Hi - We used Cancun Discounts Catamaran Tour and I would give them an A+. 45' Catamaran in Playa del Carmen - Private Charters We loved, loved, loved, loved it! We and our guests had a fabulous time when we did the tour the day before the wedding. It was a 4 hour swimming and snorkeling adventure on a 45-foot catamaran. The crew was hilarious, fun and entertaining. This was such a highlight for our guests, they couldn't stop talking about it...even now. Many said this was the perfect way to get to know each other before the wedding. Of the catamaran tours we researched, this was not the cheapest one we found (price is listed on the website) but we had so much fun it was worth every penny. No free t-shirts. If I remember correctly, the bride that you are referring to had the t-shirts made for the guests. If you have further questions, let me know. Jen

That includes the furniture, coordinating pillows, wooden tables and three large wooden decorative vases. I know...pricey but I absolutely loved it and it was totally worth it to me. It was a huge hit with everyone and helped create the look we wanted.

Finally, what was the weather like at night? Sorry for all of the questions, but I love your reception setup. Its very similar to the picture that I have in my head. Hi- Thank you! We booked the lounge furniture through Events & Weddings Cancun. I worked with Raffaele. He was great. [email protected] We did the flowers through the hotel. I really loved them. All of the ones that I saw coming in for other weddings were just beautiful as well. The weather was hot hot hot! We did our ceremony at 5 and it started to cool down during the cocktail hour. The beach reception was perfect. The temp was very comfortable. If you have any other questions, just let me know. Jeni

I did. Just had our wedding on June 21. Sherese was very easy to work with. Here's a link to her website with a few of our pics. I can't wait to see the rest of them! Jeni & Guy | Sweet Memories Photography

I'll post a review sometime soon but wanted to let you know that we are back and had a fabulous time at our wedding. Our guests were totally blown away. I can't tell you how pleased everyone was with both Playa del Carmen and the Royal. I've heard many people already talking about planning a return trip as soon as possible. I'm anxiously awaiting pics to share with all of you. Let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you for your review and the info! Sounds like it was wonderful overall and I'm very happy for you. I can't wait for my turn.

How does that work? I know she's super busy so I'd hate to go and not even get a chance to talk to her or one of the other wedding coordinators. Me and FI are talking about doing Friday night through Sunday visit and just getting as much info as possible while there. Last minute deals online are pretty cheap and seems to be worth it to get a layout of the place to set our minds at ease and help with planning. Yes, we contacted Lili in advance and set up a meeting date and time. I did that for the same reason as you, I wanted to make sure I was able to meet with someone. One note, you may want to set up your taste testing date/time in advance as well. We didn't do that and ended up having to have the tasting the last night we were there. We didn't plan for that and had another restaurant we really wanted to try. Not a huge deal but something I wish I would have thought of. Jen

Congrats to another Royal bride! I was just there about two weeks ago. It was awesome. You are really going to love it! Happy planning, Jen

She hasn't contacted me, but I was just transferred yesterday afternoon. I have Lili as well. I met her a few weeks ago at a site visit and she was great. I think you'll love working with her. Jen
