Wedding Planner in Maya Riviera - NOT THE RESORT COORDINATOR


Recommended Posts

There have been some threads about this, but they all seem to focus on the coordinators from the resort.

 

What I'm wondering, is if anyone has used a Wedding Planner in the area, in addition or apart from the resort coordinator.

 

Reasons I ask:

I've read people on the Cabo forum talking about an outside wedding planner, and how she was able to get lots of things, like fire dancers, mariachis, for much cheaper than the resort.

Also, I want to have a private reception and such with decorations and everything, and would like someone to take care of that, not sure if the resort coordinator can be trusted.

 

Anyone else doing this? Anyone have any recommendations for anyone in the area?

 

Thanks.

Margaret, I am using Manuela de Novak of Paradise Weddings. They are an independent coordinating company and she charges $500. She is awesome. her email address is info@mayarivieraweddings.com, let her know that Sunamita referred you if you decide to go with them. Their website address is Destination Weddings - Rivera Maya Weddings in Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Cancun and Mayan Riviera

Hello Margaret.

I was working in Barcelo Maya Beach & Garden as a Group and Conventions Manager 4 years ago and I use to have 4 weddings per day besides the Conventions! I don't know if they will alloud you to bring on your wedding day a wedding coordinator or any other supplier that is not working with them directly. Just make sure and ask the possibilities.

 

Good luck!

Yazmin.

Why you dont try and let them know that there is a big possibility to cancel the whole thing if they do not let you bring your own suppliers.

It happened so many times to me when I used to work for hotels. So just try and let's see how they react.

I know that they have their own musicians from Dominican Rep. & Mexico and maybe have contracts already with them so it could be a possibility why they do not allowed. But you can always try and ask.

Tell me the name of the person who is in charge of your wedding, maybe I can find out and try to help you a lillte bit.

Regards,

Yazmin.

Hey Ladies,

I hired a wedding coordinator in the states to help me, but lets just say I need one in Mexico. I am getting married at Excellence Playa Mujeres. Their onsite coordinator is streatched thin and takes weeks to answer emails...so I am thinking it would be better to have someone else to communicate...i'll look at the suggestions you all have made..thnx

    • 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!
