They kind of do bare minimum. My wedding is in NOV 2010 and I decided to hire a photographer who has done a lot of DW. His name is Preston Davis and he gave me such an awesome deal bc it was a DW. I am recommending him to all my freinds getting married.. His creativity is breathless.... Here is his website DIVINE ORDER PHOTOGRAPHY. Oakland - San Francisco - Destination Wedding Photography If you have any questions PM me... I hope this helps

I am getting married Nov 14th Moon Palace Cancun Check List So Far Hotel booked Dress just came in Bridesmaids ordered Save The Dates mailed out. I got them off magnetqueen.com quick and easy.. Invitations trying to finalize Photographer Booked http://www.divineorderphotography.com/ I absolutely love his work so creative. I know previous brides who booked him, I thought I wouldn't be able to afford him. But he gave me an amazing deal for a DW... I was shocked Videographer not sure yet DJ whoever the resort uses

I really liked her review very detailed but to the point. This forum has been so helpful I don't know what I would've done without it. Its relieved so much stress.

Here are a list of my questions and answers from the WC I hope this helps.... 1. Can my wedding qualify for the 1500 Vacation dollar promotion? This promotion will be replacing the Passport Promotion and other promotions to add additional benefits for the guests. 2.Does the bride and grooms room count towards my 25 group bookings or is it bride and groom plus 25 bookings? Yes, the room and room nights count. WC Answer: No, we do not need a new contract. All reservations are being converted to the new promotion. 3.Are round trip airport transfers included? The wedding groups receive a discounted rate for the transfers. They are $10.00 round trip, per person. To book the transfers: You may complete the transfer reservations in two ways: 1. Online at: http://www.palaceresorts.com/BookOnline.asp Click on: ** REQUEST TRANSFERS** 2. Write an email to the address below, including reservation number and flight information

I have the Diamond Package info from my WC. PM me your email if you want to take a look

I love the review... Thank you for all the details and it was easy to follow. You did a great job, and I think your wedding was beautiful.. Congrats

The beach really isn't as bad as people make out, the tractor goes up and down a few times a day, if we had the budget at this stage, i'd change to a beach setup! Wedding co-ordinator Lily has been fab...we were booked for the Bug..gazebo and terrace, but we preferred the tucan once we saw them, and she changed no bother. We have also managed to get a gorgeous terrace area right outside our room (moon grand) right on the beach - couldn't ask for more! The food is crazy amazing - we have been having room service during the day, cheese burgers are soo good - coming from a girl who only eats mcd's burgers generally thats a big deal! Breakfasts in bed - pancakes...and they have these hash browns with cheese in them...OMG...i did intent on eating fruit all week but its just been too hard...hope the dress still fits! Miami Vice cocktails are soo yummy....we had our rehearsal dinner at the arceffices (spelling sorry, i'm too chilled to do a search for correct spelling) and it was sooo good - everyone tried bits of everything, I stuck to the chicken which was AMAZING and i'd happily go there every night for dinner! Occupancy isn't very high, so we're getting spoilt rotten...spending time at nicuz and moon grand...padded sunloungers are the way to go! staff couldn't do anything more for us...we are moving to le blanc on saturday and i'm actually really sad about it....moon palace rocks! Congrats Mrs. D... I cant wait for the review. I am happy everything is going smoothly for u and hubby.

They can go by either, depending if you have a lot of people coming or people staying for a long time. It is definitely worth it to pay for the extra rooms if you are that close! That is a great idea on the rehearsal lunch. We are thinking of a welcome reception on Thursday since most guests will be in that day and then rehearsal for only wedding party and family on Friday and of course reception on Saturday. However that could all change, just ideas for now. I also want a plated dinner at least the rehearsal dinner. However I am concerned with group size at a restuarant for the dinner. Lunch may be more accommodating as the some of the ala carte restuarant are open yet for everyone, however, I don't know if that means they open it for a private party. I also just noticed there is a surcharge for terraces that do not have elevator access? Weird. I have heard they are flexible with the menus. I want to switch out desserts for people who don't care for wedding cake. I was just wondering how do you know about the surcharges, menus, and ect. my wc hasn't given me anything....FYI I think the plated dinner for the rehearsal dinner is a great idea, and then a buffet for the reception....

So the old one doesn't exist anymore.

Quote: Originally Posted by asbarret i think i will have at least 25 people, but not 25 ROOMS. still worried because the website says that booking through a TA means you dont get squat. i dont even want to email my WC about it, becuase i dont want to hear any bad news. hmph I think you should email her bc they obviously need business

Quote: Originally Posted by alison15 Do you know how many you are expecting? If my calculations are right, we will be over the 25 rooms so I don't believe we will get it. In my contract it had the Passport promotion though so I hope everyone still gets at least that. My TA (who is also my FMIL) is in Fiji on vacation so I have to wait until she get back so she can check on this. I am also concerned if they decide to stop it just before my wedding. It would be great to have that much credit toward golfing or spa. I just sent the WC an emailing asking that question bc I think I will be over 25 rooms booked too. So as soon as she emails me back I will post it

I was worried I wouldn't get the new promotion since we signed the contract in Feb. So I emailed my WC and this is her response: 1. Can my wedding qualify for the 1500 Vacation dollar promotion? WC Answer: This promotion will be replacing the Passport Promotion and other promotions to add additional benefits for the guests.

Has anyone tried to change from palace resort passport savings to the new 1500 vacation dollars promotion. I wonder if they would offer that new promotion to us

I emailed you her address

Quote: Originally Posted by jo&delo2010 So I didnt know this and I dont think I have seen anyone post this information....but you can request rooms for your guests with no scenic views and it makes it a bit cheaper. I'm telling you all I have done everything to try and make it easier for the guests. Why I dont know...lol Yes you can get the resort view rooms. I think they are about $70.00 or so cheaper per night. Those are the rooms I reserved for my guest and left them the option to upgrade...

We went to cancun in October last year and fell in love, we stopped at riu palace last time tho but the moon palace just seemed more equipped for weddings! Everyone has booked separate now which is annoying that we don't get the freebies! Especially as more people start to book up but oh well We're getting married in a gazebo - i think i may have a choice? i'm not too sure! i think i've seen a review for one of the beach weddings, until that I didn't know that they did them! have you sorted all the colours and layout that you want? how did you know what restaurant to go with? I'm not the most organised so we decided on the diamond package because it included everything we'd want and it was easier - bad i know! My h2b is now coming around to my idea of maybe having a private reception there, he wanted to read through our contract earlier and start thinking about prices etc so that's a good start! has your WC been really helpful? i haven't had any interaction with anyone so far! apart from taking my payment and confirmation so I haven't done very much so far, i ordered my dress last saturday - thank god! it was a stress but once i ordered it i instantly felt relieved! i'm sure lemon will go really nice with the beautiful sunny mexican back drop! has your h2b decided what colour he's going for? we're just sorting our my h2b now as well as the bridesmaids so i'm happy we can start organising a few more things - i kinda put everthing on hold until my dress was done! the reception is booked for when we get back! are you having one? its prob going to cost more than the wedding (gulp!) but i think that it'll be worth it! and i'll get to wear my dress again! yipee! I just wrote a much more detailed reply however I lost it!! very frustrating!!x I am happy for you Kathryn190. My Wedding is Nov 14 at 3pm. I think I'm starting to stress out. The only things I have done so far is book the resort, get mt dress, and send out my save the dates. So we are kinda on the same page with our planning so far. Well Congrats happy planning.

IF you still have the code I plan on ordering from flyboy. Thanks I appreciate it..
