Exciting! since you have lots of time, my advice is to take lots of time to find the prefect venue for you and an excellent TA. my TA has been my biggest hassle as well as booking timeline. research your heart out! congrats!

Hey I also got engaged on Christmas And we too are having a Mexican wedding in January of 2011. I know you said you wanted it near cancun, but have you concidered Cabo san Lucas, In the Baja (BCS)? We stayed at the Hilton there last year for my fiance's birthday. AMAZING!!!!! The beach was beautiful. No Seaweed at all! When we started planning the wedding we looked at each other and said "CABO!" It is a true paradise. I can't express how wonderful this place is. Look up some photos or if you would like I could send you pictures.

I've never been to Cancun, but it is a pretty big tourist place. A lot of my friends have been and everytime I hear it is crowded. When we went to Cabo, I think that there was maybe 10-15 other people at the Hilton. ...and if I'm not mistaken -Dec.-March is their main tourist months. Other than that everything is pretty much calm, so if you wanted something more personal with not a lot of tourists, that would be another reason for Cabo, but that depends on your personality along with your wedding party/guests.

Just some food for thought

Congradulations on the wedding, It'll be a wonderful day, no matter where you end up. best wishes!

Hi there!

Congrats on your engagement! My fiance and I went through the same thing as you, I think. To be honest, I think the seaweed is something that may happen at any of the resorts depending on the weather, time of year, etc. However, most of them have people who come out in the mornings and comb/clean the beaches to avoid that. Perhaps thinking about having a morning wedding might help.

Moon Palace is a gorgeous resort. I'm sure you won't go wrong no matter where you choose. However, if it helps you at all - when we were planning our MX wedding (we ended up not being able to have ours there), we were between RIU Palace and Dreams Tulum.

Good luck in planning!
