Hi Heather! Congratulations and welcome to the forum. I've found this to be a lifesaver at times when the frustration with 'island time' begins to be too much to handle and deal with. I'm getting married May 2009 at Moon Palace Resort in Cancun and while this resort is quite large, they do have a new, more intimate side of the resort called Moon Grand. You may want to check this out if you are still in the process of determining where you want to get married. I've heard nothing but good things about the Moon Grand side of the resort - so check it out (lots of pictures on Trip Advisor if you search for Moon Palace Grand or some combination of the words. Moon Palace is owned by Palace resorts - the website is: Palace Resorts - Welcome to the Official Site. Good luck with all your wedding planning! Camie Dallas, TX

Congratulations and welcome to the forum. This forum is a great place to share information, ideas, and experiences. I was also able to load the Azul thread so I am not sure what is preventing you from opening it. Anyway, good luck with all your wedding planning!

Q: I've seen a few photos taken in the chapel with white slip covers placed over the pews. How much does this option run? A: We do not offer that option. Those are the covers that protect the pews. Q: I've also noticed in photos that the couple tends to stand behind the altar. May we opt to have the minister stand behind the altar and us in front, as is traditional? A: Yes, we usually place the couple like that to catch the ocean on their backs, but it is up to you. Q: Would having candles on the altar in lieu of floral arrangements present any kind of problems? Is there a price listing for rentable glass hurricanes? Decorative river rocks and/or sea glass? Pillar candles? A: No, if you have a picture I can send you a quotation Q: We would like to skip the red carpet down the aisle and sprinkle the area with rose petals instead. Is this an option? If so, is there a price structure for this? Approximate number of bags of petals used? Length of the aisle? Is there a policy pertaining to use of silk vs. real petals? A: We cannot use silk petals because of environmental policies. Real rose petals cost around $40.00USD each bag and you will need approximately 6 bags and it won't look full. Q: While using the CD player to play the ceremony music, would someone be available to press play/switch songs? A: Yes, we do have a person in charge. It is important to bring the CD in advance and write down the track numbers for each part. Hope this helps with some of the outstanding questions... Thank you so much for sharing this, it was incredibly helpful. Quick question - are you bringing a CD player or does Moon Palace provide one?

One last post for today... A read a post somewhere during my 5+ hours of catching up regarding tipping and what the rules of engagement are. I did not see a reply to that question and I found an old article that I had bookmarked from theknot.com that may be helpful so I thought I would share. I believe its intent was for US weddings, however, it should give you a starting point of what to consider. Planning: Wedding Vendor-Tipping Cheat Sheet

Hello Everyone, Just a quick post to introduce myself. My name is Camie and my fiance, Pete, and I are getting married on May 2, 2009. We arrive on 04/29 and depart on 05/05. I've just spent the past 5+ hours reading all 102 pages of this thread and I'm thankful for all the information provided between members, yet frustrated to find that there are some who have a wedding date following ours yet have been assigned an onsite WC. I've been asking for an onsite WC for awhile now and Yudelka (Miami) will not budge. I'm taking the advice of everyone here and am going to start sending her all my questions in bunches to annoy her and hopefully she will move me to the onsite WC. Anyway, I must now carefully craft my first 'persist yet not harsh' email to Yudelka which will hopefully lead to my onsite WC. Thanks to all for all the helpful information! Camie
