Thanks! Kelly

Hi Kelly,

Thanks! :)

I know they can have more than one ceremony a day but I don't remember actually seeing it happen. There aren't really that many weddings at The Royal in general, you can probably even see that from this forum. They don't have a one wedding a day policy but at the same time, I have never seen more than one wedding, if there even is a wedding, per day.

There is a really nice Royal bride on here named Becky. She was a bride before me and got married on the beach. She even has pictures on here. I'm sure if you found her and asked her she could probably give you the best advice about a beach wedding ceremony at The Royal. I messaged her a couple times before my wedding and she was super nice.

Hi Antonia,

your wedding looked fabulous! Congratulations!!!

We, too, are looking at having a Catholic ceremony in Playa del Carmen. Can you please let us know how you went about booking the church? Did you contact them directly or go through a third-party?

Did you consider any of the other churches in Playa Del Carmen or were they too far from Royal Playa Del Carmen Resort?

Any info. would be greatly appreciated!

(off to look at your photos again...)

Hi Kelly,

fyi, I spoke with someone from Real Resorts today and was told I could only have the beach wedding the day I requested because the Gazebo was already booked. So, they book at least two per day.

Thank you for letting me know that! Ahh, now at least i know another question to my ask my planner about which locations would be available. I really wanted a resort that only performs one wedding a day but i've heard such awesome things about The Royal that I'm heavily looking into it.

Loved your pictures and your review! I am not sure if you mentioned it already, but where did you get your bmaid dresses from and more importantly your MOH? I love it!

antonia321 · 09-26-2008, 10:12 AM

thank you soo much for your review. really helps to hear it from a person that has been there. i am still in the process of deciding where to do my wedding. can you let me know how long did they let you play the music for? from the pictures that the hotel send me look like its next to peoples room.

thanks for all your help!!

antonia321 · 10-08-2008, 07:36 AM

my pleasure! they said we could only have the reception on the beach and music until midnight. That part of the beach wasn't next to people's rooms. Maybe it just looked that way in the pictures??

I just booked my wedding and was told there can be up to 6-8 weddings a day, but they assured me that when I was getting married there would be no other wedding on the beach at the same time..there might be one in the gazebo at the same time but not on the beach and that is the same with the reception.
I was also told that all of the friday's and saturdays were booked for the month of may 2009...whew that is a lot of brides.
My wedding will be on a wed because the thursday, friday and saturday were fully booked.
