Hey Liz (Colcuba),

I'm in Calgary as well. Which travel agent did you end up using?

[COLCUBA]

Hi Myen,

 

I did not use a travel agent since my family is all over the place, Miami, Venezuela and Colombia. Each person has to arrange their own flights. In regards to the hotel, Moon Palace gave me one contact that my guests can work with and a link that they can use if they want to book online.

Hi Ladies!!

 

My Fi and i just received our wedding contract! I am so excited. We are a step closer. BUT on the contract it says no outside vendors allowed? I thought we were able to hire outside vendors? I am interested in hiring a small mirachi band and prob. more lighting (outdoor wedding -someone suggested that).

Hey Jodimichelle! Congrats on signing your contract- now you can get busy with invites etc... Most of us who are hiring outside vendors are bringing in photographers...MP does have a mariachi band that they use and i've heard good things about them- also the the company that rents the sound system for receptions and ceremonies handles the lighting if you wanted to do more. I think there have been enough good reviews of the mariachi band and the lighting/DJ company to know that you'll prob have a good experience with them...hope that helps!

- oh the other thing is that if you do want to use and outside vendor, most brides have gotten away with it by booking a room for the vendor, that way they will technically be considered a wedding guest. I don't know if that would work for a whole band though if you really didn't want to use MP's band.

Is this making anyone else nervous? I know that they say the beach is not the pretty blue like other locations but is does anyone know if it is not swimable? I have read the seaweed is a real problem. I was just hoping someone could ease my mind. Thanks!

The beach isnt the prettiest, and in all reality, I wouldn't swim in the ocean. The entire time we were there (March 29-April 5) they had a red flag out meaning swimming was not permitted.
