@@Camz Congrats on your engagement, and for choosing mexico as your location. This is a great question.

Here is my advice, the big difference is when you hire a wedding planner they work for you and would negotiate vendor prices, oversees everything of your wedding through out the planning process to the wedding day. become your eyes and ears until you get to your destination location.

Resort coordinator, they work for the resort. If you have plenty of time and patient you will be fine working with them. Some resort would have a different doing doing the planning part with. Then around the 3 month mark to your wedding you would be put in touch with the resort coordinator. however there is only so little they can do it terms of prices. etc because its not easy to negotiate the resort packages.

I have found that brides who are type A , need a planner and they still use the resort coordinator.

Hope this is helps and happy Planning!
