Those pics give a good idea of how a wedding looks. And its reassuring to hear that you have heard from previous brides from the OGX...Im anxious to know so many details...and I am in the early stages so I guess patience is the only thing I have to keep in mind. Its also so hard when I have so many guests that think we are crazy for doing this...

Glenda, Thanks for the info. Im form Long Island

Hello, Im Shannon from NY, I am new to the forum. I am planning a wedding for July 2008. I am looking in the cancun area...I need an affordable resort for my guests, yet one that will be absolutelty perfect for me...any suggestions. I have been researching, came up with the Occidental Xcaret....I want a beach wedding and beach reception of about 75 people....What about the Grand Palladium in the Riviera? These are the areas I am looking at. I love the moon palace, but its a bit to pricey for my guets....man this is difficult, any advice would be great!

Hello, how much is the Grand Palladium in the Riviera compared to the occidentals?...i have never heard of that hotel

Yes, this helps alot!! I am looking for July of 2008, and I know that is far in advance, but I still feel that I should be getting questions answered. And to be honest I dont even know what types of good questions to be asking. This idea is all so new to me and I dont even have anyone that I know who have had a destination wedding. Are you dealing with a travel agent or destination wedding specialist for the wedding travels? I am not even sure I am able to make a site visit, thats what scares me the most. Do you know if the OGX accomodates beach receptions as well as ceremonies. Also, how many people? We are expecting close to 75. This hotel fits into our guests budget and it looks great, im just apprehensive due to the lack of response. Its hard just to go by what other people think, but I guess this is one of the things we have to deal with planning a wedding all the way in Mexico!! Thanks again this helps alot, I dont feel alone!

I would also love to see this pics. I am also having a tough time deciding. And i agree, the hotel is exactly what i am looking for, but I cant get a good idea of what a wedding will look like. i am also having a hard time hearing back. I am planning a wedding for the summer of 2008, so I guess I am not top priority, but I still feel i should be regardless. ugg E mail: [email protected]. Thanks

I am looking at the Occidental xcaret as well. Does anyone have any stories or good advice to give? thanks

When I first came on to this site I was set on a Cabo wedding but recently have made my mind up on the Riviera. The one thing I have really learned from the Cabo brides though is that they are eachothers best source of information. If all of us Cancun/PDC/Riviera brides start posting the little bits of info we find I think we will be in good shape. Baconnic - I'll keep my eye out for resorts that sound like they would fit your wedding needs. are you thinking All Inclusive or not? Weez - Both the Royal and the El Dorado seem like really nice spots to have a wedding and there is a ton of information about them floating around on the internet. I think there is a couple posts about these two resorts on this forum allready. If I come across any info on them I'll be sure to post it. Valerie - I am so excited that you are having a weeding at an Occidental Resort. I am very interested to see how well the Occidental resorts handle their weddings. hello, i am also looking at this place...what have you heard about their weddings and service? i am having a hard time hearing back from them...thanks

Hello. I am looking for as much info as possible about a cancun wedding. I have been researching for about a month. Has anyone heard anything about the Occidental hotels in cancun? I am having a hard time hearing back and its frustarting, I was wondering if anyone can give me good advice. thanks!
