Depends on your state. I didn't change my name so we didn't have to do anything with the license. If you are changing your name - might want to check with the Social Security bureau on what you need to do.

Thanks for the support. I did print out the law and will tackle this tomorrow. Maybe I don't have to register it as legal in my state since it recognized as legal around the world?

So did anyone have to get married by the Justice of the Peace in the state they reside in? Our County Clerk will not accept our Mexico marriage license even though under Arizona State Law (ARS 25-112) any marriage conducted in another state or country is a valid marriage under state law. Any suggestions? Our wedding coordinator said they should accept it.

hi - well - Jenny and Baja Weddings did a great job - wedding was incredibly beautiful and went off without a hitch thanks to Jenny.

hi - Jenny from Baja Weddings did my wedding and it was perfect..I negotated the price down a little since my guest list dropped but it was worth every penny!

hi all - just got back from my wedding and honeymoon...just wanted to say that Susanne and her team do fabulous work!! I did a trial a few days before and had one of her assistants do my hair and makeup and it was fabulous..

just wanted to update you that Baja Weddings did come back and lower the overall fee to about $2500 so we are all set!

Thanks Cheesediva. I did quote those two rates I saw in the thread: 30 people = $1500 and 75 people = $3800 Just doesn't compute to my why 40 people = $3500 but I will wait to hear what the owner says. FWIW - my WC has been great - not complaining about the service -think they have been very thorough - just questioning what appears to me a pricing discrepancy.

No - no contract at all..I had an estimate from one of the Baja Wedding Coordinators that has since left. Her original estimate was based on 100 - 120 people. Our guest list since then has gone down considerably (more then half) but the fee didn't go down that much.

Congrats - I'm getting married there in 2 weeks - I'll check back in and let you know how it goes!

We have 2 weeks until the wedding so this is their final bill..I'm going to ask for a cost breakdown because this is just their coordination fee - we pay the vendors as well..

I've been working with Baja Weddings to help coordinate my wedding and although the services have been great - the final coordination fee is not. They want to charge me $3500 for a 40 person wedding at the Sheraton. (This is the only even that they are working on). It was more expensive but the owner brought the price down alittle. What has your experience been with wedding coordinators? When I first talked to them a year ago it was no more then $5500 for a 120 person wedding + rehearsal dinner. We aren't doing the rehearsal dinner - they just helped coordinate the vendors and will do day of services. I think this is outrageous - your thoughts?

I'm using BBJ Linens since one of their showroom is pretty close to my house. Thought about using the resort but BBJ has such beautiful stuff and I really like color so I'm packing an extra suitcase. I have girlfriend who will return them for me the day we leave for our honeymoon. If you go to the BBJ website - I'm using three colors for the tables: Saffron Bichon, Fire Bichon and Paprika Gold. ..The fabrics are gorgeous (and I have less flowers since the linens speak for themselves). Plus I've got the napkins as well..

hi Alyssa - I'm getting married in 4 weeks in Cabo and I'm bringing my linens with me. I didn't like the whites so I picked some fabulous colors.

Oh and the 2 guests who did book through the SPG.com website were PREPAID - which means the Sheraton gets their money regardless. The guests cannot go back and rebook since they paid in advance. I'm trying to get the Sheraton to honor that or we can make up the friggin difference between what the guests ALREADY paid and what our rate is. *Rant off*
