Hey Girl! Make sure to scope out the "MLD Brides" thread. There is TONS of info there about Melia Las Dunas Cayo Santa Maria. Also, scope out my review (bottom of siggy) we were there for two weeks, so I have quite a bit of info on there.

Lovely ladies, please give my Review (below siggy) a read. It talks a TON about the specifics of the week / planning and big day. Including lots of info on the photog and videographer.
Also, definitely join the Melia Las Dunas Brides facebook group. It's SUPER helpful and has lots of reviews also. (Not to mentioned THOUSANDS of pictures)

Ask away ladies, I'm more than happy to help!
Also, make sure to ask Melissa (MLD Canada rep) anything and everything you might be worried about. She is an amazing resource.

Wow.
For anyone and EVERYONE that has every considered going to Cuba:
It is beautiful. The people are amazing. Don't trust every piece of propaganda... Just read the reviews, and don't act like an asshole-- a safe principal when travelling to ANY foreign territory. It's EXACTLY the same idea as travelling to Mexico. Seriously -
Desties!! I love it!!!

Two weeks! DH and I actually went a week BEFORE everyone else came down for the wedding, and it was PERFECT. We travelled through the country, planned the wedding, spent some amazing quality time together... it was a fantastic way to get ready for the week.

American citizens can fly through Canada to Cuba, and the Cuban Officials don't sign their passport. I have met quite a few Americans (while on vacay in Cuba) that did it this way. However, flying straight from the states (unless you are a Cuban citizen now-- thank you Obama!) is out of the question.
When in doubt, contact the Cuban consulate.

There is both a microphone and sound system that will be hooked up for the gazebo (I'm assuming you mean the new beach one?) You will need to mention your idea to the WC, of course, but I'm certain that they can accomodate you. Virg got married at the new gazebo (the week it debuted, woop woop) so I'm sure you can PM her for more info.
The officiant will not ask if he gives you away, but you can have a "ceremony script" written up, and the WC will say anything that the officiant normally won't. The officiant only does the civil ceremony. Amarillis (Amy) posted an amazing thread that details her cermony, and also the legal ceremony on its own. Definitely check it out. -
Hey girls-- just poking in to creep as usual. lol
Karen-- LOVE LOVE LOVE the bands! They are amazing!

Aww, Sara I'm so, so sorry to hear about the name issue! WTF!? That's crazy, they pour over the passports before the notary gets the papers-- how is it possible it was spelt wrong. (I would mention this to your WC or the resort and see if there is anything that they can do, or if they can contact the notary-- I assume they will do something to make sure you go away happy)
Good Luck! Keep us updated. Hang in there girl, you'll get your name soon.

Erin, if you decide not to bring your own professional photog DEFINITELY consider using one of the resort photographers. I did a bit of research and found out that Alfredo was my favorite (he did ours). He cots $100 cuc + $5 cuc for the full DVD of ALL of the photos he did.
And, as I mentioned in my review, he did our TTD the next day too. He is AMAZING and he costs next to nothing. Definitely preferable to having a family member do it, so that they can all enjoy the wedding, too, and not have to worry about getting the "perfect shot".
If you are looking for a great wedding photog that can come down at a reasonable price-- check out Josh Brown's photography. He is one of the vendors on this site, and does AMAZING work!!
