Hey Girls! I'm in May also! I have been a huge slacker with planning. I'm not gonna secure my Dj (DJ Mania) or photographer (Del Sol) until January. I already have 24 rooms booked, and still haven't sent out an invite (they are in the process of being printed). I wish the resort would be up front about pricing etc...it's very annoying. Im expecting about 90 guests. So I need to add on and change a lot of things to make it perfect for us. What part of planning are you guys at? 

I signed a group contract and reserved 40 rooms. I had to pay my stay in full in order to do that. I was given a booking code, and people can call or use my online link to book. Every 15 days, I get an update of who booked so I can keep track of room numbers. My Wedding is May 24, and I am going with the 4pm time. I am using fine are studio as a photographer. I am also bringing in DJ Mania for music. I have not discussed food/decor/locations yet. I am just to busy with school and don't have time to worry about all that yet. I am doing the complimentary package. I am expecting 80-100 people, so I was assuming I would have to pay extra for food, cake, tables etc..? But I am not sure. I also believe I have to pay extra to extend the time of my reception. I want it to be at least 4 hours with a 1 hour cocktail party. I am not familiar with Zuniga...is it necessary to contact her? I am bringing a lot of my own decor. And again I was told there was a set up fee, but I am going to fight that. I was able to negotiate price lower than expedia/travelocity etc...so people actually want to use my code. This is a very confusing and frustrating process. I'm hoping the experience gets better.

I'm between Del Sol and Fine Art Studio...No fee with Del Sol, and I would but FAS a night at the resort because it is cheaper than the $500 fee.

Has anyone been in contact with Clarissa out of the Cancun office? She took over Charmaine's accounts who used to be in Miami. I went to sign my group contract today and pay my stay in full, then she told me they will only except a check or wire transfer. This is CRAZY to me. Did anyone else get told that they had to pay that way?

I have never heard of the outside vendor for decor. Do we think it's necessary? Or should I trust what they select at the resort!!? I'm so lost!

How do you get the list of preferred vendors?

im doing the same, try to speak to Charmaine!

is anyone having trouble getting a hold of Charmaine?

Thank you so much! I'm to OCD to deal with people have way across the country who do not return emails for phone calls!! Hopefully its smooth from here on out!

I'm a May 24 2013 BP bride. Sooo today they told me all I had to leave was a deposit for one night in order to reserve the date and get a group booking code for my invites...which i did, via email, not fax, hope that is ok? Now on this blog and online people are are saying you need to pay in full and sign a group contract with room blocks to get a booking code?? anyone run into this problem. I also do not feel comfortable not knowing where my ceremony and reception will be. I want both to be on the sky terrace. 3 months before is iffy and if I do not get what I want i will freak!!! Any suggestions?

Does anyone know the true story...This is making me crazy right now...wish the had a 24hr line. 

I'm getting married there May 2013. We chose the 6pm time for sunset. I would love to hear about your experience and if they held multiple weddings the day of yours and if you got what you wanted for locations.

Thanks,

Breanna

Hi everyone! I got engaged on December 23rd, and I'm officially in wedding planning mode.We want to set the date for May24, 2013. I am stuck btwn RIU Aruba and Beach Palace Cancun. I need some input and help! I nervous to pick the wrong location. Then I get worried about finding the right DJ, dance floor, florist, food option, photographer, package option, etc... I do not want to end of spending what I would at home... HELP! I do not know if I need to bring my own decor of if what they have is enough?

I want to extend the cocktail hour and add a dj for 3 hours. do you know how that will work? I do not want the dinner option, just the drinks, apps, and dj!

HI, Im planning on getting married at Beaches Turks on NYE 2013. I want to have a "reception" with a DJ and apps around the pool. Does anyone know if this is possible. I saw the 3 reception options, and we are wiilling to pay for all the extras, but I just was wondering if its possible to extend the hour long "cocktail hour" for an extra fee? Any info or pictures would help! my email is [email protected]. Thanks Girls!
