Is anyone a Palace premier member? I have a couple questions in regards to booking weeks? My in-laws are members but have never used their membership. Thanks!

If you have over 75 room nights booked you will have reached the max group wedding perks and will be able to take advantage of the free private cocktail and reception and the dinner reservations will not be necessary!

As much as I wanted one- it just wasn't in my budget- instead I bought a $300 video camera and had my future brother in law tape the ceremony and inportant reception events (speeches, first dance, cake cut, etc). We watched it on our one year anniversary and it turned out great!! Much better than spending thousands of dollars on a fancy video that I will only watch once a year! And now we have a video camera to record other important events!

Hi Tammy! I have also enjoyed being on this site for a few years now and would love to help out! Thank you, Shanna

300 people is a lot to invite to a normal wedding, esp a destination wedding so that could go either way- you could end up with 70 or 200!!!! Just remember destination weddings are meant to be more intimate and as long as your closest family and friends are there to celebrate with you that is all that matters!! I wouldn't have changed anything about my 41 person wedding it was the perfect amount. Now when I go to weddings back home I stress out for the bride and groom thinking about how they have to talk and throw a party for 200 plus people!

They told me they could not give me a script as each person that performs the ceremony has their own version of what they do. Don't let it worry you- all that matters is that they say your name right and you are marrying your best friend!

Nizuc section- centrally located in the middle of the resort and are working on updating all the rooms in that section

We had 40 people and one speaker worked just fine!

I tipped the WC $50, I gave the man delivering the flowers for marvin $5, we just had an ipod tech so we tipped him $10 and $10 to each bartender and wait staff. Be sure to individually hand each person their tip or they may not share!

Karen was my on-site coordinator! She was great and super sweet! You are in good hands!

We did the maracas as well!! I love when I go to friend's houses and see the maracas lying on a bookshelf or somewhere in their house! Such a great memory!

Not if you have the vendor drop off the flowers in the lobby and you have someone meet them to pick them up!

No, you only do the blood test if you are getting legally married in Mexico. Symbolic ceremony = no blood work

Are our old PM's gone forever? I can't locate all my old PM's before the website change! HELP!!!!!

Maya Floral was great!!! We used them for our wedding and I got a TON of compliments on my flowers!

There are a ton of Moon Palace threads out there- I can send you the links if you need- but there is one for 2013 and 2014!

I PM'ed you back! I just got the standard size chair bows and table runners (I didn't get anything long or extra length and it was just fine!

Hey Caitlin! Sorry I just saw this! I haven't been able to get on since they updated the website until now. I will email you the pics after the holiday craziness is over and I will also post pics to the moon palace photos thread. I took pics of all the gazebos and a handful of the terraces! Shanna

What would you like to know? we did the symbolic ceremony in 2012. THe only difference between the legal and the symbolic is the legal they take your fingerprints for the document- the symbolic you just sign a certificate (and you don't get your blood drawn for the symbolic). No one knows it is not legal unless you tell them Quote: Originally Posted by MrsPeele2B Does anyone know what the symbolic wedding is like at Moon Palace? I'm just wondering if we can get a run down of what the symbolic ceremony consists of. Stefani

We are coming up on our 1 year anniversary on Saturday! Can't believe it's already been a year! We will be returning to Moon Palace for our annivesary on Monday!! Can't wait!!!!

including my husband and I we had 41 people. Quote: Originally Posted by lastminbride Shan0487 - Out of curiosity, how many people attended your wedding?

You will get your onsite coordinator around 30 days before your wedding. I never recived a contract when I got married last November- so don't worry- you are fine!

I have been dealing with Anna am I correct in thinking that I will get assigned someone else at some point? (I read somewhere 90 days before the wedding and I only have 77 to go) I have contacted deco cancun/Zuniga about decorations, ocean photography about live streaming & photos and all seems to be going to plan until I read things about wedding contract etc....which I haven't had or even been mentioned, I haven't paid a penny out either and this is starting to worry me, any advice? What stage should I be at? Thanks for any help brides!!

All terraces except the Caribbean should be handicap accessible. I think all of the gazebos are as well. The beach has stair access so I would avoid the beach for the ceremony and reception. Quote: Originally Posted by djsupay Does anyone know which locations for ceremony and/or reception are handicap accessible? I have not been able to get this answer from anyone at the resort after sending emails a couple times over the last 3 weeks.....The handicap accessibility is our only concern

I got married in 2012 and booked thoruugh a travel agent and received the refund back on my credit card about a month after we returned. Is anyone getting married between November 25-30? My husband and I will be there for our one year anniversary and wanted to see if we can crash some weddings haha

Hellen, No I did not- I just told my wedding coordinator how many people I had and she did not ask anything else!
