Anything I can do to help! I just think they're really shady in how they operate. Not to mention that the people who work there (owner included) who are so unprofessional i wouldn't even know where to start in describing! All in all - it was very frustrating dealing with them when it came time for final payments and getting our transfers and tickets. A lot of emails and phonecalls from myself and my guests went unanswered. Not cool at all. Planning a wedding long distance is stressful enough- the last thing a bride needs is her TA to make things worse!

Hi ladies- just back from the Mayan riviera last week - our wedding was perfect and a blast! Now that it's all over and done with - I'd like to share my thoughts on Romantic Planet - our travel agent. DO NOT BOOK with them! Their customer service was absolutely horrible!! I don't get into too many details but I will say that I would not recommend booking with them for your destination wedding. If you want specifics - then please PM me.

I just had my TTD done last week - we went to Dos Ojos Cenote - and they charged us $100USD to shoot there - which sucked and was unexpected but given the shots - i just didn't care and i didnt want to keep driving around to find one - as a lot of them get busier as the day goes on We honestly just asked our cab driver one day while we were heading to Tulum ruins and he was SO helpful - even took us around to view a couple to see if we'd like to use it for our session

We also had the 3 milks cake (Tres leche) - it was yummers!

Yikes- that sucks!

Here's my TTD pics!!

Thank you! We had so much fun at the cenotes! Jazmin wasn't the best at replying right away - but she did always reply. Usually within a couple weeks (at the most) - for me anyway. What i found that was great was that i emailed her right away after we booked to the resort. Which was about 18 months in advance..lol That way the earlier i started asking questions the earlier i got answers and if Jazmin didnt get back to me right away - it was no big deal and i didnt stress because we had so much time. But even leading up to the departure Jazmin emailed all the details she had and set up the meeting for when you get to the resort. You'll take care of all details there too. She's very thorough and knows whats going on Can't say much for Eugenia - but I think she's pretty good also. If worst comes to worst you can always try and get a hold of Paloma - I think she's the big boss for all the WC's

Thank you! ya - I think we all go through the MIA WC's but realistically its never an issue. This thread provides A LOT of answers for brides - I hope all the brides use it as its a great tool. Honestly for me -the earlier you start emailing your WC the better. I had all my stuff planned out months before we even left so it was way less stressful on the days leading up to our departure. Best advice - just don't overthink or overstress - Jazmin and her crew will bring everything together for you!

HOLA EVERYONE! Here's my review of our week in paradise!!! We were in mexico from Dec 1- Dec 8 - and wedding day was Dec 5 at Gran Bahia Principe Tulum - Blissful Love Wedding Package What I brought with me (wedding) : -Chair sashes -Ring bowl -Table numbers (i made them) -Welcome bags -Favors -Cake cutting set -Cake topper -Starfish for ceremony decor -Sand ceremony kit (with sand- but also used sand from the beach for our moms to pour- disguised it with glitter! ha!) -Wedding attire, jewellery..etc -Photographer! -Place cards -Guest book/basket for cards Arrival into Cancun: Flight was smooth - flew with Westjet - TV's didnt work but other than that great flight. When we arrived at Cancun airport - we got through customs/immigration quick - and then came the security - which is what I stressed about as the whole 'red light'/'green light' game got me worried as we had 2 pieces of luggage each as well as my wedding dress. LUCKILY - we both hit green lights and went straight through! Transportation to the hotel was fine. You just have to fight your way through all the tour companies when you exit the airport. Once we found our bus everything was great. Check-in @ GBP was good. Just took a while. We were all part of the Diamond Club so we got a seperate check-in lobby. Everyone got the rooms they were supposed to except a few glitches on bed sizes. My hunny and I were given an ocean front room with a spectacular view - so I'm thinking they do upgrade most wedding couples but theres no guarantee. We had champagne waiting for us also! We met with Jazmin our WC on the Monday (they dont work sundays) - and we brought everything for the wedding to her. I'm extremely organized so i had pictures of EVERYTHING to help her with the set up. Everything from where i wanted the starfish hung at the ceremony - to the seating plan for the reception. I'm sure she would have figured it all out anyway because I have to say that Jazmin is AMAZING! For those of you who are bringing A LOT A LOT of stuff down be prepared for Jazmin to tell you that you'll have to provide someone to help them set everything up. I asked her and she said i didn't have too much stuff. Once you explain all the decor etc ..then she goes over the wedding package with you...each and every details from getting ready - to when they'll pick you up at your room..etc etc We also gave her all our music on CD's. Everything from Pre-Ceremony music to Ceremony music...and then she passed along the CD's to the DJ for all the songs for the reception. We had the playlists on our ipods also just in case...but we didnt need them. I did notice that the DJ had an Apple laptop so I'm sure if you handed him your ipod/iphone - it would have worked fine. Ceremony stuff still has to be on a plain old fashioned CD. EVERYTHING WAS PLAYED PERFECTLY! I hired hair/makeup outside of the resort and Jazmin was SO awesome - met them at security and brought them right to my room. Also hired outside for flowers too as it was MUCH cheaper. **NOTE** With regards to the vendor fee - Jazmin did not charge me at all!!! She said as long as they just stayed in the room and didnt use any of the hotels services (food, drink) then we didn't have to pay. So we just asked someone from our group to go to the buffet and make some plates of food to bring to the room for us. Easy peasy. Saved me $180! Also - with the flowers - there is no charge anyway because they were simply delivering! Once we went over each detail for the wedding - we went through the financials...gave her our cash deposit (*she will tell you how much this will be BEFORE you come to Mexico) - and the rest is just charged to your room. Thats it thats all! Next came the wedding day - and everything went perfectly according to plan! We even watched them set up the ceremony location from my balcony! Our ceremony was at 2:00pm and I must say I'm glad it wasnt any later! Mostly because pictures after took SO LONG. We of course had our own photographer but we wanted to shoot everyone and then leave my hunny and me for last so that they could all go freshen up before the reception. Luckily for us Arrecife never showed up so we never had to tell them to take off - one less thing to worry about. We payed extra for a private bar to be set up on the beach for after the ceremony. This cost $175 for 45 min service for 35 people of beer..and margaritas. This was 100% worth it! It was just nice to not have to make my guests wander to the nearest bar to get a drink. It was all in one area and that way they could enjoy the Mariachi band we hired to play! This was $370 for 45min set and totally worth it also! Everyone was so surprised!! Once the band was done - we were still taking pics but the guests slowly filtered out to go freshed up before the private poolside reception at 6:30. **Normally they have cocktails starting at 6:30 and then dinner after but because we only had until 11:00pm to do EVERYTHING we asked Jazmin to have the food ready for 6:30. She was totally accommodating. We started right on the nose - and we shut-down right around 11pm. As much fun as it would have been to carry on - we were EXHAUSTED. My husband and I did not sit down the whole night. Mostly because we were keeping busy dancing and visiting. We had the BBQ buffet and it was DELICIOUS! SO many options to appease everyone's taste! What was nice is that the buffet included mini dessert options but we also had wedding cake for everyone too. We paid $88 to have a 2nd tier and was definitely worth it! We had given Jazmin a picture of a cake and she passed it on and it turned out perfectly! Once everything was over - we just went to bed. And we went and saw Jazmin a couple days later to pick up the marriage certificate (this was just a symbolic ceremony- so it wasn't legal) and she had packaged up everything that was left at the reception and ceremony for us. I'm told they dont always do this so if there's something thats super special to you- you may want to grab it yourself before you leave for the night. All in all - the day itself was perfect. I can't say this enough and I can't commend Jazmin enough either. She was superb! TRUST ME when i say not to worry about a thing. Jazmin and her people know what they're doing!! Sorry if this review is a bit all over the place - I'm trying to think of everything! If I've missed anything just give me a shout! I will answer any questions you guys have!

Thank you!

White cala lillies are - but the dark purple ones are not They will cost extra. I had them in my bouquet just a few days ago - but i did not order them through the resort - i used an outside floristn as they were much cheaper

Just got back from my wedding! Used Marvin - he was amazing!!! The only issue is that the flowers were about an hour late - but i had arranged for them to be there extra early just in case this happened so it all worked out in the end anyway...and the flowers themselves were PERFECT!!
