Thank you for all of the information! For the Classic Wedding Package it says that a "standard bouquet" is included, but when looking online it says they are $100. Do you have to pay this 100, or no because it is included in the package?  Also, I am having a private reception which is $15 per person. She sent me a menu, however, it is 15 pages long. Does anyone know what I am even aloud to chose from?

If the bouquet is included in your package you don't have to pay for it, that's the a la carte price, if you want to upgrade to a luxury bouquet and only the standard is included in your package you will need to pay full price.  I upgraded my cake and had to pay full price, so I assume all services are the same.

 

I received a 30 page document when choosing my menu but everything was labeled (Wedding menu, Mexican Wedding, Indian Wedding, Breakfast, etc) so I went to the applicable section and chose from there. For example, my package includes soup, salad, entree and dessert which I chose from the wedding menu based on my package

I have been researching different photographers! Does anyone know of any talented yet reasonably priced photographers that they have used?

I've booked Octavio Montes. @mariposa6102 helped out a lot in helping me find a photographer by making this wonderful comparison spreadsheet with different photographers and price ranges. She's probably still enjoying Cancun right now, but I think she would be willing to share this info. PM me your email and I will send it your way.

Hello Brides !!! I will be going to cancun this weekend and I have a meeting at my resort where I will be getting married. The Royal Cancun. I will be meeting with the wedding coordinator Flora and also tasting the menu. Do you have any questions about weddings you would like me to ask ?? Let me know. I leave Friday !!

[macyhickman09]

That spreadsheet would be so helpful! My email is [email protected] 

Thank you so much! I'm finding some photographers are way more expensive than others.

Hey! I contacted another florist and they're better with communication than Maya Floral. Slightly better prices too! 

They are called Floreira Riviera Maya.

I am currently in contact with Alina. Mind you, it took awhile for them to get back to me as well.

But when they emailed me back, they just kept answering my questions.

It feels good to get the ball rolling instead of waiting months in between emails

Hope they're a good match for you too!
