I've been dying waiting for someone on here to get married at the Mayan so I'm SOOO glad you decided to join us!!!!
Where did you get your cake from? Marco said they only include a small "symbolic" cake in the package...
Also, how many people did you have and where did you guys stay? We plan on staying at the Westin.
Oh man I'm so excited - I can't WAIT to see your pictures!!!

At the last minute I cancelled the salad course because I thought it would take too long and be too much food. Im glad I did because by the time dinner was over people were jumping out of their seats and really wanted to get the party started. |
did you have a signature drink by chance

If so, how did that work itself out?

Lorilou- We got my husband's suit in downtown LA at a tailor. But my father and brother-in-law found great white linen suits at Loehmann's in LA. My dad and brother unfortunately couldnt find white linen suits in DC. Especially because I decided 6 weeks before the wedding I wanted an all-white wedding! Linen is the way to go, especially if you are getting married in the heat of May. After the ceremong my husband and I changed. In the fireworks pic, my husband took of his jacket and changed into a Hugo Boss white linen shirt which was great in the heat.
Amy-my sig drink was mojitos, they were great. I also wanted blue margaritas!!! A blue drink would be awesome, to match the bar and pillars. My husband didn't like the idea because we served margaritas for the two parties we had on the nights prior to the wedding.

The Westin is really beautiful too but the Westin is not appropriate for a small wedding like mine. I went to a gorgeous wedding that Prisar did at the Westin on the patio, but there were about 150 people there and the space seemed awfully big for that amount of people. The Westin's spaces are better for large weddings. They dont have any intimate spaces. The Mayan can accomodate both small and large weddings. I havent posted any pics/video yet. I used the same company for photography and videography and the pics are finished but my husband and I just finished choosing our wedding video songs so we should be getting it all together shortly.
JaimeLynne- I chose to use an outside WC for several reasons. First, I have seen weddings that Marco did by himself and I was not very impressed. Secondly, Priscilla ended up planning not just my wedding but two welcome parties and a brunch, which were all great. In the end she also saved me an unbelieveable amount of money. She took care of details like champagne being delivered to my bridal suite, getting my hair extensions done at a great place, driving me all over to appointments when neccessary, getting me special gifts for my guests, and being the contact go-to person for my guests in Vallarta when they needed something. She would have done the welcome bags too if I didnt want to do them myself, and Im leaving out a ton of other details I cant even think of or list them all now. An in-house planner wont do those things for you. Priscilla and Hector even recommended the cool after hours clubs to our group so we didnt end up at the cheesy tourist PV nightlife places. They really formed our wedding experience into something spectacular. I would definitely hire them again!!
