Hi,

 

I went to MP in June to do our site visit.  The beach is not that great.  Although I am getting married in MP on 4/12/2013,  I really liked the beach at Beach Palace.

Ok I'm new to this site and I'm not really sure how all of this works?!? We are planning a wedding at MP for July 2013, but haven't signed a contract yet. Do the dates fill up quickly?

Also how much of a deposit do you have to put down for the guest rooms?

I will be doing a few DIY projects. I really don't want to take a ton of stuff to Mexico or drive myself crazy with craft fever. I am using vista print to do my programs. I also used them for my save the dates.

Hi Mrs. Liang,

 

If you haven't booked your wedding yet you should quickly look into reserving your spot. I booked a little over 6 months before my wedding date (which is really late) and the latest time they had available was 2pm. I was only able to get a 4pm time slot due to cancellations.

 

I booked my wedding through a wedding coordinator here in Toronto who works out your wedding group travel and wedding bookings at moon palace for you and 3 months prior to your wedding date you coordinate with a wedding coordinator in Mexico to work out the details.

 

I'm going to be starting my wedding planning in less than 10 days. And it's a little nerve wrecking but we'll see how it goes

 

Goodluck planning~

Hi everyone! Newly engaged bride-to-be here! So glad I stumbled upon this site. Question-Did anyone or is anyone using their own photographer?! Mine are personal friends and doing my destination wedding gratis (free)!! I will, of course be paying for their travel expenses and room. I wanted to know if they charge some kind of fee for bringing my own. Also, does anyone have buffet menus/options and do they charge and how much?! The tables are $300 a piece for decor, but how much do they charge for the food?! Someone said they spent $20K on their wedding!! I had no clue it could get that expensive. I am only having about 30-35 people anyways. Thanks! I look forward to all the info found here

I am getting married on March 14, 2013 at Moon Palace and received a spreadsheet from my wedding coordinator Alejandra. So far I have the complimentry package and adding options. I have 18 nights but some folks are booking next month and should be at 30 nights by then. I will get a free cocktail hour and paying for a private function. I will be using Marvin for my flowers and PSAV for speaker and iPod since they are cheaper than JSAV. Also will be using Ocean Photo Studio (Smile Market). I am wondering if I should make an itinerary for the wedding day?!? Any suggestion.

Hello! As long as you book the photographer two nights then you don't have to pay a vendor fee. For the private function it runs about $50 per person depending on the area. Or your may get it for free if you book 75 or more room nights. I just got the buffet meno today!! MENUS BUFFET 50 PAX 2012.pdf - https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8KJizljWeMKYXE3bC0yV0swQ0k/edit
