Moon Palace 2012 Brides

[Smoylan]

Soooo excited to leave in just 3 days!! I only have chair sashes (like 15) for the ceremony and maracas and napkins for the recption tables. I am hoping to get those set up...even if its 65 dolllars and just be done, or have my friends do it beforehand!

 

The only thing I care about is the weather....I cant look.....

 

So happy to see to see and hear all the June brides having the perfect day, looking perfect!!!

 

Again, I havent paid for anything in full, havent spoken to Kalena, and Im not worried......I have it in writing that my locations were booked so if its not available........my 26 guests vacations better be free

YAY.......Congrats and your quickly upcoming nuptials.  Wishing you and your guest safe travels, GREAT weather and a beautiful wedding.

Yes, I wore my hair up because of that and the fact it wouldn't hold a curl down there.  I had Sara Tamargo do my make-up and her assistant did my hair.  They did sooo great!  Totally recommend!

we gave Zaray $100, but I don't think that matters now....

Best of luck! Safe flight, and enjoy!!

 

We didn't have a rehearsal, but it turned out just fine.  Zaray explained how it would go (after I told her I wanted the girls to walk down by themselves)  and the second before they walked down the aisle she told them where to go and stand, it worked just fine for us....But I have been in 10 weddings as a BM so I wasn't worried about it, it's all about the same.

Did you actually rehearse, with the wedding planner there?

 

 

YAY!!  I want to see your pix!!!  so therefore I want to be you FB friend.  How do I find you???  Congrats!!!!

Anyways to echo past brides- the wedding day was amazing!! My on-site wedding coordinator (Daniela) was phenomenal!  A few bumps in the beginning, and some issues with Moon Palace but all in all it was the wedding of our dreams

 

If you have any specific questions for me please PM me, as I'm going to be too busy in the next week or two to look at this forum.  I will gladly answer questions PMed to me!!  And I'll post pictures when I get a second, otherwise there are lots on facebook!

you looked so beautiful!!  congrats
!!!

Zaray was an delight to work with and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect event. I'll post my review later once I get pics from the photographer and friends. As I looked back through my own camera I didn't take too many pictures, I guess I was just enjoying the time we had there too much! But here's on that was taken by my cousin on her phone sometime after the wedding.

 

If you have any questions in the mean time please don't hesitate to ask. I'll be happy to give tips or whatever. I will say this though.......set up price is DEFINITELY negotiable!!! I didn't pay one dime for set up!!! And Zaray said it was because I was so easy to work with and had very little to set up. So if you want to save money be nice to your coordinators and don't take a lot of stuff to set up. I tipped her very well in the end to show my appreciation it was well worth it! My advice is try not to sweat

 

It looks like there has been a lot of activity on here concerning the Miami office. I wouldn't pay one cent to them before you leave. They bill everything to your room at the resort. Joannis seems to be the only one doing this & her name is the only one popping up with the fraud cc charges......sounds fishy to me. Anytime I had questions and the Miami coordinator wouldn't respond I asked Janina there. I believe she's a manager so feel free to email her. She's awesome!

 

I hope that everyone has a great week of planning. Congrats to Summer12I I think I saw you at the spa/salon after your hair appt. We were heading in for our massages and then missed your wedding since we didn't make it back over there before 6:30. Your pics on FB look great! Beautiful bride!!

YAY!!  so excited for you!  you will have the best time!

Hi guys!

 

I am still waiting for our pictures for our review but I may say to heck with it.  I have some from friends and family on FB so I will maybe use those.  We really didn't take any pix with our camera. 

 

congrats to all the newly married and so excited for those that are getting married soon!

 

I wish I had my old job at times, so I could still play on this site!  It was soooo helpful to me when I was planning, and so many MP 2012 brides were amazing to me!!!

 

Hope all is well for everyone!  I will let you know when I post my review!!! 

[AlmostMrsRJF]

Congratulations!  You look amazing and it looks like your wedding turned out just the way you wanted!

Glad to hear you got there safe.  Enjoy your wedding & vacation!

I just got off the phone with Airtran and the rep said that they don't have a place on the plane where I can hang my dress except for maybe by the cockpit.  I don't want to take that risk that I can't hang it up.  My dress shop said that they would pack it in a carry-on suitcase, but that doesn't even sound possible.  I'm honestly not sure that it would fit.  I have also heard of brides laying their dresses flat in an overhead compartment, but I'm pretty sure we have a full flight and I know most people avoid baggage fees whenever they can. 

 

Do you ladies have any suggestions?

 We flew Airtran, and while there wasn't anywhere to hang it, they made sure that it laid flat in the overhead. It was kind of a pain carrying it all around three airports, but it sure beat paying another checked bag fee.  When we got to MX, we just hung it up, no steaming required, but mine was all lace. Valeria said they need 48 hours to guarantee it to be ready if you are having it steamed.

I have not been on in awhile and have not caught up on all posts but did everyone know that here is no more dealing with Miami, Cancun now has it's own office opening up soon. My wedding planner is no longer Juana and I am getting reassigned again. Oh well happy that the new planner will be right in the action and not so far away from the actual resort.

Wow, I go away for the weekend and there are a ton of newly married brides and brides currently having the time of their lives!

 

I just got back from Vegas from my first bachelorette party!!! My matron of honor lives in Vegas- so how can you not have a bachelorette party in Vegas?!!?

 

 

So congrats to Summer and MrsJDH2B- your weddings look amazing and you both look beautiful!! I need to find you both on FB to stalk your pics!! Can't wait for your reviews!!!

 

Congrats to Mrs Bruff, NSG and Smolyan- enjoy your special time and can't wait to see pics!!!
