Barcelo Maya Palace Brides

[sfrench0621]

FutureMrs.D,

 

I had asked Claudia about the locations available for the Strawberry Passion package and she told me the following:

 

"At the Palace we have three options of location for dinner reception on the beach, those can be the Coral Beach, the Palmeras Beach or the Palmeras Grill restaurant"

 

Does anyone have photos of these spots they could share? I want to see what they look like so I can put the reception location on hold. I've already told her I want to hold my ceremony in the gazebo, since I didn't want to show up and have it already booked by someone else and be disappointed.

 

Thanks!

 

Steph

Thanks sfrench0621!

 

I emailed Gabriella yesterday to ask for pictures of the locations, so I will post them if(when) she sends them to me.

Sounds good. I'll request them from Claudia as well and see what I can come up with.

 

I really wish they would come up with a section on the Barcelo Maya's website with wedding information, photos, etc. That would be so helpful and would probably give them more business. Wishful thinking! Thank goodness we have this website to help!

I cant wait to see the pics! I am still so confused why if they are inside you have to pay for the outdoor beach reception...can anyone help me to understand this?

We want an indoor reception...a/c for dancing, but would like to be close to the beach

Any idea what are costs are going to be?

Thanks!

Hey girls! I am leaving for the Palace on Saturday!!! I am soooooo excited! I can't wait to see the resort & I promise I will take lots of pictures! I am also so excited to meet with Claudia (I have already set up an appointment)...I want to try to get as much planning done as possible when I am down there. Any suggestions or ideas on what I should get done while I'm down there?

This is what I have come up with so far:

-food tasting & choose menu

-pick cake

-flowers

-centerpieces

-observe wedding

-observe DJ

-check out possible reception sites & cocktail hour sites

 

Is there anything specific that maybe I could help any of you with? I know I'm going to take picks of anything & everything & check out the different restaurants as well. Just let me know!

I don't think the 2010 menu for the dinners has been published yet -- maybe you could see if you could get an early copy??

 

Have a great trip!!!

Have a great trip!! And yes, take lots of pics!! Like Finzup mentionned maybe try to get the 2010 dinner menu.. and I'm not sure if anyone has received the appetizer/hors d'oeuvre menu?? A part from that, you seem to have a good list on what to check for... have fun!!

[harv0136]
