Lori -
Congrats on your wedding! I am also getting married at Secrets Maroma Beach in May. I have heard such great things about the beach there and my TA has visited the property many times and has many great things to say about it...especially the beach. Like Beach2009 I have had a good experience working with Cecilia at SMB. I will not be using the photographer that the hotel offers but using an outside vendor, Sascha Gluck, with the help of this forum we found him and we are very excited as we didnt hear such great reviews about the one the hotel contracts with.
Good luck and after my wedding date if you have any questions or want any feedback let me know.
