Catalonia Riviera Maya

[yasminlkerr]

Hi!

 

Any new brides out there looking to get married at the Catalonia Riviera Maya?

 

We're looking at having our wedding here October 2013, this forum has been amazingly helpful so far!

 

Just wondering are the Catalonia Riviera Maya and the Catalonia Yucutan the same resorts? Also is the private reception location included in the wedding package, or can you pay extra to havr this?

Hey Ladies,

Hasn't been any acctivity on here for awhile. Just wondering if there are any brides planning upcoming weddings at the Catalonia Riviera Maya. We have our wedding planned for April 22, 2014 and I would love to get in contact with others who are currently planning a wedding here as well.

I am currently in the process of booking my wedding there.  Just waiting for the contract from them guaranteeing my date for April 2014.  I love how fast they respond.  I have been going back and forth with their WC for 2 days and she always replies within 2-3 hours (unlike other resorts)

We are booked at Catalonia Riviera Maya for July 22, 2013! It will just be the  of us since we are eloping.

We just booked as well for May 1, 2013. I would love to hear about everyone's experience so far!

I just sent in our contract today for Feb 18th 2014! I'm a little nervous that we don't have to put a deposit down or anything, but I guess it will all work out!

 

How do they do with trying to put your guests' rooms all together or is the resort small enough that it really doesn't matter?

 

Also, has anyone had a private reception...do you think it's worth the money??

 

How is everyone booking their trips? My fiance and I booked through travelocity and just gave the resort name and dates to our guests and the WC said to just send her all of our names once they are booked?

 

We are going to do the renewal of the vows ceremony and think we might have enough guests to get it for free...has anyone else done that??

 

Reading everyones' posts gets me even more excited than I already am!!

This is our wedding video from July 22, 2013.

The wedding pictures were done by Photosmile Photography [email protected] She did a great job and was a very good price! (I made the video)

Hair $45 make up $45 done at the salon

Sorry the after photos where done at the hotel with my camera. they were taken random people at the hotel. We eloped but made so many friends, We went to the club that night at the hotel.

If you watch the video I posted you will see the area we used for the wedding. We used the back up area because I wanted the ocean behind us. The normal area is nice but it has alot of rocks in the pictures so it didnt have the beach feel to it.

Hello ladies

I booked and am in the process of planning the wedding for beginning of April 2014. This forum helped so much because it helped me think of questions I did not know to ask. I am planning on booking a private reception with a Dj. Can anyone please tell me if booking a DJ is worth it because we intended on most of the wedding party going to the disco anyhow. Thank you ladies so much it helps to know that the CAT is a great place to have a wedding I was a little worried.

 

Thanks Elizabeth
