Hello Ladies
I was married Saturday and everything was amazing! Claudia took care of everything. Once we arrived in Tulum, we were stress free.
I'll post some photos over the weekend.
I'll do my best to answer some of the below questions.
We had our rehearsal dinner at Zamas. Susan was amazing.
We had cocktail hour on the beach, and dinner under the main palapla. We hired a mexican cover band "vertigo" I would highly recommend them for the wedding as well. Everyone wondered how I would top off the wedding night after the rehearsal dinner.
The food, music, atmosphere and drinks were perfect. The price was reasonable as well. It's a very rustic mexican place.
For the wedding, Jackie arranged for nail and hair. I would suggest to do your own nails, it only lasted 2 days.
The hair was good, be specific though. As mentioned below, it's very windy on the beach.
We had the wedding at the beach club. The ceremony in front of the tree on the beach, cocktail hour under the grape tree and dinner and dancing in the main area.
Jackie said it would be $4k to have the beach club private, but when we met with her, she said she would close the entire place down.
We had the place to ourselves with no fee. I guess somethings are better left unsaid.
I didn't feel we needed an arch during the ceremony since we were in front of the trees. The beach has eroded some but it's still beautiful.
There is a rope holding up a tree, ask them to take it down and they will for the ceremony. We also had them cover the sandbags with white linens.
We had our own officiant and our friend played the guitar for the ceremony.
We had our ipod play for the first part of the cocktail hour, and the mariachi played for the second. Well worth the money, they were great.
DJ Bob played for the dancing part. He is very accomodating. I would be specific on music though.
The food and cake were delicious. We had the steak and salmon.
Overall, the day was perfect. I wouldn't have changed a thing.
We opted for an open tab, not bar. We had the prosecco for the toast and a lot of wine.
All said and done, it was much cheaper and my group drinks!
