I am not sure what his current rates are but YES I would recommend them...they are great and not 1 person was sitting...He is def cheaper than the resort...who uses JSV.

Hey there!!!  Sooo excited!  We actually decided to go with the room block so that we wouldn't have to worry about the resort selling out of the lower-category rooms.  We went with 17 rooms for 5 nights.  I like that we can release rooms up to 60 days beforehand at no charge - although I am telling guests the deadline is 90 days beforehand!

I would check him out; he's reasonable for the time and product you recieve.  Though I'm not sure if he'll have an available date; he said he already has bookings in 2012 and in 2013. But, its worth a shot

 

@perry1217, CONGRATS!!! How exciting!  We met with our TA and we still have to decide if and how may rooms for a group booking or if we would like to to be individual booking. I think we may just book a few rooms (maybe 10 or 15?) and do individual bookings. How many rooms are you booking?

I didn't know you could release any unused rooms beforehand, for no charge! Maybe I wasn't listening when he said that lol! I'll have to email him. But, that is a good idea to book the lower category ones.  I think we'll go ahead and do that then! But, I think we'll do 15 of the those. Thanks for the info!!!

Okay awesome. My TA confirmed it for me too and then I heard from someone else that Palace resorts hasn't confirmed it so I got a little scared. I have told all my guests that they will get it so I didnt want to be a liar. It will all work out Thanks!!

Just as an FYI ladies, I noticed on the Palace website they are currently doing a promotion "Kids Stay Free" for this summer and now into the fall. It applies to children 12 and under, staying for a minimum of 3 nights. So, if you don't already have it in your contract, you may want to have your TA add it. Just looking out

I called and asked this question and was told that the credit could only be used for the complete packages. I was totally dissapointed because I thought I could use it just for the photography. I am concerned that I won't be able to bring an outside vendor in with the day pass either because they would not technically be a guest. Have many of you gotten away with hiring an outside photographer on the day pass?

 

Honestly, I have gotten a different answer from every WC whenever I ask anything so I don't know if any of this is correct. I spent three months trying to explain that I wanted a civil service with a minister and was told they could not do that. I finally just called Lorena (rather than emailing back and forth with Lisa) and she said it was not a problem. The lack of consistent answers concerns me a little but everyone on here says their weddings were perfect so I am trying not to stress over it.

Have any of you used Riviera Maya Weddings for your photography? They are not fancy but it is what I can afford.... I am just wondering if any of you had tried them out.

I ddin't have an outside Photog but I did hire an outside DJ.  Which I had to pay a day pass for and it was fine.  Lorena, is by far the most amazing person and will not do you wrong!  She is in the manager of the WC, she will come through on everything that she promises.  So, I know that it is stressful, but don't worry, she is the best!
