Barcelo Maya Palace Brides

Hi Everyone! I'm getting married in January at the Palace. This forum has been great so far, thanks ladies!

We are getting married April 15 at the Barcelo Maya Palace. Does anyone have info on what we can expect from the hotel. Also, how does the music work for dancing. Are we dancing at the disco or at a reception hall area? Any other advice anyone has would be great

Someone wrote that you can book the reception for dancing after the 3 hours for $9/10 more an hour. Wondering if that is per person or a flat rate?

We are going to down to RM next weekend for my friend's wedding. We have an appointment with Victoria to see the resort and find out about questions we have. Anyone have any good questions that they would like answered.

Sorry for all the questions. Has anyone heard if you can use for Ipod for the dancing portion. It used to say it in the old wedding packages.

70 people is a lot! We've had approximately 130 people tell us they are coming?!! We will see when it comes to actually putting down the money though... I'm sending out save the dates with the travel agent's info this weekend.

Has anyone had their reception in the Palmeras grill? Gabriela told me that it's quite large, but they will just put us in one of the "wings" and kind of section it off, even though it'll be a private reception and no one else will be allowed in. I don't want it to seem like it's way too big. And too much empty space. We are having around 60 people.

Also, has anyone used the DJ from the resort? Their DJ is cheaper than DJ Mannia, so I was wondering if it's worth it to use them. If I used the DJ, and the mariachi band, the total of the two ends up the same as the price of DJ Mannia.

Thanks! Cara
