Hi Everyone,

 

It's my first time logging on to Best Destination Weddings... but I'm a long time creeper. We don't have a wedding date set yet, but I am interested in finding out more information on the Catholic Ceremony at the Moon Palace Resort in Cancun.

 

Tara!

I just booked the Moon Palace today for April of next year. We are planning on doing a catholic ceremony. They haven't told us any of the requirments yet but from what I have googled you have to get some paperwork for your parish. i think the chapel is the prettiest gazebo at MP and. In my opinion, the pews make it look really beautiful.

I am having a Catholic wedding at MP as well. In fact I am doing the Pre-Cana at my local parish this weekend. You then have to provide the priest in Mexico with the paper work that you completed this.

 

One thing to note with the Catholic wedding in Mexico, it is not a legal ceremony. You have to be married legally prior in your home country and bring the paperwork with you in order to have the Catholic wedding. Otherwise the priest will not marry you. We checked to see if we could do the legal part later and the answer was no. You need to be married before to even have the ceremony.

Hi Everyone! Thanks for the input -- I don't know what any of us would do without this website!

 

alison15 - that's very interesting about having to be married legally before you go down to Mexico... I had no idea! How are you guys doing it? By your parish preist or by a JP?

Darksparkles, I guess it depends on availability and how our priest feels about the wedding down there. We have pre-cana this weekend so I guess we will find out. I don't want the wedding down there to just be symbolic so if it could count as our real Catholic wedding since it won't be our legal one then we will just go to a JP. Or it may just be easier to have our priest do it the weekend before.

 

I joked with my FI that this way we have two anniversaries so if he misses the first one, he can try to remember the second one.

You can get married legally at MP before you have a Catholic ceremony.  It's just an option if you didnt want to have two weddind dates.  We were going to have a Catholic wedding but we picked a date you aren't allowed to.  There is just more paperwork involved.

    • 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!
