2010 Brides

Hello 2010 Brides!! Don’t let it overwhelm you try to enjoy your planning. We are getting married on June 25th, 2010 @ Grand Sunset Princess. We are having a private reception in the beach. I can honestly they have been very helpful and have gotten back to me really quick with any questions I have. FYI it doesn’t hurt to buy a calling card and give them a call sometimes that helps a lot more. What I like about the hotel is that they let you bring outside vendors even if they charge you for a day pass but at least you do have a choice.. I did pick the mariachi and DJ service the only thing that I brining in is the photographer and videographer. I found someone who quoted me for a better price and more pictures. They charge a $70 day pass but since pictures are very important to me I didn’t mind. You can also get your flowers from outside vendors, since the hotel flowers can be expensive. If there’s anything that I can help you with please do not hesitate to email me at [email protected]. I went to Playa Del Carmen to make almost all my arrangement hotel, church and flowers. I did get some emails for bus services in case anyone needs for transportation on their wedding day and some emails for flowers stores. Like I mentioned, it doesn’t hurt to buy a calling card and call these place you can get a lot more done and get more of an idea…. I do understand about the stressing of your guest paying so much money but do keep in mind that does who want to be with you and attend your special day would do it regardless…I hope I was somewhat of a help. Don’t stress out enjoy your planning and remember do what you want to do on your special day!! Happy Planning!!!

I noticed there were some posts on here about vaccinations... Hep A or B.... Is anyone getting specific vaccinations for Riviera Maya? I was thinking the Swine Flu vac once it comes out, but that's it.

Should we be worried about other diseases or flu?

We've already changed our date from May 22 to April 26 purely because of not being able to get prices. Destination weddings are NOT simple to plan!

Ladies, When do you plan to send your invites out? Also, I still need a videographer (in Akumal, Riviera Maya)... I don't want to pay a ton of money, but want someone pretty good who will be easy to deal with. suggestions appreciated. I know this is not the right post for this question, but some of you have dates near me and are probably just in the same selection process. ) - Nicole

we're sending invites out in march. I would do dec or jan (before or after all the holiday card shuffle) if I had your date. I know that Cecilia Dumas works in the Riviera Maya area. She has amazing reviews on here and her quote for our TTD session is reasonable so I'm sure her other packages are as well.

I'm new to this forum. Getting married February 2, 2010 in Cozumel Mexico. Any brides here getting married in Cozumel? This is a second marriage for both of us, but a first destination wedding.
