I would suggest if you are looking to hire an outside photographer they are it! Excellent package and amazing quality!!

MP Photographers - we decided to go with hiring a destination wedding photographer, as I wanted specifics and detail - as well there are time limits with the onsite photographers.

We purchased the Deluxe Wedding Package - this package included photography - seeing as we had hired photographers, I had the MP photographer attend our Welcome Dinner. He did 1 1/2 of shooting and they were awesome - he was wicked - we ended up receiving a photo album (the photographer selects and puts this together) and we purchased all of the negatives - SOOOO Nice!

Wishing you the best of luck
Laura
Hale,

Congrats - I can't wait to see your professional pics. We've hired Tamms as well and I'm super excited to be working with her and her husband as I've heard fantastic reviews from a number of ppl.

And how do they know that you are staying at the resort not just on a day pass? Are they different colors? How do they stop people from just coming and going from the resort? Is there just like one little door to get in and out of the resort so you can't just walk in like most resorts?

Sorry for all the questions...I am just trying to get an idea of what its like so I can be prepared when we arrive.

Thank you!

Hi Jennifer,

I've stayed at a number of different all-inclusives and the bracelets are pretty secure. They don't easily come off unless you take a pair of scissors to them. If you do in fact remove or lose them, I believe that it cost $20 to replace (as per one of Pookie's older posts). Each resort is color coded and sometimes has the name of the resort itself on them, so it would be easy to identify who is and who isn't a guest at that resort. I believe that MP will remove them for just the bride and groom for the wedding so that they don't mess up the photos, however they would be replaced after the wedding at no extra charge.

Typically, salespeople will offer you the world to get you sit in on these pitches. It varies and some offer more perks than others. The catch is that you have to waste a whole morning or afternoon as these sessions could take up to 2-3 hours and they really pressure you to buy into the timeshare. Some are more pushy than others and at the end of the day it really doesn't end up being worth it to have to waste your time for a free massage or a free excursion.

Hope this helps!

Here's a question to you gals who used an outside photographer:

 

How do you get around the outside vendor policy? I found a photog that I LOVE and he is available for my date. But I don't want to put down a deposit and find out that the resort won't allow him on the premises! The policy states:

 

Outside vendor services (photography, florists, décor companies, audio visual companies, entertainers, etc.) are not permitted on premises. Palace Resorts will provide our couples with a variety of in-house services to choose from.

 

Can you give me some tips on how to get around this? Do I need to pretend he's my long lost uncle or something? LOL

I was thrilled with my photographs from the very beginning and remain so.

We're running into this problem because the babies parents already own a timeshare down in Mexico, so they want to stay there. Understandable, and was totally fine, until other family members decided they were going to stay there as well!!!

Is it true that the daypasses only work for an hour before and after the wedding? Can they not buy daypasses to come hang out the day before the wedding? What if I have little events going on?

*sigh* I was really hoping no one would go this route!!!
Hi Nibsmom...

Just wondering how your group contract was coming along?? We have a deadline for 50% of our total room costs to be paid for by April 24 and I'm a little nervous about this. Did you ever find out what happens if you don't make the 10 room requirement??

I am using the MP Photographer, but from reading older posts I believe those who have decided to hire their own have had them stay as a resort guest. They would need to have reservations and stay at the hotel as a part of the wedding group. I'm not sure if there is a minimum amount of nights required for them to stay. Hope this helps!

I was also wondering about the pricing of the favors....hoping to cut down on the amount of things I need to travel with!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
