No need to risk the glasses being washed in unfiltered water. -If there's yogurt around, I eat it. I never thought about swallowing ocean water! That's an interesting point. I have been in the ocean quite a bit, though. I am 100% agree with you!!!!! and those are the main rules for not being sick!! I worked as a Food & Beverage Quality Control Manager in a 5 Star hotel (1,300 rooms) affiliate to "Check Safety First" which is an UK safe food company.

Other aspects such as fire safety, water safety, hurricane preparedness, ethical operation, sustainable tourism and others are also inspected.

Hello everyone!! You should not be worried about a thing beacuase your WC supposed to do everything for you!! My mother is a Civil officiate in Acapulco and the requirements are the same but she is much flexible than here in the Riviera Maya or Cabo but I think, this is beacause there are no so many weddings lthere like here or in Cabo. Here is some information that could help you to undestand better: The Civil Ceremony is the only marriage in Mexico which modifies the marital status of a person from single to married, whether under the regimen of division of property or joint ownership of property and it is the only one that is internationally accepted, therefore your Marriage Certificate is legally binding in Mexico. A Mexican Civil Marriage generates an original Legal Marriage Certificate and a Certified Copy. The Original eventually goes to Chetumal, capital of the State of Quintana Roo, where it is permanently filed: The Certified Copy –duly stamped and signed in ink by the Judge—goes to the couple. Your WC should send to you in about 2 months after the wedding date, the "original" wedding certificate with the mexican apostille or seal that is normally done in the back of the certificate. The Marriage Certificate is recognized by 65 States that are Members of the Hague Conference on Private International Law like the United States, Canada, France, England, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Ireland, Belgium, Italy, Denmark, Netherlands, Sweden, Japan and most other countries. One of the requirements is that the couple and their four witnesses be present three working days before the date of the wedding for delivering and signing all of the documents required by the Civil Registry. The Matrimonio Civil is performed by the Registro Civil via their Judges. The wedding is in Spanish and during the Ceremony; a text from Melchor Ocampo, a nineteenth century Mexican poet, is recited, declaring the couple as husband and wife. Sometimes the Civil officiate does not speak english so your WC should provide an English translator who simultaneously interprets the ceremony. All foreign documents (birth certificate, divorce decree, death certificate, etc.) which are to be submitted to Mexican Officials for any legal procedure within the country, must have the legal Spanish translation (to be done in Mexico by the Civil Officiant or Registro Civil) and must be certified by-an APOSTILLE. An apostille is an internationally recognized notary certification, done in the country of origin of the documents, and usually issued by the State Department of each country. In the United States, contact the Secretary of State in the state where you live. In Canada contact your nearest Mexican Embassy Office and ask for the Authentication Document which serves the same purpose as the Apostille document. We suggest that you bring at least one complete set of copies, plus the originals. A Civil Marriage in Mexico constitutes a Legal act that generates public documents of record; if you fail to comply with the requisites the Marriage cannot take place and that is why the Civil officiate request you all to be on site at least 3 full working days prior the wedding day in case some documentation is missing or something is wrong, to have enough time to arrange the problem. It gets just a little bit complicate (because the apostille) when Bride is divorced but if Bride is single that is very, very easy. I hope it helped a little bit! Good Luck! Yazmin.

Actually the letter from the legendary mexican poet Melchor Ocampo that is readen here is not supposed to be readen anymore (because the woman's rights in the original and complete letter are not the same than the men's rights and today it supposed to be equal) but they still mention it. However those words from that ninetenth century poet still being very romantic! Good Luck and have fun in your wedding!! Yazmin. Best Regards,

Hello!! Here it is!! Best Regards, Yazmin Acta.zip

Depending on the Judge: 1. It can be that he or she ask you both if you promess to respect each other, etc. etc. or 2. It could be that instead of asking, you will be doing the promess to each other. Just give a a couple of minutes and i will attach the document to give you an idea...

Hello!! Yes, I have a copy. I will attached later for you. Best Regards! Yazmin. Yazmin De La Mora - Weddings & Catering

I haven't signed the contract yet, but Tammy's been working hard on it, and I really don't want to have to go through choosing a location again! Having worked there, would you recommend it? Do you think I will get most things I want through them, so only need to worry about the photographer and the welcome dinner? Margaret. I love Barcelo because they have one of the most beautiful beaches in the area but they have so many weddings per day that the service could be not really personal. I suggest to book the first or the last wedding of the day and emphasis on quality and service of all their supliers. Regards, Yazmin

Thank you for responding, Lizzy Dear Lizzy, Here in Playa there is a party rental place but but they do not have internet and I do not think they will have chandeliers. There is another one but in Cancun, is the biggest one and most important in party rentals and you can see maybe a similar chandelier (used with flowers) BANQUETES MARGARITA The e.mail is BANQUETES MARGARITA You can ask your wc to help you to rent that or just try and e.mail them directly. Regards, Yazmin.

But I'm also trying to decide if I am just willing to deal with that, rather than go through the whole search again. Why you dont try and let them know that there is a big possibility to cancel the whole thing if they do not let you bring your own suppliers. It happened so many times to me when I used to work for hotels. So just try and let's see how they react. I know that they have their own musicians from Dominican Rep. & Mexico and maybe have contracts already with them so it could be a possibility why they do not allowed. But you can always try and ask. Tell me the name of the person who is in charge of your wedding, maybe I can find out and try to help you a lillte bit. Regards, Yazmin.

Hello! Yes, it is true. Normally it is not allowed and if you can get a professional to do it is extremly expensive compared with other mexican cities. I am searching one for a september wedding. If i find a good and cheap one will let you know!! Best Regards, Yazmin.

Hello Margaret. Why you just let them know that if they are not flexible you will change the whole location? Let's see what they do.... Yazmin.

Hello, I am a WC in RM and it is a bit complicate to do all the paperwork and much more expensive to do the civil here in Mexico than in your country. I suggest that if it's possible for you to do it before in your country, it will be much easy & better! I know Maye Cortinas since long time ago because we are both from Acapulco (I was living in Cabo for 5 years until 2000) and have not talk to her since then. I did not know she was in the wedding business until I found her in this site!! I am happy to know that she is great and that everybody is happy with her job!!! Please say hello to her from me!!! Best Regards and congratulations!! Yazmin.

Welcome!! If you ever need info from RM just let me know!! Regards,

Welcome!! If you ever need information form the RM. Let me know!! Regards,

Welcome!! Regards,
