I totally agree...I booked them too. I am so excited!

i have a quick question, not sure if anyone will know this. with the packaegs, you get a dinner reservation for up to 35 people. what happens if you have more than 35 people? do we have to pay for a private event?

Also, did you pick all of your readings beforehand and submit them to him months in advance or did you do that when you got on site?

Katiemcad...another May 29th wedding...so excited to hear! I know of at least one other wedding happening on the same day as well..I'm not doing a catholic ceremony so I'm not sure about the priest. Good Luck!

That would be my guess, but not positive....

yeah that's my guess too. at the moment im not too worried that we're not getting free events (even though we have 86 room nights booked) but if they want to have a private event because we have lots of people, then im going to have to fight my corner. we'll see!

How many over 35?? If its just a few, maybe they can work with you. if not....private event!!

I think you have the wrong impression. Moon palace is not at all a "spring breakers" hang out. And every site gives it 4-5 stars. The wrist bands distinguish between types of guests (yellow for honeymooners, green for timeshare holders, etc). It not some all access clubbing pass or anything. And moon palace is secluded and completely off the cancun hotel strip.

well so far im ok, only have 33 so far (and one of them is under 2) but just in case anyone else books! planning ahead and all that!

I too, absolutley LOVE Moon Palace. I have vacationed there twice and plan on getting married there in May. I have not had any problems with my WC or anyone else.

I too will be having a welcome dinner for over 35 people. I was told that the capacity of most restaurants are 35 people. Therefore we are doing another private event for when people arrive. It will be for the day before the wedding...sort of a meet and greet. I was told that we could either book a ballroom or outside Terrace and then serve food similar to what we wanted at from a restaurant. If you have 20 and over (I believe that what the contract says) rooms booked you can have however many private functions that you want. I was even thinking about doing a breakfast or brunch before everyone leaves.
