I know it can be really frustrating I just keep telling my self they are working hard with all the brides who are there now and to remember I would want the same level of attention on my day. Is there any where on there where you yourself can add stuff? If so I would go ahead and start adding That way when your WC gets to it she can confirm everything that you have.

I just heard back from Zulma - the new web link that everyone is getting is for those brides who never had a WC in Mexico. It is to help Keep track of everything and make sure that everything is properly transferred from the US to Mexico.

Hi the order goes, Opening Ceremony Vows Sand Ceremony Closing at leats this is what I was told so I hope it is right

Thanks ChicagoBride I sent Zulma an email Shirley ken - Using Chiavari chairs is an option and I was told you can use them for both

After all my wedding is a small one. Thanks again, I have tones of question, but want to read little more before i do so i don't ask the same. I just found this site yesterday, and it will take a while to read the 500+ pages. Ya it does take a little while to get through all the posts but so worth it once you do I just sat down with wine and made a night of it lol The gazebo is located on the far left side of the resort. When you walk down from the lobby there is a large central garden in between two restaurants. Straight ahead are the pools and than the beach. If you take a left before you get on the beach you walk down and there's the gazebo. Here are a few pics from our site visit last November

Hi Luz, welcome Here are a couple of pictures I have of the gazebo, I agree that it is the most private part of the resort. We are doing our ceremony and cocktail hour at the gazebo and the garden behind it. I think it is a really beautiful area for your reception. She has been really awesome and always get back to you very quickly.

This is great to know thank you! do you happen to know the name of the suit by chance?

hmmm i am curious about this website I was not sent anything, can anyone post the link?

I am in the same boat ladies I will be there for 5 days before my wedding. For the tan lines I am going to get bandeau tops but I have D boobs so I am not really sure how this is going to work lol One thing that does help is my dress is a halter dress so I am hoping it will help to cover those tan lines. In terms of eating drinking one thing that is really nice is you walk everywhere. This past November when we were in Playa we ate and drank so much and I actually lost 2lbs lol. We walked all over 5th avenue all day long back and forth so I thin that's what did it. FI and I plan to do the same thing so that we don't put the weight back on.

I did weight watchers plus going for a 45 minute jog everyday and alternate with a 45 minute power walk and weights. I lost the 30 lbs I gained over the last 5 years that we dated lol

Thanks ladies for letting me know there is no sand in the food

kenlyn - so glad it was so perfect like I said they should give people that option msglave - I agree with Kenlyn Victor does not get enough credit I featured a wedding he did in Tulum Ale & Pedro Destination Wedding Tulum Mexico Destination Inspirations and just like Kenlyn's pictures you can see what great work he does I did not even put two and two together until I saw Kenlyn's pictures that it was the same photographer lol By the way for past brides who had their reception on the beach was there an issue with sand in food. No one mentioned but I thought I would ask. We are thinking about doing a private dinner on the beach as a gift for our parents. Any thoughts?

Duprke - thank you for such an awesome review! I am still laughing about the spoon lol by the way so where did the blood work happen? did you have to wait a while. By the way looks like they upgraded on their dance floor. That is such a nice dance floor! when we went on our site visit the weddings we saw just had these wood planks. Kenlyn - I know I can't wait to be there lol love the reception at Pelicanos they should give that option to everyone. What a great spot.

Welcome Playa Del Carmen is awesome but I am bias because my wedding is there lol hope I can be of help with any questions

Kendra I just saw your pictures from Victor Herrera and you look stunning! everything looked so beautiful.

I know they are so busy so I am just waiting till September when the bill is due to ask any other questions lol.

If I don't hear by end of day today I am going to call them. So frustrating. ughhh ya that is very frustrating. We had so many issues with the deposit but luckily my WC Yazmin was able to take care of it for us. She has done many weddings there before and said they do a really good job so although frustrating I would not worry to much. Keep me posted.

I would love to show you all some pics she took of the trash the dress and the wedding, but I'm having issues uploading them on the site. All of the one's i've posted so far are from the resort photographer. Cecilia Dumas is amazing!! Now she is going to get a chance for her business to grow through all of this, I'm so happy for her! That is awesome news congrats! I can't wait to see the pictures

Steph I am so sorry to hear that you went through that. That is really just horrible I bet though it was noticeable to you but to anyone else and you probably will not be able to tell from the video. I still however cannot believe the minister called you and spoke to you in that way. That is completely unacceptable. Did you tell Zulma that she did that? Duprke - good to know about the cake Also my cousin and a good friend of the family are going to be playing the Spanish guitar for our ceremony. Does anyone know if the royal will provide the sound system and set up? Or is that extra?
