Im a PP 2013 Bride looking for some pictures and advice :)

Hey ladies!

I just scheduled my wedding at the Playacar Palace for February of 2013 and couldn't be more excited! We have the Honeymoon Suite for 7 nights and can't seem to find any pictures of what the room looks like, anyone care to share what they might have? I'd really appreciate it!

Hoping to get some advice on a couple things:

1) Would anyone recommend actually getting married there as opposed to getting married at home beforehand and then having the Symbolic ceremony at PP? It sounds like such a hassle with the paperwork, blood test, etc.

2) We are having the Complimentary Wedding and weren't really planning on jazzing it up at all (i.e bringing our own decorations, center pieces, etc.). Originally it was just going to be us 2 with no guests, but we did decide to extend an invite to those that want to attend and see us exchange vows. HOWEVER, we will be hosting a traditional reception at home so we are not planning one in Mexico as we cannot afford to do both. For those that have already had their wedding at PP, was the complimentary wedding nice? Was the cake and champagne offered enough for the guests? Or should I really consider getting some add-ons?

3) Would anyone recommend the salon at the resort? I was thinking of using the resort credits to get my hair did for the ceremony Or maybe a photographer instead?

I've been to Cancun and Cabo, but never Riviera Maya and I've never stayed at a Palace resort either. Nor have I ever attended a destination wedding to know what to expect, so any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!
