I know with my luck it would happen to me! Of course all of us know you could never even contemplate something like that Jonathan! Ok thats that idea scrapped! lol!

Oh crap! I looked for an hour and then found out they wont ship to Canada!!

Anny, where did you get that map of the resorts from? I have been looking for one that I can use for my OOT bags for the Riviera Maya, and I can't find one with my resort on (El Dorado Royale) I loved the one you had. Help? lou

Also, do you guys always go on site trips? Anybody here get married without a site trip? Nope, I have never been to our resort although have been to the Mayan Riviera before so I know that we love the area. The bottom line is that with everything else thats going on we can't afford a site visit too!

Congratulations Jackie! This has been a great day for you, hope you enjoyed it! You certainly deserve it!

I thought I had posted on the thread before but it must have been another one! Anyway here goes..... We chose the El Dorado Royale because..... 1. We both love Mexico 2. The Riviera Maya is a relatively short flight for all our guests 3. EDR is an all inclusive 4. Its an over 18 resort we have no children attending so this was good for us 5. The resort has great reviews from brides and other travellers 6. Food looks amazing, and all meals are a la carte (big plus!) 7. There are tons of stuff to do in the Mayan from great beaches to awesome Mayan ruins! 8. The resort is big enough that our guests can have their own vacation as well as coming to our wedding, but small enough that we can still see everyone whenever we want. Hope this helps? BTW- you do a great job with this stuff Jackie, really helpful!

Hi and welcome! We are getting married at the EDR also and would love to help you with any questions that you have. We (or I, more like it!!) are dealing with a WC named Faith and so far she has been really helpful and fast to respond (which is a godsend) We have to make all our final choices later this month so I will probably have to interact with her more then but so far she has answered all my questions. Not sure if it's a different co-ordinator on site though.... Maybe Tammy knows? Is Faith situated on site Tammy? -lou

Neat site Jackie-thankyou! The list of bars in Playa del Carmen is verrry interesting........!!! LOL!

Hi, I am getting married at the EDR in March and while I would recommend the resort to anyone, there are a couple of points I thought you should know. The first as you have heard is that children aren't allowed (it's over 18 I think) The second is that the EDR doesn't allow outside photographers unless they are a guest at the resort! Bummer I know! Hope this helps let me know if you need any other questions answered (if I can!!) As the girls have said Tammy(host) is really helpful and could probably help you alot. -lou

I just ordered my bags from this site yesterday,( canvas tote bags) I will let you know how they look when they get here but they are the best price I have found. So thanks Tammy for pointing me in the right direction!

Great idea Bella! it sound gorgeous! Hope you can get the pic thing figured out would love to see the hacienda! -lou

We are having a really small wedding (only around 15 people) so I only have one bridesmaid (MOH) and she picked out her own dress, she actually got it on e-bay for like $40 brand new!! It's a traditional long style but it lightweight material so it should be perfect. She said the lady had bought all her BM dresses and then changed her colour scheme so was selling them all cheap! There are tons of new stuff on the so check it out! -lou

Hi! We are getting married at the EDR in March, I have never been to the resort but have heard nothing but good things so far. Our wedding coordinator (Faith) has been really responsive and helpful and am really happy thus far! Good luck and please ask any questions you think I can help with. -lou

Great thread guys and really helpful! OK my question is, do any of you wish (afterwards) you had done something at your wedding that you didn't? For monetary reasons or other? thanks -lou

Better late than never! Welcome and best wishes to you both! Hope to hear more from you and would love to see some pics when you get back! Good luck! -lou

Love the swarovski crystal idea! Think I might borrow that one! Tammy where did you get you bouquet jewel from, that sounds great? -lou

Welcome, we are getting married in the Riviera Maya also. I vacationed there last year and fell in love with it! The whole area is gorgeous! We are having our wedding at the El Dorado Royale. Hope we can help with any of your questions!

OK you girls inspired me.....I started back at the gym today (giving myself a big pat on the back!!) then I totally ruined the whole thing by totally pigging out at supper! I ate sooo much! (slapping myself around the head!) Oh well baby steps right? lol!

Hey, welcome to a fellow Brit! I am originally from England too but now live near Toronto. We are getting married in Riviera Maya, but not at the same resort. You will get lots of help on this site, there is great info to be had!! Bit addictive really!!!

No I have only dealt with Faith so far, and you are right, she is super responsive! I have nothing but good things to say about her so far. My questions have all been answered really promptly. I have heard a couple of good things about Abby too. Did you deal with her personally

Thanks Jackie, these are great reviews and Faith is my wedding coordinator (at the ElDorado) so am very encouraged to hear positive things about the resorts!
