Hey there!

 

Welcome to the site....I am a newbie as well. Actually, I will be getting married about a month before you in Akumal. We'll have to compare notes....LOL.

 

Talk to you soon!

Welcome! I am getting married on 6/26 of this year.

Welcome to the forum!

Wow, how cool - I agree we have to compare notes! Where in Akumal exactly, if you don't mind me asking?

Welcome Marie. Happy planning!

Welcome to the forum!

The ceremony will be by the cannons and then the reception will be at Lol-Ha. This seems to be the standard for weddings in Akumal.

Who are you using as a wedding coordinator?

Well, while I'm still open to other options in Akumal "just in case" , I've been in constant communication with Jen of Turtle Bay Restaurant who I think we're gonna stick with because everything seems to fit what we're looking for! She's not only the wedding coordinator, she also is in charge of the food and wedding cake! Through her, we've planned on having the beach ceremony, I believe in the same area of the cannons, and then renting the CEA Center, which is nearby and overlooking the beach for our reception, dance area, etc! We're planning on having Turtle Bay Cafe cater a buffet dinner and provide the cake as well - I've got about 110 people coming so we're trying to make it as affordable but wonderful as possible for our big crowd! Plus, they're letting us bring our own alchohol in and then hiring bartenders to serve drinks which will make it much more cost effective for an "open bar", which can be so expensive otherwise!!!

We also checked out Lol-Ha and their food sounds excellent - I've also read good things about them too! Def keep in touch and let me know how things are going =)

I'll pray for good weather for us both!!!!
