We got back on sunday our wedding was amazing Eugenia did a great job I will start to write a review xx

Leaving for gbp in the morning, after a nightmare my youngest comming down with chickenpox we have now got the all clear from the docters, I cant wait to get on the plane

Aww congrats

We are going to ask our guests to sign our guestbook at the poolside reception

When I first emailed Eugenia she took around 6 weeks to reply and said sorry she was really busy with weddings and did not get chance to get to a computer but as its getting closer she now emails within days

Thats ok and 18usd for corsage, it just depends on what flowers you like

Eugenia told me 35usd for bridesmaids 15usd for groomsmen and 10usd for bag of flower petals thats just having roses and bridal bouquet and grooms buttonhole is included

For people that used the resort spa or if your planning to use them did you email and book your bridal hairstyle before hand? I have had no response from them and with only 7 weeks till our wedding , I am getting worried I wont get the time I need I dont want to risk booking when I get there incase they cant fit me in plus my 6 bridesmaids

Hi everyone, My birthday is the second week of our stay and I would like to book one of the a la cartes for my group does anyone have the email to request this and does anyone have a list of the ones we can book at? Thanks in advance

Hi girls Its my first post is these great forum! To start i just want to congratulate all the brides and married girls and wish you all the best! I am from Portugal, and i am going to married in GranBahiaPrincipe Tulum in July 2013, i am very excited but i feel that i still have everything to decide and i will sure need your precisous help. I am thinking of choosing the mayan ceremony. Does anyone have pics of these ceremony that can share? Is it with a true shaman? Does it fit with the gazebo space? Other questions is about wedding shoes. At these point i need to buy the shoes in order to made the adjust in my wedding dress. I love high heels, but maybe some flat sandals are the wiser choice. Whats were your choices girls? Its easy to walk on the beach with a long dress. Thank you! Big hug and kisses ********* Sofia

Please remind her, I'm pretty sure is what she meant.

Thankyou, I asked Eugenia if I could have our first dance on the beach after the ceremony and she replied with this YES No problem =)  Just please remember me while signing the contract here in Mexico  Regards!  *Eugenia Palacios* Does any one know what she would mean about remembering her when signing the contract im confused ha ha

Wedding music How many songs are you all having for the ceremony so far ive got 4 not sure if this is en ough

$720 just for the booze for 3 hours???

Hi, If you don't mind me asking is the poolside reception a lot? My fiance is keen on arranging something like that but the whole purpose for us to do our wedding away was to save money. We are only a group of 20 and I thought we could probably just find one of the bars/nightclubs we liked to go to afterwards and have drink on our all inclusive. We will actually probably see you as we get married on the 9th. We leave on the 16th but obviously you'll be there before. lol x

Exlcuding money needed for wedding payments we will take £1000 GBP. 

Xel-Ha, is an amazing attractions in Cancun, Riviera Maya  considered the largest aquarium in the world, the perfect place to perform activities in Riviera Maya. If you love nature, there is no better place than Xel-Ha to practice snorkeling and water activities like swimming with dolphins, Snuba® (combination of snorkeling and diving) or Sea Trek® (walking under water).    We go each time we visit Mexico as it is a great day out - its an all inclusive price and great value Buy tickets online and save some pennies http://www.xelha.com/   its not far in a taxi from the hotel  your children will love it too.

Xcaret Park is Mexico's sacred paradise. It is a beautiful place full of culture and nature where you can enjoy amazingaquatic activities, cultural attractions, shows andarchaeological sites. A space filled with the natural beauty of the Caribbean Sea and the magic of a thousand-year-old civilization. The perfect place to know the best of México its history and traditions, where you and your family will enjoy the best experiences. At Xcaret you will find more than 40 attractions of nature and culture such as a Butterfly pavilion, with native butterflies of the Yucatan Peninsula in their natural habitat, a unique Coral Reef Aquarium; an authenticMexican Cemeterybuilt cone-shaped with seven levels and 365 different tombs, ahenequen hacienda in which interior you will find theMuseum of Popular Mexican Art which exposes the ingenious work of Mexican artisans.  Again buy tickets online and taxi from the hotel.  

A day trip to Play del Carmen is fun

 

Coco Bongos - there is one in Playa Del Carman and it is just as good as Cancun with the bonus of being closer to the hotel

 

The guys may want to go to Cancun and drive the speedboats James Bond style through the mangroves, its 2 people to each boat with a guide then you go snorkelling on the reef.  Its a brilliant trip and we all laughed so much.  

Drive your own speed boat for 45 minutes through the mangrove channel  to the world's 2nd largest reef. Watch for wildlife along the way, birds, and of course do a bit of sightseeing while experiencing the freedom of your speedboat.

At the reef, enjoy the wonder of snorkeling with beautiful tropical fish for about 45 minutes. Then hop back in your speedboat for a zippy ride back through the mangroves to the marina.   http://www.cancun-discounts.com/cancun-jungle-tour.htm

 

Enjoy your planning.

A year ago we went to Xcaret with my 6 month old and 10 year old.  The 6 month old didn't see much.. hahah but it was fun.  It's like a zoo/beach/recreational park at the same time.  We really enjoyed it.  If you feel at all adventurous you can go by collectivo instead of taking the whole tour.  We liked the fact that we could come back whenever we wanted which was around 3 pm.  We also bought our tickets in advance from their website and it was something like 10% cheaper. We also went to playa del carmen via collectivo, had a great day, walked up to Cafe Celine and had a lemonade.  Everyone is so nice with kids!  It was refreshing!

How much spending money are you all planing on bringing for non wedding things just working on a budget, ive got two boys aged 5 and 2 and looking for something to do our second week as it will be my birthday can anyone recommend any trips that are family friendly, The first week me and the girls are hoping to go to coco bongo and the men are looking to do a trip together

Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee   after trying for the last hour and being on hold for so long I have been able to get through to and talk with Eugenia - godness knows what the phone bill will be like as calling from Scotland. I feel much more relaxed and this information she gave me will help and hopefully make both you ladies relax too. . . . .   The Bahia are continually putting brides mind at ease regarding the confusion Travel Agents cause by giving FALSE information regarding having to get birth and divorce documents translated and legalised. There is NO requirement for any of the groom's documents to be translated or legalised this applies whether he HAS or HAS NOT  been married before. If the bride has been married before and has reverted back to her maiden name, provided this is the name she travels on and is the name that is on her passport again there is NO requirement for any of the bride's documents to be translated or legalised The only time translation and legalistion is required is when a bride has divorced but kept her married name (Ive never heard of anyone doing this) Hope you breathe the sigh of relief that I did.

It depends if your group is more than 30 people.  More than 30, you get one choice, less than 30 you get two choices off the menu and you have to decide in advance.

Hi Tammy, I got ahold of them in the end. We got our menus too. Was it you who said that you are having the reception at frutos del mar? We just weren't clear if we had to pick the meal or if our guests can just from the menu we got once we select the restaurant. Let me know if you know.x

Hi,

Our wedding is on 9th May so a bit before yours I think. I'm glad to hear that you don't need translation. Was just a bit worried as have had some issues with FC. Have you heard back from your WC? Ours is Eugenia and still nothing - am very annoyed to be honest. I know that they have a lot of weddings etc but it is very close

Hi Tammy We are in Scotland and both are divorced, due to get married on 20 June this year.  I have had a nightmare about getting info about this I have continually asked Eugina about this as First Choice told us we DID need to get all our documents translated and legalised however when Eugina has replied she has sent me different details about this so I am still no futher forward. I believe if the Bride or Groom have NOT been married before there is no need for translation.     Even more money for us divorcee's!!

Thankyou I will get a garment bag then
