Hi, I am faced with the same problem. I would love to ship a box with welcome bags and other misc decor,down next month because I feel like I am bringing so much with me. If anyone has any advice, please let me know. Thanks!

No problem, I just sent it to you. Good luck in your planning.

Thank you so much!!! I appreciate it. Good luck with all your planning.

Has anyone done a private charter for a welcome dinner or rehearsal dinner? If so, please email who you hired or any information at all. I'm interested in seeing if this would work for our wedding in May. Thanks so much everyone!

No problem!

Hi, I am getting married at the Melia in May of this year. Skype is the way to communicate with Vanessa, I am able to get so much information and accomplished with her through Skype. If you want to send me your email address, I can pass along everything that the Melia has given me to help you decide. (I've got a ton of info that she's given me) As far as plated meals, it depends on what package you are thinking of going with. We went for the fairy tale package (we have about 40-50 guests) and its $45.00 extra per person. (The package only includes up to 24 people) We also went with the garden terrace because it was the most private, we actually went down there before booked and it was a great resort. Good Luck!

I just received my proposal, sorry I cannot tell you a time frame because I had submmitted my questionnaire back when Cecilia was the wedding coordinator! Its very detailed and easy to follow. Vanessa did mention that the Melia is super busy with weddings over the next couple of months. When did you send your questionnaire in? As for the responses, it does take a little while, but I've had a couple of meetings with her on the phone (and we're talking like two hour meetings) and everything that I've emailed her was addressed in our meetings. So, she does make a note of everything you email her, I just think she likes to address everything at one time. I am sure she will respond to you soon! Good luck with your wedding planning!

Hi Stephanie, Â I've been reading everyone's threads lately as I am also getting married at the Melia next May. I had Cecilia as a wedding coordinator and to start off with and now have Vanessa. I will say Vanessa hasn't been as timely with her emails as Cecilia but I've talked with Vanessa on the phone. After reading your reply, I feel better about how my plans are progressing. What I've noticed is that Vanessa does get back with me, its just not nearly as fast as Cecilia. Nonetheless, I have full confidence in the Melia to make my wedding as special as possible. Â I look forward to more threads!
