Melaine - i assumed they were changing as Victoria said she will send me the new prices and she would hopefully have them by july/august. I have been given a price from my TA in the UK and the price is £250 different to the 2010 prices. So i was waiting for the hotel to let me know incase it's cheaper to with them direct. I am at the stage were i want a contract etc and seem to waiting for ever for a reply from the hotel so i might just go with the TA and have it all confirmed in writing. I will feel more settled then

Haha...ladies, I thought this was kinda funny.

 

My WC is Claudia. I e-mailed her the other day asking her when I'd start receiving all the info for my wedding choices (dinner, decorations, etc) and she said that she still needed the booking number for our rooms. I forwarded the email to my TA, and he replied back to us both with the number.

 

 

Then, just the other day, Claudia e-mails us both back  asking for the "booking number" AGAIN...so my TA e-mails us both back AGAIN with the number, saying "I believe I've provided this to you a few times now".

 

Hilarious. He's getting irritated with her, and so am I!!!

 

Luckily I'm pretty laid back and have a feeling I"ll just make most of my choices when I get there.

We are back from our wedding on the 17th. Our wedding was unbelievably romantic and out of control fun and dancing at the reception

Any questions feel free to ask me. My advice is do not stress over the small things. Keep your details, gifts, favors simple. We did and spent more money on better quality items that our guests absolutely loved!! Another surprising thing, well it sure shocked me, Ms. Organized, we had planned on having our ceremony and reception at Coral Beach.  It looked beautiful in pictures, but when we go there, we were disappointed. Gabriella allowed us to change our minds. We ended up switching our ceremony to Playa Azul (highly recommend) and our reception was at the open air grill restaurant there. It was too windy to have the reception outside. I was nervous about the ceremony not being private, but the hotel has workers standing on each side of the reception and they stopped any uninvited guests from getting too close or ruining pictures. I am so happy we had the reception in the open air grill.  I highly recommend having a DJ and renting a dance floor...oh yes and ADD the extra hour for your reception!!!!

 

Ask me questions:)

 

So glad to hear that you had a great wedding!!!!

 

 

So can I ask...what was the requirement for you to have your reception at the open air grill? This wasn't even offered to me...we're currently signed up for a banquet room but if I could move it to the open-air grill I'd love that!!!

Hi

 

About bringing in a makeup artist, I found someone from MAC Cancun that will be doing our makeup... Does anyone have any idea if we have to pay for a day pass for them to come and do our makeup or if they can just come up to our rooms?

Thanks so much!

Hey! i'm totally wanting to get someone too!!! how much are they charging you if you dont mind me asking?? also i would believe any outside vendors you have to buy a day pass, i dont know about the palace i think its 130USD/day OR colonial like 80USD/day... i would just not tell the hotel and pretend like they are a guest or they will probly make you pay some outrageous "outside vendor fee"

 

PM me for the cost of MAC services or reply here is fine!! thanks!!

Hi Ladies,

My photographer just posted some of the pics from our May 29th wedding on her site and I thought I would share. Adrian Guerra was my Makeup artist and I highly recommend him!  Ceremony was at the gazebo with the Reception  in Tule 3 banquet hall.

Happy Planning to all future brides.

I just saw someone on the Unofficial Barcelo Site who has the same wedding date and time as me (January 15th, 2001 @ 5pm)...is that a mistake or do you think the resort is aware of this?

[michelle2011]

Oh Really? I would check just incase. Maybe it's same date and time but different location? Do they do that?

[nmurch]

yep i'd just check it out with the resort .. just in case!!!
