Riu Palace Los Cabos

[gettingmarried]

Thanks for the review!! We are having a private reception on the beach. Did you pay extra for the meals? Was the food good?

We're looking at the Riu Palace in Los Cabos for Jan 2011.

 

Did you have to book your own blood tests, did you need a chest xray, and how difficult was it to arrange translation of your documents?

 

Thanks!

The WC arranges the blood test, they come right to your room is what I've been told. It was super easy to get everything translated. I just sent a copy of our BC to the translator and 1 week later she sent them to me. Then I called a lady who notrizes them. She came to me house and it took only minuets.

Hi ManTy,

 

Congratulations!!! I just got married there this July 2010. Excellent Resort!! All my guest had a fantastic time!!

 

You will have lots of fun planning your wedding.. If your planning to get your photos done by Mango productions (from the resort) they are fantastic!!! ... I got my hair done by Suzanne Morel - outside the resort since I have heard from other brides she is fantastic.. and she was!

 

Many many choices where to have your wedding.. Beach, gazebo.. The resort have amazing views wherever you have your reception.

 

Have fun!! =)

Hi ladies,

 

I'm a Riu Palace Bride for 2012 and have a few questions to those who know. I would like to know which florist the Riu Palace uses or if we can hire our own florist to have the flowers delivered? What is everyone doing with this?

 

Also about decorations, is anyone ordering different chairs for the ceremony or other decorations for the reception? I'm wondering how personalized we can make a wedding there? Do the WCs help you with this or are you pretty much on your own with making extra demands/reservations?

 

Any advice, help would be great!! Congrats to all

Hey, we are getting married at the RIU palace in november 2011.  I was wondering the same thing, also did you have to pay for alcohol for your reception.? We don't understand why you have to pay if its an all inclusive resort when we get free alcohol 24 hours a day.
