Hi Liz, I am also getting married at the Riu Palace Mexico. Our date is February 14, 2013. I have many of the same questions as you, and I am having a hard time finding any information or reviews about this resort. I received an email from the resort today telling me which wedding manager will be looking after our wedding and that she will be in contact with me as soon as possible. When I get some answers from her, I will pass them on to you. Mel
