Welcome to the forum & happy planning!

 

Thank you all for the warm welcome! I am so excited! We are pretty sure we want the wedding to be in Mexico, its just deciding where in Mexico we want to have it! i don't want a resort that is so gigantic (like Iberostar in RM sp?) that our guests have to walk miles or ride a golf cart to get @ it. Also, do you have any recommendations on what time of year is best in Mexico? I hear summer is $$$ due to tourist season & then Aug-Nov is hurricane season..is that correct? You guys are life savers, being apart of this forum takes alot of stress of my shoulders now!

 

Thank you!

welcome laura! nice to meet you!

Welcome Laura! This is the place to be for all kinds of help and great info!

Welcome, Laura! Ok, if you want Mexico, there are lots of good options that are decently close to Colorado --- Cabo, Puerto Vallarta, Las Caletas, and then if you wanna go a little further south theres Ixtapa and Acapulco on the west coast. I'm pretty confident you should be able to get direct flights to all of those from Colorado. If you want east coast Mex, there's fun places like Playa del Carmen, Cancun and the like.

If you're looking for places that aren't huge all-inclusive resorts, Las Caletas is really cool where AnnR got married (based on the photos I've seen from everyone around here, but I'm sure they'll vouch!). There are also smaller resorts, or resorts that arent AI in just about every location that can accomodate both small and large groups.

Rainy season begins mid to late Aug on the west coast. Late Oct and Nov are generally pretty safe -- if it rains, its not an all day affair. Give us some more details about what you are looking for, how many guests etc etc and we will help you come up with some options that match what you're looking for! I can only personally tell you about costs in Cabo, but May-July is pretty pricey -- our group room rate for Aug 9th is HALF the price someone else I know got for their group in May. Kate (LALA) could probably tell you more about the Cabo prices in December, she just got married there.

Welcome Laura!!

 

You'll find lots of great help here!

Welcome. I'm in the same boat as you. I'm not sure on details I just know I want a destination wedding!

 

Happy planning!!!
