We chose to get married at the Melia next May (5/21/2011) based mostly on this review. I had met with my TA earlier in the day (before I read this) and she highly recommended the Melia but when I read reviews about other resorts I got quickly overwhelmed with information. Erin's review was so helpful and once I read it my gut told me that it was perfect place.

Hi Erin,

 

Wow, thanks for the recap of your wedding. We are waiting to hear back from the WC at the Melia if a wedding date is available for next spring and then we are booking. After reading your post I am super excited and really hope that I can get my date.

 

On thing I am stressing about is whether to do a "Civil" or Symbolic ceremony? My father does not like the idea of symbolic. Are you able to tell me what were the costs of the civil wedding. I beleive the Melia says that the judge is $620 US, are there any other hidden costs? What else is entailed in getting the documents in place for the ceremoney before leaving Canada? Did you have to get blood work completed?

 

Any information would help!

 

P.S. your pictures are beautiful...

So I almost completely followed in your footsteps! We had planned on the Melia Caribe (especially after reading your review) but have now opted for the Majestic Colonial. But everything else...photographer, La Barcaza, colors are the same! Again thanks for all of your reviews and posts, they have been so very helpful!
