El Dorado Royale (EDR) Brides - POST HERE!

Well- I couldn't find the old email - but I swear that is what she said- I can see the email in my head... I sent an email to Valeria last night and this is her response now... --ignore the first sentence- I'm trying to get a quote for if we had red velvet as our "flavor" for our cake- it's me and my FI's fav...

 

Hi Shannon,

 

Yes, this will be what we are waiting for, the red velvet cake, I will keep

you posted on that, again, My sincere apologies for the delay of this

response.

 

About the Photographer, I know you will bring Cancun Studios - there will be a 500 usd fee and if she brings any assitants there is a 72 usd day pass per assistant.

 

Also her RFC and working documents, to be presented to the Hotel.

 

Thanks!

 

 

If any doubt arises, please, do not hesitate to contact me, I will be more

than happy to assist you.

 

Sincerely Yours,

 

Valeria Martinez.

Jwolfe---since you have 3 total people for photography/videography-- what I'm getting from Valeria's email -is that you would have to pay for "only" 2 day passes ---for the "extra" 2 people that is with your "main" photographer....- you shouldn't have to pay 3 days passes or for any private parties....

-----what a mess....

I was just going to ask you that I would only need to pay for 2 day passes, right? Why do they have so many different versions of what needs to be paid for, etc? My TA has a meeting there this or next week and is going to discuss their fees and not being clear and upfront about the charges from the beginning. I'll let you know if she is able to resolve any issues.

How much extra is the red velvet cake? That sounds yummy!!

that will be awesome-- thanks so much!!!

That Red Velvet Cake does sound good, we love the cupcakes. Let us know what she tells you!

She hasn't gotten back to me-- I guess she is hounding the kitchen-- we might just do the bottom layer-- but it is our absolute favorite-one of my biggest enemies in losing weight!-I'll let you know when she gets back to me- we are "scheduled" to make our final payment Friday-so it should be this week....

After looking at lots of professional wedding pics at EDR ... it looks like there are two reception locations outside under a big 'hut' next to a pool....? One looks much bigger than the other ... what are the names of these locations?

 

I've been trying to search these forums but it seems reception pictures are what we have the least of...

 

 

spanks!

I'm not completely sure- so someone correct me if I'm wrong- but I think the bigger one is the "covered pool" area beside Fuentes and the smaller one is Tucanes??!?!

Just thought I would post something else to fuel to the outside vendor fee fire! I am not excited about this at all, and don't want my photographer to be faced with any hassles from hotel staff. SO I guess I am going to have to pay the $500 and for a 3 night stay, even though she is only staying 1 night! This gets more ridiculous everyday! Does anyone have any correspondence from Monica or any other WC that they would be willing to share to help me try and bargain with Monica?

 

Thanks!
