Barcelo Maya Palace Brides

It takes a while for the WC to respond. It took me 3 weeks to get my first response but then averages about 3-4 days after that.

I have a question, I hope someone has an answer for me!

My fiance and I have reserved our wedding date the Barcelo and I was just wondering if we decide to have a symbolic wedding (not legal) can we still have a "Under the Stars" package or do we have to use the "Renewal of Vows" package? The Under the Stars package has way more to it and I don't want to have to add all these things to the Renewal of Vows package for a ton of extra money!

If anyone knows it would be a great help for me. Thanks!

Hi Everyone! I just read that someone got confirmation from the WC at Barcelo that they no longer allow outside photographers and have changed their policy to this recently. Is anyone else aware of this or have information about it?

When we contacted Claudia she said that outside vendors including photographers are allowed...however, I'm fairly certain their stay needs to be booked at Barcelo...hope this helps!

I wonder what they would say if we wanted to bring our friend, who's not technically a photographer yet, and he's staying at the resort the whole time we are..

Thanks, Ladies. Is anyone or have any past brides done a welcome dinner at the Barcelo? Do you know if you have to book that in advance and the locations that are available to have a welcome dinner at?

Hi! I am so excited to finally have the date down. We are getting married in July'09 and I love the idea of a fairly easy wedding! After looking at this for the past few hours I am now realizing there are many decisions and research to do. I am not sure if I should bring centerpeices, torches, name cards, candles, and maracas( I thought that was a cute idea for the plates). Does anyone who has had the wedding there or attended a wedding there have recommendations? Thanks!
