I sent them a request for a quote so I'll see what they say. Pictures are SUPER important to me too and theirs are beautiful! Here is a link for photos and video from the Moon Palace Photographers Weddings

After really thinking about it, we decided to only do a small upgrade of $220 that gave us more photos (500) and a 64 page album with larger prints. David did a fantastic job of our wedding photos and photos after the wedding. BUT I am still regretting not having a destination photagrapher team come with us and take pictures of our couple days events and all day the wedding day. I have seen several other brides that brought in their photographers for two or three days of events (usually and man and woman team that spends the entire wedding day with you and DH and attends your other events before and after the wedding) and they truly have photos to share with ones that didn't come. I have some great photos from friends but there are still those special ones that I didn't think to take nor did anyone else take. A professional would of probably captured those things. Again, I was VERY satisfied with David....... Also we got a DVD of the entire wedding and photo shoot afterwards. We love sharing that with everyone that couldn't make it. Tina: I totally understand if you dont want to but is there any way that you can put up the video so we can see it? Fabi :-)

We live in Austin, Texas where we had almost two months of over 100 degree days with humidity and no breeze. It was a nice break for us in July. We got there 6 days before the wedding and checked out the site every afternoon starting at five. We were planning to have both the cocktail hour and the reception/dance outside starting at 5. We felt the coctail hour would of been a little hot but by 6 it really started getting more pleasant. I hope this helps. TINA: I love your OOT bags! You are awesome!!! I have read and re-read your threads and I wanted to see if there was any last minute advise you could give me? About Favors? About Champagne Flutes? About Cake Cutting tools? About anything and everything? I am beginning to panic! :-) I still have not got my shoes, nor jewelry, nor headpiece. I feel like I am forgetting a lot of things.

Does anyone have a video of the Mexican Trio? Are they good? I would like to have them for my cocktail hour but I am not sure if they are worth it.

FOR THE CATHOLIC CEREMONY: Did you bring your own cushions to kneel down CAKE-CUTTING: Did you bring your own knife and spatula or did Moon Palace provide this? CENTER PIECES: Did anyone get any centerpieces? How much do they cost? Are they in Glass Vases? Did anyone use LED's under their Glass Vases for extra glamour or is this just tacky EXPO-CENTER: Has anyone had their dinner and dance at the ExpoCenter? I only got one tiny little picture from them and I would like to get your feedback as to if it is cute or not. My party will be small (28-40) people. FAVORS: What favors did you all have? I am thinking about cookies as well as luggage tags and maybe a wine set (cork screw opener and a top). SUNSCREEN: What kind of sunscreen do you recommend? I heard that you need biodegradable to swim with the dolphins, is this true? Where do you get them? What about sunscreen for your hair? I get married next month and I am beginning to PANIC.

Tina You went all out! I love your OOT bags!!! You have definitely inspired me and I will study all of your notes to see what I can put together for mine :-) Fabi

Casey I love your pics!! It looks so nice and well organized. Fabi

I absolutely think they are adorable and fun!!

What exactly is a catamaran? Fabi

Camie Do we really have to be there 3 days before the BIG DAY if we are also getting married in the US before arriving to Mexico? Do you think 2 days before the wedding is enough time for last minute changes? PS Thanks for all of your help, I appreciate it so much Sincerely Fabi Cortez

Camie Oh my gosh!!! I just saw your slideshow and your wedding was AMAZING!!! I am so happy for you!! Thanks for the information regarding the father of the church. I am currently in contact with him and will definitely get legally married here in Houston about a month and a half before the wedding Is David Pena through the Moon Palace Photography package or someone else? Your pictures are beautiful!!!! Can you give me some recommendations as to the pros and cons of a destination wedding? Our wedding is in November and am not sure if I should try to make wedding program fans PS CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Sincerely, Fabi Cortez

They are so pretty! I wish i was already done with mine

We went through all of the classes that were required and then the Deacon tracked down the Priest in Mexico to confirm that it was legit - it took him a couple of days but he succeeded and then gave the OK for us to get married there. The Deacon required us to send all of the Catholic documents to a different address than what MP provided us. We did this and it took several months to track down that they actually received the documents. I'd recommend sending copies of your documents and then bring the originals with you when you go to MP just in case. Also if I had to do things over again, I would have sent a copy to the MP address as well. Oh and one more thing the Miami office also requests that you send them a copy of your documents too. We decided to get legally married in Dallas versus having the civil ceremony prior to the catholic ceremony. It was cheaper this way and seemed easier for some reason. If you decide to do this I would recommend getting married at least a month prior to your departure date. It took about 2.5 weeks for us to get the marriage certificate (just received it yesterday) and now I need to track down someone at the government offices to get copies (MP requires a copy) - not sure how long that will take. MP recently had a change with Catholic ceremonies - the new Father is Father Benedict and his email is [email protected] (baguilar at palaceresorts dot com). The official name on his email account is: Padre Benito Aguilar Mendivil Camie Camie Thank you so much for the information, I really appreciate it so much and will get in contact with the priest right away Fabi

Mandy I say shop around for the best prices and they will send you different packages with pictures and honestly you should go with the one that fits you budget as well as your tast because if you are happy then all of the people who really really really care about you will also be happy. Follow your gut instinct and have fun with it. Fabi

I would highly recommend you get real hair extensions and not synthethic hair extensions because they tend to be way too shiny and become obvious that they are fake. I put in some extensions on a really good friend of mine and she had shoulder length hair so I used a bag of long hair and half a bag of medium hair so it would give the illusion of having long layers and she looked fabulous. I glued hers in with some really tacky glue they sell at the beauty supply store which is Anan's Beauty Supply. they even sell a product that you can put in when you are ready to take them off so your hair won't get damaged. My friend looked so beautiful! And to be honest I think we only spent $75 for the 1 1/2 bag of hair, glue, and glue remover and it lasted her for a little over a week. She even had her long hair for most of her honeymoon in hawaii. I highly recommend them as they are not hard to put in at all.

Congratulations on your engagement!!!

Any suggestions for a thanksgiving wedding in the moon palace? Weather, fun facts, what to do, what not to do, brochures, best travel agents to and from, best destination wedding dresses, hair dresser, restaurants to try, etc...

Can you please forward me an email with the templates beacuse i dont have enough points to download them from here? email [email protected] Thanks Fabi

I absolutely love your invitations!!! There is so much detail! Fabi

Our colors are blue and orange so we're also using bright orange envelopes and our logo sticker for mailing. I'll post actual pics once everything is cut and assembled (that is still a work in progress) but these are our finalized templates that everything was printed from. 180 of them. Ugh. The detailed cutting is taking f-o-r-e-v-e-r... Tami I still dont have my boarding pass invitations finished and wanted to see what I should include in mine. Also, do you have a wedding website? Through who? Fabi

Also how many points do I need to have in order to be able to download templates?
