A friend of mine is getting married at Melia in August, we are going to the wedding too. I'm choosing a resort for my wedding now too. With the help of my wonderful travel agent, I'm sure we'll choose the best place.

Have you tried the resort reviews section? As well, what about the forum for that resort? Here is the one that I found:

 

www.bestdestinationwedding.com/.../64181-2013-melia-caribe-tropical- brides/

 

Then there is also a review

Hope that helps! Good luck and happy planning!

hi @@acw271011,

I found that review and the forum. I couldn't find anything really recent for this year or any brides getting married for next year. I was hoping to compare notes

Keep looking! lol I'm sure there will be someone that will chime in somewhere along the way with some information.

 

Good luck!

Hi Everyone and congratulations on your upcoming wedding. I fell in love with Melia Caribe Tropical but wanted to bring an outside photographer. I kept reading where some brides were asked to pay a $1000.00 outside vendor fee and some brides were asked to pay a pass for $100.00. I just received confirmation from the wedding planner that you would need to pay both the day pass of $100 and the $1000.00 fee. I was so upset about this and there is no way around it.

 

We are using Katya Nova for our pictures and I am in love with her work. She gave me some ideas of having the wedding outside of the resort at either Jellyfish Restaurant or Huracan Restaurant. By the time you add everything up, it comes almost the same price.

Hi @@BeatriceTesoro

 

I am also going with an outside photographer (HDC) and I too found the price outrageous but I really wanted the HDC and they are a good price for what you get as opposed to going with the resort photographer. I am getting married at Melia but having my reception on La Barcaza wedding boat and I feel that for just a ceremony it's a pretty high price to have to pay for just them to take pictures at the resort of me getting ready and possibly a half hour ceremony. Then we will be leaving the resort to go on the boat where he will take more pictures. So not all my wedding is spent at the resort.

 

When is your wedding in May? What is it you have done so far?
