So I just received an email from Palace resorts stating that they added a promotion for weddings. The wedding couple will receive 1 room night for every 10 rooms booked and the number of free nights is unlimited. The couple has 2 years to use the free nights at any palace resort. Now, I wasn't able to find this on their website, but this does concern me. As the promotion for years has been free room nights based on total room nights booked not for the amount of rooma booked. Does anyone have any clarification on this? The free room nights is one of the reasons why we chose Palace and can surely get married in a country we never been to. Does anyone have any insight?

@@jsparrow10 thank you very good ideas. I never would have thought of looking at the rooms. @@MomentsThatMatter your pictures are absolutely beautiful. It is nice to see what the possibilities are. We are having a 6pm ceremony and I think it's great to see the night time shots.

Are you allowed to use your room credits?

@@calgarybride2015 flying out from home may be what we'll do if we decide not to go with the cost of flights. No, we aren't going to wait, we have a child and that's not feasible for us, especially with the way my vacation works. Our next vacation after the wedding should be a family trip

@@calgarybride2015 so, I actually Google a map to see what countries are close. I am not familiar with the resorts in Belize but Palace is only in mexico and soon to be Jamaica. I was trying to find a thread on here about belize. Although, I know my fiance really wants to go to Jamaica

I can't wait till I get to 150 . I hope I will be able to find this post

Thank you @@acw271011 this resort is expensive, but that's why we are planning so far out. People are asking about making their payments already.

We are most likely going to go with DJ discomovil. We are in the Philadelphia area and our family is from NY. We are into 9th hip hop and reggae. What I do know is this part of Mexico is VERY americanized. They listen to what we listen to and I honestly preferred the clubs in mexico than home

I'm in the US. We are not interested in honeymooning in mexico since our wedding will be our third time in mexico. So, we want something different. We chose Mexico because we're familiar with the area and Palace had the best group perks. We have considered flying home, doing laundry, and leaving out The next day. We are aiming for the 7 free nights from Palace and don't want them to go to waste. They are opening a Palace resort in Jamaica and I'm assuming we will be able to use free nights there as well.

@@kmk2016 that's a very good idea. Thank you

I will be visiting Playacar palace in a few weeks and I am working on my materials for our site visit. Are they any tips, lessons, questions etc. that you have that I should do, ask, or prepare for? Thank you

Anyone? I'm not familiar with resorts in Jamaica and I don't know where to start

Is anyone honeymooning in another country? We would like to honeymoon in either Jamaica, Aruba, Turks and Caicos, or the Bahamas. Flights from cancun are incredibly expensive, just wondering how you guys are handling this.

I stayed at the Riu palace riviera Maya and I do not like it for weddings. I have considered Riu palace Mexico, but I decided on Playacar Palace. I do not recommended RPRM because there is no privacy during your ceremony. The gazebo is right outside of the entrance for the spa/gym so you will have that traffic, which isn't too bad. BUT this gazebo is also right next to the pool. We saw about 3 ceremonies, which were all back to back but they took place during the pool activities. The pool has a DJ and the music plays loud during the wedding ceremonies. If that would be a problem for you maybe you can have them lower it. I also considered sandos Playacar, but my heart was set on palace resorts for their group incentives. I will say this though, if I got married in punta Cana I would've chose hard rock, and if I got married in any other country, I would've chose Riu. The service at RPRMis amazing, but the reviews about the mold are VERY true, we came home and our stuff smelled like mildew. We also had trouble sleeping due to the sheets feeling damp. I have had friends stay at Riu palace Mexico and have hadno complaints. I recommend you look on trip advisor to see the reviews of the resorts you choose. Yes the wedding resort is important, but you also want to make sure your guest will be satisfied on what they just spent money on. Hope this helps

On second thought. I am not liking the bkush and grey and I believe I am going to go with navy bridesnaid dresses. I did try on a blush dress. I'm not sure if I didn't like the dress as much as I thought I would, but I didn't feel much like a bride. I went to davids bridal to see how I liked the blush. I may have just been annoyed that day because the consultant kept bringing dresses and trying to push the white and ivory... like ummm. No. I have only 1 supporter of the blush dress, so a part of me feels that I'm not going to reveal my dress to anyone until the day of the wedding.

I booked my wedding at Playacar Palace, which has a 4 night minimum. How are you guys able to book one night at the resort for your vendors?

I just want to say DJ Discomovil just sent me his prices and I am floored. I love the prices, love how fast he responds. We will be meeting with him in September. Unfortunately the resort has this outrageous $800 vendor fee, but with the vendor fee his packages are still better.

Those are my colors, @@Mrsktobe I am trying to find stuff at great prices that I can buy little by little

@@tygrrlily thank you. So I've also read somewhere that if the complimentary ceremony package is chosen yiu can't use decor from other packages. I'm disappointed because I thought the credits could also be applied to use on preferred vendors as well.

Who is your dj? Just for clarification what can the room credits and wedding deposits be used towards if you chose the complimentary ceremony?

I belive moon palace in cancun is great, however I do not like that it is isolated. I love the quaint town feel of playa del carmen. I am excited for moon palace jamaica and maybe we will honeymoon there. It is just so unfortunate that Playacar Palace has a four night minimum

Does anyone have a list of preferred vendors and their prices? I go for my site visit in a few weeks and am trying to prepare. Also, has anyone had a ballroom reception? How do you plan to decorate it and what are the costs for some draping and uplighting?

Yea I have been looking. Playacar Palace doesn't seem to be a popular palace resort but we love the area @@acw271011

Anyone?

Hi, I never received such a guide and I have been asking them for that information and I have been WAITING for a response. If anyone has it, can they please email it to me bush.chanel@@gmail.com
