Hello Renenewbride! Congrates on your wedding in June! We will be getting married on that Saturday June 15th at Playacar Palace. We were wondering do you plan on purchasing all your decor from the wedding planner or were you bringing some from home? Is there a big cost and convienience difference? Thanks and again Congrats!

When did people start to hear from their coordinator/should I reach out?  My wedding isn't until Sept 1 and the group events start Aug 30.  I'm just a little nervous w/our big group that we'll have the right space for everything!

I'm sure we will bump into one another! We will be married on the 13th but we will be there the 10th through the 15th. On the 15th we will go to Azul Fives until the 19th. We're still attempting to figure out decor. After receiving the prices from Dulce for the wedding collection decor I definitely have streamlined things. I'm still looking at the other vendors, but I may purchase my own decorations and take them down myself. Same with the florist. We opted for the complimentary package and we will only have 17 ppl total, but the private reception is $750. Things add up quickly :-)

Amanda since your wedding is far off you won't hear from the coordinator for a while. If you reach out and receive assistance it will most likely be from someone else other than your wedding coordinator. They typically won't contact you until about 90 days before.

Hi brides! Have any of you used Ocean Photo Studio (the preferred photogrpaher that the resort recommends)? I was comparing all the prices and they seem to be the most reasobly priced. Has anyone used them and loved their work? Are they easy to work with? Obviously, pictures are so important and i want them to be stunning, but we are also on a budget =/ Any help or advice would be much appreciated!

Hey Nicole, I just got back on the site today and re-read your message. My family met a bride that was coming as we were preparing to leave the resort. Was that you? If so you had a great turnout! I hope it was all you wished for :-)

Hey guys haven't sent the photographer the edits I want to have done yet but I'm going to post a few pics of the wedding. It was awesome! :-) The following pics are of the resort (Playacar Palace), cocktail hour and rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony, reception and the photo shoot we did with our resort credits before we went to Secrets Silversands for our honeymoon. Epic wedding and honeymoon!!

what venue space was your reception in?  When I did a site inspection I never saw this area?  Do you know the capacity as well?

Thanks

Hey there sorry so long to reply, this was at the Luna Lounge which I think is on the 5th floor overlooking the pool area. I'm not sure if it holds 60 or 100 people max. I loved it and the staff was excellent!
