A lot of you have mentioned these open air grills for the dinner are they considered an option if we are not doing our reception on the beach? We are going with the sea breeze package( I think) so our meal is supposed to happen in a ball room I wonder If I can use a grill instead?

Do you know if you can still add extra things to the ceremony if it is legal, such as a sand ceremony and have your own vows? Thanks! THanks! I will maybe email my coordiantor asking her to check with Gabriella.

SO I guess my mistake was mentioning it in the first place to the WC darn it! I have been given the resounding no on bringing anyone in from Cancun, we don't want our budget to get out of hand by flying someone in and paying them to stay a week; so I have not asked about that..... I wish we could though. Our wedding coordiantor takes a week to get back to us. Last week I resent my email after not hearing from her in 7 days and she sent one back the next day apologising and saying the resort had been super busy with weddings last week.

My WC sent me an email last night saying that the rules have changed and they do not allow outside photogrpahers in even on a day pass. I wonder if the Tropicals rules differ from the palace rules because the palace is higher end? Or is it just every wc interprets the rules differently? ( i double posted this in another Barcelo thread but think this one is more popular) Other then this photogrpahy issue and the amount of time it takes them to answer back we have been pretty pumped about the Barcelo
