Becoming a V-Rated Critique

Last week my dear wedding planner friend from Vancouver, Canada

Kerry Reid asked me to organize a group of talented wedding planners

in my area to have a meeting about:

The idea was to have a small group to start with and

get started as VENUE CRITIQUE SPECIALISTS

for the first WORLD WIDE wedding and special events

venue and location blog and web page for reviews.

Elsy at the great Hotel in Playa del Carmen The REEF Playacar

was delighted to be our hostess for this great evening full of new

discoveries and great expectations about what our NEW task as

wedding coordinators on the Cancun & Riviera Maya area will be.

After our teaching and learning experience we moved to

the Italian Ristorante CENACOLO in Playa del Carmen.

Located at 5th Avenue and 28 street.

We were treated excellent by the Restaurant's Public Relations Manager

and their amazing sommelier.

Our Menu included 2 glasses of red one and one of white

and the great selection of food was:

ENTREES.

Cenacolo beef carpaccio

Sword fish carpaccion

and baby calamari "Cenacolo" flowered and broiled

served with a final touch of balsamic glaze of the house

and arugula.

MAIN COURSE.

Hand made pasta:

"Only the strength of a man is needed, over a wooden

table, with a rolling pin and a knife" quote by owner Mauro Amati

Spaghetti "guitar" style with assorted sea food

Don Tino's four cheeses tortelli

and the famous (since 1988) "Little green hats"

filled with ricotta cheese and prepared

with a touch of butter and sage sauce

For dessert we had their awesome TIRAMISU & PANA COTA

we asked also for a traditional italian Cappuccino coffee

Our great experience with our hosts made us sad the night was ending.

We had an amazing time talking bout our future projects and

saying "cheers" to our new V-Rated family.

Cancun. Riviera Maya. Tulum. Isla Mujeres. Cozumel

all the venues in the area get ready because you will

have someone from V-Rated coming your way soon!!!

But how can you be sure a venue is right for you? What questions should you ask when considering a location? Here are the three major issues you have to address before you decide for your Destination Wedding Venue:

1. What style of destination wedding are yo looking for? This is the first step to create a bigger idea about the kind of destination wedding you are looking for: classic, whimsical, country, fair, beach, vineyard, rustic, fairytale, vintage, hippie-chic, retro, modern or romatic style. This will define pretty much the place your dreamed idea would be more likely to fit perfect with the natural surroundings of the destination.

2. What kind of atmospehere are you thinking about? Here you ask your selves if you want an outdoor or indoor wedding, this pretty much will define between venues with gardens or beaches and hotels with great ballrooms.

3. How much money are you willing to spend? This is really the most easy question of them all, this will tell you exactly if you prefer package deals with all inclusive resorts or if you really want a more exclusive and private venue where you can choose your vendors and can work on a Budget that will exactly fit your interests and you can work together until they fit your pocket too.

When thinking on destination weddings, it´s a fact that on your mind you already have picked your TOP 3 destinations, this Burning questions will really help you choose the right venue or location to make the best out of every minute, cent and patience invested in the greatest treasure hunt of your lives.
