Hi,

I am getting married June 22, 2009 and am wondering when I should expect an email from a wedding planner at RIU. I have been corresponding wit Paola with questions, but haven't received any info from her yet? What choices will I make before I go? Do I need to contact the photographer? Any info is appreciated.

Thanks,
Brandi

Hi Brandi

Although there's some post like this one, you could give her a day or two for answering your emails, since RIU is a very solicited resort for weddings and she has a lot of emails to answer.
About the photographer, they have their own photog that has an exclusive contract with them, and many brides have found this to be a not so good call on RIU's side, but I've worked with Mango Productions and they're really good at what they do, so you can be at ease on that matter.

If you need any other vendors, there are plenty of us around here and the brides on the forum can help you with feedback and info on them.

Happy planning

Oh Brandi, you should contact Daniella!! I am getting married on June 25, 2009 6pm, well supposed to!!!!!! I emailed her this week and got a response yesterday that she DID NOT have MY WEDDING CONFIRMED! Mind you, I have all the emails stating confirmation, her services, prices, ect! So we will see what come of this. I forwarded her all of those email and told her she needs to look it all over. She was so rude to advise me to the reservation line of the hotel, not look into it herself! I am soooooooooo mad! Hopefully it gets better.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Brandi, send them an email now!! I will be arriving on the 22nd and staying through July 2 at the RIU palace, maybe we can meet up!

The Riu is a big hotel, they do a lot of weddings, and they impose a lot of "rules"to their clients (shouldn't it be the opposite?), their reputation and quality standards are, in my opinion, getting lower...

Thank you for the advice! I just emailed Daniela, hopefully she has my reservation!!

I've read mixed reviews about the WC and the Riu...mostly I've been advised to be very organized and to not expect a lot from the WC... I can't believe she didn't have your wedding confirmation info!!! I'm sure this will all get resolved! Good luck!

Doest anybody have an email address, all I have sent to is weddings@riu.com and I am still waiting for a confirmation

[cabobride6/22]

Ahhh! Daniela has my wedding confirmed for June 12!! We won't even arrive in Mexico until the 16th, I hope it is a clerical error I am waiting for another email back from her. Thanks for the info Melinda234, I am sure we will run into each other on the beach!

Brandi, I am getting a little worried myself! I did get an email back stating that they did have another wedding that they ha confirmed in that spot, but the would cancel it. How sad for the other bride! She will get it straight. What are you doing for center pieces, flowers, arch, welcome greeting? I am just trying to get everything together!

Also, the email address to the RIU palace is: weddings.loscabos@riu.com or weddings01@riu.com. Send your email to BOTH and SAVE all email transactions.
