I am interested in going to the one in DC next Friday as well. Does anyone know if they are samples?

Great job!!

I think number 1 shows off your curves and is very beautiful! Good luck choosing!

Thanks for the fabulous reviews!!!

Great pictures!!! Looks like you had a great time and you were a beautiful bride! )

Heartbeat, That's the dress that I have been waiting for my DB to get in! I can't wait to try it on! Congrats on finding "the one!"

- Consider whether it's really that important to have a private reception. I've been to two DWs now where the reception dinner was in a semi-private area of one of the a la cartes, and one was not private (they just set us up in the a la carte). I thought it was great - you are still sharing your reception with your guests, and if other random people from the resort stop and say congrats, then great! It's not for everyone but I think that's the way I will go to save $$ on the whole private dinner thing. The reception dance/party was on the beach and was not private either - and it was lots of fun! Alundy, So, when there was a dinner only reception, there were dancing options? That would be awesome.

acallihan, I am using DW as well. ) Glad to see your comment about the pricing. If you wouldn't mind sharing what you've come up with so far, that would be so amazing. I want to make up my indecisive mind, so I can book and start focusing on the fun stuff! Thanks so much, Tisha

I'm looking at this resort for late April/Early May 2011 ~ SOOO excited!!

Awe, great story!! Adorable puppy and gorgeous ring. You're a lucky girl! )

Hi ladies, I have just landed my sites on Moon Palace for a late April/early May wedding date. I am still trying to plan out everything before I book, but I'm very excited about this location. Have any of the already married girls gotten married on the beach? Most reviews I see were in the gazebo. Also, what are the different names, Nizuc I think I saw? I'm assuming different sections of the resort? Well, I am looking forward to learning a lot from you girls!!! ) TTYS Tisha

Beautiful wedding pics! Were the costs at this resort reasonable? I am searching for a resort and it is becoming a bit of a headache Tisha

Oh, a few more questions! I'm full of 'em. ) The banquet kit listing I have doesn't say the cost for additional chairs for the ceremony. Does anyone know the cost? Also, does anyone know the cost for the sound system alone? Lighting costs? Thanks ladies! Oh, and my name is Tisha ~ Looking into AS for a late April/early May '11 wedding!! looking forward to getting to know all of you!

Hi ladies, For those of you who did the included dinner, did you get to do any dancing? Having the mother/son and father/daughter dance are important to me, and that's about it as far as the typical reception goes. I do want to wear my dress as long as possible though. What did everyone do after their dinner? Is there a club to go to? I guess you would change? Thanks girls! Looking forward to becoming an official AS bride! Tisha )

Here is a pic for you to see, it's not totally dark yet, but you can still get an idea of the set up: Katken, Thanks for posting this picture. It looks exactly like what I am interested in doing. Do you have more pics you could share? Also, how did the private reception work? Did you pick a menu and pay the per person, and then pay for lighting, dj, etc. What extra fees were there? Was it pricey? I am trying to determine overall pricing (at least a guestimate) before I book, but I'm getting worried if I don't hurry, my date will be gone. Guess I better make some decisions! )

Wow, fabulous pictures! Congratulations!!

Gorgeous! Love the pink accent diamonds!

Question, has anyone seen a review of a beach wedding at the Riu Palace? All I see, everyone has married at the gazebo. I'm also looking into a boat reception instead of doing it at the resort. So, if anyone has any information on that, that would be fabulous. And, one last thing, anyone have a price list for add-ons at the Riu Palace? Thanks so much!! And I really need to learn how to work this site! )

Good Morning girls!! I am a newbie and am quite stressed over picking a resort. My TA had recommended Azul Sensatori which is beautiful but I believe is pricey. So, I started looking at the Riu Palace. I believe it's a little less expensive and it's closer to Playa Del Carmen which I like. I am going to start reading the threads but if anyone has any advice, good or bad, I'm ready for it. Thanks girls!! Jannae ~ hope you have a fabulous wedding!! )

Hi girls, Still too new to really understand the posting system on here, but was wondering if anyone would be willing to share with me your costs related with this resort? I read a few posts that have said this resort is pricey My email is [email protected]. Thanks so much!!

Wow, absolutely amazing job with all your planning! Can't wait to see pictures! Can you give any information on your resort choice? I had originally been looking into Mexico but found that in the DR you don't have to be in the country for a certain number of days before the ceremony which is appealing to me. Thanks so much!

What date are you getting married there? How has your communication been so far? Barcelo Maya is my first choice as of now, for an April wedding date.

New bride here! Considering the Barcelo Maya Colonial for an April wedding. From what I've seen so far, it sounds perfect.
