Hi Mary,

 

We have done a blog post on getting married in Mexico (since we got married here) and another blog post on the pricing and hidden costs of getting married on the Riviera Maya.

 

We prefer smaller resorts, but that's not for everyone. A lot depends on your budget and how many people you expect and whether you want them all at the same resort.

Good luck with your planning,

 

Michael

Hi Charlene Congratulations on your wedding My fiance and I are also planning on a September.I notice you are from the UK like myself and was just wondering if you have had any contact from moon palace as we have tried emailing them with no response and we are only worrying as we want to let people know so they can book up.Any information you could give us would be greatly appreciated Happy planning Nicola

Hey,

 

No, no contact with the Hotel so far other than an email stating that the planning process will start 9 months before we arrive...so if its september they'll prob contact you in the new year.

 

I wouldn't worry about it too much though. Some people -believe it or not- arrive in mexico and arrange everything when they get their.

 

I work for Thomson in the UK and have booked with Hayes and Jarvis (Flying with Thomson from Glasgow on 23rd Sept 13) All I know is that I'm getting married on 27th (Friday)

 

Im not too fussed about arranging too much before I go - Ive chosen the Complimentry Wedding and will be adding on Horse & Carriage and Photography but thats about it as the whole point of us going abroad is to keep costs down

 

I'm so excited its nearly 1 year away

 

Any more questions please ask  x x x

Hi All -- 

 

I am a Moon Palace April 2013 bride. Have been stalking the 2012 forum for information over the last few months, but have found Palace has changed some things up for 2013 weddings. I was previously working with Geraldine and am now assigned to Ricardo, who has been much more prompt with his responses. We are expecting roughly 125-145 for our wedding with most guests staying a week. We will have a Catholic ceremony, followed by a cocktail hour and then our reception in one of the ballrooms (hopefully Star in the Sunrise section). Looking forward to sharing information, particularly about pricing for cake, flowers, etc... 

 

Happy planning everyone!

Hi everyone,

 

I'm getting married April 2013. I have spoken with my wedding coordinator Angelica and she told me that with the new Colin Cowie Collections, you are unable to make changes to the decorations. For instance the only option that wiill go with the colors for my wedding would be the Pearl ($3500) or Pure ($4500), so I wanted to go with the Complimentary package and add little details to the ceremony and reception such as sashes or ribbons on the chairs etc. I was told this cannot be done. Has anyone else run into this same problem?

Hi There,

 

I too did not like all the details of the Colin Cowie collection and the price was outrageous. I decided to opt for the complimentary decor and then add what I wanted using the resort approved Decor Cancun. They have been amazing and I am getting exactly what I wanted for a great price. If you have a vision of what you want it may be easier to just tweak the complimentary decor using this company.

Ask your coordinator for a contact if you are interested.

Thank You airica26, this was very helpful information to list the prices you pay for each.  May I ask which approved wedding decor company you went with?

[mary735]

I would love to hear more detailed information about your wedding April 2013.  Does anyone know where in Moon Palace would be the best place for the ceremony, reception (indoor and outdoor)?

 

Also, which approved decor company are you using?

 

Thank you!
