We totally have the same wedding date!!! I'm getting married at the Barcelo Maya Palace in Riveria Maya. I have accomplished just about the same as you as well!!! lol ..

I am also a teacher planning to get married next year. It's my first year at a new district and didn't want to start taking off during school so a summer vacation was a must! Our date is set for July 25, 2014 at the Barcelo Maya Palace

Congrats!!!! We already set a date for July 25, 2014. The only thing with this resort ( Barcelo Maya) is they put the date on hold until you book your stay which I think is kinda silly because like you said we can't book any flights for July 2014 yet. We haven't sent save the dates yet either. Planning on sending them early August since we are going for a site visit in July. I am also impatient I want to start the actual planning so it can feel more real!

Does anyone know if there is a Barcelo Maya Brides Facebook page? I tried looking for one but didn't find any.. Maybe it has a different name?

Hello ladies!! I have a silly question regarding the Vista Print offer on living social. I'm not familiar with buying anything from living Social and I'm having a little trouble understanding the "fine print" it says paid value expires on 4/9/2018 and promotional value expires on 6/30/13. Does this mean I have until June to buy this and have until 2018 to spend it?

Hi Ladies!! I am also a 2014 bride. I had posted on this thread months ago and wow I went from being undecided to thinking I would get married at the Gran Caribe. Well few months later, we have a wedding date set for July 25, 2014 at the Barcelo Maya Palace in Riviera Maya. We already booked out site visit leaving exactly a year till the wedding. We are hoping to send our STDs after we return. I want to take a nice picture on the beach to put on our STDs. This weekend we went to clean my e-ring and walked out with our bands! I'm also in the process of booking the photographer. We have decided on Ivan Luckie. I'm soo excited that things are starting to fall into place. Can't wait!!

Thank you for all this information. I am in the process of booking a photographer and a few of my questions have already been answered by reading this thread!!

Thank you for the info!! Right now I have 3 runner ups : Ivan Luckie , Sascha Gluck, or Juan Navarro!! Decisions Decisions .. How do I pick ??

Also, what photographers are you ladies using? I'm starting the process of shopping around for one and don't know where to start.

Hello ladies!!! I am also getting married at the Barcelo Maya Palace. My weddin date is July 25 2014! I'm so exciting to be making my first trip to Mexico for a site visit this summer! My wedding coordinator is Jacqueline who I will be meeting during my site visit. Looking forward to getting a lot of ideas from you ladies!

So excited! I finally picked a resort the winner is The Barcelo Maya Palace Deluxe in Riviera Maya!! Now I need to set a date!

OOH WOW!! That's not bad at all!!! Once I make my mind up about a resort I will ask if they are allowed. Definitely more cost effective than fireworks and are as beautiful!!

Are these webinars exclusive to brides getting married there or anyone interested in the resort can participate as well?

How beautiful! I just skimmed through this thread and saw the pictures. Are these expensive?

So glad to have stumbled across this post! One of the main reasons why I am having such a hard time finding a resort is because I want a Catholic ceremony and I knew not many resorts offer that. So far the Barcelo Maya Palace Deluxe is the front runner.

AllieH Thank you sooo much for the info!! Yes I am working with a TA will inquire with her.

Hello ladies, My FI and I are having such a difficult time trying to pick a resort for our July 2014 wedding. we (mostly me) have changed our minds about a dozen times. Most of it its either the crappy wedding package, too expensive, unattractive beach, small pool. Definitely know we want a resort in the Cancun/Riviera Maya area. My question is how do you go about setting up some site visits to various resorts in say.. a 2 day span? Who sets that up for you? Do you have to make an appointment with a WC at each resort prior to getting there? How do you get there taxi, shuttle?? And lastly, do you have to buy a guest pass to do these site visits? Please help.. I'm super stressed out and ready to call it quits push my wedding another year and just get married in NJ. (Not our dream) :confused:

Ladies who have been to the GCR Is that pool really that small? My heart is really set on this resort but then I compare that pool to others and as much as I am in love with that chapel .. That might be a deal breaker.

I never thought this would be so difficult. Picking a resort has definitely got to be the hardest part.. please tell me it gets easier!

That's hilarious!!! FI and I are going for something funny too! Far from creating STDs but I will post when we do

Ooh wow!! That's awesome good for you!!!! Here I am haven't even decided on a resort yet. Where are you getting married?

Thank you for the suggestion!! I'm currently waiting to hear back from my TA for the Barcelo Maya

No I have never been to Mexico, just vicariously through pictures. Thank you for that information it makes total sense!

OMG that dress is too die for!!!!!!!!
