Secrets Maroma.... And Pricing

[lydiasusi]

Hello beautiful brides, and brides to be,

 

I have been traveling the Caribbean, since my fiance and I have first gotten together.  It has now become "our" thing, to do beautiful beach trips, and we both have it strong in our hearts to get married on a beautiful beach in Mexico.

 

I have somehow stumbled upon, Secrets Beach Maroma. I don't know if it's the  beautiful pictures, the somehow vacant beach in the background of the wedding, the adults only resort, or what, that has enticed me to say "Hey, let's get married here".

 

I received the wedding price list this morning, and I am slightly confused.   

 

HERE IS THE QUESTIONS, PLEASE HELP, IF YOU CAN

 

- I know there are actual wedding packages, so what are the list prices for ex:   Gold or Silver Menu + 1 hour open bar + 15% grat   BUT the package "includes" the dinner for up to 20 people?  Are these breakdown prices, to show what you are actually paying for, or if extra people are to come (over the 20 people included in the package prince)?  And DJ for $930....  

 

We are attempting to budget our wedding at a VERY low price.  We aren't ones to think that a wedding is to include everyone in the world that we know, but at the same time, I sincerely want my VERY close friends to be with me, since they are like my family.

 

I would like to get as much advice as I can from anyone who is currently dealing with these details?   

 

Also in pictures i have seen, there have been very few table centerpieces, were these included in packages? or are these additional costs?  Can I bring my own decor? Or will I be charged for that?

 

I sincerely thank anyone who takes the time to answer my rambling questions HAppy New Years! 

I just did math, and for the open bar, food (gold menu for 30 people), ceremony music, reception music, dj (3 hours), dance floor and mayan ceremony added up to $4000.  SO, is this on TOP of the fee you pay for a wedding package?  Help!!!!

Hi! I'm getting married at Secrets Maroma Beach in October so I haven't experienced it yet but I've asked the wedding coordinator lots of questions! The price per person is for if you go over your allotted amount of people. You only have to rent the dance floor if you choose to have your reception on the beach. We will be having the ceremony on the beach and then the reception poolside therefore eliminating the need of the dance floor. Hope this helps!

Also you can bring your own decor. My understanding is that you will be charged if you have them use it to decorate for you. Have you spoke to Cecilia, the wedding coordinator? I can give you her email if you PM me. Happy Planning!

LOVE Secrets Maroma! I had a friend get married there last year and it was stunning. If we didn't have kids attending our wedding then I would have had it there. Instead we are going there for our honeymoon in a couple weeks! I can't wait it's soo gorgeous! Good luck to you ladies
