hey! who is everyone using for photo's? anyone know who is a preferred vendor at the resort so I don't have to pay an outside vendor fee!

[stephygirl]

@@Danielle1 I received my final purchase order and for my Zuniga lighting there was only a labor in/out and transportation fee for a total of $200.  There was no event decor planning fee!  We ended up going with 2 gold LED votive candles at each table, white under the table lights, and then the 4 columns with 2 string lanterns.  The whole thing (including the $200 fee) ended up being about $1,115.  

 

@@mj12102016 Hi Jamella - welcome and congrats!  I'm heading to Beach Palace at the end of the month and can let you know about the wind!  My fiance and I are having an event on the Infinity Terrace, the Sky Deck, the Sky Bar South, and the Palenque Terrace - so I should be able to give you a good idea of the least windy spot!  I'll provide an update once we return in the beginning of July!

 

@@jj575757 - we are using DreamArts photography, which is BP's preferred vendor at the resort.  They've been great so far, and very responsive.  Prices are pretty much equivalent to what'd you'd find in the US, but DreamArts gets good reviews and it ended up being cheaper for us than outside vendors we liked.  I've googled "Beach Palace Cancun Wedding Photo" and have seen people use a variety of different outside vendors if you want to compare prices and photo quality.

 

Also an update on TraficTours - they've been extra-responsive lately and we've gotten everyone's transfers booked.  Very happy now!

@@stephygirl Thank you so much for the info! Your wedding is so close. Do you feel like things started to come together once you got your onsite coordinator? I'm hoping mine will be more responsive than the current coordinator!

[stephygirl]

@@Danielle1 Oh my goodness I know, I'm getting so nervous and excited!  So honestly my original wedding coordinator was not very responsive at all until the past couple of weeks.  Part of it may have been that we didn't have a final count until April 28th (for our June 28th wedding) so I didn't finalize the "wedding information" excel spreadsheet until the beginning of May.  But things have really started to come together over the past few weeks.  My guess is that they tend to focus more on your wedding when it's 1-2 months out.  I can't remember if our wedding contract mentioned anything about having everything scheduled/paid for x days in advance, but we literally just paid for our purchase order yesterday!

 

Also, just yesterday my onsite wedding coordinator was assigned to me.  My original WC basically just cc'd the onsite WC on an email and said the onsite WC would contact me shortly to schedule an appointment during the first day of my stay at the resort.  Haven't heard from the new onsite WC yet, but it's only been a day so I'll cut her some slack

hey everyone! because I am now doing the complimentary package I no longer have a violinist included in my package. ( which is now $551 USD per 45 minutes!!) what is everyone doing for music for when they walk down the aisle?? Do they have an ipod player??

[stephygirl]

@@jj575757 I just asked my WC about this, since I wasn't sure whether you needed to bring your ceremony songs on a CD or if an ipod works.  The WC actually said they prefer the songs on an ipod!

[Danielle1]

@@stephygirl Thanks for the info about ceremony music! I was wondering this too.  Does someone run the sound for you or do you have to designate a friend to do it?

[stephygirl]

@@Danielle1  From what I understand your WC handles it (or has someone from BP handle it).  I can definitely come back and update you in a few weeks!
