Congrats and welcome to the Forum. You'll hear great things about tons of places. Finding the place is the hardest thing you'll have to do. Good luck!

Congrats and Welcome to the forum! There's lots of helpful information here.

Congrats and Good Luck! This forum is great!

Congrats Christine!!! You'll get bunches of great ideas here!

So I just sent my invitations (which I hope to post this weekend), and people who said they were going to go after i sent my STD's, now don't know if they are going to go. It frustrates me because I told people almost 6 months ago and they still have 5 months to save up. One of my aunt's, after I sent the STD's, told me I should have a bbq wedding instead of having a destination wedding. My jaw just dropped. Needless to say, she's one of the people who said she doesn't know if she's going to go.

We are going to be at the Tuscan Gazebo and have our reception on the Tuscan Terrace (towards the Grand side of resort). YAY! I've never been to Moon Palace before but I've heard so many good things. I've been in contact with a person from the Miami office, no one from the actual resort yet. I actually have the Tuscan Gazebo too!! At 3pm. I wanted the Tuscan Terrace for my cocktail but they told me it was booked. Now I know why So instead, we're doing the Tuscan Venado for cocktails and moving to the Ballroom star for our reception. I wasn't sure how hot it would be and was afraid people would be tired of the sun after the wedding and cocktails. When are you going there? We'll be there Tuesday May 25th. I wanted to make sure there's enough time to get whatever I need to get done with the WP.

Also my invitations went out last week! Once I take a picture of them, I'll upload it!

I'm with Tiffani, does David Pena have a website with the pictures he's taken? He seems to be the only onsite photographer people talk about.

I sent my STD's in September and just sent my invitations this past weekend! Once I take a picture of the STD and invitation I'll post them.

Hi Everyone! I'm getting married in Moon Palace on May 29, 2010. It looks like there's one more person getting married the same time as me!! My wedding is at 3pm.

What a great review. I'm going to request David Pena as our photographer too!

Congratualtions! This website has so much good information. Happy planning!

Nice to see a male on the site...this website has a lot of great resources. Good luck planning! Congrats!

Congrats!! Happy planning!

I know it says Punta Cana but it is the one for Cancun.

I wonder if they have pictures of each of the different decorations available or if everyone getting married now is still on the old packages. I want DETAILS DETAILS DETAILS, lol. It is funny because I am such a planner that micromanages and needs to know NOW and this is the kind of thing you have to be patient and let them contact you when they get a chance...I downloaded the files with the bouquets, ceremony locations, and cakes but that is all old information so now I want the new information, lol! Meanwhile I am still stuck on firming a date and what colors to have, boy oh boy... My WC from Miami Janina sent me the bouquet pictures. If you can't download it just pm me.

I asked for the Tuscan Gazebo. We you confirmed for the chapel? I asked for the Tuscan Gazebo and they said they will request it but can't guarantee it. I think I'm falling a little behind schedule. I'm hoping to have my STD's out by the end of the month.

What a great review! Thanks so much!

I think the sand ceremony is a great way to symbolize your marriage, two people joined as one. I think this is a great alternative to the unity candle.

I had the same question. I chose Cancun because it was less expensive and more to do. I'm actually having my wedding at Moon Palace in Cancun but it's outside of Cacun, so kinda Riveria Maya, kinda Cancun. I think there's a thread about Dreams here. You might want to check that out.

Wow...After a week or so, i'm finally done reading this whole thread. So as of yesterday, I've confirmed my date May 29, 2010 at 3pm!! I'm super excited! Janina is my Miami WC. Does anyone know how long it takes to receive the wedding contract after you confirm the date? Will the wedding contract also contain the group booking contract?

Congrats and welcome to the forum! There is so much information here to help you plan!!

Congrats and welcome to this forum. It gets very addicting!

Congrats Tina! Your review was great. I'm reserving my wedding date tomorrow for my 2010 wedding at Moon Palace. I'm so excited!
