Tanya- I haven't heard anything about beach ceremonies, but I would assume that if there is enough beach to hold everyone, that they will do them. I couldn't imagine them turning down that extra business. I wouldn't be surprised if that is one of their many motives to restore the beach in the first place.

BTW, I haven't told you this yet, but thank you for posting your website link! It's a really great site! I hope you don't mind, but I used some of your wording for my Playa del Carmen and Playacar Palace pages on my site. You just summed everything up so well!

I know that is what I am thinking too! O no problem, take what ever you need, I borrowed stuff from all of the forum as well as the palace website.

tanya marie- thanks for posting those pictures. This has pushed PP into my top 3 choices!

[RaychelRae]

Wow! Thanks so much for posting those, Tanya! I'm so excited! I guess I'm not sure what I expected when I heard they were reconstructing. Obviously it meant that there was gonna be at least somewhat of a beach, but I still wasn't expecting much. It's totally better than what I thought!

I know me too!!! I am so excited, the PP was a great choice but I have to tell you FI and I were kicking the idea around of changing bc of the beach, it was the only thing that we didn't love, in addition, I had my heart set on having the ceremony on the beach, and just in the past couple of months did I come to terms with the fact that it wasn't going to be on the beach! So I am thrilled about the beach restoration.
I spoke to the WC today and he confirmed that they will be performing ceremonies on the beach. So I had him change my location ASAP.

Ok, I am very confused and was wondering if anyone who has actually been to PDC could help me out. We are having our wedding at the church shown, and are staying at Playacar Palace.

 

 

Up until this point I was thinking that they are pretty much catty-corner from each other, both right on 5th avenue and definitely within walking distance.

 

Just recently I've read somewhere that this church is actually on 12th street between 15th and 20th avenues. I've looked at maps of PDC that have little icons to show where churches are and there is in fact a church right by PP and another church on 12th street/15th-20th avenue...WHICH ONE IS MY CHURCH!?!?! I'm so confused! I thought we'd be so close that we could just walk to our church, and now I'm thinking we're going to have to rent vans : ( Has anybody actually seen where this church is in relation to Playacar Palace?? Please help straighten me out!

Hi~ I have been to PDC, and have seen the church on 5th, but to be honest I am not sure if the one in the picture is the same. If it is on 5th, it is about a 5-7 minute walk back to the hotel. What is the name of your church? Maybe you can ask Gilberto (the WC) or whom ever you are dealing with at the property. ( don't ask Miami office, I don't think they would know)
Also, I think one of the girls said that they were going on a site visit soon, maybe they will check it out for you. I am thinking about going for a quick trip over the summer, if you don't know my then I will definitely go to the churches for you.

Does anyone know if PP will allow you to bring in an outside photographer? I read on their site this is not allowed, however curious to know if it can be done for a fee or whatever?
