Hello everyone,

Me and my fiancee are planning our wedding in riviera maya fall 2012. Im super excited for this but I can't seem to commit to one place. I've already read a ton of reviews and looked at hundreds of pictures of other weddings. Everything looks pretty fantastic. It seems all you brides are doing it right. My future hubby wants to keep it in playa del carmen. I was thinking either Iberostar or Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda. If anyone has had or attended a wedding in PDC I would love some feedback. Thank you and congrats to all the lovely brides to be!!

Congratulations and welcome to the forum!!   Playa del Carmen is a great location for a destination wedding.    There will be lots of things to do and see.  There are also resorts that are very close to Playa so that is also something to think about.   Sometimes it makes it easier to narrow down a location if you make a list of things that are very important to you.  For example, quiet, private, kids etc.   and go from there.

 

Warmest wishes and best of luck,

 

Lori

ps - I don't like to say bad things or be negative... but the Blue Bay Esmeralda is one of my least favorite resorts. Mainly because the other resorts in the area have so much more to offer you. That is just my opinion and may not be the popular one. cry.gif This also is an opinion of a photographer... and not a wedding couple or guest that books in there and stays for a week.

I've still taken some fantastic shots at the Blue Bay Esmeralda like this wedding: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.486210409486.266714.18683524486&type=1

This was the hardest part for us!! Deciding on a resort was completely overwhelming!  We finally sat down and did a pro/con list for each resort and then read lots of trip advisor reviews and just made a decision! I can't help with either resort you're looking at but best of luck! Either way it will be gorgeous!

I liked the Azul at first but its like 20 min away from PDC in Puerto morelos. We're really not the resort types and he likes  playa so were trying to stay as close as possible to it. $20 cab rides back and forth start to add up.

    • 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!
