Well were do i start? I have been researching over the internet for about a week now and have just came across the website. After being engaged nearly two years now we are finally looking to book our wedding, ever since we visited Mexico in 2005 we have always said we would get married there.
Decided on moon place as a number of people i know have been on holiday and a few have been to weddings and said it was fab!!
Thinking about September time 2011/12 not sure yet, as i want to give family and friends enough time to pay it off.

Anyway would really appreciate any info about this hotel, i have heard its cheaper to book wedding direct with hotel rather than travel agents?? Is this true? would love feedback from people who have been married here and could give me some advice regarding the wedding packages and requirements
thanks

Congratulations! Welcome to the forum, you're going to love it here.

There are several TA's on the forum who can answer your questions about hotel rates. It's been my experience that a TA can usually get a much better deal than booking through the resorts directly. Doesn't hurt to check on both!

Hi and welcome! I am a April 2011 MP bride and here's what I've learned so far:
-if you have an RCI membership you may qualify for lower rates, mention this (you will need a member number so they can look up your status) when you submit your group reservation
-travel agents may also be cheaper ( i have yet to receive rates to compare) but make sure you double-check with MP who is allowed, because working with some TAs would disqualify you to receive free cocktail hours, etc. Wedding Destinations and Planning | Destination Weddings .com is approved and apparently they can get you upgrades too
-it takes FOREVER to get anything out of MP WC or WP...basically, this site will be your best source, i think thats another reason TAs might be a plus, have someone else to fight your battles

Thanks for the advice every1, will have a little look on this website. I am thinking of just going through the travel agents (thomson/first choice) as it may save alot of time and messing around, been in today and i have to wait till september before i can book.
