Hi Brides! Did anyone use an outside photographer? If so, did you pay for the 2 night stay? or pay the $500 deposit? I'm trying to get a price for the 2 night stay but it wont let me book for 2 nights it has to be a 3 night stay. What did you ladies do? Also, my wedding is on May 25th and my WC has not contacted me? Should I be worried is this normal? Thanks Ladies!

Hi Ladies, I had a question, for all you who have already had your wedding at Barcelo. Our wedding is less then 4 months away and I still have not gotten a response from my WC. Our ceremony will be at the Coral Beach( I believe this is the most private beach?) There will be about 40-50 guests. I had told my WC about 30 guests, but my list keeps growing. Does any one know if theres a deadline to which you can give the final count? Since we chose the Mint Breeze package the reception will be inside. My WC had sent me a photo of the banquet room, but it looks so plain Does any one have any photos they can email of how you decorated the banquet room? [email protected] Also, do you know if the resort offers drapes and lighting? Did any of you have to bring your own decorations? or do they take care of everything? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just getting a little worried since I don't hear back. Thanks for all your help ladies! Julie

Hi Ladies, My wedding date is May 25th, my fiancé and I had already decided on the Mint Breeze package. but just know are having second thoughts on changing to the strawberry package. The price difference is about $3,000! We love the idea of having the reception on the beach and cant imagine being indoors for it. Based on your experience what do you recommend??? Also does can anyone share pictures of the banquet room decorated?? Thank you! Julie !

Hi FireyNurse, How exiting! I would love to hear all about it when you get back. We are getting married May 25th on the beach and staying at the Barcelo Maya Palace. We chose the Mint Breeze due to our tight budget, even though I really wanted to reception on the beach. Our wedding coordinator is Victoria as well. She is good it just takes a couple weeks for her to return my emails. Anyways I've never been to Cancun nor ever been to a destination wedding. I'm a little worried of the unknown details of the wedding. I would like to get the centerpiece emails and any advice that you can give me. My email is [email protected] We are expecting about 40 guests. I noticed some of your guests will not be staying at the Palace will this affect the price in your wedding package? Quote: Originally Posted by FireyNurse I can't believe I haven't seen this thread before! We are leaving for the Barcelo in just 40 days! YUP I am SO excited! Our wedding is November 28th, 2012 at 3pm at the Palace Gazebo! We have 26 people booked, most staying at the Colonial and a few at the Palace. We will be staying two weeks at the Palace! We have the Strawberry Passion package because we wanted the reception on the beach. I forget all the choices we made for our reception food but the main meal is Surf and Turf, I know that much! Our coordinator is Victoria and she's been good so far. We also booked Juan Navarro, we loved his work since the day we first saw it and he is super reasonably priced! We also booked PlayaWeddings to do videography after seeing their videos and hearing from several past destination brides who didn't have their day filmed and wished they had. Here's a tip for getting around the $500 fee (as we were going to have to pay $1000 because of the two vendors), go to Barcelo.com and sign up for mybarcelo, they send out deals every so often and you can book your vendor two nights at any of the 5 resorts there (we booked the Beach for our two photogs) and we saved ourselves $400 by doing it this way! The rooms were each $297 total for the two nights - much more manageable than the $500 for them to be there for the day! I have the centrepiece emails and the menus as well if anyone wants them I can send them to you if you give me your email. Because I am done all the planning process with the coordinator already if you have any questions about the process of that let me know and I can try to help out! I am SOOOOOO excited our wedding is getting so close! Happy Planning Palace Brides!
