Moon Palace 2011 Brides

[SouthernSweetie]

I just started a new thread for MP Brides old and new: please check it out and contribute if you can. Here is a copy of the first post. The link is at the bottom:

 

This thread is to get all Moon Palace Brides - past, present, and future - to share the questions that you sent to your WC. The purpose is two-fold:

 

To make a comprehensive list of questions that you have asked, you need ask, you wish you would have asked...you get the idea. There are so many creative minds on this forum, I'd hate to go away thinking, "I should have asked about that," when I'm at the resort and it's obviously too late.

 

The other reason is so that those of us who are still in the planning stages can just put all of our applicable questions on one email to the WC, instead of having a lot of back-and-forth messenging. Maybe getting the questions list all up front will free up some time for them, and they can respond to us much quicker. (It seems that a lot of us have experienced some level of frustration with some WCs being slothful about responding.)

 

I am asking everyone to copy and paste their questions. I'm not sure if including the answers is a good idea, since things seem to change regularly. Additionally, many past brides have stated that when it came time to finalize the bill, the email dialogue between them and their WC saved some time and expense.

 

I am posting this link on threads for MP 2008-2011 brides. Thanks for contributing!

I'm also having my wedding at MP in March 2011 (th 12th to be exact)! I was torn between the sapphire and amythest package, but at the end went with amythest as purple is my favourtie color! good luck and happy planning!

one more quick question to all you brides...

 

are you guys choosing to have the ceremony on the beach or in the wedding gazebo? i personally am leaning towards having it on the beach but i'm concerned about things like the weather (too hot, too windy?) and walking in heels on sand. anyone have any suggestions or advice?

I am getting married in the Chapel. One thing to consider, another bride on here got married two weekends ago and it rained all evening, her reception could be moved inside and since the chapel is covered and enclosed it didn't affect her. However all the other brides had to have indoor ceremonies would I think would be less than ideal. It kind of takes the reason for a wedding in Mexico out of it. The indoor reception areas are nice but very generic and looks could really be any hotel reception anywhere. Just my opinion.

I'm going with the gazebo. You get the best of both worlds: outdoor scenery, indoor comfort and peace of mind.

Hi everyone,

I just received a contract to book Moon Palace for April 8, 2011! Just wondering - in the contract it says that I will receive contact from a wedding coordinator 30 days prior to the wedding - is this typical?

For those having cocktail hours/receptions - when do (did) you book these?

Yay! I am so excited to find this thread! I am a April 4 2011 Moon Palace bride and am looking forward to learning from your experiences! Anyone find additional pictures of the packages, especially Amber?

I am choosing the gazebo for the same reason as Southern Sweetie - outdoor location, but still sheltered in case of rain. Plus, it holds a ton of guests (130ish)

I just booked our wedding for April 16, 2011 at Moon Palace. We are supposed to have it at the chapel but they didn't mention anythign about the reception. I figured that would just come later as the wedding is almost a year a way.
