This is our Family's Favorite place! Definitely A LOT more weddings here in the last few years.

Hi and congratulations again !! My fiancé and I (after tons of research) just recently both agreed that we are using this venue for our dream destination wedding and after searching KZread for reviews we found and watched your helpful & enjoyable videos (which normally it’s hard to sit through the entire video from the other channels we have watched) and decided to go forth and book. Oh and you gained two new subscribers today!! Yay! 💯👏🏽😁

Hi! Thank you so much for all of the helpful information. I was just wondering who did you message to confirm your wedding location? I’m starting to get confused with all of these people they’re handing me over. We our confirmation for our wedding 2 weeks ago. The sales rep told me that it’s the group and wedding manager now that’s helping me but I haven’t heard back for 2 weeks. Is that the person I need to email for the ceremony/reception location? Thanks!!

Hello did the resort not have a designer? They gave me a list of items that could be rented I’m having my ceremony there in October and I wasn’t sure if they did or didn’t.

This was very helpful, thank you. When you receive your marriage license from Mexico, do you then submit it to your local marriage license agency in the state you live in?

You need to be married before you have your ceremony in Mexico. Recommend going to courthouse in US before.

So glad that you found the video helpful! I chose to do a symbolic ceremony, which means I got married in the states first. You can actually get married on that day legally in Mexico but I don't know all the protocols. (I do know that it is a bit more complicated and I believe requires bloodwork.) definitely don't quote me on that. Lol.

Hi! Trying to find a good DJ at an affordable price lol. Would you recommend DJ Doremaxx? Or should I keep looking?

@NaadiaAron

6 ай бұрын

He is definitely affordable and comes highly recommended by a bunch of other brides. However, I will say that he played the Spanish version of my husband's mother/son dance and couldn't fix it which definitely ruined the moment. Other than that he was fine.

Can I ask why you got a vendor for the tent? Did the hotel not provide dance floor etc?

@NaadiaAron

Hi! If you do your wedding on the beach they pretty much only provide table and chairs (as of 2022)

Hi, did you get a wedding planner outside the resort? Because I'm looking at wedding planners but they are charging me like 4,000. I'm just not sure if I should spend the money, or the wedding planner provider from the resort is fine?

@NaadiaAron

Жыл бұрын

I planned everything by myself start to finish and once you get to the resort obviously you will meet with your wedding coordinator. I think that it is more than doable to do by yourself. I totally would not spend that money on a wedding planner.

Hi! I know this is a super late comment to your video! I requested information for this resort. They had said my entire group has to stay 3 nights minimum. Is there anyway around that?

@NaadiaAron

Жыл бұрын

I am not quite sure, when I booked my wedding that wasn't the rule I think it was only 90% of my guests had to stay at the resort. The only rule regarding three night stay was that it was required to be counted towards your concessions.

hi, how much did your guests pay for accommodation?

It varies depending on the length of stay and room type but I would say on average like $1200-1800

Communication was quicker in the beginning and then got increasingly slower as time went on. However, I have been hearing with a lot of the 2023 and 2024 brides that initial communication is very slow now as well. I'm sorry I wish I had more advice for you. Just be patient, they will definitely get back to you.

I am dealing with the same issue. I emailed the sales rep asking about a certain date, she responded back after about a week that the date wasn’t available, I emailed her back with another date, she emailed back days later saying it also wasn’t available. It’s a very slow and frustrating process. If anyone knows how to get ahold of someone by phone or a quicker approach, please let me know! Thanks for the tips and advice in your video! It was all super helpful as I pull the budget together.
