Excellence Playa Mujeres Brides Post Here!

[Brennas]

WHAT? Juan Navarro is not the photographer? I just talked to Yamina a couple of weeks ago and was told he is the photographer. I really liked him! Hopefully the new one will be just as good, or I may end up paying the fee to bring him in.

 

Congrats to all the new brides on here! It's really exciting!

 

I am leaving to go to the Excellence in 2.5 weeks! My maid of honor and I are going for the site inspection and to meet Yamina. I am so excited to get to see the resort and to get to talk to Yamina.

Juan isnt the photographer?!?! Crap, I guess I have to find out who the heck is now. Thanks for that info!

I may just use Del Sol now...

Brennas I am sure when you are there Yamina can tell you the deal & maybe show you some sample pics!

I want to come with!

Hi Ladies!

 

I just returned from EPM on Saturday.  My boyfriend proposed while we were on vacation and we got to see a few weddings while we were there.  I immediately decided that I wanted to get married at EPM.  I have requested my date from Yamina but haven't heard back yet.  Crossing my fingers for April 6th, 2012 at 5pm!  Is it true that you need to book your room to confirm your date?  I'm a little worried about that because the only site that I can find to book the room so far in advance is the EPM site, and their prices are WAY higher than what I paid for this past trip.

 

Can't wait to start planning!!

We got married there Feb. 19, 2011 and Juan was no longer the house photographer, They now use a company called Blue lens, They were great to work with and the pictures were great, any questions let me know.

 Thanks for that info alwayssunny! Good to hear that you had a good experience with them. I have emailed Yamina, waiting to see if she can give me some examples of their work. I'd like to check them out before we use them

Thanks for the info alwayssunny. Odd that I was emailing Yamina about this in March. I bet the ratespricing packages are the same & its just a different vendor.

 

IliaPSU Congratulations! Yes, you need to put a deposit on your room for confirmation and I used one of Tammy's TAs! Definitely recommend them!

The travel agent I used said she would rebook us if the rates dropped before our date. You should be able to work something similar out. I just married there last month and Im still floating on a cloud

Ladies,

 

Wow I have less than two months until my wedding date. It is so close, I can almost feel the sand between my toes! I got an email from Yamina today stating that we need to decide on cake, menu, flowers and decor at least one month before the wedding starts. I'm having a few issues and I'll be asking Yamina as well, but I thought I'd check with the wealth of knowledge available on this site.

1. She sent us a bunch of options for cake style but nothing about flavors. Does anyone have cake flavor info to share?

2. I'm having a lot of trouble deciding on flowers and decor based on the photos. For brides that have already been married here or have already made these decisions, did you pick straight from the options she gave or did you send her ideas of your own?

3. For the gold menu options there are two entrees listed per menu. Am I to understand that each guest receives two entrees or is this an either/or sort of deal?

Any tips from brides who have already made these choices would be greatly appreciated!
