Are thinking of having your vow renewal at an all inclusive or off resort in mexico? Happy Planning!

@@Vivthebride Welcome to the forum, where you ca start is simply contacting a Travel agent, I always suggest you look at one that is dedicated to destination wedding. Also you might want to ask yourself what are the amenities resort should have. also what price point do you consider affordable for you and your guests. Happy Planning Joyce

@@Starum2288 unfortunately most location do charge for lighting. even if you buy them yourself,you will get charged the set up fee. Happy Planning Joyce

@@rbehlke, Lucky you the Riu Palace Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen, Mexico is super close to the central so the are plenty of local spa that are affordable. I was trying to attach the file but couldn't for some reason, feel free to reach out i can share with you the lists. Some of the local spas are being owed by Canadians plus the prices are in the local currency.. Happy Planning!

@@4thelongHALL welcome to the forum, you definitely want to get a TA on board. One that specialized in Destination Wedding like the owner of this page. they can guide you based on what you are looking for. there are some good deals that may work for sure In case June has prices that you feel are high, you might consider the low season is between August until 15th Dec. that also include hurricane season. you might want to go for Nov to 15 DEC. which has better weather. You can find the bare feet jewelry on many site, check etsy.com Happy Planning!

@@andreapurcell1 I second @, beach palace has a beautiful rooftop 360 vies of both beach the lagoon. The beach is just so amazing. Please follow link of a wedding we did at Beachpalacecancun in 2015, https://dreamweddingsrivieramayablogdotcom.wordpress.com/2015/11/14/mahsa-and-kiarash-beach-palace-cancun-resort-cancun-destination-wedding/ Are you working with a travel agent? if not I would definitely bring one in. Happy Planning! Joyce

Also @@Deannak azul fives has some beautiful options in case of rain. Happy Planning!

@@bluenkj Moon Palace turns to do a lot of the Hindu Wedding. I would definitely look into them more , also you might want to refer to a TA. Happy Planning.

@@DLS2016 for $900 you might find photographers for beach Trash The Dress! simply because for Cenote TTD they mostly use different/ special equipment and that costs a bit! Happy Planning!

@@Incubus42088 , in both times I have the butterfly release requests, they were found dead at time of releasing them. I would advice dove release just the 2 of you. Yes resort coordinator should be able to help you find this one. Happy Planning! Joyce

@@Cielito848 Hacienda del Mar/del Corazon I know both locations very well, but most of my clients who are looking for a villa wedding end up doing their wedding at Playa secreto. Especially because its a gated community with various villas and a stretch of a beach/super private. other villas are more flexible that others. Budget depends on many things. for us no 2 weddings for 60 guests will have the same budget. why? because everyone prefers something different. other clients would spend more on decor and others not. hope this makes sense. what you might want to do, prep a vision board and ask both villas to filling estimation costs. to give you a better idea. I am happy to share with you other villas inside of play secreto to give you a better idea. Feel free to reach. Happy Planning!

@@beachbeth, Have you tried a different location? Mexico might be cheaper. Seeing that Dec is the beginning of high season in most places with the Christmas. The owners of this page have some Travel agent in Canada, I would reach out to them to get a second opinion. Don´t get discouraged start by checking your options. Happy Planning!

@@hardyali is absolutely normal to be on panic mode. FYI you are going to have an amazing time. make sure you take the time to look around you and be in the moment. how many times in our lives do we get all the people we love to be in one place at the same time? Happy Last month of Planning!

This is so Exciting a specialist for Disney here Hope everyone gets to see this post!

@@badgerbride Lucky you, there hotel is right in the hearts of playa, so this means you have some good options with walking distance. it all depends on what your budget is for hair and make up.

Thank you for being my Dad (Song for Dad)other option, check in with your dad he might just surprise you of song Happy Planning

@@kimmyd2 you wedding is coming in like 9days !! yuppy! Enjoy every moment of it!

@@SunshineDreamKay, As far as I know, We Wedding professional in Mexico take of what do, we are so used to doing events back to back holiday included. I wouldn't be worried. I would make sure I work with vendors that i see their reviews and feel comfortable working with . November will have cooler weather and its still in law season. Happy Planning!

@@komalley12 here is what I suggest you think about, if your 4 locations are private not resorts. Talk to your possible coordinator , you plan on hiring for the Month of. See if they do not offer the service of site visit. Reason being, they can already share with you plenty of information about the different locations. Also this help you get to know your coordinator a bit. Happy Planning!

@@ElizaS Mexico is such a big country, to be exact Spring breakers are mainly in Cancun. But you still have Playa del carmen to tulum to choose your all inclusive without crowded beach. HAppy PLanning!

@@HollyMartinz Welcome to the forum, Tulum has a lot to offer and has some amazing beaches. Have you picked a location yet? Tulum is one of the expensive areas in Riviera Maya, I am not sure what you had in mind in terms of budget. The most important thing is for you to find a location or resort that works with your budget. also is it in the low or high season? All budget differs for everyone. Happy Planning!

@@badgerbride May is a popular month to get married in Mexico, I do have a bride getting married at the Grand Hyatt playa del carmen, but its not until the fall. Did you have a specific question about the hotel? we love their beautiful grounds.

@@weddingcancun2016 where is your wedding taking place? I must be honest I am not sure where you can get the following in those prices. photographer for elopement maybe $500 usd for 2 hours session just to give you an idea Videographer I work with a number of them. I have never seen anyone charge the price for videograpeher . for how many hours do you need them? Mariachi Mariachi for a 45 min $350 usd Fire Show also depend on how many people you have doing the show. some tips: if your budget is tight, I would definitely cut out videographer, have you checked if one of your guests has a good eye to capture the video. so you can save on that? weigh out what is more important and then take it from there. Happy Planning!

Welcome to the forum @@vanessajfelice 10% of our brides each year, choose to do a site visit. this depends from person to person. Here is a short list of what you can do first, for what ever reason I couldn't attached the longer version. 1. draw up a list of things you want your hotel to have. (amenities) 2. get in-touch with a TA who specializes in Destination wedding 3. book resort/bock date 4. book photographer , hair and make up and DJ 5. decide on the Decor, its sounds like you are looking to DIY. plan out the things you want to DIY and the ones you will book with the resort. most of our past bride have brought lots details for the tables, candles , guests book etc. 6. Etsy has some great options on welcome bags https://www.etsy.com/market/wedding_welcome_bags 7. Have lots of fun doing all the above. because before you know it it would be September. Happy Planning!

@@hardyali usually these things sort themselves out. Other options is to create a watsup group everyone can always connect to the wifi. Happy Planning and Happy New year! Joyce
