ROYAL PLAYA DEL CARMEN BRIDES: were kids allowed for the day? ...and other questions

2mckee · February 25, 2010

Does anyone know if they are willing to do an entree pairing?? (i.e. half portion of steak with half portion of salmon?)

Diane - Lili was really nice and she did a really good job answering all of our questions. She seems very calm under pressure which is a good thing

I asked her if she was going to be my WC there but they don't get assigned until about 2 months out.

I have a couple of questions...

1. Does anyone have the menus for the Luxury package? Email is [email protected]

2. Does anyone know, if there is a minimum number of people you HAVE TO have for a private reception, what happens if you are short 1 or 2? Like say its 20 (like we think) and we show up with 18? I don't see why they would care if I am paying $1500 more to them for the higher package?

3. If I don't have enough people and I am stuck with a semi-private reception, does anyone know what restruants you can choose from and if you still get a dance floor or sound system or anything?! I really want my first dance And do they do a sepreate menu or do you chose off the restruant menu?

Could you tell me where you ordered your real-touch flowers from? I've been going back and forth and can't decide what to do. I haven't been able to find any real-touch place that is affordable that are taking orders still for May weddings. Thank you!

I'm using wedideas. Their site is Realistic Silk Wedding Flowers, Natural Touch and Silk Bridal Bouquets. They will do custom orders though and their deposit is 40%. The rest you pay after you approve the design they send you.

Lady Di, I actually quoted that person on etsy out and she was very cheap, but she couldn't do any of the bouquets I wanted unless I paid outrageous shipping charges to get them from foreign countries. She seemed a bit limited in what she could work with so I moved on. I just saw a bouquet online that I absolutely fell in love with and had to have. So nothing against her, it was all me.

Could anyone please e-mail me the list of the hot hor d'houves, as I just decided to add the cocktail reception and was never provided a copy of them. My e-mail address is [email protected]. Thank you so much in advance!

Chair sashes, table runners, fake rose petals, all of my centerpieces, cake topper, glowing orbs (for the main table), wicker fans, and pashminas.

Maracas and cigars will be purchased in Mexico.

Flowers aren't really a big priority to me so i just went with what she already had. I'm glad you found a bouquet that you love!

What's the Royal's policy regarding fake petals? I would think they're an environmental hazard since they can blow away to the ocean.
