Beautiful pictures!!!! Congratulations. I love your comfy shoes, where did you get them?

Stephanie and her assitant Lluvia are really good at responding back. I would just give them another day or two and call back. I never had a problem getting in touch with them. I would call them on the telephone directly since your wedding is so close.

It helps to see actual photos. I have been so nervous planning a wedding from such a far distance. I love their work. I might consider using them as well.

Hi , I am having my wedding at Mr Sanchos Beach Club in Cozumel. I am arriving vis Royal Carribean Cruise ship. Anyone doing the same? Or has anyone had their wedding at Mr Sanchos??

Yes, utbride2010, That's a great idea to call it the "wedding garden"- FABULOUS! I want to go down to do a site visit, but in the last couple of months I have been to Jamaica, Riviera Maya and Punta Cana looking for the perfect wedding location- So I'm all tapped out. I will wait until you get back for feedback- Thanks Gina

Hi Tiffany, my name is Gina. I am debating whether or not to get married at Mr Sanchos. LOL You are right the name sounds funny. Stephanie, the Coordinator has sent me many photos via e-mail. Have you been in person? I am getting married April 7, 2010. We are all coming over on a Cruise.

What is the deal with Belize I cant find anything regarding a nice Beach location for a wedding there. That's not a good sign. We are traveling on Royal Carribean April 5-10 to Cozumel and Belize. But I cant find any credible info about shoreline weddings there. I might have to change my plans to Cozumel. We are having a symbolic ceremony and just found out that Royal Carribean DOES NOT do symbolic shoreline weddings. I should have checked this out before i sent out my save the dates and made deposits with Royal Carribean. HELP!!! Who knows a really nice place in Cozumel? And who can I contact offshore- THANKS

Hi guys. This is my first time on the "Cruise Wedding" portion of the forum. I'll make my story short. I am a basket- case. I have been engaged since Feb 2009. Since that time I have done site visits at resorts in Jamaica,Mexico and Punta Cana. Surprisely, I never considered a cruise wedding before considering that my fiance and I have cruised several times over the years. Strangely enough as much as I've cruised in the past I am lost with planning a cruise WEDDING. I noticed that a few of you went thru WC on the island. I didnt think to do that- sounds like the right thing to do. How did you go about arranging that without going through the ship's WC?

Thanks guys- love you all- I feel as if we are a family!!!! Thanks

I just got back from Punta Cana last night and could not wait to get to the computer and tell you guys what happened during my site visits. First of all we decided to go down for the weekend because we recently changed our wedding plans from Mexico to Punta Cana. We are both police officers and are on a strict budget. I highly recommend if at all possible,to splurge- go visit the place that you plan to marry its important !!! The place that you are asking all of your friends and family to attend. I e-mailed the WC's in advance and set appointments. I read really good things about the Bahia Principle, Ocean Sand, Riu Palace, Majestic and Iberostar so those are the resorts I set out to visit. The only way to visit is by taxi, even though the resorts are relatively near each other. A taxi ride cost me anywhere between 10 -20 dollars each way. That wasnt the problem, trip advisor did mention how expensive it was to taxi so I expected that. I arrived at the Bahia Principle on time and the security was extremely rude because we were not wearing the Bahia bracelet. The language barrier was such a problem that he had no idea what I was talking about. I wrote the WC's name on paper and he had no idea who she was. The guards made us get out of the taxi and wait outside in the heat for about 30 minutes while they made calls to whoever. They were talking among each other and we couldnt understand what they were saying .We were very much intimidated. We got back into the taxi and drove away. My next appointment was at the Majestic. You would not believe we had the same problem!!!! at this point the taxi driver could tell we were frustrated and he intervined. When we finally got on the property the WC who I had made the appointment with, said that my appointment was on Monday. I told her it was not because I was leaving Mon morning. She was SOOO rude and nasty I could not believe it!!! I told her I got on a plane from Chicago to visit the resort and to decide if I was going to have my wedding there and you are refusing to assist me? She said that she was busy and wouldnt be able to accomodate until the following day. We walked out. On a good note, we had no problems at Iberostar, Rui Palace and we stayed at Ocean Blue so no trouble there. So after a long and taxing journey (no pun intended) we have decided on the RIU Palace Punta Cana.

Thanks Danielle, Yeah I guess everything is under that name Amhsamarina- even the web site. I am doing a site visit there along with other places June 5 2009. I wonder why - no brides? Well I shall soon find out- LOL- Thanks again

Thank God I'm only trying to schedule a site inspection. But I did get an e-mail from Melani (Dreams WC) last night and scheduled for June 5 2009.

Hi I am kinda new to the forum. Still getting the hang of how it works. I am planning a site visit to Punta Cana next month. I cant find one thing on Grand Paradise Bavaro. What am I doing wrong? Need name and e-mail of WC. Thanks
