Hey fellow Brides! We were just given our official onsite wedding coordinator...Emy...I've seen mixed reviews (horrible and good) and want to see if anyone has had a recent experience dealing with her and your wedding. I don't want to start on the wrong foot by asking to get changed to another one, if she's been better with more recent brides... Thanks!

Hey there! Who was your onsite wedding coordinator? I just got Emy and I've seen mixed reviews about her...! Thanks!

Hey everyone! We are getting ready to get everything set for our wedding on 7/7/14 and I wanted to see if any past brides have any suggestions on where to have our cocktail hour. We aren't going to use it on our wedding day, since we are now going to have a private reception. Also, if you have any cocktail menu suggestions as well, we would be greatful! Hopefully everyone is happily planning!!!

Hey ladies! I've just now been able to get on here since the update! I've been starting my DIY decorations and they've gone pretty good so far. I can't believe that we are leaving in exactly 5 months! Time is flying! I do have a little concern...we weren't able to get the 75 room nights, since my cousin booked with another agent. (RUDE! - JK!) So we won't be able to use our private event for our wedding reception. We are going to have about 30-36 guests. I was wondering if we could have our "free dinner reservation" at the Brazilian joint and then have our "free cocktail hour" for a pretend reception. Do you think that would work and give it a wedding feel? I wonder if anyone knows what the cost would be to extend our cocktail hour to 2 or 3 hours? We are planning on hooking up our ipod to a portable speaker. We are on a SUPER budget and trying to not have to pay for anything extra! Let me know your thoughts! I should be updating my planning thread this weekend with all of the things that I have done so far... Happy Planning!

They have cabanas all around, beach or pool, with servers waiting on you. Clean your glasses, give frozen grapes, etc. The shows are great- like a Cirque du soleil show. Details all around . I could go on and on, You'll love it! Sounds amazing!!! I'll have my agent look into it! Thanks a ton!!!!

Are there any other MP Brides and Grooms that are taking/or took their honeymoon in Cancun or the surrounding areas after their stay at MP? I am thinking about a few days but somewhere a bit more private and wanted to see if anyone can recommend somewhere that my agent can look into. Thanks!!!

I wanted to know how you were able to get the kids stay free promotion they are offering with ur group rate? What did you say? I would love to offer my guests with kids the same perk. Thanks for the info. Hey charmedhk, I asked my travel agent to check with the resort and they were able to honor the 2013 summer promotion and they agreed! We only have to pay for transportation from the airport to the resort for all kids under 12. For kids 12-17, they have the pay the regular child fee. Good luck!!!

I'm full of excitement and of course stress!!!! We have to do a totally last-minute wedding due to family illness and I've taken the plunge. Friends of ours are memebers of the Palace and Hard Rock resorts, so we booked our group through them. Anyway - I need to set up a destination wedding website ASAP. Any recommendations? I'm going shopping for a dress tomorrow (rush delivery please!). What else do I need todo right away? Any tips advice you can offer are much appreciated. Let's see of I can pull this off! I'm know as an amazing hostess and throw unforgettable parties. I want ,y wedding to be grand, and with this deadline, we'll see what happens! Thanks!!! WOW! Congrats! That's our 2 year anniversary! I have my website through our TA, but I know of many! My favorite that you can "pay" for is: Appy Couple. I really wish I would have just paid the $29, but my invites already went out with my first one, so I think it's too late to change it... Anyways, good luck and I can't wait to hear about it and see how the "last minute" planning works! What collection are you doing?

I haven't even thought about the reception yet. I'm just trying to make sure I stay on budget! Well that and getting all the important details squared away like, confirming my location for the reception.... oh! and Invitations. I did my STDs last weekend and the first batch will probably go out next week. (fingers crossed) Did you do a site visit? I feel like you said you went in August. That's awesome! We just ended up skipping the STDs because I wanted to do both the passport/boarding pass and everyone that is going already knew about the wedding months ago! I would love to see how yours turned out!!! (It was kinda nerve wrecking sending mine out...I honestly told my fiancee that there's no turning back now! haha) I haven't done a site visit. I can't afford to do it, I would have LOVED to, but it's not possible!!! I'm going to try to get nicer thick luminarias to see how they'll hold up! I totally hear ya on trying to stay under budget - who knew that it would still cost an arm and a leg when they said "complimentary"! BUT, it's going to be worth it and the wedding of our dreams, so why not?!
