I leave for the airport at 2:00 a.m. Tuesday morning, my flight leaves at 6 a.m. I'm soo excited! I'm all packed already :-) Fiance just needs to pick up his tux tomorrow and we're ready. 

 

I'm sure you guys heard about the plane crash at San Francisco International airport. So terrible! And that's the airport I'm flying out of :/ So far my flight is still on schedule, so please pray for me that it doesn't get cancelled or delayed! We had friends/guests leave for Cancun from SFO this morning. Their flight was delayed 2 1/2 hours but I'm just thankful it wasn't cancelled. They should be at the hotel by now :-)

 

I can't wait to tell you guys all about it.

 

- Nicole

Hey Nicole!!

I will pray that everything goes smoothly for you! Good Luck and I am sure you are going to have a Beautiful Wedding!! 

Cheers

-the strings of white laterns

-the pinata

 

And I did pay the 11% IVA 

 

Keep in mind i did the complimentary package so I rented everything through Zuinga. So i felt the $150 was fair.

 

But remember Beach Palace will also charge you a set up fee for anything additional you bring. I paid another $300 to Beach Palace to have them set up my fans and programs for the ceremony, and to put out my place cards, put cupcake wrappers on my cupcakes put out the cupcake to go bags, place my cupcake sign and signature drink sign, signature drink straws. Put the candy in the Pinata, tie the bride and groom sign onto our chairs, and to put out my guest book

Thank you so much for your feedback!!

I am interested in this too, currently getting quotes. We are doing the Pure package which comes with 3 reception tables included. I don't know if it's better for me to hire anything extra direct through Palace so it all matches. Lily has quoted $150 set up an labour fee (that's for 3 extra chairs, 3 lights and a piñata??!)

 

Also - our wedding date is May 27th so we'll be there for your wedding date exciting!!

 

Xx

Hey YossiMeyer!!

So excited our weddings are around the same time!! We have a whole year to plan and compare notes haha.

The Pure is beautiful!! BTW IV is taxes for Zungia and shes charging me 150 for transportation as well

You can see the colored light tree in the background of this picture:

Hey Kristie!!

I am assuming you payed a setup fee and taxes as well? He is trying to charge me $123 for a setup fee. 

When you get a chance!

Thanks

Hey!!!

How exciting!! Our weddings are so close! I actually spoke to lily today, the IV is a tax charge and I was quoted 150 for transportation too

The Pure package is beautiful!! 

Hey Past Brides!

I am booking My Reception Decor through Zungia and was wondering about the IVA Charge 11% and about the transportation charge?

Did any of you pay for this?

Thank you girls in advance!!!

I have some guests who are trying to keep their costs down by staying off site...I have advised of the 80/20 rule so they are waiting to see how many guests we get booking before they commit. My question for you guys is this: Did any past/are any future brides have off site guests and if so, how much does it cost to have them at the wedding. Obviously there is the guest past fee (I believe that currently stands at around $98), is there a further fee for them to eat at the private reception etc. Am I overlooking anything that some past brides can advise on?

 

Thanks again x

Hey YossiMeyer!

I was actually speaking to Rocio from Beach Palace about a similar concern my guests have. She advised me they can stay 2 nights in the hotel and then just transfer to another resort  that is less expensive if they would like. This will save cost for them.

Especially if they book while palace resorts is having a 40% discount on rooms, of course if they go this route then you will not qualify for the group benefits.

Hey! I am getting married in Beach Palace so no gazebo sadly but I am sure the Pearl Shimmer would look great there as well!

Hi Nicole!!!

I purchased the Pearl Shimmer as well, I fell in love with it and did not want to bother with bringing my own decor.

I even attempted to go through Zungia for decor. For what I wanted she was trying to charge me more than what the Pearl Shimmer Cost!! In addition what she sent pics of what she can create and it was totally different than the pics i sent her.

When you come back from your wedding please post pictures and give a detailed review!! I am looking forward to reading all about it!!!

I hope you have a wonderful wedding!!!

Thanks!

I just saw this post so late!!! sorry!

I do its May 24! Very excited

Hey Ladies!!!

Thank you so much for all your reviews!! I am in the process of booking decor through Zungia. Did any of the previous brides rent a dancefloor?? Is it a must or were you girls okay without having a dancefloor?

It is pretty pricey 600 dollars ?

Thank you in advance!!

Hey girls! I am a early starter as well. We will be getting married in Beach Palace Resort in Cancun, I already have my dress as well! hahaa. It will be a small wedding 30 people max.
