I'm finally getting around to signing the contract and send a deposit. I have this address also on the wedding contract, but who do you make it out to on the check?? Is it Secrets Maroma Resort?? Or the name of account "IXE Banco S.A. Fideicomiso F/770"?? Ladies, please let me know what you did.

My mom wrote her check to: "Hotels del Caribe Holdings Inc.", and then in the memo section she put my name, my hubby's name and our wedding date.

The address on the envelope was:

Ms Cecily Diaz-Arauzo

Laredo National Bank

5085 Westheimer Ste 4700

Houston TX 77056

 

It's weird to me that the address and "Attn" are the same as the address you posted, but the bank name is different...?? For reference, our deposit was paid July 2009 for our Feb 2010 wedding.

Thanks Jaccat15!

My dinner options aren't set in stone, but we're doing the Ultimate package and I was debating between the silver (sweetness and passion) and gold (house surf and turf) entree selections. Both include shrimp and beef so I figure that will give our guests some variety. Trying to figure out entrees ahead of time seemed like too much work and the potential to mess it up seemed quite high!

Hello ladies!

 

Jaccat- can't wait to hear your feedback. Hope you are having a great time! I hope that she allows the surf and turf option.

 

@ree ree- we made our check out to IXE Banco

 

@all - what are you guys doing for table linens and outside decor?

hi everyone!

So my fiance' and I met with Cecilia on Saturday morning and it went great. He loved the resort and is so excited for our wedding there in 5 months!!! ahhhhh

 

Cecilia is ok with us doing the surf and turf for the entree as well as offering a chicken dish. She also said vegetarian meals will be available as well.

We worked on a lot of the decor we are going to be using as well as going through the Jewish ceremony items we will need. Since we have so much time, there isn't any rush to decide on until about 1 month prior.

 

She was super busy this weekend with other weddings and we saw a bride from the night before who came up to Cecilia and thanked her for her hard work - She seemed extremely pleased.

 

We also got to meet with our photographer - Samuel Luna - and speak about the schedule for the day of and such. He was so nice and very personable - his work looks amazing.

 

So that's that - I am so excited and can't wait to go back!!!!

Let me know if there is anything in particular you have a question about - I'm so tired from traveling so I might be missing something!

Sounds like you had a nice stay and a productive meeting with Cecilia!! It's very reassuring to hear about the bride thanking her for her work:)

Btw, it is 90 degrees here in DC area today, and I am wondering if the weather in Mexico in late September is like this or even hotter! I will need waterproof makeup for this!!

Thank you cheerleader1975! We made our check to IXE Bank, oops, slightly different, but hope it will still get there!!

Hi ReeRee -

the weather is huge concern! it was soo hot on the beach for my friends wedding this past weekend down there at the Paradisus and her wedding started at 6.

It got better when we all were standing around for the cocktail hour she had on the beach bc of the wind, thank G for that - but the way my FI was sweating, I'm hoping we are ok in October. The groom actually changed his shirt 4 times from sweating so much throughout the night!!!!

 

i found this on the weather channels website - might put us at east a little:

Wedding Planner - Set the Date, Average Monthly for Playa Del Carmen, Mexico

Hi there
for table linens, i am using the white ones that are included - nothing special. I really don't want to bring my own or have an upcharge and i think white is nice anyway.
As for decor - we are doing luminarias down the aisle for the ceremony and using the Chivarly chairs instead of what is included, and then using them for the reception too.
For the cocktail hour, we are going to use the lamp posts with hanging globes and small candles and flowers on the tables.
The trees around that area at night are already wrapped in lights.
For the reception, we are doign it in the ballroom so we are hanging sheets from the walls with lighting underneath. I picked the centerpeices with Cecilia the other day, they are candles and hurricanes of different sizes with our flowers in them.

i think that's it - nothing crazy
