I had this same exact question' date=' does anyone know if I cna just pay everything with a Credit card? The entire wedding, cocktail party, etc? I think the DJ needs to be in cash. What about the hair services?QUOTE']

We charged all of our wedding expenses to our credit card, including all of the spa services that we used. They just add any spa services to your room bill. They are pretty eager to get their money for the wedding. They want you to pay on the day of your wedding. After the meeting with the WC where you make all of your final decisions about flowers, etc. they will provide you with a complete list detailing the amount for you to confirm before you go to pay.

When they charge your credit card it is all done in Pesos and is coverted by your credit card company. Also, the resort does not cash US travellers cheques for US cash, they will only give you Pesos which was a pain in the a**. For that reason I would encourage taking more cash than travellers cheques (although you can exchange for US in Playa del Carmen). We ended up getting stuck with a bunch of US travellers cheques.

Hope this helps you out! Let me know if I can answer anything else.

The items that must be paid in cash are the DJ, the musicians if you're hiring some, and the blood test. Everything else except the $300 fee to the photo shop for not using them is charged to your room in pesos as ryan's girl mentions above. The spa fee can also be charged to your room. The fee to the photo shop can be paid by credit card.

one caution. almost all credit cards charge internal fee of around 3% of total you are charging

Great question CTodd, I was wondering the same thing!
