We had our phone conference with Renee from miami last week. I know someone else posted regarding this and I am wondering what other people are getting told by their contact in miami. My fiance and I have been in contact with caribbean celebrations for decor and flowers. Got amazing quotes from them. I told Renee and she tells us that we have to submit all requests from external sources to her first and she will find out the prices. I asked her if they get a cut from the cost and she said no. However, I have a feeling that the prices will go up once Renee sees our quotes. Has anybody else been told this and if yes, has Miami raised the price after they see your quote from the outide company?

deeSG, past and present brides of Palace resorts and they made a posting a couple weeks back stating that they have an agreement with the resort so you don't have to pay for a daypass. Well, I checked this morning and HDC posted that HRPC changed the rules and you now have to pay $500 for any outside vendor. Who else are you considering for your photographer? Does the hotel offer their own photographer and if so has anybody used them before?

Is anybody able to confirm if it's true that you have to pay $500 if you use an outside photographer? I know HDC you don't but was wondering about Photosouvenir, cause I was thinking of booking for them. My wedding is in May 2013.

i have been emailing and getting quotes from Caribbean Celebrations. I have a phone conference with Renee on May 8th...so should i not tell her that I am using Caribbean Celebrations? I don't have a contact for the hotel yet as my wedding is not until may 29 2013. Hmm..you had bad experiences with Renee?? She takes a long time to respond to emails. Was it a pain to switch? Which photographer are you using if you don't mind me asking?

i thought if you use an outside vendor you just pay for a day pass??

is anybody renting audio equipment for their reception? if yes, have you been told how much it costs for each additional hour?

Can someone please tell me how you are flying to the resort if you are booking your room nights directly with the hotel? How much are they charging per room?

I know someone posted earlier about if they you have to pay for a day pass for Caribbean Celebrations to enter the resort. I had an email from Angelica @ CC saying they are the hard rock's daily supplier so there is no fee to enter the resort. Just a set up and take down fee.

could you email me the template? i cannot download the template. [email protected]

Venus909 I LOVE your STD!! I can't open your template..can you email it to me with instructions pretty please??? [email protected] Thanks!

hi there, I really like your designs and we are really interested in using these templates. could you email me these templates? my email is [email protected] Thank you so much!

Wow I had no clue that u only could get the room nights promo if u booked via Miami. Isn't it more expensive then?? So you just book your flight seperatly ? Is this the only hotel that doesn't give the bride and groom a bonus for having their wedding there??? Anybody else told the same info about the 75 room nights??

Okay ladies...I just spoke to the miami office AGAIN...and I was told that they just changed their computer systems and that is the reason why they are taking so long to respond to peoples requests. I was told that they are just processing Feb. 2013's. I wish I was told that the other 2 times that I called..lol. Anyways, it's not a great excuse but at least some sort of communication as to why they are not responding promptly.

I'm curious as to why people are getting quoted for room rates via Miami...aren't you booking via a travel agent??

smr6281, I can relate to what you are going through. I faxed my wedding request on March 5th. Marlyn told me that she would get back to me 24-48 hours. I emailed her on the 12th because I had yet to get a response back. I heard nothing. I called the miami office that week and left a voicemail for Marlyn. Never heard from her. I called and spoke to the booking department and they told me (i called on march 21) that someone would get back to me in a day or two. I called the miami office again on march 23, and told them that I am very concerned about my booking request and the lack of communication. They told me I would hear something by the end of the day. NOTHING!!! I am so frustrated and am worried that we will not get our date and time due to the lack of communication which is not my fault. Finally, my travel agent told me to contact Renee at the Miami office. I emailed her and hope that she will be able to better assist me. They seriously need to tighten up this end of their business or they will lose future clients.

Could sOmeone explain to me how you become eligible for free complimentary events? R and k 2012 could you email me the info you have gotten from the resort please? [email protected]

Has anybody used PhotoSouvenir for their photography? Or heard any reviews on them? I am trying to find the best bang for my buck. Also, can anybody recommend a good decor place to use?

I am a little confused as to who people are booking their wedding date with. I faxed the wedding request on Monday March 12, 2012 to Marlyn and have not heard anything from her to date. Am I connecting with the correct person for this matter?

Mrs2BE, I had emailed Maryln to ask if they are accepting 2013 wedding requests and also asked if they are extending the $1500 resort credit for 2013. She replied to me that they have extended it for 2013 but pricing is not available as of yet.

Do you have anymore info on symbolic ceremony? My partner and I are doing the same. GREAT NEWS 2013 BRIDES!! I just got an email from Maryln Tobon saying they are extending the $1500 resort credit for 2013!! Can anybody give me info on if you want a private function how much it costs? Also, if anybody has pictures of the ballrooms and ceremony locations I'd love to see them! Here is my email. [email protected] Thank you, Desirae

Does anybody know if they are accepting 2013 bookings yet??

Hi ladies, I have been trying to read all of the posts but am finding it hard to find answers to my questions. My partner and I are having a symbolic wedding hopefully in May of 2013 (still waiting to book), turns out HRH is one of the few hotels in the carribean who will let gay couples have a symbolic ceremony ( don't even get my started on that adventure lol). Anyways, I was wondering if anybody could send me info about "additional" things you can purchase for your special day? Where are the ceremony locations? How is the DJ that the hotel provides and how much is it? Can you have music played while walking down the isle? How much is a photographer from HDC? I'm sure i will have more questions and I will try to read along for more info. here is my home email address if you have any info to email us. Thank you so much! Desirae
