1. Need to take a Pre-Cana Class. In Chicago, were we live, they offer one day classes from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm on Saturdays, at certain locations.
2. Need the contact information of the Priest performing the ceremony in Mexico, so our Priest can send the necessary documents.
3. Need recent copies (within 6 months) of our Batism certificates (this is a pain for me as I was Batised in Austria).

According to the hotels that perform Catholic Weddings (Iberostar Paradiso del Mar, and Barcelo), the necessary documents we need to send to the Priest in Mexico, are the same ones our local parish requires.... I still need to follow up on this and make sure. Our Priest also needs to send a letter of recommondation stating that we performed all of the necessary requirements for marriage.

As far as legality, we may just get married legally here at city hall and do the religious ceremony in mexico.

If you have any questions let me know!!
Thanks, all of this info is so helpful! This is going to be such a pain!! Oh well. I'm in New York so I'll have to see what they require in terms of certificates...I've heard it varies from diocese to diocese. Adamsgrrl, what is the format of the Catholic weddings at Iberostar and Barcelo, do they have chapels? So far, we've just been looking at the Marriott because of their outdoor gazebo. I know also that Moon Palace has a chapel, but I was still trying to find out about other options.

We were orignally looking at getting married in El Dorado Royal (Beautiful Chapel) and the Moonpalace (Gazebo), but my FI didn't really like the hotels because of the beach and water.. (according to him it looked murky.. he's pretty picky).

 

So now its either the Barcelo which has a open air Chapel with a thacthed roof. Or the Iberostar Del Mar - eventhough there are 5 hotels located together in the Iberostar chain, you have to stay in either the Del Mar or Beach if you want a Catholic Wedding. They have a Closed Chapel with stainglass windows located in shopping center of the hotel complex. According to their WC, Padre Juan Antonio Lopez, from a local fishing village, will be the one performing the ceremony.

 

You can email me at Mon82@sbcglobal.net, if you want some additional information from what the hotels sent me..... packages, descriptions, some limited pictures, etc.

 

Sorry I didn't attach here but the PDF files are too big.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
