    We charged all of our wedding expenses to our credit card, including all of the spa services that we used. They just add any spa services to your room bill. They are pretty eager to get their money for the wedding. They want you to pay on the day of your wedding. After the meeting with the WC where you make all of your final decisions about flowers, etc. they will provide you with a complete list detailing the amount for you to confirm before you go to pay.

     

    When they charge your credit card it is all done in Pesos and is coverted by your credit card company. Also, the resort does not cash US travellers cheques for US cash, they will only give you Pesos which was a pain in the a**. For that reason I would encourage taking more cash than travellers cheques (although you can exchange for US in Playa del Carmen). We ended up getting stuck with a bunch of US travellers cheques.

     

    Hope this helps you out! Let me know if I can answer anything else.

    The items that must be paid in cash are the DJ, the musicians if you're hiring some, and the blood test. Everything else except the $300 fee to the photo shop for not using them is charged to your room in pesos as ryan's girl mentions above. The spa fee can also be charged to your room. The fee to the photo shop can be paid by credit card.

We just got a quote today to have our birth certificates and my divorce decree translated from a company and it was $310!!! A bit more then we were figuring on! Do we HAVE to have these translated? Also, it's my understanding that we have to have an Apostille from the states of our documents too. Just want to make sure this is all necessary before we put out this unexpected chunk of money!!! Thanks bunches!!

    HAPPY LEGAL DAY BESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Hey FutureBotter - We got married at the Maya and I was really worried about this exact thing. We did not have to get our docs translated. My DH is divorced so we had birth certificates and a divorce decree, none of which we got translated and everything was fine! We did get Apostilles for all of them just in case, but I'm not sure that it was necessary. Hope this helps!

    Hey girls!!

     

    It has been forever since I've posted because the wedding stuff has kept me so busy!! We spent 15 days in Mexico, then came home for our AHR which was on Saturday. Now everything is over and no more planning :)

     

    Anyway, I want to let you all know that our wedding at the Maya was PERFECTO! I would not have changed a thing. Lily was absolutely amazing.

     

    I will post a review soon. Congratulations to all the June brides, and July brides, believe me, everything will be fabulous!!!

    I was hoping some of you that have recently gotten married could help me out with a question about paying the vendors?

     

    We still owe a final payment for our videographer and photog. However, they want cash. I asked if we could pay in USD traveler's checks, and they are nervous because their bank won't accept them unless the signatures match exactly. So I have to also provide a copy of my ID. I completely understand that they need to get paid, but it makes me a little nervous to be handing out copies of my ID too. It also makes me nervous to carry a bunch of cash around.

     

    The other thing I can do is pay the final payment via PayPal before we leave, but I'd rather give the final payment when they show up.

     

    What have you girls done? Any suggestions?

     

    Thanks!

    We are using an outside vendor, Cancun Wedding Photography. So far, they have been great.

    It is! Well Rae is my middle name. That is so funny LOL. My parents are both from Texas, I always thought it was a Southern name. I have to say your are the first Kimberly Rae I've met!

    This is too funny. A couple days ago I found out another BDW bride is going to be on my flight to Cancun in a couple weeks, and now there's another one with the same name as me! This forum is the best.

So we are throwing are last hail mary and telling them we want the wedding at the grand now HAHAHA and we are gonna have 5 kids there (this should be good), ohhh and if that wasn't enough they can f-off on daypass charges and we want a discount! Like I said I can careless either way I just want to get married on may 16 i don't care if it's in mexico or the county courthouse down the street... And the real kicker is I ain't even stressed anymore *i think i finally cracked* I was more stressed for the 2 years it took me to plan all this than the 2 weeks it took for all this b.s to come apart (is that crazy maybe i need some couch time anyone know a good shrink? LOL)

    As for reyna, she finally called my ta back and actually all the managers and herself are bending over backwards to accomodate us. kinda nice for once! Just as much as they have us by the balls we got them too (since they are dying for any and all business).

    so if any of you have any info on the GRAND or LINDO or MAYA... Once, again if you could please shoot it my way at [email protected] I will love you long time round eye!

    I just sent everything I have on the Lindo/Maya to all of you. There may be some new stuff in there for you!
