Hi there...

I got married at MP a couple of weeks ago and have to say that I loved the disco at the MP. We went there almost every night. Sure it was all the same music, really loud, etc, but as someone who doesn't dance all that often, being on vacation made everyone in our party cut loose and have a great time! I loved that it was right there and that we didn't have to take a 25 minute taxi ride up to the bars.

We did plan a shuttle through Elite Travel for one night into Cancun for a small group of girls (14 of us) and it was $59 one way. We actually ended up cancelling it at the last minute b/c several of us were super hungover from the night before, and the rest had plenty of cocktails with dinner and didn't know exactly how long we'd make it in the night, and didn't want to be so far from our resort...

very impressive. how come i couldn't do that? you're awesome....

this is a link to the designers pic of the dress...

I was trying to but it kept telling me that my upload failed... any hints?? I think my files might be too big...

Hello ladies...

Gorgeous Marisa 590 wedding dress for sale. I wore this dress for my wedding in Mexico and it was beautiful!! It is an "unaltered" size 18, I am a street size 14. The bodice remains unaltered, one of the two crinolines was removed from the gown to make it less "poufy" and a very casual bustle was added. I am a size 36DD chest and am 5'7" and wore this dress with 3.5" heels.

The dress is silk white with white alencon lace. It is absolutely stunning. It retailed for $2250, I paid $1850 plus $200 to remove the crinoline and add the bustle. The dress has been "green" cleaned but not preserved. I am asking $950 or best offer plus shipping.

Please feel free to contact me for photos or for more information at [email protected].

I LOVED wearing this dress and would love for someone else to be able to enjoy it at a fraction of what I paid for it!!

Please contact me with any questions!

Hey there!

Sorry I haven't posted a review of MP yet, but I just saw your post and thought I'd share a quick pic or two. We got married in the Tucan Gazebo and had our cocktail hour on the Tucan Terrace... very similar to the Venado but in a little less traveled area...

Our reception was on the Art Terrace, the only outdoor but covered terrace, I'll see if I can find some pics of that too.

Hey there... Congrats! I'm a MP bride too... we actually leave this Friday for our April 17 wedding... everyone here has been super helpful! Good luck with all of your plans!

Hi there...

I am thinking about carrying on my 50 pencil starfish placecards when we fly into Cancun next week... will I have trouble getting them through customs? Last time we were in MX a woman in our line had to throw out some sort of fresh tea or something like that and I was just thinking, crap, am I going to get a hard time for bring in 50 little dead carcasses?

Anyone done this already?

Try to do a search by her name... I know that she has been a recommended photographer for the Paradisus. There are a bunch of Paradisus girls on here who might be able to help you. I believe that people were very pleased with her.

Hey Em!

Yes, I sent the coordinator in Miami a note making sure that we were not going to have any issues getting her on property and she said that we are all set.

How are your plans coming along? You are leaving so soon!!!

Hey! I found these when I was searching for glassine envelopes... they are as close to the BBB folders as I'll ever get and they are 50% off! Hooray!!

See-Thru Velcro Envelopes: paperpresentation.com

Maybe I can go and register at BBB 17 times? That's all I'll need!

I like the glassine envelope idea... I think that the maps will be the only thing that are letter sized... everything else is smaller.

Thanks ladies for the great ideas!

you putting all of the information?

Meaning, are you putting it "IN" something, like a folder or something along those lines or just chucking it into the bag?

I feel like we have a ton of paper stuff going in there - maps of the resort, welcome brochure, separate invites to the welcome dinner, rehearsal cocktail reception, list of stuff to do, photo share cards, postcards from paradise, photo scavenger hunt, list of guest's room numbers... blah blah blah...

What I am really looking for and would love to find are the type of document holders that we received our Bed Bath & Beyond registry info in... anyone know where to find something like that?

If not, what did you do/or are planning on doing?

Thanks!!

We actually pushed their whole "no photographers from Mexico" thing and are bringing in Cecilia Dumas. They are charging us $650 but we feel that it will be worth it. We basically contacted Miami and said that we already had a deposit on this photographer (which was a bit of a stretch) and asked what could be done to bring her on.

I have this link in my email from someone who used them... and I think she may have been from this forum. Here is the link that she sent me.

We are not using them, however, we are having one come in from outside.

Hopefully that link works.

Hooray! I got mine too!

Trish, I not only owe you for shipping, but also your extra fuschia pashmina too.

Oh, and Andrea, I am sorry that I forgot to mention that you looked absolutely STUNNING. What a beautiful couple.

What an amazingly well thought out review! It sounds like you had a beautiful wedding and a wonderful time! Thank you so much for putting the time into this. We leave two weeks from tomorrow for our own Moon Palace wedding!

Hey -

We are actually using a photographer from Mexico, Cecilia Dumas. The Moon Palace gave us a really hard time about bringing in a hotel from the area, but we were able to negotiate that we would pay $650 to the Moon Palace just to bring her in.

I know another bride who is actually getting married there on the same day as me, and she is flying in her photographer from the US, which was no problem at all. They apparently just don't like having local photographers on site for some reason.
