newbie-gran bahia principe

Recommended Posts

hi i'm wendy and in the very beginning stages of planning our wedding. we've decided on the gran bahia principe - mayan riveria in mexico...sometime in 2010. maybe april or november. we've been there 2x already so we are familiar with the resort.

 

i'm interested in hearing others experience about getting the legal ceremony and getting the blood tests done there. we can't decide if we should do that or get married legally here.

Welcome!!! I got married on the Akumal side in April. I can't recommend it enough! The weather was GORGEOUS and the ceremony was amazing!

We did the legal version, so we did the paperwork and the bloodwork. Super easy. The blood tests are done at the Hacienda (which I'm sure you're familiar with). The nurse was super friendly and VERY good at getting in my rolling veins on the first try. I was beyond impressed. Everything was brand new and sterile. No issues at all.

 

The legal ceremony was alright. It has to be in Spanish and then translated into English. That didn't bother us at all since we were in Mexico, I thought it was kind of cool! Then I added my own sand ceremony which was read by my aunt. It was perfect!!

 

Any other questions, please feel free to ask! I love the GBP and I can't wait to go back!

thanks everyone for the warm welcome.

 

i appreciate the input Tlseege about the ceremony & blood tests. if you got married on the akumal side did you have a beach ceremony? i am still confused about the actual locations for the wedding. even though we have been there 2x we never actually saw the areas where the ceremony is performed. i like the idea that they do spanish & english, that's good to know. i joking told FH that i wanted to say something silly in my vows in spanish...haha

 

thanks Sapphire723 i will check out that thread and try to help with any questions about the resort!

 

i'm really enjoying this website there is so much valuable information.

    • 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!
