Hey Hali, I'll be there for your wedding. Plus my family is all from MN, it's where I grew up. Maybe we will run into each other. What package are you doing?

Hi there. I am so glad I've found this thread. We are getting married on April 27th at the Barcelo Maya Palace. We just sent out our save the dates last week and already have 15 people booked. Can't wait! Couple questions if anyone has the answers or advice that would be GREAT! -Dress and Suit steaming, I assume they offer it, did anyone have any issues? -Cocktail Hour, we are doing the Ocean Scents package but are also looking at a cocktail hour, I've got the wedding packages but don't have info on this. Any ideas on how much this will cost us. - Photography, my wedding coordinator Claudia e-mailed me last week with the info that they have new photographers now. She sent me a contact sheet with examples. I was impressed compared to what I was expecting, has anyone used them yet. I am trying to decide if we want to bring someone with us or not! - Dance floor - If you have had your reception on the beach, did you rent the dance floor? I like the idea of sand in the toes, but not sure if that will work with dancing. I appreciate any advice or thoughts!

I've stayed at the moon palace twice for destination weddings and that is really close to what we paid to be a guest. We choose to do the Barcelo Maya because our guests could pick from three price points for the wedding and it was important to us that those who wanted to come could afford it. I believe our lowest priced option is around $1000 for four days and the highest is at about $1800 for 7 days at the Palace. I loved the Moon Palace though and they do such a great job with weddings. Good Luck!

Congrats and good luck on the ring shopping!
