Getting married at tHe Hard Rock Cancun

Jenn Needham · February 13, 2014

Ah, what an amazing experience!
Just got back and I wanted to share some photos with you! (taken on my camera, not our professional ones)
Cintya (on site coordinator) was beyond amazing! Seriously, she was so great!
Ceremony - Perfect, lots of spectators. (but could be my hubbys fault since he was at karaoke the night before and invited the entire hotel to watch LOL)
Reception on Sunset Terrace - Perfect, great view, romantic!
There was a group of 22 of us (most of us are frequent travellers) and every single person had nothing but positives to say about the staff, food, beach, gym, location, and resort in general. Everything was above and beyond our expectations (which were high).

Also - I am a vegetarian and they gave me a card to present to all of the wait staff, in which I usually got a delicious special made meal
All in all, I recommend this resort to everyone whose looking to have an amazing wedding and week with their friends and family.

Thanks ladies! We just got our professional photos back, I am going to post some more for everyone to see!

Things that might help when planning:

Flowers – Beautiful, the FREE bouquet was gorgeous and so was the free boutonniere. (We didn’t pay for extras, just used the complimentary ones and it was more than enough)

Location – Beach Ceremony is on the beach outside of the ROCKSPA. Big crowd watching you along the beach and pool area. Its going to be HOT... There is no shade.. luckily our ceremony was short and many of our guests brought umbrellas to shade themselves.

We did our cocktail hour and reception on the sunset terrace, which was so beautiful.. we watched the sunset over the lagoon. It does get a tad windy so keep that in mind.. we had some centre pcs that kept falling over, Also lighting is minimal but we made do without paying for extra (might be difficult for speech makers we had someone use their cell as a flashlight LOL)

** We ended up not doing the double ordearves and instead did ordearves and dinner because we had already been there for 4 days and had eaten at all of the restaurants and didn’t want it to be repetitive. I am a vegetarian and they always made me special, delicious meals. They even gave me a card so when i went to a restaurant they knew to make me something without meat

OOT BAGS - We made OOT bags filled with crosswords, suduko, cards, eye masks, gum, sanitizer, first aid items (band aids, polysporn, Tylenol, tums) Everyone kept saying how much they loved the OOT bags and most used the first aid items.

Excursions - We did a snorkelling trip and used the resort credits which was fun. Other than that we just went into town on our own. My hubby and I have been to Mexico 3 times previous so we’ve done all of the adventure parks, pyramids, etc. but if you have never been I would suggest XPLOR and COBA (because you can still climb it)

Cyntia is awesome and will accommodate any request she can for you, she and the staff truly go above and beyond to make you feel like royalty.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

I am getting married at the Hard Rock next November, 2014. I was there for vacation last year so I am familiar with the resort, food, etc. I am wanting to know if anyone has any feedback about your hair/makeup done at the spa or how good the photographers are. I LOVE the work of Del Sol Photography and really want to do it and go with the complimentary Colin Cowie wedding package to off set this. Is this worth it? Also, I have looked into Norma Perez for hair and make up and would love to hire her. Is this worth it compared to what they have at the spa?

Thank you!

Hey @kaylanicole

My husband & I are pro destination wedding photographers living here in Cancun. We have shot many Palace/HR weddings with the Colin Cowie collection. Always looks very clean & beautiful in photos (yes even the comp package)!

Here are just a few samples...

We'd be happy to send you more samples along with our packages/pricing. Happy planning!

I booked my wedding for June 6,2015 but I too am very nervous bc I have never stayed there before! I'm having a difficult time picking flowers bc they won't send pictures. Any advice?
