Hi VegasBride0511,

Great to connect with you on here .  Definitely a lack of LV brides on here at the mo.

We love Planet Hollywood! Congrats on choosing it for your wedding !  The only reason I hadn't considered it in the running is that I have contacted them 3 times via email and no-one has ever bothered getting back to me.  Do you have an email address for a WC perhaps?

What are their rates like?

Hi everyone !

We are super excited about our upcoming nuptials on 11-11-11.

We were/are looking at Cancun and the Dominican, but due to language barriers and a few let downs, we are looking at going back to our first love/idea - LAS VEGAS!  We have been to Vegas 6-7 times over the past two years and we LOVE it .

We are a super modern couple, both successful in entertainment and media.  Thus, we both love glitz and glam, so we want our wedding to be a proper wedding with an edge.  Sexy, chic, modern, old Hollywood with an antique gothic look.  Blacks, royal purples and touches of red.

We are looking at the Hard Rock Hotel's "Rock & Roll" themed wedding http://www.hardrockhotel.com/gather/weddings and also at the new Rumor Boutique Resort's wedding packages http://www.rumorvegas.com/weddings/.

We have not been to either of these hotels (we have stayed at Vdara, Monte Carlo, Wynn, Luxor, Paris and NYNY) so am wanting some advice from people that have been and especially those of you who have been married at either of these locations.

Photos would be so appreciated !!

Thanks in advance - so looking forward to our special day and connect with all of you gorgeous brides on here :) !

Thank you soooooooooo much for the reviews Brenners.  My fiance and I SO appreciate it.

We were extremely keen on ME by Melia, but after lots of back and fourth communication with the WC and the reviews I have read (yours being the most recent) I think we are going to scratch it off the list.  

The WC was great at first and very helpful, but as my partner is in the public eye, we had a lot of special requests for media and photographers and the guests we are flying in from around the world.  The WC took a long time to reply each time and due to my vocation, I am not always near the internet. Thus when I took a few days to reply, she seemed to get annoyed. Very hypocritical and off-putting.

The icing on the cake was her telling me the entire time that our date 11-11-11 was available and then all of a sudden, she said it had been booked and I could "have the 12th".  Well, if she has ever dealt with a bride, she would know that a gal simply can't just "change her date".

We are now looking at your recommendation of 'Ceiba del Mar Beach and Spa Resort', it sounds fantastic and looks gorgeous online.  We'll definitely have to check out that one for a site visit.

All these hassles with Mexico, sub-standard WC's and the language barrier is starting to make me lean towards our original idea of getting married in Vegas.  Not a cheap drive-thur wedding, but a proper gorgeous glam one ...

Hmmmmmmmmmn

Yes, please let me know.  I would LOVE, LOVE to see pix too.  Can you let me know how they are to deal with?  Did you do a site visit first??

I am excited already, as you can tell, lol .

P.S. I am so excited for you - Feb 7th is just around the corner!

Hi hun,

How did your wedding go at Melia??!  I would LOVE to see pix as we are meant to be getting married there on 11-11-11

So far things have been great planning- a few hiccups but nothing horrible. If you want you can email my friend she is a ME wedding coordinator Cristiane (she goes by Cris) at [email protected] and tell her Megan sent you her info for more specific info. She typically responds a bit slowly but
two three days. I also have a toll free direct number you can call from the US 1-866-640-9686 (let it ring a few times-it can be frustrating-but i swear ultimately you will get through- it just may take several attempts.

Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.

Please take pix and keep us posted hun .

We are hoping to do a site visit there next month also ...

Yes, the propsal at Disneyworld was gorgeous . I am originally from New Zealand and had wanted to go to Disneyworld ever since I was a little girl. I love Disney princesses and it was a dream come true to be proposed to under the fireworks at the wishing well in Cinderella's Castle. We both cried buckets and everyone clapped - it was so cute

 

We are both so excited to plan the wedding in MX!  We are just trying to find somewhere great to get our STD Boarding Pass magnets done ...

Use vistaprint!! follow this link: http://ebm.e.vistaprint.com/c/tag/hBMjgXCAZ5PEAB8Uoh3NrsXq-DY/[email protected] and you can get some for free. and you can use vistaprint.ca

And yes, I am a Flight Attendant and I can assure you that Mexico is very safe. Cancun is absolutely beautiful and just as safe as anywhere I've ever been

What is a good wedding website??  I loved wedsite but it's a lil pricey ...

I still haven't sent out our STDs yet.  I really want magnet Boarding Passes!!  

No replies for yacht or pirate ship charters as yet.  I think we may just go to Cancun in Jan or Feb and do some site visits and book everything that way.  Seems to be difficult to get replies

Absolutely STUNNING photos of a gorgeous and clearly very in love couple!  Great slideshow by Elizabeth Medina - makes me want to book her for our wedding in Cancun !

I loooooooooved the wedding cake idea and your TTD session was absolutely amazing.  You both look so blissfully happy, sexy and in the moment.  

CONGRATULATIONS again, makes me look forward to my day even more!

Hi gorgeous brides ,

We are also getting married on 11-11-11 in the Riviera Maya.  We are both extremely excited.  It's going to be a magical day!

At this stage we are looking at and have been negotiating with ME by Melia.  But if any of you have any recommendations, I'd be happy to hear them.

Thus far we are just at the early planning stages.  My groom has chosen his tux and I think I have found my dress, but nothing has been picked up or tried on as yet ... 

We are looking at getting married in a super trendy location such as ME and then cocktails at the venue and reception on a pirate ship or yacht

We are also looking at getting married at ME by Melia in Cancun (11-11-11).

ME looks fabulous!  We are looking for a very stylish and upmarket modern resort and I think ME has that feel for us.

Have you done a site visit yet?

Thank you !

CONGRATULATIONS to you also!

We are so excited!  I did't think I would have to start planning my wedding to soon either.  I am a "take it as it comes" kinda gal, so I thought I'd start planning around June ... but the date being so popular we've had to start planning now.

Congrats on choosing Jamaica as your destination - I bet your wedding will be gorgeous!

We are looking at Me by Melia and Dreams at this stage ...

Hello beautiful brides!

Myself and my gorgeous soul mate and future husband were recently engaged in August on my 30th birthday after a dream proposal at Disneyland! :)

We are so very excited to be getting married next year and we have just started planning for our wonderful day in Mexico.

If any of you have tips on where and where not to get married, have photos taken, photographers, decor, catering etc in the Riviera Maya / Cancun, please feel free to let us know.

Looking forward to all your wonderful tips and suggestions .

P.S. is there a thread on here with reviews/photos of couples who have got married at different destinations in Cancun??

GKGC xx Vancouver, BC, CANADA

We are also looking at ME Cancun for our 11-11-11 wedding .

Do you have pictures from you wedding that you can post?

I am also interested in ME by Melia for our wedding in Cancun in Nov 2011.

I would love to see pix from anyone who has gotten married there

I am also in Vancouver, BC !  And I am a newbie!
