I too am having a hard time with finding a travel agent. I have heard good & bad about Liberty Travel but I guess it depends on who your agent is.

coconoir1908 would you mind sending me Liz's info please? Thanks!

We are using Liz from Liberty Travel/Gallery Market East.  My FI have used her for years so we decided to stay local!  If you want I will PM your info to her.

Here is my Alvina Valenta Bridal Gown! I tried on over a 100 dresses in over 6 months and thought I would never find the perfect dress.  I think I went to every bridal store in Colorado! lol I was starting to think something was wrong with me and that there was no perfect dress out there for me. I was about to settle on a dress but then I found THE ONE and I am so in love with it!!  The wait was definatley worth it and I can't wait for my first dress fitting!

 

 

Congratulation spaterson! Welcome, this forum is so helpful! Happy Planning!

Perry your dress is beautiful!! Perfect for the beach.

I keep looking at this forum & keep changing my mind on what style dress I want! Ugh! They are all gorgeous!

"Philly in the house" LOL!!

You girls are making me so excited to go dress shopping but I have told myself that I will wait until September just because I am so indecisive about everything its pathetic!! I am struggling with colors at the moment. I liked purple and lime green then one of my friends said they look like Barney colors so now I am thinking lime green and turquoise but my cousin used turquoise for her destination wedding back in 2008!! So I am so confused!! and oh the FI said pink is not an option LOL

 

 

I think using him during the rehearsal dinner is be a good idea!! I hope you are able to do that. Please keep us updated. I am looking into other photographers as well. The photo packages seem pretty pricey using Juan Navarro & I really don't need that many hard copies.

May is right around the corner!! Congrats! I hope everything is beautiful! Post pics!

Congrats fellow April2012 bride!

I have not started either. I am gonna wait like a month to try to lose some weight!

How exciting, I hope you find your perfect dress!

Is anyone concerned with having your blood drawn at the resort by some random doc?

I am a little nervous about this, I am sure it will be fine though...

Congratulations!!

Great, thanks for the info. I didn't want the sales women to think I was over excited starting super early! lol

I would like to lose my "winter weight" so I will probably wait a month or 2 as well!

Where are you getting married in April?

I see your from Philly...same here!

All these dresses are beautiful! You ladies are going to look so pretty!

I can't wait to start shopping!

Natalie, I don't think your dress is too much at all. It's beautiful & I am sure you will look amazing in it!

So we have changed the date from September 2012 to April 2012.

Thanks! Oh, I have used Apple Vacations a long time ago. Good idea! Thank you!

We actually just changed our date from September 2012 to April 2012.

I guess I should start the booking & planning soon.

That is an awesome idea for the save the date & invitations. I may have to steal this idea!

I'm not getting married until July 2012. We booked our recent trip through a local apple vacations travel agent and she was awesome. That was my 2nd time using apple vacations and I would highly recommend them.

 

Also, I'm going to do a boarding pass style save the date and I found the cutest passport style invitations.

Thanks & same to you. My friend stayed at Moon Palace 2 years ago & loved it!

Congratulations Ladies!!!

September 2012 in Mexico as well. Mexico is great!

Excellence Playa Mujeres this will be my third visit...3xs the charm! Cant wait to start all the planning. This site has so many great helpful ideas & recommendations.

Sorry, I am new to this site... Forgot to add I can't wait to hear about your wedding & how everything went. Post pics & if you recommend anything please let us know!

kdziadosz best of luck to you!!! How exciting! All of the pools are not heated. The main pool & Excellence pools are heated. Plus there are hot tubs all over. I hope you have great weather! Congrats & don't worry about a thing. If it does rain, its good luck!

Hi Ladies,

This site is so helpful! I have been reading the reviews for weeks now and my wedding will not be until Sept 2012!!!

I have vacationed at this resort in 2009 & 2010 and LOVE it. I used to travel to Sandal resorts until I came to EPM! Everything is so modern & beautiful here. If anyone has any questions about the resort let me know.

I was wondering when everyone sent out their save the dates or did you just skip that & send out invites? I do have plenty of time but was wondering what you do for destination weddings.

Also, I have not booked anything because again I have time but I want to do it soon so I can give it to Yamina & save my date at EPM. Does anyone have a trustworthy travel agent that they used & would recommend? I am from PA but I plan on doing it all online or over the phone.

Congrats to all the new brides & soon to be brides and thanks for the helpful reads!
