Hi Dina, Great to hear you are under $300 and that you'll take the receipts. You'll be covered then. I have not had a bad experience, but I know well how the customs officials work in Latin America. Also, goods are sometimes more expensive there than that we find online here, and so they don't believe the price of things (specially those that come from the $ star). If they see people with lots of baggage, they don't do the random check system (red/green light button - you'll see when you're there), they just pass you to inspection directly because it's likely you are brining in more than $300. Without the receipts, they can assign any amount they want to your merchandise. Anyway, good luck with the packing. The list sounds like a great idea! Sending good juju your way Dina! H

Dina, Any chance you can ship some things? Customs is going to try to rip you off. Make sure you have we're receipt. The max you are allowed to bring in without paying taxes is $300. I'm not sure how much the official tax rate is for everything above that. But they will try to rip you off, lie, etc... So do the research, being the receipts, and be prepared to be assertive (not aggressive). Good luck hon!

Hi Ladies, Does everyone have two contracts? One for the wedding and one for the rooms? Thanks

Donna - Thank you.

Congratulations!!! Can you send me what you got for pricing from PSAV? I'm also about to sign my contract. Any advice? Thanks!!!

So happy for you! Congratulations!!!

I'm a Mexico bride (for the All inclusive options mainly). So, I can't be much help on other locations. We never considered or researched another one.

Hope everyone's day went great!!!

Making wedding wishes come true! What's a country you really want to visit soon? (non DW related girls!)

The Devil Wears Prada - Meryl Streep - the Iron Lady

I'll look that up! Thanks for the great tip! .

Hi misbosox, Could I trouble you to send me the attachment please? I can't see it just yet. Thanks so much! [email protected] H

Parece que no somos muchas!

November is here!!! We've postponed our very last minute wedding...now to May...but I'm so excited for all of you! It's here!!

That's great, Christine! Thanks for offering. Can't wait to see the pics. Have a great visit!

I've gotten the standard $800 outside vendor line, too. You may want to check the 2013 and before boards for how this went for other brides. It's all the help I can think of now. Good luck and tell us what you find out.

Hi Julie, I just got back from there. Both terraces are beautiful. You can't go wrong with either. I'm not sure about the menus (I don't have them yet), but the main buffet option (Bugambilia buffet) is Mexican, and there is a Mexican speciality restaurant. So, you may want to consider that. Same goes for the Italian I guess (1 a-la-carte in Sunrise and the speciality one at the golf Course). I haven't heard about the event limit. I'm just now dealing with the contract, and would be forever grateful if you could send me the document with the people limit for a welcome Dinner (or any other document). I have asked multiple times if there are limits on the number of guests for the free events and they have said no. My email is [email protected] Thanks!

CTlind - Yes, that is what I am being told, no document yet. I think it's ridiculous. What document is that in the pic?. Can you send it to me? [email protected] I will qualify, most likely, for unlimited free events. I can have 'unlimited guests' (I've verified this). So...if they are through the group booking there is no extra charge, if they aren't then there is. It should only matter if they are guests at MP or not. As far as memeber weddings, we would be member guests, all my guests are also memeber guests if they book through the memeber group booking. Great rates and benefits for those staying 7 nights or more, but not for those 3 night stays. All the wedding 'amenities' apply. And like with non-memeber bookings, if people book out of the group booking, their room nights don't count towards your count. I'll write to Tammy and see if she can help. I haven't signd a contract yet. They are so amazing at the hotel itself. But it's so hard to deal with the sales people. Thanks

I'm dealing directly with the hotel bc we are using our friend's membership. We haven't booked or created a roomgroup booking yet. Now they are saying that not just will I NOT get the nights countd towards my room nights of the wedding benefits, BUT also that anyone that books outside of their 'group booking' will have a charge of $55 for the reception and $22 for the cocktail!!! Even though they will be staying at the hotel!!!! Has anyone heard of this?? Seen it before? They are driving me crazy.

Jeana, What did you end up doing? I'm looking into Moon Palace now.

Bad news on that end. I was told that they're not allowing anyone in until mid-late Nov. (
