Thank you soooooooo much for such a detailed review!! We're getting married at MP in August but are staying at Cancun Palace.

I do have a question if you don't mind....
We wanted to be married on the beach. Opted for the gazebo because the bamboo arch was $850 to rent. Did you use a different arch and how much was the rental? I LOVE that you had the wedding on the terrace. What a perfect idea!!!

Thanks again for the help. I like how each guest added a shell to the vase for the sand ceremony. We're having each of our children pour some sand in with us.

Thanks so much for such a detailed review. I am getting married at the Moon Palace in August and it is so reassuring knowing everything that you stated. You touched on a lot of subjects where I had previously read negativity about and really made me understand and feel more confident in my choice. This was so informative and I really thank you for EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!

The translation of the apostille birth certificates was required, and the translation of the marriage certificate to English was a requested add on. The translations were required to be done through the on-site certified translators at Moon Palace.

When I asked about the terrace, Lily/WC mentioned they could do the set up that they do for the beach weddings. She sent me this picture w/ the estimate of $770. I asked about a less expensive option, and she gave an estimate of $550 which would not include the extra flowers along the aisle. At our on-site meeting, she made a call to the vendor to get the actual cost. I was charged $380 for the bamboo, blue & green ribbon, white table cloth (didnt come in blue/green as the pink/orange in the picture), and flowers just on the bamboo posts. This included set up & breakdown as well.

Did she say exactly what was $850?
