Hey everyone! Just thought I should update, I decided on going local and i'm doing everything through a Marlin Travel TA. Her name is Petra Buding and she has been amazing. We decided on the Grand Bahia Principe Akumal. Just waiting for the contract to go through and then i'm paying my deposit. After a slow and confusing start things finally seem to be moving! The hardest part is starting, I basically talked to about 4 different TA's from various companies. Petra was the most attentive and quickest to respond so we went with her. I noticed some of you posted about having guests come in from the US. What our TA is doing is giving us land only rates for everyone coming from outside Canada. Land only includes hotel (all inclusive) and transfers. It would be up to our guests to find flights. It's not a perfect solution but a good alternative. Happy planing fellow Canadian brides!

Hi GBP brides! It's my first time posting here! I just confirmed my wedding date for June 2, 2015 at the Tulum Gazebo! So excited! I have a question I was hoping to get some help on. I wanted to have a pool side dinner and reception. I saw the prices at the beginning of this post, just wondering if they were still similar? I noticed the posts dated back to 2007. Just trying to get a feel for total cost (i'm on a tight budget). Thanks!

Hello! I am planning a destination wedding in Mexico for end of April 2015. That's pretty much as far as I've gotten with the wedding planning. I got engaged last week and i'm already stressing on how to start this process. I want to give my guests as much notice as possible so that they cant start saving. I live in Kitchener, Ontario and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good travel agent that they trust? Also, I have family that would be flying from different countries, has anyone gone about planning something like this? I have about 5 people flying from Guatemala and about 6 flying from the US. It would be nice to get an idea of the logistics of how this would work. Thank you in advance to anyone who replies, any and all information is appreciated!
