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

Lady Di~
Yeah I read on here about their new outside vendor policy CRAP! ughhh so aggravating. SO that's why I really don't want to hire one now, we have almost max'd our budget! I definitely think it would be awesome though. I will probly do what Candice did with her man, put together an awesome lengthy playlist...keep it going all night long!
I am getting tooooooooooo excited!

Thanks! I would love to meet up with you girls sometime too!! We arrive on the 8th.. so we will have to plan some time to meet up! Yeah I am probly just going to do kinda the same thing you are with the Ipod situation, we are both way into music too..think we will just make a really awesome lengthy playlist and so we won't have to keep going and changing the song you know!? did you get the luxury pkg? we are getting that pkg, so ours comes with mariachi band, which we are prob gonna have them play at the cocktail party, and the pkg includes soloist (we want the harpist) for the ceremony. so we will just need the ipod for the reception. what are your colors?! and are you going with different menu options or the same for everyone!? i am sooo undecided on this one!

i agree with you on the whole open bar/champagne deal! that is rediculous to charge that much extra at an all inclusive resort when our guests are paying for their drinks in their rates. ughhhhh

Hi! My wedding is in 3 months too! I can't wait! I have also been trying really hard not to be worried aout all the stuff going on down there and sticking with my it'll all work out in the end attitude . So far everything has! My wedding is April 29th and we have 38 ppl booked but I havet heard anything from my TA about it being booked up and people are adding on everyday.

We are doing an AHR for 150 ppl at a hall. My maid of honour and I are incharge of decorating which is going to involve lots of DIY and borrowing. Also, the family that is going down south is helping make all the food (we are having a cocktails and appys reception) and the cake .

Good luck with everyhting!

Hi, I live here in Houston and I am in the very early stages of planning. Everyone keeps suggesting a TA. If you are happy with yours, I would love to find someone locally here in Houston. Would you mind sending me a PM with their info I would really appreciate it!

I hope that won't be the case for us! I'm curious about this too.

Hi, I got my TA from this forum and I recommend them!

Just to send an update...I contacted the resort and they said they couldn't give me an exact number of rooms that are left. Some sort of policy they have. But they said that they have a few of the lower grade rooms and a few of the oceanview left. That worried me a bit even though they said I would be fine. I called my TA and she looked it up for me. She said that there were only 12 rooms left!!!! She said that she reserved 4 until the end of January for us. I have more than 4 booking though! We are at about 30 I think now and we should have another 10. Either way she said the other rooms are available but it will be the higher grade rooms which means more $$$. So all of you ladies out there who have some time before your wedding comes, STRESS to your guests that they need to book early because this resort is VERY popular!

I decided to do the AHR. It will be somewhere around 200 showing. I am doing it at a picnic ground. We are just going to decorate everything in a vintage style and get a photobooth, etc. It's amazing how fast everything is adding up

I will be there June 9-17! Let's coordinate when it gets closer! That will be fun!

We are doing passport invitations and on them under location we are putting "The Royal, Playa Del Carmen".

Oh, wow. I would assume that my weekend will be sold out as well..I am getting married the weekend after yours. At least, if your guests book early then you have a good idea of how many are coming for OOT purposes and etc.

Me too!
