Thanks Rosie!
I dropped a line Marlyn Toben (sales coordinator out of Miami/my contact person at this point) for her input and to request a revision to our contract. 4:30 would probably be an ideal time, but I don't think they do that. If I get any new information worth sharing, I will definately post!

Hi...I haven't posted here before but I'm getting married at MP on Jan. 21, 2009 (just reserved the date today). My FI and I are going to be the only ones attending. For those of you who already married at MP, who took care of the music during the ceremony if you chose to use a CD? Obviously, my FI and I will be busy yet I still want my music playing at the appropriate times.

TIA!!!

Also, I'm thinking about a beach wedding (my FI isn't 100% sold on the gazebo) and was wondering about the cost of a simple setup...anyone check on it?

My FH and I have decided on MP afterall. We just haven't decided when. I am debating between December and May as I have to pick a time when school will not be in session. Does anyone have any feedback on MP around the Christmas holiday? I have only seen one review from that time frame. Anyone else have any feedback on the resort at that time of year? Thanks all!

The cost for the beach set up varies depending on what you want. For just the arch it is about $350 in 2009 and if you want all the flowers too it goes up to about $850. I think this has caused people to not do the beach set up since its a little pricy. I have some photos and info that the WC sent me if you would like to see them. Send me a PM and I will forward it to you.

Hey! Welcome to the board! I just wanted to say hi and let you know I will be getting married at MP on May 11th. What day are you arriving? If you are there by then you are more than welcome to attend our wedding to get an idea of what you should expect.

Also, I heard your guests were booking through RCI...we have booked 11 rooms through RCI so if you have any problems with it, let me know. I have some good contacts at the resort that work with RCI bookings.

Hi Jennifer,

We'll be arriving on May 10th. What time is your wedding at? Perhaps I'll swing by and watch from the distance as I wouldn't want to intrude. Do you know what your plans are for your reception? I'm going to try to book the Ballroom Carey as I plan to hire a DJ (sound, lights and all) and I don't want to be restricted with the 10:00 curfew imposed on the outdoor terraces.

Have your RCI guests book their flights as yet? My family is hoping that a seat sale comes up between now and May. Right now its about $950 for a flight from Calgary to Cancun.

shires,
we are doing the beach wedding. if you just want the table ( you have to have for the paper work)and chairs and running to walk on, there is no set up fee.

mrsallentobe,
I was told by my TA that spring break is any time from march to april. and not to book during those months. hope that helps!

Hi ladies,
I have been MIA for awhile because my computer has been acting weird and wouldn't let me access the forum... also work has been crazy. (Hello, I'm getting married in 8 weeks, could we lay off the new projects, please?)

I am freaking out a little and have a couple of questions.

1) We decided on a plated dinner, and I just found out from Claudia yesterday that we can't have multiple choices. We need to pick one soup, salad and entree. I don't know what to pick!! If you had a plated dinner, please tell me what you chose! I want to pick something that most people will enjoy.

2) We are just doing the Catholic ceremony, so we have to get married in the U.S. first. If anyone else has done this, did you just go to the courthouse or something?

Thanks!! Everyone's pics and reviews from while I was gone are AMAZING!!

mrsallentobe · 09-07-2008, 07:22 AM

Thanks for the input! I think we are leaning towards the holidays. I am just worried about the extra expense and whether or not people will be able to make it during that time of year. We just don't want to be selfish.
