Hello, I was wondering if any of you used the Cancun Palace Resort Spa for hair and make-up. If so, how did you like it? Were you able to do a trial? What were the costs? I would hire an outside vendor but since they are so nasty about the outside vendor policy, I am thinking I might just resort to the hotel for H&M, but if they aren't good, I will need to figure it out! Thank you! Courtney

Has anyone used Adriana Salmon at Smile Market or DJ Erik Sabagh? These are the vendors they are offering at the Cancun Palace. Any thoughts???

These pictures are beautiful! The infinity terrace is amazing. I agree with you in that I am finding myself getting very anxious over the details because of the lack of communication. Whenever I ask someone from Miami a question, I feel like it takes a whole week to respond. I am glad I am not the only one! You mentioned you hired a photographer... did you use the one through the hotel? My concern is that the hotel overcharges and I am not sure who the photographer is. Also, I noticed a no outside vendors message in the contract. Looking at the forum, it looks like other palace resort brides say you have to add an amendment to the contract stating that you are allowed to use the outside sources, otherwise they have to pay a "displacement fee" which I hear is upward to $500. Have you heard about this? I thought we could just pay for a day pass for our vendors, but I guess its not the case. Have you heard recommendations from any DJS? I hear the ones they prefer cost a lot of money, and then here they try to discourage you through this displacement fee to hire outside of the hotel. I hear DJ Doremix and DJ Mannia are the better ones. Let me know! Thank you Courtney

Hi Ladies, I am getting married August 4 2012 and am very excited I will be at the Cancun Palace. I had a couple of questions/concerns and am hoping someone could help me answer them. 1) Do they every book 2 weddings on the same day? I noticed on the contract that the reception places were "subject to availbility", which pretty much freaked me out. Am I going to be having to fight for the terrace of my choice?! 2) Has anyone had the Diamond Collection? Any concerns/suggestions? Any pictures? Thank you so much! I love this forum Courtney

Hello Ladies, I will be getting married August 4 at the Cancun Palace. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the resort photographer. How were the services and were you happy with the pictures? Would you mind sharing them? Thank you!

Hi Ladies, Does anyone have any pictures of the Diamond Wedding Collection (preferably at the Cancun Palace)? Its so difficult to find pictures of this collection, and I would like to see a real wedding! Thank you Courtney

Thank you for the feedback/advice it was helpful. I was guessing it would be extremely hot but we are going to get parasols and hand-held electric fans for our guests Have you picked what locations you will have your reception/cocktail hour yet? Its always hard to make these decisions without seeing the place. Congrats on your wedding date! I hope we get to see some pictures

Thank you for such a great review. You gave me such great ideas. I had a quick question. On the contract I noticed that you are NOT allowed to bring "outside vendors". I notice though that everyone brings at least a couple of suitcases full of things, so are the talking about just food and beverage, not decor? I ask because I am bring my own table linens and most of the decor and wanted to make sure it was allowed. Also, regarding the subermisble floralytes, did you put those in and turn them on after you filled the vase, or before? Do they just sink to the bottom?

Hello, We are booked for the Cancun palace July 4 for our wedding. We have chosen the Diamond package, but has anyone seen the new 2012 collection by Colin Cawie? We are now thinking about switching to the Elegant Ivory collection. It is really beautiful! Also, on the contract I noticed that you are NOT allowed to bring "outside vendors". I notice though that everyone brings at least a couple of suitcases full of things, so are the talking about just food and beverage, not decor? I ask because I am bring my own table linens and most of the decor and wanted to make sure it was allowed. Thank you! Anyone know what the weather is like in August as well? I am guessing very hot (I just hope it doesn't rain). Feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]
