Ok I am having a complete brain fart so I need some help. The wedding packages that were sent by the WC dont include the cocktail hour or reception, right? are they extra? if so, are they considered a private function?

 

ahhh!

 

thanks in advance!

question for all MP brides. I am getting married at the moon palace in March. do I get a wedding planner from MP 3 months before the wedding or 2 months? I thought I was told 2 months.

 

Also does anyone know of someone that has gotten married at an of the palace resorts and used there photographer? We are still deciding to go with the photographer at the resort or a private one.

That's right.  The package only includes a dinner reservation for 30 or 35 people.  A cocktail hour and reception are considered private events and they are extra.  I can post the price list if you need it.

@JLR Hi!! We're barely days apart for our wedding! What days are you going to be there? Cool to find another Nov bride on here!

 

Hi everyone! 11.1.11 here. I'm sure I'll keep checking back through this thread, especially down the road and closer to the wedding date. No private function here. Complimentary vow ceremony and adding extras as we need. Lots of stuff already picked out, but soooo much more to go!

 

Happy planning, everyone!

so the 30-35 dinner reservation can be for a welcome dinner?

 

I seriously thought that there was more included in the package lol

That's exactly what I'm doing.  I scheduled that for my welcome/rehearsal dinner at one of the restaurants.  If I wind up booking 75 nights, I will change that to a private function as well. 

 

I intially thought the packages included much more as well.  Once I realized how limited they are, I decided to switch to the complimentary package and add the things I wanted.  It definitely saved me money.

@JenW818- I did the same thing. I choose the complimentary package and added on any extras. When I added it all up, I saved money going with the complimentary package although I added extras. sounds crazy right?!?! but it's true. I also am looking forward to getting complimentary cocktail hr and reception. Let's hope i have enough bookings! Keeping my fingers crossed!! LOL

You get a WC 3 months prior to your wedding. As far as the resort photographer goes, I haven't read such great reviews. The photos I've seen from their photographers aren't that great either. That's just my opinion though. My photography style is more of a photo journalistic style. So I booked with an outside photographer, Moments that matter photography. Their work is AMAZING!! There are other great outside photographers but their prices we're too high for me. I'm getting the same photography style for a few hundred dollars less. Pictures are very important to me so I have no problem paying a bit more. Even if it means that I have to cut back on eating out with the FI. LOL
