I just got married at MP in October. Yes, your guests can purchase a daypass for whatever day they want to come to the resort. It is effective from like 7am-12am and have access to everything at the resort. They have to buy one for each day they would be visiting. You would need to give the names to your WC and then it will make the process a lot easier. I also had a professional photographer/videographer shoot my wedding-so I bought them daypasses. Let me know if you have any other questions.

From what I've read it opened in 2009. Nevertheless I don't hear anyone else planning a trip there or their wedding there so I'm wondering if there's something i'm missing.?? Help! I stayed (did not get married) at Secret Silversands in February. The crowd is definately, mostly older...40-60's on average. My fiance is 30, I am 26-we felt out of place. The rooms are really nice, food was ok. The mexican restaurant was the best, by far. The other ones were ok. You can lay out on the beach but not too much swimming. Please let me know if you have any other questions! I also have pictures of rooms, etc.

Can you send me some pics pleaseeeee? [email protected] Quote: Originally Posted by HaleGrifa Thank you! I loved my bouquet too - just what I asked for. I am in the middle of getting my pics organized - I am sending a mailing to my guests that includes a cd & pre-paid envelope to have them send me their photos taken during the trip. As well, our professional photographers are currently working on our pics!!! Once all of this is a little better organized, I will be sending packages to our guest and be posting online. Pics - I am all about the pictures - but once you get home you think you will have all of this time to get all of the fun post-wedding items started - but you are soo busy just relishing in the wonder of your wedding and family trip of a lifetime. Besides it is difficult to get back into the swing of things. I will do my best ladies to speed things up - as I know being a bride how much we all want to see them to get an idea of our day. Send me your email and I will attach some pics for you. MP is amazing! Our Wedding was Magical! Wishing you all the best Laura

MP Brides, what did you guys do for fun once the reception? My guests are not going to go to bed at 10 or 11. How far is Moons from "fun"? Is DT Cancun close or are there bars/clubs open late at the resort?

Hi Everyone, I had to switch from Cabo to Cancun...long story. Anyways, I am working on getting booked at the Moons Palace. Can anyone recommend an outside WC to me? Do I even need one? I am going there for a site visit in March, so I figured a WC could help out a ton! I appreciate any feedback!

Hi everybody, I was interested in having my reception at the Iberostar Maya-but I read that they do not have receptions in any "open-air" areas. I wanted it to be on the beach or like an open-terrace. Does anyone know if any of the Iberostar's have open-air areas for receptions, such as the beach? Also, if we do not do it here due to that, what other all-inclusive resort do you recommend in either RM or Cancun? Thanks so much for your help!

Hi! Does anyone have any referrals for a wedding designer/coordinator for Cabo? I am having my wedding at Dreams

Hi Brides! I am getting married at Dreams Cabo on 10/23/09. Does anyone know any Wedding Designers/Coordinators that I can hire? Any referrals would greatly help! Also, has anyone hired one when they had their wedding at Dreams? Does Dreams get upset or anything?

Hi Everyone! My fiance, Mike and I are getting married at Dreams Cabo on 10/23/09 Can't decide between Juan Tapia or Mango photography? Any advice?

Amazing! I want to do pretty much the same thing! May I ask how much they are costing you? You can send it to me privately, if you would like. Thanks!

Hey Salomah! Did you get any type of discount for your site visit at Dreams?

Juan Carlos Tapia would be the other option! I would hope that Mango's package would be better to get both video/pics together!

Great information! Did Dreams give you a discount for doing a site visit before the wedding?

Question-total ESTIMATION...what does the average stay cost for a guest. For example, (of course I am going to do my research) but how much should I be telling people it is going to cost them to stay at Dreams...for about a week? Again, just an round-about estimate? Also, I know my guests will want to keep on partying the night of the reception-what is there to do? Is there anything I can rent out at Dreams after the reception for late night "partying" or anything?

I definately feel both your headaches! I have done TONS of research. That is correct, that priests will only do it pretty much in an actual Catholic Church. There a couple cute Catholic Churches in the town of Cabo-so you can have your ceremony there and then reception at Dreams? Or you can do what I am doing....since I want to feel and have that "wow factor" of walking down to my fiance who is waiting for me.....I am going to have a symbolic ceremony at Dreams, on the beach (So, doesn't mean anything in regards to religion or law) then reception. EH THEN...go home and a few weeks later or something I am going to have an intimate ceremony, legit Catholic ceremony at my parish church. And then have a cocktail/appetizer party for people that couldn't come to Cabo! So, it is up to you what order you do things, or how...Don't forget that if you do the Catholic stuff here, you need to sign up for Precanon classes way in advance with your priest. Sorry lots of stuff, but I know exactly what STRESS you are going through!!!

You are wonderful Tammy! Thanks for the pics, totally helped! What WC did you have?

Yay, thanks so much!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! FYI we have decided to change from RIU to Dreams in Cabo-after lots of researching! Any feedback, suggestions, comments would be helpful!

Mango is winning so far with becoming my photography people for my wedding I am planning at Dreams next October....any feedback about Mango before I book them?

Thanks everyone! Few more questions-does anyone have pictures of either Oceana and LaCasada? Also, what did everyone do after the reception-as usually they end pretty early!?

So we have made our choice-Dreams! Ladies, does anyone have any suggestions on which location to have the actual reception at on the Dream's property? We want to have the ceremony on the beach, but not sure about the reception!

So screw the Riu-its looking like I need advice on which resort to book our wedding at DREAMS OR RIU and why........please HELP!!!!!!!!!

I need help! I would love any advice that anyone can offer on having a beach ceremony (no gazebo) and reception at RIU Palace!?

Hi Everyone, I am currently making my destination wedding plans for late Oct. '09. For sure, it will be in Los Cabos. We are thinking RIU-the Palace. Any advice will be very much appreciated!!!!!!!
