Calling all brides who are getting or have been married at Sun Palace Resort in Cancun...

tdavis · July 14, 2011

Hello Ladies, We're getting married at the Sun Palace Resort on 01/15/12. I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. I'm doing the Sapphire Collection because blue is my favorite color. I'm trying to decide on a photographer. They have them at the resort but the cost seems a little pricey for what you get. I talked to the resort and they said you can get an $88 pass for the outside photographer. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've looked at the top rated ones on this website. Juan Navarro responded to my email and seems very reasonably priced. His pictures look awesome and he responds to my emails within 24 hours. Pictures are one of the MOST important things to me. I love photos because they capture such special moments that you can never forget. Also, I'm a little worried about getting my hair done at the resort. Has anyone already been married at this resort and have any advice or suggestions....??? Oh... does anyone have any ideas of what my fiance should wear with it being a beach wedding? My dress is off white. It looks white until you put it next to a white dress. He was thinking maybe off white linens. I thought an ivory suit would look good. I don't know. I'm also confused on what to have our parents wear for our family shots. I was thinking of having them wear off white too so we will match but then we won't stand out as much. Some people suggested they wear blue to match the decorations but I don't know if they can match the color or if it will clash. Hmmm.... I have so many thought and questions. I would love to talk to more ladies getting married at this resort or have already been married at this resort. Congrats to everyone!!! ~*Tara*~

I'm getting married at Sun Palace on 11/6/11 FI will be wearing linen khaki pants with cream colored silk button down shirt (my dress is also cream) I am having my hair done at the resort I have pics of what I want. I have never heard anyone say anything bad about their hair after doing this, so my fingers are crossed! LOL Photographer is Octavio M. Love his work & his prices are great. We only have 6 guests, so we only need about an hour of shoot time.

I don't have much more info than you at this point, but you are welcome to walk my journey with me & I will pass along all that I can! :-)

Thanks for your response. Yeah, I haven't heard any bad feedback on the hair stylist at the resort. I was planning on taking a photo of the hair style I want also. All we can do is hope for the best. I haven't heard of Octavio. Does he have a website? We're having a small wedding also. Everything is so exciting. I look forward to hearing more about your wedding planning and how everything turns out. Yours is right around the corner. Woo Hoo! Are you doing the complimentary package or did you purchase a package? If you purchased a package, do you know how it works with the 36 photos that are included if you bring in an outside photographer? Have you started communicating with Cyntia (wedding coordinator) yet? She can be a little hard to get ahold of at times. Well I wish you the best with everything!

Hi All-

I'm looking to book an April 2012 wedding at Sun Palace and would love to hear from brides who recently got married there. We're hopefully booking this week. What packages has everyone gotten and what are your suggestions/advice? If anyone has pics I'd love to see them!

Thanks!
