Hi - I am getting married Nov 27th Tulum Gazebo, staying at the Coba. We are from Saskatoon, Canada and our guests paid 1485.00 CAD Taxes in with West jet vacations.. The year prior, Dec 7th, i went for my best friends wedding and we paid 1100.00CAD taxes in for the Tulum (ridiculously cheaper!) What do you mean by the news "luxury re brand"?? We are doing the private poolside dinner and then private DJ party by the pool. We cant wait!!!!! We have about 55 attending the wedding. I am bringing some of my own decorations. I have asked the coordinator to email me flower catalogue and such, but of course no answer. I am hiring BesoBrides to come do our airbrush make up and hair. When my friend got married last year, we had a relaxing massage and body scrub done the morning of at the tulum spa and it was probably the best thing ever and I highly recommend it, even if its a gift to all your ladies or mom..... they were about 100 US but OH SO WORTH IT.. your skin is like butter after!!! We are thinking of hiring the resort videographer as I am really wanting the day filmed now that I have seen videos of other weddings done. I am jsut worried about quality.... Anyone did this? Let me know ! THANKS!! Emma

So funny but true.. hair stayed perfect the whole time. but again - you need to bring a strong hair spray and do not be scared to use it

see below, my friend had hers half way and im the one of the right and the wind didnt bother us - SPRAY SPRAY SPRAY!!!! will be getting married at Tulum gazebo in Novemeber

Great review!!! Any photos of your poolside party? we are having one as well How do we get it so they cover the pool with a glass as a dance floor? Just wondering! x E Sooo Agree - I like itineraries and schedules, but Commmon!! wayy too much! go with the flow, enjoy, everything will work out... give everyone a rough idea of what will be happneing but dont go over board! Itll seem too structured! My girlfriend jsut got married at the Tulum last december, and we had our own fake bouquets, no one said a thing. I think you get a bouquet with your package but we didnt end up using hers, and i will be bringing my own that I bought off Etsy.

Thanks Tlseege!! You know I am toying with a photographer... But the rules re so strict on having one come in and I I didnt think his work was bad at all. Our friends got some great photos from him. I think it will be more stressful for me to start looking for one. Also, does a phtographer, who doesnt know us want to be in Mexico all alone (although the group going is extremely inviting and friendly) ? I am not sure how it work ? I think as long as they guarentee that we can get the Pablo Steak house for the dinner I will be ok with it. If not, then I may change options to have a poolside dinner which sounds wonderful. I have just heard that they want to rush you out by the 2 hour mark in teh restaurants, and thats the last thing I want, is to be rushed? Ugh.. so much to think about . Ill look over the options again. Thanks for your insite and letting me know what you did. You are helping tremendously!! Emms Also, do you have any photos you would want to share of your dinner and the weddings you photographed? That would be nice to seee Thanks Emma

Hi - Thank you so much for your input - it is making me think... Do I know any photographers who would want to come for a week ?? You are right, it is about the same price, as I want him all day. )I am obsessed with photos and want to capture everything I can ) . I will start looking around. I am going to check his website again, calculate costs and see if its worth it. I was scared that 3pm was too early (My friends was at 4pm and found that to be perfect, as they were saying their vows the sun was golden on their skin...)...Ill just not like it if there is such a long wait between the ceremony and dinner, but i guess with the tapas and guitar entertainment it wont make it seem like there is too much of a wait.. it will also give a chance for some to go back to their roosm to freshen up (me and the girls to).. if need me. That sucks about sparklers... I would love to take a shot of us all on the beach at night with them... too bad. Maybe I can find some in Playa del Carmen and "sneak" them in... haha. (shh)... Where did you have your dinner? Do youthink its workth havigna poolside dinner, or do it in the restaurant? I am starting to worry bbc I have heard some good reviews with having a private dinner.... ?? Did you eat at the Pablo Steak house? My friend only used the Medittereano restuarant as her dinner and it was nice, privately tucked away from everyone and felt inimate... but maybe with us having 55+ guests, I should do a private event? I need advice on this LOL.... There are so many options to think about.... Oh and my wedding coordinator is Maria... but apparently she was away and Paloma is answering for her right now... but I still ahev 6.5 months.... I am open to all suggestions and comments Thanks!!!! Emma

Hi - My best friend used him for her wedding Dec 2013 and the photos turned out beautiful. I will be using him for my wedding Nov 2014. Thanks, Emma

Hi Guys - Question about Photography? Can I use another photographer from Mexico, just not he resort photographer? I've heard they are pretty stingy, but I was wondering If I have options. I would like someone for the whole day/reception and want to compare prices and quality. Also, any purchase a video of their wedding?? Is it worth it, or have a friend record it on a cell phone (I know, sounds lame, but may be ok quality). I am getting married at the tulum Gazebo Nov 27th 2014 but staying at the Coba. My best friend got married at the tulum beach last Dec 2013 and so I was able to scope out the place but didnt think we would be coming back to the same place so I did not ask specific questions when I was there. We chosen to do the basic cymbolic ceremony and I believe Pabloma (?) forgot her name already as I have never really spoken with her yet, reserved teh gazebo for 3pm (Id liek to move it to pm, the lighting and wait before dinner is much nicer), then we have chosen a cocktail hour after ceremony with a guuitar and cocktails and "tapas" for our guests as we take photos. Then dinner has been requested at the "Pablo" steak housse as its reviews have been great and when we were there it was too busy to get in, but we did notice a beautiful wedding reception there and it made me want to have it there. ( i dont like that its only confirmed closer to the date... I like to have that sense of mind knowing its booked.). Then we are doign the poolside DJ party fora few hours... I am planning on bringing some decorations and my own runner. Does anyone know if we can buy sparklers in Playa Del Carmen? maybe I should as my wedding coordinator if she can provide them, although I am sure the price will go up then. Does anyone recommond anything else? I dont wnt to miss out on the small details and am hopfully covering them all. On a more fun note: We are so excited and can wait. Our last tally of guests were 58... so there is quite a large group of us going from Canada, France, and UK. Its going to be a blast! Thanks Guys!!! Emma
