HOLY COW!!! I'm so excited for you Krysta!!!

 

Did you re-write your own Ceremony Script? I'm in the middle of that right now.

What cake flavor did you get?

Are you having a legal ceremony?

What last minute things are you dealing with???

Hello Real Resorts Brides & Grooms,

 

We have scheduled a BDW Wedding Webinar with Gina Johnson from Real Resorts.  She will do a presentation on planning your wedding at Real Resorts (The Royal Cancun, Gran Porto, The Roal Playa del Carmen and Gran Caribe) followed by a Q & A Session.

 

Wendy Hicks will also be a panelist to discuss the best travel options for you: Group Block vs. Individual bookings vs. Price matching and MORE!

 

This is a must-attend event if you are planning a wedding at a Real resort.  

 

There will also be a small gift for those that attend the webinar and get married at one of the Real Resorts listed.

 

Reserve your spot today because space is limited.  You can find more info: Real Resorts Wedding Webinar (The Royal Cancun, Gran Porto, The Roal Playa del Carmen and Gran Caribe)

Ladies, I'm waiting until I've got some spare time and photos back from the photographer, but let me just say everything was absolutely perfect. Best day of my life, and you will NOT regret this resort!

Hello Gran Porto Real Brides!

 

Blue Lens Caribe was the wedding photographer for a nice wedding a few weeks ago at the Gran Porto Real in Playa del Carmen.

For those who are looking for a photographer, here is a link to our blog for some pictures of the last wedding in that resort and some more http://bluelenscaribe.com/blc/photo-gallery/weddings/kristy-and-jasper-wedding-gran-porto-playa-del-carmen/

Hello Everyone!

 

It's my first post in this forum, I'm fairly new to BDW!  My fiance and I got engaged in January 2014 while we were on vacation in Phoenix and took a road trip to Palm Springs, California where he proposed!  We plan on getting married here at the Gran Porto Real in November 2013!  We are just waiting for pricing back from our TA to book the dates and than the wedding, then it's a go!  Reading all of your posts here has helped so much in the decision to pick this resort, so first I want to say thank you for that!

 

I just had a question about photography for you ladies, did anyone use the photographer provided by the resort for the photos of your ceremony?  I know I have time but I cannot decide if it would be beneficial to bring my own photographer, use the photographer on site, or pay the vendor fee and have a photographer come into the resort and do my pictures for the day!  I want to do a TTD, it's a must for me actually.

 

One idea I have been pondering is to use the photographer provided and get the ceremony pictures that come with the wedding package, and then book a mexico photographer for the TTD and leave with them for the day (the day after the wedding) and go to a TTD shoot else where.  That saves me the vendor fee and I still get pictures for both.  I have also contemplated asking a guest to take pictures of the ceremony and then again, booking a TTD with a photographer in Mexico.  Just another option.

 

Does anyone have any ideas, information, or reviews? What did you ladies do for your weddings? Did anyone use the photographer provided and how was it?

 

Thanks All, I look forward to hearing from you!
