Anyone have experience booking a wedding in Mexico, mayan Rivera?

Friend of mine from Vancouver plans weddings in Playa del Carmen ... message me in private if you would like details

Plz send me details

A big thing to look for is when they shut down your bar and music. Some make it close down quite early. Worth looking into as a detail. Every resort can be different

I have experience with assisting in weddings in playa del Carmen, and tulum if you have any questions I can help.

Dreams tulum was amazing!!!!

Barcelo Maya!!!!!

Yep we were married at moon palace in Mayan Rivera! Super easy just contact hotel book the package you want and date and go from there

Hi Nicola! I'm getting married at Moon Palace in May of next year. Since you were also married there- is there any helpful hints/advice that you can give me one bride to another?

Thanks for the info Nicola, Did you contact the hotel and book the rooms directly with them because you knew how many guests were attending for sure? And what about flights, did you book that seperatyl?

We had 50 people come down so my biggest thing was just to visit with everyone during the week and had a common meeting place on the pool deck, people could come and hangout for the day or go on their own. I didn't really get too uptight about everything. My wedding coordinator was great and everything was done and beautiful.
We just made plans with everyone (who wanted to go) what restaurant to meet and what time each night. Again, we didn't make everyone go everywhere as we knew some just wanted a vacation on their own and relaxation for some of the days so I just let it be but was always at the common meeting meeting area on the pool deck in case someone wanted to do something. When I would wander the resort I would always run into someone (4 different pools there 10years ago, more now though) and I'd hang for a drink and visit
We are going back next August for a 10 yr reunion with everyone

Sara Ania I actually had the travel agent do all of that. Just told everyone the dates and the flight and hotel with prices and told them to call the lady I was dealing with. The more rooms and people on the flights it made it cheaper for everyone. Sat down with a travel agent first though and discussed it all. If people wanted another part of the resort or to use air miles they booked themselves.

Also do not book excursions until you get there it's too hard over the phone organizing everyone etc. Make plans by the poolside

My only negative comment is that the "credits" aren't necessarily worth much, depending on how you want to use them. Some of our guests were quite disappointed in trying to use it for golfing, since you ended up spending as much on extras like balls, club rentals, carts etc. as you got credit for. Spa credits are limited. It's ok, but read the fine print or just don't figure the credits into the equation.

Food is great there, it's a lovely resort and they did a good job on all the wedding arrangements. They only thing I might wish we hadn't bothered with was the horse drawn carriage because nobody say the bride in it. The guests are all down on the beach and the horse let the bride out at the top of the hill. Maybe if you're not having a beach wedding it works better.

They have a wedding Facebook page

This forum was one of the best resources for me, they have sections on individual locations and resorts

Please also let me know if you'd like me to connect you with a travel agent that can work with you on this. She's based out of Canmore and can communicate and help you from there.

Barcelo does a good job.

Just pm you

As a destination wedding photographer, I've seen both positive and negative experiences at two different Mexican resorts. The biggest advice I can give you is to make sure wherever you book isn't constantly trying to get more money from you when you arrive/ make you feel like you are just a factory wedding and constantly speeding you through the wedding day process. Some resorts really want to make the day special; Others are just about money.
