Royal Cancun Now Hyatt Zilara 2014

[chirobride]

I noticed that there is a Gran Caribe 2014 thread but not one for the Royal. I know alot of the Royal Weddings share Gran Caribe venues but I though it would be nice to have both! I am getting married at The Royal Oct 18, 2014! Ceremony on the beach by the gazebo terrrace, the cocktails on the gazebo terrace and the reception on the Albatros terrace at the Gran Caribe. I am debating on whether to change my cocktail hour location to the villas terrace just in case I do not end up having enough people to fill up the huge space on the Albatross terrace. That ay i would just move the reception to the Villas terrace and put the cocktail hr on the beach. Any thoughts on this?

Also my wedding coordinator is Flora and i was wondering is anyone else has or had her and what their experiences were like along the way. I was just sent email attachments with all of the options and I have to admit I am a little overwhelmed any suggestions on what to tackle first and an approximate timeline in which things should be chosen?

Hi I am also having the events within these two resorts. If you have 60 people I for sure would book the villas terrace.. it would look much nicer if its less people. I would suggest you ask all your guest to confirm their attendance way before the 60 days limit to respond to the hotel since they book pretty fast (the locations) how are you decorating the terrace? im having a hard time to picture decortaions

I have no idea how to add decorations besides whatever will be on the tables. I know we will have a cake table and then a table for the guest book and place cards with maybe a few flowers but besides that I figure the atmosphere can be the décor. I think we are going to leave the reception at the Albatros terrace since it was the best bathrooms and a lagoon and beach view but I am still debating on whether or not to switch the cocktail hour to the villas terrace. The terrace by the gazebo has a built in bar that is really nice now but the space is a little small but I guess that may not be such a bad thing for cocktail hour. Is anyone getting legally married there>? We are having some confusion about the legalities.

your wedding is around the corner! what did you end up doing? did you keep the locations? when did you have to let them know how many people exactly?

For brides looking into photographers and videographers to use for their wedding: I used Ivan Luckie for photos and video and while he was very nice, my pictures took 6 months and my video 9 months.  The pictures did not have the "wow factor" that I would expect for taking that long and the video was very poor in quality--the sound was not consistent throughout, the scenes were choppy, and the camera shook many times making it look like an amateur video, not to mention the fact that it took 9 months to get it.  All in all, I would not recommend them for these reasons--you pay a lot of money for these services and to take this long to receive the finished product and not even be absolutely thrilled with the finished product is not worth it.
