We looked into having our wedding at the Leblanc and decided to honeymoon at the Leblanc instead.The deciding factor for us was the 500+ price tag per night. The wedding packages were also much higher than what is offered at other palace resorts....

Happy Planning to everyone FINALLY a date twin!!!!

That's what I am looking for!!! Someone I can swap travel for fees

Hey Ladies.... I asked what the rate was to book the photographer per hour and it is 160.00...

OMG!!!!!! I am sooo sick over this!!! I am soooo sorry that this happened to you!!!

I am getting married at the Sun Palace resort in Cancun in November..... our resort has a " No outside vendor" policy. The only way around it is if we have them stay at the hotel with us as a guest. That being said we are on a limited budget and really trying to find a photographer that we can fly down for a 2 night stay and shoot the day of the wedding only.... Any suggestions?

Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats!!! Welcome to the forum... you'll be hooked before you know it!!!

Has anyone had a hard time working with the resort in regards to bringing your own photog??

Your bags are AMAZING!!!! I love them!!

WOW!!!! Congrats!! We are getting married at the Sun Palace... We are spending our honeymoon at the LeBlanc!!! I can't wait

I found my FI's ring online... thejewelrymaster.com. He wanted a band with diamonds so I found the most beautiful band with baguettes.... we just got it in last week and it is SO much more beautiful that it was online.... I would recommend buying a ring online

Love those!!!

OH NO ...you are not behind... My boutique called me last week to let me know that my dress was in... I was expecting July. I couldn't wait to go try it on, I went yesterday and it fit! They told me I didn't need to do anything to it. SOOOO I brought it home Now I have to watch everything I eat for the next 6 months
