@@SusanMarie813 thanks so much, and yes I'm using DestinationWeddings.com. I hate their flowers too, and would rather pay for artificial flowers that I can use as a decorative piece in my home decor afterwards! @@lizzjameson thanks for the heads up! I hope those prices stay the same. I feel like it's all a marketing ploy to make it seem like they're this uber luxury place (not to say that they aren't, but having the prices crossed out does nothing for me). My fiance and I are hoping to nail down our date while we're there for the site visit in November. We really hope it lives up to the photos and videos that we've seen, cause we're tired of looking! LOL

@@SusanMarie813 I am getting the gold wedding package too and am a little confused by some things. Is there a photo package included in the wedding pacakage price (and if so, which package? Packages 1-7). It seems like it's insinuated but it's not clear whether you get an hour of photo or etc. Also are the bride and groom's flowers an additional cost or do you just select the flower code that you want based on the wedding package you're getting? Did they really hold you to the 90% of the wedding party must stay at the resort?

@@texheather yes, I've stalked them like crazy and am proud about it. I will say what's disappointing is their lack of responsiveness. Maybe I'm just used to how quickly vendors here move, but as an anxious bride, I kind of expect answers within 2 business days. I know they're super busy, but when you're so far from the destination, you need something to put your heart at ease. Good luck with everything I hope you have a blast! @@SusanMarie813 OMG I'm so glad that I saw your post about the photographer and the vendor fees. Ours is a professional who just so happens to be a family friend. Did you have to explain this to Finest or did you still use their in-house photographer but just for something else?

@@airsusie congrats on getting married! You looked magnificent, and I'm so thankful you shared your photos. You truly are a Godsend! I've been pouring through the forums, and I feel so much more confident about going with Finest, so I'm glad to hear your wedding went off without a hitch. I'm excited to do our site visit in November and get the wedding planning going! @@NE112015 you are awesome. Thanks for sharing this! @@texheather you make me feel like a slacker! We're planning on a May 2017 wedding and we're just planning our site visit for November 2015. I've been working with Destination Weddings, and they warned me about the hotel's response time. I guess so many people complained. I'm happy to hear everyone is having a great experience so far, and I cannot thank you all enough for sharing these resources. So glad I found this forum!

I am so happy to have found this forum. My fiance and I read about and fell in love with Finest Playa Mujeres. We're planning a trip down there in November to do a tour of the facilities, and it is our hope that we can confirm our wedding -- just like that! LOL Reading you ladies stories has been so great as it's so far away, and I'm a bit nervous.
