:smileHi ladies it's been a while. just wanted to tell you guys my wedding was the BOMB. THe moon palace is crazy amazing you all have nothing to worry about. the food is crazy good the roomS are SICK (MEANING GOOD). i HAD 48 GUEST SO i HAD UNLIMTED PARTIES. THE NIGHT SHOWS ARE WONDERFUL. aLL YOU LADIES COULDN'T HAVE PICKED A BETTER PLACE. i ALSO SEEN ERICKDAGENERICK GET MARRIED. WE WERE THERE AT THE SAME TIME.i WOULD LOVE TO UPLOAD PIOC BUT DON'T KNOW HOW I'll figure it out. later ladies. Mrs. kat Johnson.

Betsy your pics were beautiful. You know some times I think people for get that destination weddings can sometimes be simplistic and relaxed. I think your pic showed just that, You pics weren't over done,I feel the MP photo person rocked. It's not" A NEW YORK WEDDING" so I don't think all that extra out side photo drama is ness. You have confirmed my decision. PLEASE if you can tell me who your pics were done by I would be very greatful. Thank You Katt

Thank you Soon2bemeleblanc. Girl your right behind me. I picked up my dress to day. I had it cleaned steamed and a bussel put on the lace train. I teared up a little, my heart was so over come with joy over how much I love this man.I can wait to say I do.

" YOU BETTER WORK IT DRTRACY" I'm SO HAPPY FOR YOU; YOU BETTER WORK-WORK IT GIRL. Well ladies it's over.I signed and fax the addendum back to marlyn yesterday. So with 72 room nights and 2 rooms booked with a TA by 2 family members for 5 nights a piece gave us a Grand Total of 82. We now have 30 days until the wedding. My FI and I are arriving on april 23 in the afternoon. The wwedding is on the 27th and we leave the resort on may 2. Most but not all of our guest arrive on the 24th; So our Events are as follows. Sat the 25 we planned a Mixer for our guest a meet and greet if you will. This party starts at 6pm to 8pm. Were having this event on the Moon Terrace. Nany A my wedding planner says this is a wonderful area for my 44 guest Plus 2 children.

Well I just have to start by saying "MARLY TOBON TOTALLY ROCKS" she is the most amazing wedding coordinator. The Palace Resorts are blessed to have her. Marlyn,Carolina in the miami office and Nancy My wedding planner in mexico are the DREAM TEAM LADIES believe it. I have been through so many high and low times plainning this wedding and these ladies held my hand from the first sound of stress in my voice. I found out that two of my guest booked w/ a TA who works with the palace people. Some how that didn,t get add to my Rooming List because the TA didn,tmake the connection and both guest booked for FIVE NIGHTS. Then I had a girl friend book she booked 3 so today at work Yes I had to hussel and come up w/ 2 more nights.So my honey's friend book and now I have 18 Rooms 75 Room nights which means now I really do have unlimited parties and one free week. Now we can (shake-shake-shake )shake our Ms.GenErik you are invited to all my free func's. On sat the 25th there are 13 yes ladies 13 weddings WOOOOOW, so I'm no sure where I'm having my welcome mixer but I know it's going to be Fab were ever Nancy and I decide on. I also found out that Laura Hernandez PLans all the Pub Crawl events OR bachlorett events if you please.Ask your PLanner about her. Thanks aaagain ladies you have been wonderful as well. So now sit back and will watch the shows Weddings that is. Katt

ErickDaGenErick, Thank you for the invitation to check out the chapel and maybe come to the wedding. I can't wait, I would like for you and your New hubby to come to our wedding at the chapel on APRIL 27,2009, at 6pm. On the saturday before my wedding my bridsmaids and I are planning a pub crawl planed by Nancy I "Hope" i think she plans transportation for that ,I think I've hard that somewhere. Anyway i will ask here but I wanna go to cocobong-go, Fattuesdays, Seinorfrogs and DaddyO's. Oh and ladies ladies I'm sad to say there was a miss count. I DONOT HAVE 71 NITES I HAVE 61 that's what I get for not double checking the first time. But I still get the private func. And 4 nights free is better than none, Will take it. We only have 14 rooms booked but we have guest that are staying for 4DAYS ,5 Days so that's how it works. you don't need as many rooms as you do nites. Peace and Love ladies Katt

Halegrifa , thank you for the menu. What great Ideas. I'm gonna use so for them. Well ladies I just found out yesterday from the mami office that I have made it mto 71 room nites. YES! I still have guest that haven't booked,at least 3. That should do it.I'm on my way to the unlimited parties. I have 40 Days to go and this was domn to the last min. I had to send out the big ROOM BLOCKS ARE CLOSING e-mail before people got it. So ladies don't worry people will book at the last min, it doesn't do much for you nerves but just hold on. I very happy to get the free week. I am so excited to have my wedding at the Moon Palace. I am definitly going to post links for everyone to check out my pics.We'll gotta go to work be back on at 5pm.

We have the free reception too. I am still trying to get the 75 room nights though. I am not that far away, but i dont think I will make it =( it sucks cause if 2 of my family members didnt book with Orbitz and Expedia, we would make it for sure. For the free private function, you actually only get 2 hours of the reception. anything beyond that is $60 per table, per hour. I confirmed this with my WC in Miami. Make sure you include the extra horus in your budget so you won't get any surprises. We're getting the DJ too! Package 1 with the video slideshow. Nancy and I were doing a lot of e-mail exchanges last week and she told me that she would be extremelt busy this week. I am not expecting an e-mail from her since she's probablt working on other brides right now. Your day is almost here as well! Hang in there and best of luck =) Hey ErikDaGenErik, Thank's for responding. Thank you for tell me about the extra cost on the comp/function my sweetie says it's cool, Because we have 35 people coming so far so were gonna have do five "Cause we have 5 more guest with flights" tables w/ 8 people at each table. So that's only $300 for 1 extra hour for 40 guest. My wedding is at 6pm so we will only need 1hr because the resort ends out door functions at 10 10:30ish,so that's all will need. After I read your mail I spoke with Nancy so she gave me the cost for the dancers over the phone. We also disgusted a few more details but I told her How much I trust her and some things can wait until I arrive. I'm going to land in cancun on Apirl 23 at noon. The resort had put the free shuttle vouchers in our contract so the shuttle will meet us and my guest when ever they arrive at the airport. I was talking about the slide show i was doing a few threads ago but because my reception is outside they don't set the slidshow up outside. Then I was going to do it at the rehersal dinner Nacny and I talked on the phone about it But i would have to have my dinner in one of the reception halls in order to show the slideshow. If I get 75 room nites then I'll do that because it's free, But for now our slideshow is going to be on the table as favors for each guest. We made sure to include everyone in the Family & Friends section so they will enjoy it. I booked our rehersal dinner in the brizilian resturant it has an out door terrace area the Nancy says is just beautiful and private so we don't have to sit with the other vactioners while we dine.Cool. Well good luck honey your going to look beautiful. I would like to post some pick so you can see me also,what's the secret on that? Oh and let me know when the big day is. Best Wishes God Bless Katt.

We have been sooo lucky to be assigned to Nancy Ariza as our wedding planner. Maribel was our onsite WC prior to that and she was fantastic. It was sad when we received her farewell e-mail. Nancy has been top-notch! We decided to get the Mayan Ballet for our reception. we are so excited to have this performance at our wedding! Nancy also showed us some favors that Moon Palace could provide to eliminate having to bring the favors all the way to Cancun. They have some nice stuff for cheap. You guys should consider it if you dont want the hassle of transporting everything to Cancun. The only thing we are worried about right now is getting the unlimited functions on our contract. we are so close!!! unfortunatelt we have 2 memsbers of our party that booked with Expedia and Orbitz instead of our group rate. This really hurt our chance of getting the unlimited functions. i will be begging my WC to help us make these count. Right now we have enough room nights paid for the free reception. we want the free cocktail hour too since. i have been in contacts with teh new priest, Father Benito. he is very responsive to e-mails and has been so pleasant to work with. wish me luck! i will be posting some pictures of my progress real soon. =) Yes I was saying a few threads ago that nancy Ariza is Amazing. she sooo on the ball with what's happening with the wedding amenities. I'm also heading for the finish line. I only need 5 more rooms to get the 4 nite free w/ private reception and I have 2 bridesmaids, My dad,some groomsmen, that have flights but have not booked yet...So I might be O.K. I was orignally going for the 25 room deal unlimited functions But since I also paid for the top package The Deluxe we get a private dinner at a resturant of our choice for the guest.If I Don't get the "75" room nites for the unlimited function will use the resturant dinner for the reherrsal dinner and do the "60" nite amenities which is the 20 room deal. The ballet sound fab how much is it? We are doing the light show and the DJ set up compelet w/ A Hype Man to get the people groovin and to call the tables for dinner and to announce the speaker and us.

The virtual tour of the chapel is beautiful. I have 73 days. I read yesterday that you can set up a "pub crawl" does the MP set that up?

Dana C tha DJ's not so bad. he's 1,265 bucks for 4 hours and you get lights and a real disco indoor reception setup w/club lights 2. You also get a "Hype Man" to announce the wedding party on entrance, to hype the guest ,call the table numbers for dinner and all that jazz. I spoke with the dude that takes care of the DJ stuff and it Sounds wonderful.

Hey ERIKDAGENERIK I also have nancy and she the best. I'm getting married on April 27,2009. only 86 Days left. She sent me everything I asked for in her e-mails. From table cloth prices styles, to diff vases that would suit my terrace reception. Resturant info ,DJ info the new cakes and prices I mean everything . Trust me she's GOOD STUFF Katt

Marie Thank's I going to call nancy to see what I can do but the last time we spoke she couldn't change my time. I'm just praying it all works out.

Hey Besty, that's for the post yesterday.You really gave me hope.He's my FI is really worried that he's going to have to see me Before. Was it windy on the terrace? Later Days Katt.

Camie thank you.Hey I was reading your post and I didn't know that you could be married already and still do civil nup's. All the research I've done seemed like if you were married already you could only do vow renewal.Wow that's great that you can do is again in cancun. My WC in cancun is named Nancy. We have spoken a few time's but with 96 days let I'm thinking she'll be hearing from me very soon. I decied to go w/ the 75$ center pieces the tall one.I have five tables on the terrace so the damage to my pockets not to bad... LOL. I'm doing the deluxe package which is the 2,200 w/ the 25 room block deal. I'm also doing the guest bag's in the guest rooms. I'm thinking of giving them 1.Under water disposable camera, 2. A little bottle of "Special Bew" the one w/ the worm in it .I am SUPER excited. Oh camie that's again for checking the pic's thing. Katt

hello ladies. Well I have 98 Days until my moon palace wedding. We are getting married in the chapel and the reception is being held on the Tucan Terrace. Our wedding is at 6pm.We were wondering if any other 6pm bride and groom had to take pic's before the ceremony because of losing light after the nup's. I really do want hinto see me before the nup's.Were hoping that because it will be in April we might be able to wait.

HELLO. Last night I was looking for pictures of the Grand Side. when I entered that into a yahoo search trip advisor had like a thousand pic's from people who had stayed at both the Moon & Grand. The pic's where great. some are of vactions and some are weddings but the best part was I got to see all the rooms from different angels I also saw the beautiful presidental sweets and how the paint ball out fits look w/ the guns. Check it out.When I saw all the great bars , lobster dinner boat ride and crazy stuff like that it made me crazy excited. April can't come fast enough. I also did my room block for the 25 rooms and it's going great. Of course my mother in law is booked already and my daddy 2. most of my wedding party are bookng it this week.I'm also doing a wedding sildeshow but I'm not sure of the cost does anyone know? Thank's for your time ladies , Oh P.S Who else is getting married on april 27,2009 I saw that there are three other weddings the same day mine is at 5pm there's a 3,4 and 6.
