I have been working with BDW for couple of months and I realized I never posted who we are and what we do... It has been almost one year operating this fabulous project and following this dream since Iam a devoted wedding planner. I decided to start this wedding firm in Cancun -Riviera Maya- Tulum area after being myself a resort wedding coordinator for 8 years and had already 600 weddings in my career , I needed something new and a new challenge, and then having two other partners . We opened Ultimate Mexico Weddings. We are a wedding firm based in Cancun-Riviera Maya focused in the personalized planning and wedding design in a natural ambience and unique locations . Through the 8 years I had the fortune to learn and work in different resorts as Paradisus, Intercontinental Hotels, Crown Paradise ,Secrets Excellence , NH Resorts , Now Jade and Now Sapphire and I have to say that the best school that I could received was in AM Resorts company during 6 years , nothing but good things to say about those resorts , their management and all the brands but one in special Dreams Tulum where I worked for 3 years (only for affective reasons because all of them are good) . When we started this project we had the vision , to create and discover new and unique locations to make memorable weddings...have only the best vendors in the market and create new proposals ,I have the pleasure to work with very professional people , chefs, catering service, pastry, photographers , videographers , musicians , flower design , make up and hair artist , furniture and decor ...they are my team and we work in the same direction : Customer service and quality. You can find more about us in this BDW Forum , we have a page as vendor under Ultimate Mexico Weddings Thank you all and Happy Planning to all the brides in BDW Forum Follow us in Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ultimate-Mexico-Weddings/287804654582630?ref=tn_tnmn Sandy Planner

I agree with you Jana He has amazing pictures , equipment and He is very nice person! I always recommend him !!!

Hello Ladies!!! I had the pleasure to meet with the wedding staff at the Beloved! It is very pretty property and intimate since it is only 109 rooms , Please find below an small report or feedback of my visit this week . Feel free to contact me if you have any questions , I visited this because a clients are getting married there in December! The resort is located about 30 minutes from the airport , They have a very private entrance you can feel the exclusivity. The Beloved and Excellence Playa Mujeres are next each other walking distance of maximum 5 minutes , the ambience at the Beloved is very peaceful and relaxing , the Lobby area , , front desk and Concierge are all together , the staff was very friendly and attentive , all the guest get a welcome drink as they arrive .I met Alejandro one of the wedding coordinators there. The resort is only 109 rooms , they have this area called Casitas where you can find 4 rooms together , that would be very nice for a wedding group I think because you can keep close each other. Unfortunately they didnt show me any of those because they were not available They have pools all around the buildings and the Beach area is very clean , I like the fact that the first floor room have access directly from the rooms to the pool, the have a very spacious Balcony with 2 louge chairs and one very comfortable "pool bed" all that in the balcony. For the restaurant part , they only ofer 3 options , Seafood , Mexican and Mediterranean.They open all for dinner . Isla Grill serve breakfats directly on the beach under a beautiful Palapa that could be used for wedding reception at night. The entertaiment is limited since it is a family resort focused in relaxation , they only have live music in certain areas of the resort in different times of the day , I could see a band playing live music at the Lupita Lounge (sushibar). It was nice . In the pool there is large pool Bar and I could see people having fun there, there is background music in the area. Wedding Locations: They have basically 3 wedding locations for ceremony on the Beach , under the Palapa ocean front , or the Lupita Hall (no ocean front ) For the Receptions and Cocktails they have : 1. Lupita Lounge (cocktails & hor douvres) Semi Private 2.Aroma Terrace (Cocktail and Reception & Dancing)Privately 3.Palapa on the Beach (Reception & Dancing)Privately 4.Restaurants could be used Non Private under resevation only for dinner. 5. Pool Terrace (by the Isla Grill ) My Recomendation: Ceremony : On the Beach Cocktails : On the Beach Dinner : Palapa on The Beach(a) or Aroma Terrace( They allow maximum 3 weddings per day , but He told me that The Beloved is amaller than the others resorts so usually there is one per day. Vendor Fee: They have an in house photography service called Juan Carlos Lancelot , if you would like to bring you own phtographer there are two options: a. The photographer could stay in the resort (1 night) to be part of the group or He can pay the vendor fee of $500 usd (per person) , I suggest definetely pay 1 night . b. The same policy apply for other vendors . Pricing & Wedding Packages : The Beloved only handle one wedding package that cost 850 usd and basically includes the ceremony for 10 ppl , a basic wedding cake and a toast for 10 ppl as well , you can add whatever you want to that package. The reception cost $45 usd plus tax and gratuty that give us : 57usd that includes: 1 hour of cocktails hour , 3 hours of dinner reception.(basic set up included and no music) Only cocktail hour : $16 usd plus tax and gratuity , 2 hrs cocktails and hour douvres Day Passes: $80 usd per day per person. In Genral this is the information that I got ,I have pictures too...let me see how I can share it with yopu!
