@@colleentf09 what items are you interested in? I can figure out flat rate shipping. I am in philly.

@@calgarybride2015 I'm just keeping everything blush, ivory and gold. Maybe add some rose gold. It was just too much navy for me and I was overwhelming myself. So I'm just keeping it simple

@@mcrose03 the best thing you can do is read the Palace forums, whether Beach, Moon, Playacar. they all have the same rules. I started out as a Playacar Palace bride then transferred the wedding to Moon. 

Also since you are asking about rooms, the best thing you can do is contact a travel agent. The ladies that run this forum are highly recommended and I am working with one as well. The agency is Wright Travel Agency. I believe there is a link on here where you can request information.

@@jhercule I've heard not so great things about destinationweddings.com but I definitely think you should get a travel agent! I feel like travel agents are a lot more patient in terms of questions. Also, many offer payment plans unlike the resorts. And, you can find a travel agent locally who speaks English as his/her first language. 

 

Love our travel agent because she has been able to customize different packages and help my guests with any travel questions they have!

My travel agent is Teresa Stauring, one of the moderators from here recommended her. She's part of Wright Travel, specifically under the company name Vacations4Less.

 

I am working with Teresa as well, she is awesome

Yea, my friend got her Watters dress from kleinfeld and she said that it was the same as other stores, but her dress was $3000. They do sell maggie sottero and I saw the dress I want on their website. I saw an episode of a girl buying a maggie, but i didn't catch the price. My aunt has a friend that is a consultant at the store. I've been to a few stores and some of the reviews are horrible and I didn't like the customer service at a few. I am selling my Maggie sottero divina because I want a different maggie. I just rather have good service if I'm spending all this money on an item.

I love the maggie sottero marianne In blush. I have located the dress in some salons near me. My mom wants to go to kleinfeld, but I'm worried that they hike up the prices.

@@jwjw we originally booked our wedding at Playacar Palace. It is right on 5th Ave next door to senor frogs, beautiful resort and smells so good. Great location for us, but we ended up moving the wedding to Moon Palace, both Palace resorts. With Palace and hardrock resorts you can get a free wedding reception and earn unlimited private events.

@@MissAmber26 I love mexico, but the locals still harass you to buy things like cocaine and Marijuana... just say no. I will be going to a wedding in Montego Bay in may and I am dreading going. My fiance and i say all the time that we are glad we chose mexico. The safety in jamaica is like non existent, we love being able to leave the resort in mexico and many of the locals are very friendly and eager to show you a good time and teach you about their culture. Also, no resort topped what palace offers and the flight prices to jamaica are outrageous

Hello @@jwjw I vacationed at RPRM last December, it is a beautiful resort. I would be happy to answer any questions you have. I did explore them for my wedding. There were a few weddings while we were there, and of course I was stalking them.

I would say maybe look at Riu Palace Mexico or Riu Palace Riviera Maya (they are right next to eachother, just have different styles) I think Riu is good for small groups. We are getting married at Moon Palace, Playacar Palace was our first choice which is better for a smaller group. Palace resorts offer a complimentary wedding package (what i chose) that includes your bouquet, cake, chairs, and champagne for up to 30 guests, dinner in a restaurant. And based on the total nights of stay you can also receive free nights and free private events. I would check it out, for you I would recommend Playacar Palace, just because it is more intimate, in a great location (i toured it), very nice beach, has ruins, and the minimum night stay is 4 nights. So if you have 15 guests, lets say that equals to be 7 rooms, everyone stays 4 nights, thats 28 nights, then lets say you stay for 7 nights that equals 35 nights. With 35 room nights you will receive a free 2 hour private function, which is basically a free reception, on top of the complimentary wedding package. You can also receive up to $1500 in room credit based on your length of stay and can be used on excursions. This is if you are located in the US or Canada. Hope this helps. I have found using a travel agent found through this website, Wright Travel Agency, to be one of the est decisions so far. I also believe Hard Rock has similar promotions as Palace

It all depends on what you conside to be affordable. Octavio Montes is affordable, he has great rates. A friend of mine used him, her pictures are on his website, she's the couple with the pictures on the boat. However, I fell in love with the styles of Ivan Luckie, bicoastal images, and Samuel luna. They all offer really great packages and have amazing response time. My wedding is in June 2016, I'm trying to get all the wedding stuff out the way so I can focus on family and life and hopefully find a new job in college administration. We narrowed our choices down to bicoastal and ivan luckie. They all have similar styles, but ivan caught alot of emotion in his photos so we hired him. His prices are very reasonable, he offered more hours of photos than Samuel luna at a lesser rate two hours less than bicoastal for a way lesser rate. So we went with him. Samuel AND Ivan Are On The TOP 20 List For Cancun Photographers.

We just hired Ivan Luckie as our photographer. I am so excited to be working with him.

Do you still have the love mugs, votives, and table number frames?

I am selling an unworn sample, Divina in ivory size 12 with attached belt. Beautiful dress, I love her but I am having an affair with another.   She is stored in a breathable garment bag pet free and smoke free home. No alterations have been made. She is listed on preownedweddingdresses.com I will be able to post pics when I get home from work.

I am starting to, not actually regret. But I fell in love with another dress and my mom wasnt able to make shopping with me my first go round. So I am selling the one I bought. She is beautiful though

We just hired Ivan Luckie for photos. His prices are very great! I recommend him and his communication is ASAP also. Bicoastal images was great too and I would have loved to work with them, but, my parents are paying and my mom preferred to work with Ivan. He is actually on the list for top photographers in Cancun

Anyone interested in a Maggie Sottero Divina sz 12? I fell in love with Maggie Sottero Marianne this weekend.

Thanks @@Wafflesmom I love the dress, but it was a spur if the moment thing and my mom wasn't with me. The dress is also 1 or 2 sizes too small. Luckily it's a corset back and I do plan on losing weight, my gut and some thighs

@@LauraM I hired dj discomovil but i wanted to compare prices with psav and jsav to see if it's worth it after all the fees. Jsav is outrageously expensive. Psav has not sent me a price list yet. I keep asking them for it. My coordinator provided me with both psav and jsav for music btw. I guess it just depends on who your coordinator is.

I am a DVD I buy my swimsuits at victorias secret for the most part, especially the tops. I never pay more than $20 a top. I always shop during their semi annual sale and even during the regular year in their clearance items. I did order a white strapless top this fo round too. I figure I should start stocking up for my wedding/honeymoon too. They still have plenty of stuff online. I am going to jamaica in may and ordered swimsuits for the trip. But i think I am only taking one suit because we are going for a wedding and only staying 3 days. And the beach at that resort is like non existent. I would love to know where I can get some cute cover ups.

My wedding is in 17 months. This time is flying by. I plan to go dress shopping tomorrow with my mom and sister since I will be visiting home this weekend. Do you think it's too soon? Will the consultants be weird? I found a dress I love that I found for a great price, but I'm worried it won't fit. So my mom wants to go shopping. I'm just worried it's too soon. When dI'd you go shopping?

yep, that is why I am not going with Octavio Montes. He offers a 10% discount if you write a review. But that discount is offered before you work with him. I could not find one review of a wedding that has occurred after working with him. His prices are really good. But, my sanity is more important to me.

I believe I saw some on oriental trading
