Future Ms.Moulton - thanks for the info! That's interesting, it's weird it seems like everyone is being told something different? That's crazy they won't honor your contract? So what are they telling you was the point of signing a group contract?

Hi NJ Hunnie - so cool! And you are from NJ too! We'll have to all make sure to meet up at some point. We are staying Monday to Monday.. How about you guys??

Thanks Indy Chic. That definitely helps, thanks! This whole group contract needs to be better explained to people when booking! I like you, was not told about anything. Only that to get the free incentives you needed to have the group contract. So I said sure. I think like MoonPalaceBride said the MP will more than likely accomodate us no matter what to keep us happy it's just frustrating because there's a lot of money involved. Thanks so much for the information, I am starting to calm down a little now

Thank you so much this is so great!

Hi Moon Palace Bride! That's great, I believe my ceremony is at 5 p.m. at the Tucan Gazebo. How about yours? My WC is Claudia Martinez. Thanks for the info. I did respond to Claudia - how do incentives like the cocktail hour, etc. come in to play if Moon Palace has nothing to do with the contract? I have a feeling you are right, I think when it comes down to it MP will accomodate us I just do not want to have to get stuck paying for rooms not booked. Right now we have 14 rooms booked, but should have 16 with the other 2 rooms I was talking about they will not honor.. I believe I have the other couple possible bookings as well so I guess I will wait and see. I will definitely be firm with MP it's still 20 rooms booking for my wedding giving them business you know? So excited we'll have to chat more about plans, etc. I feel like I still have so much to do!

Hi everyone. I am getting married on April 23, 2010 and was wondering if anyone else was getting the run around regarding your "group contract". Initially I was under the impression that the contract was with the resort considering that their web site states that the free cocktail hour, reception, etc. was only valid with a group contract. Well I was wrong. My travel agent is now telling me that the only rooms that count towards my group contract are one's that booked with my travel agent Liberty Travel at their specific office. Not other locations in other cities? For example, a friend of mine didn't think anything and I was never told so she went to a Liberty Travel near her house and booked. My TA is telling me those 2 rooms do not count towards my 20 room contract. It's BS. Than to make matters worse I figured ok well I will go right to the source, I emailed my WC and asked her about it, if they would honor any rooms booked towards my contract considering a room is a room, and money is money and her response was that I have to talk to my TA, she handles my travel accomodations... Like as if MP has nothing to do with the group contracts?? Help!!!

Thanks, so helpful!!

thanks so much great list!!! so helpful!

thanks so much great checklist... wow lots to do!!

Thanks for sharing very helpful!

Hi everyone! Does anyone have a planning document or checklist that they have used in planning their wedding? I feel a bit overwhelmed and feel like I may forget something huge, and I am definitely a list kind of person! Thanks so much!

Nibsmom, thanks so much for the post! Love the brochure idea! Your trip is so soon you must be super excited, can't wait to see pics.

So pretty love them!!

Doblauvelt - hi - when we sent in the wedding reservation request, Claudia the WC emailed me introducing herself and letting me know she was my contact should I have any questions. Also in the email was our contract # and contract we had to sign and fax back to her with credit card information for the package we were purchasing (which was the Amber Collection). On that form was where I chose the Amber color, the Tucan Gazebo, 5 p.m. for the wedding time, etc. I assume you sent in the wedding reservation form? Maybe they are busy and overwhelmed with recent weddings an email couldn't hurt?

Congrats! Thanks so much for the helpful hints!!!
