I'm looking into having PlayaWeddings for my photographer/videographer.  Has anyone used them before?  Need reviews please & if you're willing to share pics & videos!

 

Thanks!

I was just married January 29th and we used Playaweddings, they were really great and super professional. They did our photos and video, also we did the photobooth for our reception. Feel free to email me if you want any more info and I would be happy to share our photos/video with you, [email protected]

Our wedding at the OGX was perfect! Our wedding coordinator Melanie answered my emails prior to the wedding promptly and made our wedding day even better than we thought it could be. We had our ceremony beside the Mayan ruins right next to the ocean, it was private and beautiful! Our wedding reception was held in the beach club and Melanie set it all up so nicely. We used the resort dj and were very happy with him as well. We just got married on January 29th, so we don't have our professional photos quite yet, but cannot wait to see them! Here are a few pictures from the big day

my fiance and i are getting married 10/29/2014. i'm pretty sure we'll be getting married at Occidental Grand Xcaret - we're very excited. i already have my gown. anyone else getting married at the same resort or in Oct?   this is my dress ) http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/content/type/61/id/227150/width/200/height/400

We are getting married there January 29th

So far the wedding coordinator has been fabulous and it's a beautiful resort.

I had my first appointment with my seamstress mid November and booked my Edmond appointment for last Wednesday. I showed up for my appointment and she forgot I was coming, and she had yet to start my dress. I'm feeling a little nervous now, and just really hoping its done next time I show up. Eeeeek!

We opted for the private reception at the beach house as it is beautiful! The cost for buffet is $40 pp, or for sit down meal $50 pp extra. Also, we decided to add an extra hour for our reception at $18 pp/ hour. Here is the list of prices for additional items...

I'm having the same concern, our colors are an eggplant purple and grey and my mom bought a blue and black dress. I would like to let her know, but don't want to hurt her feelings either. Not sure what to do, but it would be nice if she would coordinate with colors better.

Well, it's official we are switching to the cliff/ruins location. Lol I'm so glad you posted those photos and thanks so much for your pros/cons list! We are sure we would prefer the more private location...and the view is fabulous.

Briggitte your photos are gorgeous and such a beautiful bride you are! We were planning to have our ceremony at the gazebo near the beach house, but after seeing your photos is leaning more towards the cliff. How was the pricing for the hair and makeup artists you used? Did you get charged the $60 pp for the outside vendor fee for them?

Thank Igerry!

Hi ladies! My fiancé and I are getting married January 29, 2014 at Occidental Grand Xcaret and are beyond excited! This week we ordered tumblers with straws for our guest gift, bought our guest book and I have finally decided on centrepieces. Now we are at the part where we need to get our music, vows, etc. figured out. Also, I'm looking into hiring a hairdresser and makeup artist, has anyone else found someone they would recommend? Happy planning everyone!

Thanks! I love the simplicity of it!

Found this at le Chateau and we both love it! My hubby to be looks so GQ

We went for a more informal look since we were going to be outside on the beach in mexico in the summer time. I still got the guys to wear slacks and let them roll up their sleeves. My groom wore a slim cut suit that looked relaxed but really classy.

So I haven't purchased my dress yet but I fell in love with a pair of shoes on http://www.jjshouse.com Here is the link to the shoes: http://www.jjshouse.com/Satin-Stiletto-Heel-Closed-Toe-Platform-Pumps-Wedding-Shoes-With-Rhinestone-Satin-Flower-047020106-g20106 I ordered on the shoes on August 11. The shoes arrived on August 20 in Vancouver, BC. Size: The shoes are very true to the measurements on the website. That is, the shoes should fit perfectly if you follow the website's measuring instructions. I need wide shoes so I bought one size larger to accommodate the width of my feet.

I had no interest in wearing a veil, but my mom wanted me to at least try one on... I did and all of a sudden felt like a bride. It really completed the whole look. I'll only wear it for the ceremony and pictures, but I do think it was worth it. Also, the lady at the bridal salon I went to suggested cleaning the house in it after the wedding, and that it would go great with a nice pair of jeans lol

At our resort we are only given three hours of time for the reception, is anyone else in this boat? We have the option to extend the reception at the price of $18pp per hour, plus the cost of having the dj stay longer. I'm just not sure how to pack it all into three hours and still have time to dance. Help!

I looked into doing a private catamaran for 40 guests, they include open bar and a light lunch...they stop for snorkelling, fishing and at the end for a swim. It will cost aprox $2400, which I would love to just pay for everyone...but is it wrong to just suggest it as an activity to do and our guests pay their own way if they are interested?

The ring pop idea is adorable!

Love this idea!

I would not have thought if this and I LOVE the idea, so personal and sweet.
