Moon Palace 2010 Brides!!

[moonpalacebride]

Hey again! I had emailed my WC again this morning, and asked her how crazy busy she must be with all the brides. She told me that this year they're not too terribly busy, but a lot of the WC's are off on holidays for Xmas. So, I just asked her if Kalena is on holidays because that could very well be the case!

Ok, sorry for 3 posts in a row! FutureMsMoulton, my WC told me you could email her and she'd help get you going. I sent you that info in a PM.

I can't find pictures of the outside receptions. Anyone have photos? 2) Did anyone go down or is planning to go down before the big day? 3) Is 9 months not long enough plan? We want anyone who wants to come to have enough time. But I don't want to wait until 2011:-)

Welcome!

9 months is plenty of time to plan!! Our engagement is only 6 months long and I have had plenty of time and am actually thankful it's all going down in only 6 months...less time to stress!!

Not 100% on that yet tho.... How about you? What are you doing for your photographer?

I agree...The AHR has consumed most of my time, but I'm finally starting to focus on the wedding part!

I am waiting to hear back from my WC regarding the photographer. I requested David Pena...only because he's the only one I've heard anything about! We'll see if he's available I guess.

I also inquired about David Pena, and they're insisting that all the photographers are the same quality. (Not sure if I agree, altho I haven't even seen any of his work, just heard good things!). I decided that I'm bringing a good photographer friend of mine down to Mexico with us. She's giving us all our photos as our gifts, and she's going to make a beautiful photobook also. For the same price as someone down there, why not right??

Hi, have people decided on which restaurant they are having for their reception? I'm a bit undecided. I originally wanted the Palapa Barracuda (steak house) As it will fit my small group nicely. However now I have seen a picture and they have horrible white plastic chairs and tables... urgk! is this normal or do they change the seats for the al a carte seating in the evening. If not can anyone suggest a nice place for around 26 people? thanks for your help

Hmmm so I've had a change of heart about bringing my friend down with us. My WC has confirmed that if we go with package "E" or higher we'll be more apt to choose our photographer.

 

That will cost me less than flying my gf down, and I think the quality will be better. No offense to my friend, but she doesn't usually do weddings and while the offer is a great one, I wouldn't want her to have a hard time with everything and not be able to enjoy herself (or give me less than awesome pictures)!

 

If I can't get David I'll probably still bring her though!

So I emailed my new coordinator this week with very basic questions and STILL nothing. Come on I am 2 months a 3 days away... how about just saying Hi or here are your wedding choices... at this point I am ready to assume they are going to start kissing my ass or giving me EVERYTHING free because they can't get back to me. Time to email Claudia AGAIN cause she is the only one to respond. Anyone else having this problem with Kalena or Angelica?
