I just received the video from our wedding yesterday.  The quality isn't really all that great, but I would totally do it again anyway.  It's so nice to have b/c there are so many things I already forgot about that were on the video.  I was able to use my resort credit for it as well, so basically it was free.  If I was paying for it, I'd probably just get the ceremony and not the extra hours.

Not at all. It was $385 total.  So that was $120 for mine, $55 each for my BM's and $15 each for 3 bags of petals for the runner.

They are from Marvin.  I tried to find a good close up pictures of them.  This was the best I could do from the proofs:

The BM's are daisies and mine are daisies and roses.  Here are the pictures I choose these based on:

Just posted my review girls.  I had my absolute dream wedding.  Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.  http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/products/moon-palace-golf-spa-resort-all-inclusive/reviews/4597
 

Kim, I just posted my review.  I'm not sure what happened b/c I don't see it listed yet.  I spent about two hours on it.  Anyway, I'm so happy for you.  I know you will have a great week and a beautiful wedding.  Congrats in advance.  Enjoy it and I can't wait to see your pictures!

I am super excited for my wedding on Sunday and already thinking about how the week will fly by. I am going to have my cousin take all the random pics so I can write a review to pay it forward and to help future MP brides!

The forecast is kind of bumming me out but what can I do.  I'll try to check in during the week with updates!

Did  you have any luck with this?  I order shot glasses for favors, but like the idea of doing something liek this as well.   BTW, I just looked at your pictures on shutterfly.  They are beautiful.  I loved so many things from your wedding...your flowers, dress, bm dresses, hubby's tie, etc.  Did you do a review by any chance? 

Does anyone know when/how Palace Resorts typically provides a refund for comp room nights earned via the group contract?

Our group is 29 people including us.  We are doing 3 round tables of 9 and a sweetheart table for us.  I just order my place cards tonight.  I wasn't planning on doing them at all, but I have a few people coming by themselves and wanted to make sure they were seated with people they would feel comfortable with.  I also wanted to have the wedding party sit at one table together with their dates. 

We're getting married at dolphin beach at 5pm followed by a cocktail hour and reception at Grand Terrace.  Kalena is our wc and has been awesome!  So sorry to hear you are having problems with reservations.  My experience with the Miami office was not good either.  Good luck!

Hi Catherine.  We will be there at the same time.  I'm getting married on May 13th.  I hope you get all  your problems sorted with your reservations contact.

I'm getting married at the Moon Palace on May12th. I'm having huge problems getting anyone from the Miami office to respond. I was dealing with Pilar Fernedez but shes now gone. I am palace resort member but was wondering if anyone had any contacts at the miami office they could give me who responds to emails.

 

Many thanks

I have been searching for weeks now trying to find linen pants for my brother.  He's a GM in my wedding.  Everyone else has their pants, but I can't seem to find nice ones in his size.  He's a 54 waist.  I ordered pants from studio suits for my fiance and his father and they completely botched the measurements.  I provided a 40 waist and they sent me a waist measuring over 50...unfortuantely not quite 54 or I could have put them to use!  I'd rather avoid giving them another go, but haven't been able to find another option.  Any suggestions?

Thank you!!!

Here is the info:  http://www.amols.com/catalog/product/MX700

There are for my bridesmaids:

These are for me:

Are the candle holders still available?

Everything looks awesome.  You did a great job.  I love you bags.  I checked the christmas tree shop today with no luck!  Can you tell me where you got your maracas from?

Your pictures are nothing less than stunning.  All of the little details, your dress, flowers, table arrangements, party props, all of it...beautiful! Your wedding looked like such a great party.  Congrats!!!!

Congrats and wow, our photos are beautiful!! I love the dresses as well.  This def puts my mind at ease about having Octavio as my photographer in May.

He met us at the airport with the photos we chose and all the photos on a CD so we can print them all at home.  Coming from London we had no choice but to use someone based in Mexico and boy what a bargain find Octavio was.

 

Sorry but it wouldnt let me upload them any bigger. My husbands dad is a photographer but couldnt bring his work equipment with him and he said he was really good and the dusk photos he took as we got married at 4pm are excellent. 

 

You can add me on facebook Jo 'Thomas' Stopps to look at more photos x

 

I couldn't decide so I did one layer each of chocolate, vanilla and marble.

Continue to push for your onsite coordinator's contact info or specifically request to be assigned to one you read good reviews about.  I was told the same thing, just to wait until 90 days prior.  All of my top 3 locations were booked when I finally got through to my coordinator 7 months prior to my date.  Especially if you are getting married during a busy month, I would get your request in as early as possible.

Allison, thank you so much!!!  You have been such a great source of information!!!

Are there any past Moon Palace brides who did pre-travel brochures that would be willing to share her template with me???  I love the idea of sending something out with luggage tags, but I do not have a creative bone in my body!  I would appreciate your help on this soooooo much!

Thank you so much.  This is so helpful!!!

I'm having the same issue.  My fiance and I are not religious and would really like to change the script if possible.  Would you mind sharing yours?  I'm not exactly what it should say. Like what parts are necessary and what can be left out?  I wish they had a more secular version.

All very pretty, but I love the 3rd one.  It looks gorgeous on you!  Good luck!
