Not sure how I will be able to wait for FEB! Awesome!!! It'll be here before you know it. We had the same prob with the rooms, but try not to stress. It'll all work out one way or another. And I'll check out what's going on with my review and get back to you on here. Quote: Originally Posted by shreets Okay good! I'm not so worried about the food now - it sounds fabulous!

(although a week of drinking and sitting by the pool sounds like a good idea to me!) Yes, full take over is all rooms... if you are questioning it, don't do it. We didn't do a full take over but it felt like it bc there was only 1 other couple, they got married there 3 yrs ago and were celebrating with their little one year old. they were beyond nice and respectful... went out on our wedding day... but by that time I would have invited them! It is $5 cab ride to old town or 0.25 for the bus I think. You can't walk, but transportation is cheap and readily available. I actually liked being on the outskirts... quieter and felt more secluded and safe. Some of our guests went out one night and cabed back.

We had almost decided on another location...but the food at our hotel during our site visit was so bad that once we did a tasting with Adam and Lindsay, we knew we had to go with PF. It was so good and we are food snobs for sure. I just can't imagine having people come so far for our wedding and then having a disappointing dinner. I actually so excited for our wedding week because I know we'll have fantastic food the whole time. Shreets - I believe you do have to book all 30 rooms for a full takeover, but definitely check with Adam. They may or may not have changed the terms since I signed our contract. PF is just a 5 minute cab ride from town. However, my understanding is that there are not restaurants or bars within walking distance. AHHHH! It is almost time! So jealous! Wish I could be a fly on the wall... it is going to be fabulous! Quote: Originally Posted by mlabbe We finally signed our contract and Adam is programming our dates, I'm so excited! Now we just need to book a photographer ASAP! Congrats!!!! Quote: Originally Posted by jdrewett Congrats Magalie!! That's exciting. We are getting close to booking. We were going to wait until our site next month, but you girls have reaffirmed our decision. Jenniebey-Your day is almost here! Can't wait to see pics! Monty Crysto- Welcome and congrats! Mel and Kate- You girls are the best! I'm so happy you are still sticking around to give us great advice. Thanks! You are so lucky to have a site visit... I did everything site unseen. Good thing I have good taste, huh? Bill and I were talking about our fave moments from the wedding and one of his was when we got to PF and the look on my face as we looked over the balcony. Gives me chills, still! I want to go back now!

Hey Mel!!! Yes, and the guac is to die for! And if you want a good light lunch to share try the taco wheel... Bill wants the wheel dish so we can make them at home. Mmmm....

holy moly! There are so many good noms:) Love you all! This will be tough.

Hello, As far as vegetatian goes there are several options... we had the veggie dumplings for an passed app- they were amazing. The wedding night is completely seperate- so the bride and groom pay for dinner/open bar that night. I know people will pay for open bar after dinner until 10 then do a cash bar sometimes. Lindsay will help you with your budget and make suggestions based on her experience... remember they do this every week, they know what works! Remember that Adam and Lindsay are foodies from San Francisco. The food is all amazing I promise! This is above and beyond any destination wedding experience you could have imagined... our guests thought they were at a celebrity wedding and I felt like a celebrity all week. It is quite the experience. Melissa was right that though it isn't cheap, you can very easily be spending the same amount at another mega resort all said and done... our costs were up front, so maybe hard to swallow at first, but there were no suprises so the wedding week was relaxing/not stressful at all.

Everything looks great Erika! You are going to have a fantastic time!

Welcome! Check out the Playa fiesta thread to join us past and future brides!

Welcome! Check out the Punta Cana section on this site... and you can even do a search (there is a search function at the top) for Moon Palace PC. Happy planning.

Do a search in the Cabo forum or under reviews- there is a lot of info from brides who have gotten married there. Good luck.

do what you have to do to get the pics you want. Photography is important so... and if it is important to not see him before, plan your ceremony time accordingly. This is what we did. Either way it works.

You can do whatever you like... you are the bride afterall!

As the others said, you need 150 posts to open attachments. SO welcome new members, ask questions in the Moon Palace/ RM threads and get to know your fellow brides! Happy Planning!

Yay Heather! So happy your pics are beautiful... and you don't even know it yet bc you are still on your honeymoon:) How fun.

Oh Awesome is right! Of coarse I want more....

I'm also glad they took Bianca the tapper. That poor girl has made it to Vegas 3-4 times. It would just seem wrong to cut her again! As I understand it on Monday they are going to do a 'Meet the Cast' type show. Each dancer will do a solo, work in groups, and be introduced to their partner. On Tuesday, a 2-hour epidose, they will perform as partners and 1 couple will be eliminated. Phone in votes will be for the Top 18. Baseball is screwing up the schedule this year so watch for wacky dates! I'm hoping for another great start to the season like there was last year. So much of the dancers' success seems to be tied to who is partnered with whom. It will be interesting for sure. If B-Boy and Soccer player are paired together that could be disasterous! I'm wondering if/when Mia will make the announcement she is leaving? DH was wondering if she was sick because she shaved her head and mentioned last night that she was having a really rough time. I want to know why Mia is leaving too!!! The best friend segment is crazy... Molly is cute but so young! I almost thought she should be cut so she'd have another year to develop. Overall I like her though. The chick with the high pitched crying was getting on my nerves. She is a good dancer so I hope she gets it under control!

We are looking at D&E Package #1, with some add-ons if the budget allows. I hope we can get the basic fireworks package too! We are bringing our photographer and getting real touch flowers. I would love to do some bougainvilla with candles on the tables. Did anyone use existing tables, rather than the banquet tables? I have so many questions, which we are working through to see if we can afford everything. We are getting excited! I can't remember which package I chose but I think it was 1. I used existing tables but added on chilvali chairs and brought my own linens. Mel did a larger candle package and made runners... this idea rocks! It looked amazing. I don't regret anything I did but I will say little decoration is needed:)

Happy wedding day Ms. Heather! Hope it is PERFECT and the weather cooperates. Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back.

You can have your ceremony off site at a church. Contact Lindsay or her assistant for the worksheet like mlabbe suggested. You may be able to do it under budget, but it depends on a lot of different factors. You will love having your wedding at Playa Fiesta!!! It is the best!

Darn it!!!! Actually, I liked her as a judge. Personally, I thought she was honest and thoughtful in her critiques. She may have come accross as harsh... but it made the dancer work harder and be better.

Thanks girls! It was fun to see this thread bumped! Seems so long ago.. I had better start getting these pics developed!
