Hello, My name is Melissa, and I'm excited to be a part of the BDW community. My fiancé and I have been engaged for 7 months now, and we just started to get into our planning. We visited Mexico this past December and after visiting a few hotels, we've decided on either Azul Fives or Grand Velas Riviera Maya for a wedding May of 201. We realize these are two very different hotels, price points and experiences overall, but we love them both. We've received contracts from both and find the process a bit overwhelming. If anyone has any advice regarding negotiations or recommendations on the properties, your point of view would be greatly appreciated. Lastly, since we live in Chicago,we're also considering engaging a wedding planner. Does anyone have any recommendations. Congrats to everyone and I appreciate your help, Melissa
