I have extra bags too. I will sell for $1 each plus shipping. Heres what i have left please private message me if you are interested. 2 red 7 pink 13 yellow 12 green Alyson

I have a ton of information since my wedding is there in just under 3 weeks. If you private message me your email address i will forward you some attachments with prices.

Not sure if these are available to be shipped to Canada, but here is where im going to order from. http://www.shadesoffun.com/01/001.html I think they are the best deal i could find. Hope that helps.

I think i got mine in March this year. I would say try and wait cause the bags are great, but have a backup plan, like maybe oriental trading. Their shipping was pretty fast.

Im not doing an at home reception so i cant respond about that. But on the room situation we also were kinda annoyed they would only do 20 junior suites for room block but in the end we had a lot of people book ocean view suites, they were acutually getting booked faster than the junior suites.

Or even better really only need 36 if you would split them up.

Are there still some left? I would be interested in 50. Let me know when you get a chance.

Hi Kim, It is definitely not a fun process so i understand your frustration. I did a group contract for everyone i invited. I tried to estimate at most how many rooms i would need and signed for that amount. In our contract we had several deadlines for times and penalties for releasing rooms. I basically told all my guests they had to book by our first deadline which allowed us to release any number of rooms for no penalty. I think it was around 120 days out. At that point i released all rooms that werent booked. Hope that helps.

Thanks! Thats great. I have bad visions of me trying to DIY.

So i just found out that hydrangeas are not in season in cancun area in December. I totally had envisioned nothing but hydrangeas so im a little bummed. Now i need to come up with a new plan. I like very simple/claasic looks and im pretty sure we want to do all white centerpieces. Anyone have any ideas for a hydrangea substitute. Any help would be awesome!

I am pretty sure they offer fitness classes in the spa area. Also the spa is absolutely AMAZING! One of the best massages I have ever had. Any spa treatment you get comes with a special water treatment called aqua viva which was very fun and cool. Its an hour treatment you do before your massage or facial or whatever you are doing and they take you throguh this very cool water circuit with whirpools/showers/steams/etc. i dont think my explanation is doing it justice but i thought it was great. You can also do this aqua viva as a stand alone therapy for i think a very reasonable price, although i cant remember what it was. They also have a discount on spa treatments if you book before you arrive as well as daily discount for specific therapies once you are down there. I highly recommend the spa.

Congratulations! Im getting married there december 8th so not that far away from you. I have been to the hotel and you will not be dissapointed. Plus all the brides who have gotten married there already rave about it. Looks like you made a fabulous choice!

So glad to hear it was all amazing! When you get pictures will you please share. Also did you do the rehearsal dinner as the beach bonfire, and if so how was it? What food choices did you go with and were you happy with thise choices? Congratulations!!!

Thanks!

This may be a stupid question, but how do you make the survival kit/oh shit kit topers? I know there are lots of templates out there but im curious how you actually create them, how and on what you print them on, and how you attach them and what you attach them to? Any guidance would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

Thanks for all the information. I was previously told the in house photographer was vipphotos, so now im really confused. I just emailed alex to confirm. Hi danielle my wedding will be at the beloved in december so pretty close to you. Did you make a decision on photography yet? I have lots of emails out right now for quotes. The webinar was ok. It was nice to get some answers right away considering it takes a lifetime to get a question answered from the wc over email. Well also be doing a symbolic ceremony but we are having a rabbi perform it for us who is coming to our wedding as a guest.

Welcome! Where else are you looking? Good luck with your visit!!

Clee were you able to find any other information about photographers that the hotel allows? Im starting to rethink using the photographer through the hotel but all this looking around is making my head spin. Im also not opposed to using the hotel photographer but haven't been able to find any reviews on them, which I dont like. Any help on photographers would be very much appreciated.

sort of. i heard back from Nayeli who told me that Alex was the new WC. I emailed him with a ton of questions and havent heard yet. Im just trying to sit back and be patient since i know I have a lot of time. I heard they have a lot of april/may weddings there this year so they are probably a little swamped. Im a little bummed I might not be able to participate in the webinar anymore. I have to go out of town and I might be in the car when it happens. im trying to find out if I can watch the webinar after its LIVE just to see what they have to say.

I think were going to use the photographer that works with the hotel. I think they are called VIP photography. Thats interesting that del sol doesnt work with them, they were a top choice for me but now that I know they dont I wont even bother to look into it. I was happy with VIP photography's website and figured it was easier to work with their vendors and then I dont have to pay an outside vendor fee. I wish I had heard from the WC its starting to be very frustrating. I spoke to her on the phone on Thursday and she said she was having problems with the computers but that everything would be up and running by Friday and that I would hear from her then, still nothing though. Im going to call again tomorrow. Let me know if you hear from her.

I am using Wendy Hicks from Wright Travel. So far I have been very happy. Still no word from the new WC, have you heard anything?

I am also a midwest bride from chicago planning a wedding at the beloved hotel in playa mujeres mexico. I have using wendy at wright travel agency so far she has been great!

Hi clee0605. I am also planning a wedding at the beloved. Mine is december 8th 2012. I was getting responses very frequently from daniela and then i heard she is no longer working there and the new wedding coordinator is nayeli. I havent heard from nayeli at all in a couple weeks i even called over there and was told i would get an email response soon but i havent. I think im going to call again today. I am also participating on the webinar and im looking forward to getting all my questions answered. When is your wedding?

I just registered for the webinar and I am looking forward to it!

I agree. I know there are lots of people that have had their wedding there and would love to hear more about it. I have been to the resort and it was absolutely fantastic which is why we decided to have our wedding there. The service, the food, the rooms, the spa, everything was just great. Hope to hear from some other La Amada (the beloved) brides soon.
