ROYAL PLAYA DEL CARMEN BRIDES: were kids allowed for the day? ...and other questions

Great Review! Thank you! I have a few questions....

 

I also want to bring a picture to have them replicate for flowers... did they charge extra for not going with something in the catolog? I brought a magazine pic of my flowers, but I chose roses, which were included. I am not a big fan of roses, but they looked awesome! I can send pics, or if you are on FaceBook, find me. I have tons of pics there.

 

How were the hair and make-up people? How much time should you allow before the ceremony for hair and make-up? hair and make up were great!I would make your appt about 3 hours before your ceremony.

 

You had your ceremony at the gazebo and your reception on the beach in front of the gazebo? Did they have the tables set up on the beach before your ceremony started? I wanted my reception on the beach in front of the gazebo after my ceremony in the gazebo and Zulma told me that she wouldn't recommend it because the tables would have to be set up prior to my ceremony and they would show in my ceremony pictures in the background and cover up the beach... what was your set up like? they must have set my stuff up during our little cocktail hour right after the ceremony. they work so quickly and so quietly that I never noticed.

 

And finally, how long did dinner take to eat? The reception time is so short and I don't want to spend the whole time eating either...I was more interested in dancing than eating. So I asked Carlos to speed up the dinner, and they did! They assume you want to take your time, but if you don't want to, tell them! They are VERY accommodating!

How do you post pics on here? I would like to put some up for you guys.

Oops, our main course was the steak fillet...

Tracy thanks for the review!! very helpful as your wedding sounds a lot like mine will (hopefully be(

my concern is, as my guests start booking, I do have a few people coming with kids and therefore staying at the gran, including my parents and my fiancees parents, is it really a pain to see them, we would like to hang out with them during the trip, are they really difficult with guests from next door I am starting to freak out about this..

Thanks for any help anyone can give...

Hi ladies!

Just dropping in to say that I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum, my name is Kristen, and i'm getting married at The Royal on May 15, 2010. I've been reading up on this forum and it is all so useful. I think I have most of my wedding planned, I wish I had known about this before. I love all of the ideas posted though and i'm sure I will change my mind 1,000 more times before the wedding. Just wanted to say a quick Hi and I hope everyone had a great holiday!

Hi Kristen - Welcome to the Royal thread! Congrats.
