Barcelo Maya Palace Brides

[DCH777]

Here's a list of menu options that I was given by my WC for the Barcelo Palace. They all look pretty good. I'm also open to any ideas for center pieces. I would love to see pictures if anyone has any!

Has anyone gotten married at the Barcelo Maya Colonial in the Church? I am planning on getting married in the Church because I want a Catholic Ceremony. Does anyone know how that works? I believe it is done in English... not Spanish! Please help!!

It's your wedding and you can have it in either Spanish or English I'm sure. Especially if you are doing the legal part in Mexico as well. In fact I've heard the legal part IS done in Spanish and translated if people want. That's a good question for your TA.

Yes, I had my wedding at the Church June 27, 2008. It was beautiful. The priest was mexican but spoke english, but he was still a little hard to understand. But everything worked out. When is your wedding? I can can you info and let you know what you need to do before you get down there.

Are you making pre-mexico brochures, and "welcome to mexico" brochures for your guests? Does anyone have a list of the hotel restaurants, or a template I could look at? I have a rough draft, but am a visual person! Thanks!

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

Hi!!
I'm also getting married at the Barcelo on December 8, 2008. They do allow you to bring outside photograpers into the resort as long as you either book them a room for the night or get them a day pass for the day. I'm flying my photographer in so she'll be staying at the resort with us.

Also, can you please send me that brochure that's being mentioned? I'd so greatly appreciate it because I don't even know where to begin with that.

mjm160 - For the menu options, do you need to let the WC know in advance what you're guests will be having or does everyone get to pick their entree at the actual reception?

Thanks Ladies!!

Our reception will be right on the beach, so hopefully the weather will be ok (I'll have an indoor back-up plan just in case) I'm telling my guests to bring a "light jacket" in case there is a breeze. As far as the brochure goes, I do not have a template as of yet, but my computer genius FI is going to create them and I'll post when finished.
