Newbie - Getting married October 2013 in Moon Palace Grand, Cancun
Dondon84 replied to ashleyroslyn's topic in Newbies!!
Hi I would make sure that anything discussed through emai, phone calls ect is also written in your contract and broken down. Even how you are going to pay! We were told that we could pay cash in resort when we arrive but then a few days before we were due to leave we had an email asking for a deposit of 100% of the total invoice to secure all our bookings (photographer, psav, all wedding extras ect..)!! After a few emails back and forth they agreed that we could still do this even though we were told that this would be fine from the start! If you are taking any decorations like favor boxes ect, I wouldn't tell them until you meet with your onsite wedding coordinator in resort. Otherwise they may charge you set up fees. Our wedding coordinator just took all our decorative bits, chair sashes, favor boxes, table crystals, ribbon for the cake and said she will sort it on the day. A fee wasn't even mentioned Hope this helps Any questions just ask xx Good luck, your wedding day will be amazing. I want to do it all over again and I've only been married 3 weeks! :-) Donna x -

Hi, Our wedding day was amazing :-) We got married at 4pm Tucan gazebo, 11th October 2013 We had our cocktail hour at the Tucan garden and dinner and reception on the Tucan terrace. All perfect :-) The horse and carriage is a must!! We had the mariachi band during the cocktail hour to keep guests busy while we had photos on the beach ect.. They were fantastic and very funny. Even played requests!! Weather was perfect, food was great, we didn't have to do anything but turn up!! Valeria was brilliant, we met with her the day after we arrived at the hotel. We went through the emails I had been sending our off site wedding coordinator (Brenda) and it was very easy. Valeria made us both feel very relaxed about the whole process, she was amazing. We took decorations eg.. Wedding favors, chair sashes, scatter crystals ect. . And Valeria set them up perfectly at no extra cost!! Extra fees weren't even discussed!! Valeria was at all 3 of our private dinners that we had set up and made sure everything was ok before she left. On the wedding day she stayed with us through the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and our reception. I can't recommend her enough, Valeria was brilliant We had PSAV for our audio package and dance floor. All was set up before the ceremony (4pm) very polite and would highly recommend We had Ocean photo studio for our photography and videography. They were great, so friendly. Did all the shots we asked for and so much more. Again I would highly recommend I will post pics soon xx -

Congratulations S-H!! I am so pleased you wrote on here, it's hard to get questions answered by the moon palace so to hear your wedding was perfect and the process simple is a huge relief If you don't mind me asking, we are planning to have the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner in either restaurant or outdoors but would like to have some sort of party/reception after the dinner. Did the wedding coordinator go through any options with you for things to do after the dinner reception?? We have 30 people coming with us now so would like to make the most of the whole day and night for as long as possible as we are not doing anything when we come home (party on the beach or one of the terraces etc.. ) Congratulations again :-) Donna xx -

Hi Charlene , We have had our birth certificates stamped (apostile) but we are getting them translated in Mexico. I had an email the other day from thomas cook saying that the new law in Mexico now is that you have to have them translated when you arrive in mexico! Has anyone else had this email? We were going to do this anyway but just wondered if anyone had received the same info? -
