Hey girls! Did you get the email about Elizabeth no longer working at the Palace??

I just received my contract for the room block, im so excited!!!! I had a question for you 09' brides. When she sent me the first set of info, one of the promotions was kids 12 and under stay free, ( with parent in same room). When she sent the contract, it was not on there. So, do kids stay free or not? Thanks!

Thank you! I emailed her, hopefully I will hear back. Is Elizabeth a WC

She is very nice and wants to make it right for you... when I talked to her two weeks ago I warned her that there was a forum where there were lots of brides not getting responses to their email in standard business best practice time (48 hours) or not getting responses at all. She was conerned, at that time, that so many of us were not getting the service we needed from the wedding reservation girls. I hate to get folks in trouble, but its not just one bride who is having problems, it seems to be more common than not. So the more we call and mention the forum, the quicker I believe, we will get the results we are seeking. Here's her contact info: Carolina Lopez Weddings Manager (877) PAL-4-WED ext. 7554 Thank you so much! Does Carolina have an email? I ask because im in California and they are in Florida right? Its a little easier with the time diff. to communicate by email. Thanks!

I dont have any pictures of me in the dress, its not living with me so my FI wont see it. But here are the pics on the model. It by Monique Lhuillier, the style is "Kimora". When I get it altered ill post pics of me in it.

Is the WC the person who confirms your date? I have confirmed mine, June 12th at 6pm. Im sooo excited! I have been in touch with Elizabeth Stinson, but she does not respond to my emails?? I am looking for information about doing a room block. How soon does this need to be done? Who did you girls contact to get information?

Did any of you or are any of you planning on not having a bridal party? Is it ok for just you and your DH to stand together, or do you have to have someone stand up for you? Thanks!!

Does anyone know if you can do your private reception set up on the beach? Thanks!!

How did you all get price quotes from the photographer your using? Did you email each, or is there a thread somewhere with estimates? Thanks!

For those of you who set up a wedding website,( personal not from the knot), like www.soandso.com. What site did you use? Thanks!

Im getting a little frustrated. I requested my date 5 days ago and have not heard if I got it. How long did it take you to hear? It says 24-48 hrs.

See Cancun Beach - Cancun Beaches - Cancun Beach Resorts - Cancun Public Beaches I am considering a beach wedding and have done research regarding this, MP is huge and you can do a beach wedding on the sand, or in the lake terrace overlooking the ocean (if you want to wear high heels), I have posted previously pictures of the beach weedings for MP (i think). They generally charge 300-700 for the set up (and i think 10 per person) and you get to choose which set up you want. You can do this when you get your WC or in the case of someone I know she changed her mind from gazebo to beach when she arrived to the resort and they accomodated her. I don't know if for sure i will go for the beach wedding because I want to wear high heels lol The good thing about MP is that is huge, so you will be able to have many options...and they have a vendor that has beach set-ups, so don't worry too much. Im still trying to figure out how to navigate the forum, soooo many pages LOL : ) Would you mind posting the link to the post of pictures for the MP beach wedding? Thanks!!!

Finally made it through the 61 pages of posts! : ) I found most of the answers to my questions, but there is one I didn’t see. Is the beach private? What I mean is for MP guests only? TIA!

Thanks girls! I have just started my planning, so I am a little new to all of this. Im going to look at the Moon Palace brides thread and see what I can find.

I cant find much information on this resort. Have any of you heard anything or been there? Thanks!

I think the issue that most of us have had is that we wanted to changes things (i.e. the appetizers, etc) so there was an additional cost for every change. With a custom package you are paying for only what you want. In terms of Fantasy - the legal cermony alone is $1000 - so if you like the Fantasy appetizers and are having a legal ceremony it's probably the best value for dollar. The package though doesn't include dinner - that you have to price per person separately based on what's in the packages. Does that make sense? If you search the Paradisus thread I posted three spread sheets - each one is a breakdown of costs associated with each package for the specific things we wanted. Makes sense. Thank you! I think what I am confused about is the pay for dinner part, since it is all inclusive. I have read other resorts, when you pick your package they will make reservations at the restauraunt for you. And that would be included in your room rate? Is that an option her also? Or do you have to purchase the sit down dinner portion? Off to search your threads now...

I have been reading through your posts, and it looks like most of you had quite a few people. Did anyone use the Fantasy pkg, and only have the 20 people, (or less)? We are working on a fairly tight budget. The packages, do they include everything you will need for the wedding? Or are there alot of extra things you have to pay for? I hope that made sense : ) Thanks!

You girls are all so informative! I love reading through your posts. I have a question about the Dreams Resorts. For the free wedding package it offers the use of a private gazebo. Does that mean the ceremony is not on the beach? I ask becuase the next package up you can choose. Thanks!!!!

My name is summer. I am not sure when the date will be.... soon I hope! Within the next year. The location will be somewhere in Mexico. Looking forward to getting to know you all.
