liz24 I have only been in contact with a coordinator a few times so far. My assigned coordinator hasn't contacted me yet and from what I am told they will contact me two months before the wedding date so hopefully I hear from them in the next few weeks. I plan on picking flowers beforehand but who knows. Someone had forwarded me the information they had from the resort and their wedding photos from last year. As far as flower and cake options go the quality of the photos the resort sent the previous bride are terrible and basically leaves you guessing as to what you're actually picking. Hopefully they improve that. My fiancé and I are getting legally married in Canada before we go so we will just be doing the symbolic ceremony, my understanding is that either the wedding coordinators or someone else they have performs the ceremony. We originally wanted to have our ceremony on the beach, but I think we're changing it to the gardens. My reasoning for that is that it's a fairly busy beach with onlookers everywhere. Even the area where they perform the beach ceremony is packed with vacationers (I'm going based on the beach ceremony photos I have found). Lastly, our group is about 30 people right now and I don't expect it to grow and we definitely plan on having a semi-private dinner. What are you doing for photography?

Julie, I'm getting married at Riu Palace Mexico in May of this year. I should be hearing from the wedding coordinator assigned to me in the next month or so and can most definitely pass on information they give me at that time if you're still interested. It was hard for me to find any information on it before booking, it seems like most people get married at Riu Palace Mayan Riviera.
