Do you have a link?

I am so upset! The photographer we had our eyes on put together an amazing package for us. I was so excited and just now, they said that they are fully booked for our date and can't do it. I have to start research all over again. I've seen many recommendations for La Luna so I think I'm going to send them an email now. ;__;

Thank you~ And that necklace is stunning!!

Oh me too! I totally forgot LOL Something old - Will have to work on this... what counts as "old"? Something new - Almost everything on me will be new hahah Something borrowed - Err... I guess I'll have to work on this Something blue - garter

We're getting hitched next June and I already knew I would be sending out my STD VERY early so people can start saving and booking off. I plan on getting my invites out a little earlier for those lazy bookers (probably around the New Years mark). XD I finished editing our STDs last night and here is the finished product! - Kids aren't our own, but family friends LOL. - I am a teacher and FI is a transit operator (hope that explains some text and images) We grew up together but our families are very different so it'll be interesting how each side will receive this kind of "informal" video.

Thank you <3

Had some hassle with the contract today. =/ Have to fax it in tomorrow, boo. In the meantime, I finished up our DIY STD Video. =D I soooo cannot WAIT for Cancun, the sand here just doesn't cut it!!

Would probably also make sense to say that I'm a teacher and he's a transit operator, hence "books" and "passengers".

We had a lot of fun making this! =D FI and I grew up together but our family backgrounds are very different. It should be an interesting wedding to say the least. LOL Disclaimer: Children in the video do not belong to us.

Anyone know where we can rent a projector and screen for a slideshow during the reception or cocktail? We're getting married at Moon Palace, anyone done this there before?

My best advice would be that if you want fast answers to your questions, CALL THEM. The number is TOLL FREE. I'm working with Janina and during business hours, she answers even before the end of the first ring!!

I was able to call Janina who gave us a buffer of 1 hour. So that the latest we could get there is 1pm. <3 I got it in writing also. I do not plan to arrive be anywhere near the 1pm mark, but it makes me feel better that we have a little leeway.

Where is Tucan located? Also has anyone been to MP in June? How bad are the mosquitoes?

I'm also customizing the P90X program. I'm petite and already in avg shape, all I need it toning. I'm focusing on Ab Ripper, Core, and Yoga. =) I've always loved the program, the hardest part is showing up everyday.

Now I'm wondering if I should just ask her to put me through to Lizzie. Did she give you Lizzie's contact before or after signing the contract? FH and I still can't decide on civil/symbolic. We will be arriving 3 business days prior but our TA checked all flights and the earliest to land is 11:40... That's cutting it really close. I would be so devastated if we got to the hotel an hour late and told we couldn't marry on the day we wanted...

Another member suggested I post my question here: What's the difference between Tucan Terrace and Venado Terrace?

What's the difference between Tucan Terrace and Venado Terrace?

Did you specify all the things you wanted after you signed the contract? Our wedding will be in June and sometimes I feel like I'm doing things too early but your post really made me feel better about it.

Oh wow, how much is a membership and can you apply online? XD

We weren't thinking of doing an AHR at all, but now it doesn't seem so bad to have a get together after our DW. Would it be okay just to invite people out to dinner at a restaurant? It would be informal, people would pay for their own meals and there wouldn't be dancing or anything? I guess that wouldn't be called an AHR but just a dinner?

We're almost twins!! Engaged June 20, 2011, Moon Palace in June 2012 too!!

I'm SO disappointed. I had my eye on the gold Henkaa dress and I just noticed that they vanished off the site this week. I was told they were discontinued. =( Where else could I find something as nice? The nude/champagne really does not do it for me.

I asked Janina these questions and she has responded. Several still do not have concrete answers so I will be redirecting them to the "pre wedding arrangement department" as well. Hope it helps!! Her answers are blue, my comments are red. 1) Do all packages (including complimentary) include the arbour for a beach ceremony? (Yes the complementary includes a white arbour) attach is the picture of the complementary and Ruby. Is there a choice of what color? They included two options in the PDF files, both have ribbons and flowers on the arbour and some more decor for the beach. One for $290USD and the other was $770USD. I'll be sticking to the complimentary white arbour. 2) We were interested in POSSIBLY doing the Ruby Package but were wondering how much would it cost to reflect the wedding in the photos on the website? The one in the website is an upgrade package, attach is the info. To make it look like the photos, it's $1767USD on top of the collection cost. This includes Huppah, 10 Tiffany/Chivari chairs, 10 red chair sashes, 2 judge's table flower arrangements, 1 small box flower arrangement, petals for the aisle, bridal bouquet and groom's boutonniere. Can we substitute, say photography package A for a musician instead? (SorryL unfortunately we do not substitute items) Are there better photos of the Ruby Package? For photos please contact our photo agent, her name is Katya she will be more than gladly assisting you with your request; her email is [email protected]. Also visit our photo website www.palaceresortsweddingphotos.com 3) We want a beach ceremony, do you provide an aisle runner (if I plan on wearing heels/wedges for the day)? Yes we provide the runner, attach is the pic. 4) For a symbolic ceremony, can we see the vows and review the words or make small changes? Attach is a sample, yes you can make small changes but you have to notify your onsite wedding planner. The words are religious, I am still inquiring about a more "secular" option as we have guests with many varying beliefs. 5) What music will the musician(s) play? Can we specify? Yes you can request your special songs. J 6) We are having two friends take our photos; they will also be guests at the resort, is this okay? As long they stay at the resort as guests yes, please notify this to your onsite wedding planner. 7) I don't want wrist bands to be in our pictures, can we take off our wrist bands on the day of the wedding without being charged a fee for us and our guests? Yes the onsite wedding planner will take care of this J she will remove the bands for the pictures, no fee as long the wedding planner is the one who remove the bands. 8) Are the mosquitoes bad in June? (J Hard to predict, I was there last month and I did not have a problemJ) 9) Does "ceremony" include cocktail hour? (No, attach are the prices for the events and prices) Or is this complimentary with the 3 night booking? All weddings are required 3 business days prior, including complementary wedding package. They didn't really answer my questions here. And can the musician(s) stay for cocktail hour? (Yes but is additional) Are there different rates? Depends of the type of musician, this has to be request with the wedding planner so she can request a quote from the musicians I will forward this question to the coordintator. 10) How much for a private reception? (Attach is the info) $400 per table of 10. 11) If we use the dinner reservations for a reception, where will it be held? Is a dinner reservation at one the restaurant not a private function. They will arrange tables and chairs to be together in one area so everybody can seat together, however the restaurant will be open to other guests. Max 35 guests for a dinner reservation, if you have more you have to purchase a private event. Do we choose the restaurant? The planner will give you options for you to select. 12) Can we use outside vendors? (I am not sure about the wish laterns, this will be with the planner) sorry we do not allow outside vendors. We have our own vendorsJ. 13) Is there a separate room the groom can stay in the night before the wedding? You can purchase an additional room for that night.

Thanks for the tip!! Do they alter or would we have to take it to get altered? Do they have it directly in store or did you order online? What is your FI's footwear going to be? Sandals or dress shoes?

Thanks for the information, Pierre! Do you know which cenotes in Cancun photgraph the best? (good lighting, few tourist, good space, low price)? What is your recommendation?
