We ended up selecting the Grand Marival for our wedding, as it was more fitting for our guests, but your location will be amazing! We don't depart until January 31 and have just begun the paperwork to ensure our marriage is legal. If you can offer *any* advice, it'd be so appreciated!
I'm sure things are a tad hectic, so if you're unable to reply, I completely understand. Have a WONDERFUL time - best of luck! Thanks for letting me know about the hotel. I am getting VERY excited and not very hectic to be honest....
so advice about the legalities... email your coordinator RIGHT AWAY... ask her if you have the right stuff but what i sent via courier $66 from Purolator well before the mandatory 15 days requested was:
4 witnesses passports (photocopies)
Wedding Application the coordinator sent to me
Bride and Groom passports (photocopies)
Bride and Groom birth certificates - notarized and translated - included the originals
The Coordinator emailed me when she received the documentation stating that although I had everything translated it has been changed and i would need to get it done in Mexico at their translator and would be charged when I arrive.
Needless to say that it was a bother to get it done here and I was very annoyed and frustrated. With a couple of emails back and forth she said she would try and figure out how to make it work out.
Turns out they changed it 2 weeks prior to them getting my documentation. My travel agent hadn't even heard of the change.....
I hope this helps you out for your destination but definitely make them confirm what you need to bring!
If you need anything else don't hesitate to contact me
