late 2012 so we still have time to work the details out.  I would love to hear which aspects of his religion/culture and your religion/culture you are incorperating since we are having a hard time deciding.

Cheers,

JENNIFER

Hi there, 

I am interested in doing a destination wedding (probably Mexico) and my husband to be is Hindu.  I am of English/Dutch descent and we are wanting to incorporate aspects of both a Hindu and a Western wedding into ceremony.  I saw your post that you do that for a living so any help you can throw my way would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, 

JENNIFER
