I saw people with other photographers there? is the only way of getting them them in by getting them a room overnight? i wanted an outside photographer because i wasnt sure if the resort one was any good? any info?

The Bota Fogo restaurant is pretty formal and can fit 100 people. The RPRM also has the Dan Manolo (I think that's what it's called) main restaurant which is bigger. They only offered me Chillis or Bota Fogo...other restaurants are off limits. You can always ask.

You could contact Edith or Cynthia at email: [email protected] to inquire, but they might take forever to respond to you if you haven't booked your destination wedding with them. You can also call them:

Edith Domínguez
RIU Hotels and Resorts
Weddings Manager
Playa del Carmen
Tel +52 984 877 42 00
ext 811


As for the photographer, yes, it's the only way they will allow outside photographers is if they are guests.

Here are a collection of clips that I shot at the RIU Palace Riviera Maya. The first one, Melanie & Matt is at the RIU Mexico next door. The reception footage in Erica & Bob's Wedding Day Edit is from the Chili's restaurant.
