PickyBride2013

I am really interested in the details about the Churro cart. Can you please provide me with details. Thank you Kelsey

My Apologies Danielle for not getting back to you sooner about the wedding locations. Both Ana y Jose and Al Cielo are beautiful locations and both have great food. I would say that if you are a foodie, that that food at Al Cielo is more gourmet and amazing! It was a tough decision between the two locations but either way I think that they both would be nice. If you private message me, I will be more than happy to share details and pictures from both Al Cielo and Ana y Jose. I agree with the majority of our cons and do think that the pros out weigh the cons. Again sorry for the delayed response, life has been busy and I have put the wedding planning down for a bit. Kelsey

Hey I am planning on getting married there December 1, 2013. I also had a really hard time finding information and pictures. We are dealing with Claudia, and have yet to get a formal quote, which is slightly concerning. Have you done much planning yet? What other locations are you deciding between? Happy planning Kelsey

Hi Ladies, So after researching.... more researching and more researching, we have decided to get married at Ana y Jose Beach Club on December 1, 2013, Any one get married there? Getting Excited!

Hi You did a fantastic job! I was wondering where you got the Canadian Code of Arms Symbol. I have completed my template and I just really need to Canadian Arms to finish the job off. I would really appreciate your help!

Hi Ladies, I am trying to decide between Al Cielo and Ana y Jose beach Club for our wedding. We are planning on staying at Barcelo Maya Palace Deluxe. Both places look great and each have a set of pros and cons. I would love to hear everyone's thoughts and if their was anyone else getting married there this year. My thoughts: Al Cielo Pros - close to the Barcelo (10mins) - beautiful beach - everyone has had amazing food reviews Cons - can't have dinner on the beach - no trees on the beach Ana y Jose Pros - beautiful tree on the beach for the ceremony to be around - awesome grape trees to have your reception under - lounge furniture on the beach already - beautiful beach - everyone has had amazing food reviews Cons - far from the Barcelo (45-60 mins) - food reviews okay (but I have been there and it was tasty) I would love to here some comments!

Ladies, I have emailed the Bacelo 2x in the last two weeks to get information about the wedding packages etc and see what they had available in November 2013. Does anyone have a WC email address, so I can email them directly. Every other resort I have emailed has responded in a timely manner. Thanks ladies.

thanks Lynda, thats awesome! If you were to replace the Secrets and Excellence Riviera Cancun recommendations with child friendly resorts, what would be your next two picks? We have a few little ones in the family:)

Hi Everyone, In my endless research on trying to decide on a resort, I have came across many wedding pictures that are awesome. When I look at the pictures I think either that bride did a million DIY projects, or they hired a professional. I am not sure if the professional was just the resort coordinator or if these brides hired a wedding coordinator not affiliated with the resort. So my question is.... Would you recommend hiring an outside wedding coordinator or just utilize the resort coordinator?? I would love everyone's thoughts and recommendations. Thank you in advance.

Thanks Lynda for your words of encouragement! Does the team at MTM have any favourite all-inclusive resorts? and pictures of recent weddings?

That sounds great. Can't wait to see the pics.

Congrats on your wedding going awesome. I was wondering if you could post some pictures or send them to me in a private message. Where was your wedding location? What resort did you stay at (ie, grand, lindo or maya?). How was the overall food for your wedding and in general at the resort? Thanks

Hi Ladies, Thank you so much for your comments, they are truly appreciated. We do have a travel agent that we are working with and right now we are deciding between the following results: Azul Beach or Azul Fives - Pros: food will be great, small so no guest will be overwhelmed with the size, beach looks nice and you don't have to make reservations for dinner. Cons: resorts look a little plain and not very tropical (not as good for photos, and resorts doesn't look that exciting for kids. Iberstar Parisido (Beach, maya, grand, or lindo) - Pros: beach looks nice, the resorts looks awesome. Cons: wedding might not be very intimate and I am very concerned about the food, as most people would not being staying at the grand. Barcelo Maya Deluxe: Pros: the resorts looks awesome. Cons: wedding might not be very intimate, not sure about the food, and I am not sure about the beach. Dreams Puerto Aventuras: Pros: I think the food should be good, dolphin swim would be good for people with kids, small and intimate. Cons: Heard mixed reviews. I would loved to see pictures are hear people's thoughts about these resorts. Thank you

Hi Grisell, Are you able to rent the curtains from you? If so how much?

I am considering getting married at the Grand Paraiso, but lost of my family would be staying at the other resorts. Do you know if kids are allowed at the grand for a wedding, given that it is an adult only resort. Also, does anyone know if the beach ceremony is off to the side and a little more private? Thanks.

Congrats on the engagement. I couldn't agree with you more about being overwhelmed on choosing a resort. Are you having a kids at the wedding? Lets keep in touch!

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the site and I am very excited to hear everyone's opinions and thoughts. FI and I got engaged in October at the Secrets Maroma, which I must say is really nice and exudes romance. The food was excellent. The only thing we have decided on is a destination wedding, as we would like to have a smallish wedding (50 people or less) and we are thinking Oct or Nov of 2013. We are looking for somewhere warm with direct flights from Vancouver (Mexico, Jamaica, Costa Rica), affordable for the guests, and child friendly, an all inclusive resort that has somewhere a little more private for the ceremony. The privacy for the ceremony comes from the fact I watched 3 weddings while at SM, as the weddings are right beside the beach loungers. I also want the resort to have great food and a great beach. I don't know if this even exists. I am really hoping that it does, as I ideally would like to have everything in one location (i.e., stay at an all-inclusive resort, and have the ceremony and reception at the same place). Alternatively I have looked into the Xcarat, but it seems maybe a little too expensive. I have also looked into Al Cielo, as we went there for the day a few years ago and both the food and beach are amazing, but then I need to find an all-inclusive resort near Al Cielo. But ideally, I would love to find an all-inclusive resort that fits my criteria. In advance, thank you very much for your suggestions and opinions and thanks for having me on the forum.

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the site, and can't wait to get people opinions and past experiences the good, the bad and the ugly. I got engaged in October at the Secrets Maroma resort, which is very beautiful and food was better than I would ever expect from an all-inclusive! Since our engagment, we haven't done much! Really the only thing we have decided on is a destination wedding, as we would like to keep the weeding to 50 people or less. We are aiming for Oct or Nov of 2013 and we're looking for somewhere warm and tropical with direct flights from Vancouver(Mexico, Carribbean, Central America?), affordable for the guests and as we're inviting kids. Ideally, I would love to find a family friendly resort, that has a great beach, great food and offers an area for the ceremony that isn't right beside all the beach loungers. I watched 3 weddings while at Secrets Maroma, and I would prefer to limit the number of outsiders as much as possible. I am really hoping that someone will be able to provide me with a great solution:) If such a thing even exists, without going non-all-inclusive. If we am not able to find an all-inclusive resort that offers something a little more private for the ceremony, I am considering Xcarat, but seems really expensive. Alternatively, a few years ago we went to Al Cielo for the day and it was amazing, but I would need to find an all-inclusive resort nearby for everyone to stay at. In advance, thank everyone so much for their suggestions and pictures and thanks for having me!
