Thank you so much! That information really helps!! Especially because I do not personally know of anyone who stayed at the EDR.

Hello Brides! We are getting married at the Barcelo Maya Palace in July and we are deciding between Secrets Silversands, El Dorado Royale, or Excellence Riviera for our honeymoon after the Barcelo. Can anyone provide some insight if you have been to any of these resorts? Thanks!

Hello past and new brides... Has anyone dealt with Xhail? It has been about 6 weeks since her last email to me and I have emailed her numerous times asking questions. Another question I have.. I was sent pictures of the flower options. Are these options just for the bridal bouquet or the bridesmaids bouquets as well? Thanks in advance!

Past brides: Can anyone tell me if you can pick the songs they play for your ceremony? I picked the violin and I am wondering if I should be choosing songs to walk down the aisle to. And if so, when do we tell them the songs? Thanks!

Can anyone tell me if you have to pay the $500 vendor fee for an outside DJ? My reception will be in a banquet hall.

Hello Brides, My wedding coordinator Xhail is asking me if I have a seating plan.. Do we need to bring a master seating plan or do they do that? I am just wondering because she is asking for all the names.

Hello, Does anyone have pictures of the hurricane vases you can rent? Just trying to plan out our centrepieces. Thanks!

Great idea! It is so much fun and I am soooo excited I found one!!!

Ordered my dress! They told me it will take 6 months to come in and they like to start alterations 4 months prior. I had no idea it took so long!

Yes I am! I am not exactly how my TA was able to do it, but she was able to get us rates back in February! She worked with Air Canada Vacations as well as the resort to find us the best deal. Our guests have just put deposits down so far- they are due July 15. Everyone was very good about it being so early because of the great rate we are getting. Flights should be out very shortly if they are not already. My TA told me that a year ahead they should all be out. Happy Planning!

You can put your wedding date on hold without your room booked then once you book your room your wedding date is actually reserved.

And we chose our photographer and booked him!

Yay July 2014 Brides! I booked my wedding for July 1 2014 at the Barcelo Maya Palace Deluxe. So far: - booked our date with the resort - chose our wedding package - chose our wedding party - invited our guests (via email due to the short notice for our GREAT group rate) - most guests have put deposits down - booked our trip! I have found that choosing the resort was the hardest part but I am so relieved to have found one!

Hello Ladies.. Does anyone have pics of their reception at the Banquet hall they want to post or send to me? I am still deciding between the Mint Breeze and Strawberry Passion package and would love to see how the banquet hall looks for receptions. Thanks!
