20thvowrenewkim

We had stayed at MP for our 10th anniversary,15th anniv. at Aventura Spa Palace and chose MP to renew our vows for our 20th. I read many forums on weddings at Palace Resorts and there were pros and cons, but for our experience overall it was wonderful. Our Miami coordinator, Marlyn Toban, answered emails and calls promptly, very helpful. We had an issue with our check in, that she was able to clear up quickly. She worked with us getting last minute room bookings taken care of, which was great! Our onsite wedding coordinator was Claudia Fonseca, everything she took care of personally was fantastic, from the details of the ceremony to staying with us through the ceremony and cocktail reception...I cannot say enough about her attention to detail. The Resort was amazing just like we remembered, with so many restaurant choices, you never run out of things to try. My husband loved the roast duck at La Manglar ten years ago and he got to try it again on this trip. We lounged at the countless pools, Carlos at the Nizuc pool was fantastico always with a cold drink for us and making sure our Carlos, (Charley) had a snack after all that swimming and we loved the swing up bar at the Sunset side pool. Our room in the Nizuc section was spotless and always had plenty of juice boxes for our 4 year old son. With our room, we overlooked the ocean and one of the wedding gazebos, just beautiful. The day before our vow renewal my husband and I enjoyed massages at the Nizuc spa, Christina and Elizabeth were so relaxing...the day of the ceremony, Doris at the Nizuc salon did such a wonderful job with my hair and makeup..she even applied my full set of eyelashes for me. The ceremony was perfect, with gorgeous weather and an air conditioned gazebo, Charley walked me down the aisle and was Daddy's best man. Our reception was in the Aqua ballroom next to Mitas jewelry store in the Nizuc lobby. Again, Claudia was there to make sure everything was just how we wanted it. We stayed mostly at the resort for our 9 day trip. We did go to Wet and Wild one day and do the dolphinarius experience. In all our trips to Cancun, this was the first time we swam with the dolphins and it was amazing, I enjoyed it just a much as Charley did! The other outing we did was our last night out we did the Captain Hook Pirate Dinner Cruise. We had gone on it 10 years ago and loved it. Our son who loves anything pirates said it was one of his favorite things he did in Mexico. I think Charley loves Moon Palace and Cancun as much as Mommy and Daddy does. Thank you so very much...

Our date is 7-13, so not to far from yours, she sent our welcome info then the next week said "let's start planning" So your time is coming soon!!!

For all of you Complementary Brides at Moon Palace, I am looking for examples of timelines..such as day before you did your dinner reservation up to 35 guests, after ceremony you did your cocktail party..I am trying to get an idea of when to do what?!? Thanks for your help!

I am in the same boat as you...we maybe if we are lucky will have 5-10 guests, so to have a huge ballroom for just that many guests seem ridiculous...My thing I am curious about is the cocktail party, do they provide music? can we bust a move if we want?

So from those of you that have had your cocktail party...we are only having maybe 10 people coming to our ceremony so we are looking at using our cocktail party as our reception. Is there music, could there be dancing? Where do they have the cocktail parties?

So, I am probably not going to reach any room night levels of freebies with my vow renewal this July at Moon Palace...when that is the case, how much do they charge for a private function(reception) after the ceremony? Can I count our room nights toward our room night totals? Inquiring minds want to know!

Betsy...I think there are a lot of us sitting on the edge of our seat waiting to see the resort photographers pics...thanks for sharing!

Having a symbolic complementary vow renewal at MP for my 20th anniv on 7-13-11. With the symbolic complementary package what is included as far as photography, receptions, dinners.. We will probably end up with 15 guests staying 7 days...

Hey Vgirl! My husband and I are celebrating our 20th anniversary doing a complimentary vow renewal package at Moon Palace July 13th, 2011. Thank you soo much for the fantastic review!
