Hi dwbride2014, If you use their preferred vendors, then there is no vendor fee. I dont believe Ivan Luckie is one, I am pretty sure for photography the vendors are Ocean and Sarani. I have a Sarani brochure if you want to see it. Styling Trio is one of their preferred vendors, I have already confirmed this and plan to use them as well.

@ktov09 - I can send you a spa pricing list, I getting married at PP in June. You can use your resort credits and I've heard only positive things. No extra charge for reception on the beach deck if you have free private events (depends on number of room nights booked). Yes, Dj is only available until 10 for outdoor events.

Do you still have the raffia fans? If so ill take them.

Hi Lindsey! I am planning on bringing some things from home and curious..did you just pack everything in suitcases? I've seen that some people have packed plastic totes that the airlines were willing to transfer. If you could send me the contact info for both ladies, that would be great! My email is rachelholmes21@@gmail.com Thanks! Rachel

Hi Shelly! I am getting married 6.14.2014 at Playacar! I decided not to use their photographer, the prices were just too high for what they're willing to provide. I researched all of this way back in Sept, so i cant really remember all the specifics other than you dont get much time, few prints, they dont edit the photos (if they do on a couple) etc. I ultimately decided it would cost just as much to use as Ocean as me bringing my preferred photog with me to the wedding and paying for their stay (as a guest so no vendor fee). Congrats! Rachel Really i just remember the value wasnt there for what they wanted to charge. Hi Lindsey! Love the photos. I was just curious if you used the decor from the rental company or brought any of your own? Did you use a local florist or the resorts? Thanks! Rachel

Are you in the US? If they're still available, I am interested.

I have contacted her, and thats about it! I havent selected anything just yet, not because of her, i just havent gotten around to making the decision. I really need to get to it!

I think the dress was the hardest part for me, so don't worry, at least your wedding isn't until June. You've got plenty of time still girl. How are people handing out their OOT bags? Before the wedding, on check-in, having the resort do it? I saw a quote on our resort's wedding coordination spreadsheet and they said they'd charge $20 per room to hand out items for us. There's got to be a mistake there. If that's the case, we'll just go visit everyone's room ourselves. I am not crafty either... i am not even going to attempt to make my own bouquets LOL I have seen bloom bridal's photos, they do exquisite work! We will likely hand out the OOT during our "Welcome" dinner/cocktail hour (which is the night the majority of my guests arrive). $20 seems really high! Our resort is only $3/room. If it were $20, i think i would definitely just hand them out in person, thats just crazy!

151!!!!woohoo!!!!!

Can't wait til June at Playacar palace!!!

We have a website through wedding wire, but I'm not crazy about the limited functionality.

Thanks for sharing!

So helpful. Thanks!

It'll be here before you know it!

excellent ideas!

How's the planning going? So far, I only have a few things checked off my list: - supplies for barefoot sandals for OOT bags - tumblers for our guests - Bridesmaids dresses - Groomsmens clothes - My dress (thinking about getting a second dress for dancing, did anyone else do that?) - Groom's clothes - flower girl dress - real touch flowers for bridal party and decor I'm slowly starting to feel myself worry. Ahhhhhh This forum has been keeping me sane though, so a big thanks to the girls here! You are way ahead of me! I have some of the OOT bag items narrowed down, my resort picked out, my color (coral) and them (beach chic), date and time of the wedding, and i think i am going with real touch flowers as well. Thats about it. No dress yet! agghhh!

You can order by the case (i think 25 min, but they're $1 each) and have the case delivered to the store or you can purchase individually in a store.
