Mine was in English and I don't even remember them asking me if I wanted it to be in Spanish. But if you want it to be in Spanish i don't think it’s going to be too hard to find a Spanish speaking minister!!!

The white gazebo can be used for the ceremony. The only thing is that it's very out in the open.... Not really private. I loved the way it looked but i chose more private location between the palm trees..

what is the name of the area where you had your ceremony? I'd like to have mine in the same spot but want to identify it clearly to the wc....

I can't remember did you have a civil ceremony? I want mine in english ... it just seems like all the resorts have the civil ceremonies in spanish and translate it to english ... I'm not sure how I feel about that..

I don't think there is a name for the ceremony location. It took place right in front of the closet buffet to the gazebo.

Hi! I'm getting married at the Barcelo Maya Palace on Dec. 22, 2008. I don't know what to do about a photographer. Should I bring one from Dallas (my hometown), find one in Playa, or trust the photographer at the Palace Have any of you seen (or heard good/bad things about) the pictures taken by the Barcelo photographer?

Several brides have told me to NOT use the hotel photographer! If you have the $, I would fly in your own. If you are on some sort of budget, I would use a photog in Mexico. But, I would book it now if you are using someone in Mexico, because my first choice was booked 3 months ago for January
Also, they say they don't accept outside photographers, but my WC ASSURED me, with a day-pass it's fine. I'm just not going to make a big deal and hope it's all ok

Hello! I am getting married at Barcelo Maya January 24, 2009! I would love to hear any comments or see any pictures any of you may have! Do any of you have any information on menu choices or what the flower options look like? Also, what kind of centerpieces are you using/did you use? Any information you have will certainly help! Thanks!
