I've been to Playa twice in December & have never really run into any mosquito problems...... I don't find it very humid so I think you'll be fine! The fall/winter weather is great...... part of the reason I chose mid November

I chose the Gabi Bridge!! I think it's the perfect happy medium so you still have the beach as a backdrop for photos, but the comfort & roominess of the bridge for your guests

Hey ladybugg! I actually have all the resort's standard package info, menus etc but do you happen to have info from their recommended vendors for DJ, florists & photography?? That's what I really need help with

Hi fellow future brides & past brides!!! This is my 1st time on a message board & I am super excited to have my wedding at Paradisus NOV 2013 !! This thread has been superrrr helpful! We've opted to go with the tailor made package & chose to do our ceremony on the Gabi Bridge & cocktail hour/reception at the Gabi We are pretty early in the planning process, but are expecting between 40-70 people to attend. I would LOVE to get info from you ladies on the prices & packages from their preferred DJ, photographer & florist as I havent rcvd this from the Miami office yet. One of my biggest concerns is the outside vendor charges everyone is talking about!! I saw someone say $1000 per day which seems crazy. I was hoping to have a local photographer friend of ours do the wedding but not with that fee Also, I'm really worried about the DJ. We are from NYC, as is almost everyone attending & we take our music & partying pretty seriously, LOL....... so I hope the DJ knows & has the music we are accustomed to If anyone could send me the package info w prices for their DJ, photographer & florist that would be great. Also does anyone have info on a mariachi band for the welcome dinn/rehearsal ? How about cigar roller for the reception??
