Hi, Check out this thread for some answers to your question. Jennifer

Whatever venue you choose ask about their backup plans for if it rains. Many venues are under big palapas but sometimes the rains comes in sideways from the beach. Some places have plastic rolls that can be dropped and some have sliding glass windows. We recently shot at a location that didn't have anything in place and where the staff was not prepared when the rains came and they reacted too slowly - they put up tarps but all of the tables were already soaked by the time they got them up. They had to rearrange the table settings two times and finally had to place them in the entry way of the hotel when the rains came in sideways since that was the only place that was not open to the elements. So make sure you ask what their rain plans are! Jennifer

You can also see Adrain's work on our site too if you follow this link. He worked with one of our recent brides and used the airbrushing tool. Her makeup still looked great the next day at her trash the dress session! He's a really nice guy, too!

Hi KMOH, The only place in Playa that I can think of that is on the water and is intimate would be Le Revé which is a little north of town. Most places on the water have more of a big resort feel. I'm sure there are others small places but I just don't know them. Otherwise, if you are looking for intimate, on the beach, and good restaurants I would head to Tulum. There are MANY boutique hotels to choose from at varying prices. The night life in Tulum is more mellow but some fab restaurants! Dancing and night clubs are primarily in Playa. Another place that you could check would be Al Cielo. They are on a great beach south of Playa del Carmen but they might be too small to accomodate your group. You'll need to check. As for wedding planners: here are a few I can recommend. Jennifer - Marry Me Akumal Maria - Weddings in Playa Denise - Euforia Maju - Leanne Marie Weddings Best of luck to you! Jennifer
