Sorry ladies, I have no idea if this one is just a salad menu, or if its another resturant. Maybe one of you could clarify. If I have anything wrong please let me know The info I was sent wasn't very clearly described, it was just sent. Also sorry I was unable to attach all the menu's together, it would only let me do one at a time. KPLANTA, which menu did you get to choose off for your reception, and is the place you had it at indoors or outdoor, I am not sure exactly what PCB is . Thanks

Here is the Spa Info I was sent as well. Thanks

If you have your reception in the Pure Chill Out Bar (PBC), then you pay per person for the meal. The meal I chose was about $60 pp. It is not a restaurant, it is an open space (with roof and floor, but no walls) on the beach that is used for a bar, but is rented out for private parties such as wedding receptions. When you book it for a reception, you don't pay any other fee other than the cost for each persons meal. Gabriella will send you the dinner options if you decide you want to rent out the PCB. It is not the same as the restaurant menus.

You can only have your reception in an actual restaurant if you have less than 20 people attending. However, I think the PBC is a better option than the restaurant because it is private and on the beach....just my opinion.

The $15 charge is for the ceremony, not the reception. You pay it per person for every person over 20 who needs a chair at the ceremony. It covers chair set up, cake, and sparkling wine toast afterwards.

Hope that helps!

Also, I ordered my towels from Cotton Fruit Inc. based out of Miami.

They did not deliver to Canada, so I had them delivered to my FIL in the States who brought them along with him to the resort.

Hi!

I have my wedding booked here on October 26th and just read through the entire thread! So helpful. We have stayed at this resort a few times, but the wedding planning is a whole new thing. Anyone else with a fall wedding planned?

L&C In Love · May 27, 2011

Hey ladies,

Got back 2 weeks ago from my wedding on May 5 and couldn't be happier!! Our group was 44 people altogther with half only there for a week and the other for 2 weeks. The meeting with gabriela was a little overwhelming but I think it was just because I was hot and hungry and then after all of the wedding things we had to do went quite smoothly.

The wedding day was everything I thought it would be and more. Gabriela and Pilar did an amazing job! Every detail was looked after. The dinner, we had the grill menu, was sooooo good. Many people said it was the best meal they had at the resort, it sure was my favorite. Gabriela performed the ceremony and did a good job, if I were do it again we would get someone we know to do the ceremoney as we just had a renewal of the vows. Gabriela's english is good but she has a thick accent and she wore her hotel uniform, would have been nice for her to wear more "wedding appropriate" clothing. Its weird because Pilar wears a nice skirt and blouse.

We had a honeymoon suite, such a nice room. We got a bunch of freebies with it. Being privledged status at that resort is so worth it and it really isn't that much extra to upgrade.

The only complaint is that we had to pay extra for the cake as we had more than 20 people and I was so full and busy dancing that I didn't feel like cake. BUT Pilar said they would put it in the buffet kitchen and we were just supposed to ask for it. Well we did and they had no idea what we were talking about. We went to Pilar so she could try and find out but nothing was done. I was very disappointed that I didn't get to have any of my wedding cake. Didn't matter at the time but was really disappointed the next day. But what do you do we didn't feel like pursuing it any further.

I got my hair and makeup done with Melissa Parry (MVP Hair and Makeup) and our photos were done by Ivan Luckie. Extremly happy with both and will be posting reviews of everything soon.

Rather than repeat was has already been said if any future catalonia brides have any questions feel free to ask. I will try and post some pics soon, I want to wait for the pro ones

Hola Ladies,

I noticed this thread needed a little update and I'm stoked to share with you a few images of our most recent Catalonia Riviera Maya Wedding Story!!!

The location is fantastic, very colorful and the bay area is great for pictures! Amanda + Andrew dreamed about a casual wedding on the beach with friends and family followed by few drinks and a mariachi band...here are a few of our absolute favorite moments:
