Welcome!

 

Do you know where you are getting married yet? Would be funny if it was at Dreams too since I'm getting married the day before you! I wanted 8/8/08 but it was already booked. Have fun planning!

We havent booked the hotel yet but we're finalizing... I'm debating between JW Marriott, Le Blanc and Le Meridien. JW is already booked so we're down to two @@

Oooo I have a question that hopefully someone can point me to the right direction!! Should I plan my wedding with the hotel wedding coordinator or should I go through a travel agency specializing in destination weddings?

 

The background story is:

As soon as my fiancé and I decided on beach wedding in Cancun, I started research immediately and got tons of information directly from the hotels. Last month I went to a wedding convention in town and found a travel agency that specializes in destination wedding. I figured I can ask them too, see if they can get a better package. So far all the prices are the same (wedding ceremony, cocktail, reception).

 

Now I am debating if I should go through the travel agency or not. The travel agency is not charging anything - my concern is more if it's just easier for me to work with the hotel wedding coordinator instead of telling the travel agency rep to tell the hotel wedding coordinator what I want. I'm so confused. I figure I need to decide soon so I don't waste other people's time too.

 

Any suggestions? Or pros & cons from experience?

 

PS: my fiancé grew up in Latin America so he's fluent in Spanish, so language is probably less of an issue.

Hi! I'm a Cancun bride too -- Paradisus. We are dealing directly with the on site wedding coordinator and she has been pretty helpful so far. Good luck!
