there is only 220 rooms at resort so there won't be thaaaaat many onlookers. We had some onlookers but they were not obtrusive at all. In fact, the next several days, several people came up to us and said how beautiful everything was. I would have the wedding on the beach. It was beautiful. If you have a bunch of little kids, you may want to move it inside. We had Fri nite rehearsal dinner outside of ital restaurant on terrace and it was great....but i don't know where you can fit 120 people outside. i don't think i would eat on the beach.

Hello Gina, we Used the microphone for the ceremony. Cost $300 but i was told nobody would hear anything without it. Picked an additional song (J:Lennon "Imagine") as people were being seated. For party, we went with the music provided by the hotel. They were fine. I gave them about 10 songs to add to their song list. Can't remember the price....maybe $1600.....but we figured we saved so much by doing a destination wedding, that we were still in good shape financially.

We were at Playacar Palace 8/1-8/8 for our wedding. Everything worked out really well. We were thrilled w the food (and the presentation of it). We went with Yucatan Buffet for wedding reception and it was very good. 5P wedding on the beach was a bit hot......if you can work 6P, i would recommend that. Best decision we made was to move reception inside. We had 6 little kids so not having to watch kids outside was a real good decision. Resort photographer was fine and prob much cheaper than outside guys. Flowers at resort were silly expensive so we went into town and found a place (we asked a cab to take us to a florist). They are doing some construction on some rooms right now and some of our guests got crappy rooms but they complained and it was quickly taken care of. They gave us a free upgrade which was nice. Free wifi everywhere was also awesome. Excursions are way overpriced when ordering thru hotel.....even w hotel credits.....try and book on your own. Jeff
