Thanks for your story pdc! Yeah i dont know what was going on with them - i wonder if i got some new person or even if they've changed their policies. i had a lot of questions myself! Going through this whole process I've realized that my #1 priority is clicking with the wedding planner. That's what will make me feel the most comfortable and hopefully allow the wedding to go off without a hitch. So, ive been talking to other planners in other areas. Im about 90% sure we're actually going to go to Puerto Vallarta and use Dazzling Details! Theyve been great. So thanks again for the info! I think ill be posting in the PV forums more often now

hey tphunny, Let me know what you're finding because I'm in the same position! I contacted both of them and here is what i got: Ajua weddings wanted $775 just to talk about possible locations! I wasnt about to hand over that amount of money on faith! Weddings in Playa sent me a rather strange response. They wanted me to pick my ceremony (like the actually wording). Seems like a tiny detail for an intial email! The email was very disorganized without any real helpful info. So I'm not sure about them either. Im looking for a villa or other non-resort wedding but not on the beach. Puerto Vallarta was actually my first choice, but the flights are too expensive!! Good luck with the search. Definitely let me know what your experience has been.

Thanks for all the well-wishes and advice!! I've been scouring this site for the last week - so much good info! Current status: fell in love with PV, but i just cant justify asking guests to spend $700 on airfare, when RM is only $350. Still, i havent found a location (non-resort) or wedding planner i like in RM so basically no progress has been made. Ive seen reviews for RM wedding planners on here (outside a resort planner, like Ajua or Weddings in Playa) but im not impressed. Ajua even wanted $775 just to talk about different locations!!!

Hi all, So glad i found this forum! Looks like it has great information. Here's my details: Name: Lani and Andy Living in: Boston, MA Wedding Date: early May 2009 Wedding Location: someplace in Mexico! We've looked all over and right now i think either Riviera Maya or Puerto Vallarta are our top options. I actually prefer PV but its so easy and cheap to get to RM from Boston that it may be better for our guests. Ill be searching the forums and reading on the locations, but if anyone wants to PM me to talk about these sites, feel free! Thanks!
