HELP! I need wedding ideas for Mexico

I have no idea where to begin. I am thinking Mexico for our wedding since it will be cost effective, and a beach wedding which FI wants and I wanted to do Vegas. So we compromised. However I have no idea where to start looking to even begin planning. Any advice would be super!TIA

Re: HELP! I need wedding ideas for Mexico

  • Hey there! Welcome to the DW board, and Congratulations on your engagement :)I'm having a DW in Cancun, in January 2010. I'm not sure exactly what kind of info you are looking for. There are quite a few Mexico brides on here, hopefully some of them will pop in so you can see ideas for different locations. Another location we looked into was Puerto Vallarta.Just make sure you guys pick someplace that you both love. Also, something you will want to consider is doing an All Inclusive resort, or if you want to stay at a resort at all. Resorts aren't for everyone, you can do vacation rentals on houses or condos too. There are pros & cons to everything, and you just have to figure out what works best for you guys.AI resorts are nice because you don't have to worry about paying for anything once you're there, as long as you do everything (meals) in the resort. We're doing a regular, pay-as-you-go resort, because we just fell in love with it and new right away that was the place for us.The ladies on here are really helpful, so if you have any questions just ask! :)
  • Sorry I don't have any Mexico advice - but welcome to the board!

  • Congrats on your engagement!! FI and I are getting married in Cozumel, Mexico so if you have any questions feel free to ask away! If you're not sure where you want to go, I'd recommend finding a travel agent who has done DW before.  They can usually recommend a few resorts and narrow down your choices.  I'm using a local TA, but I know a bunch of girls on here have used national ones.  Good luck and have fun planning!
  • Hi and welcome to the board! There are quite a few Mexico girls on here (and even more who were married there in the last few months). I am a Puerto Vallarta bride. I chose the location for a few reasons: cost for us, cost for our guests, nice beaches, I've been there before, etc. There are so many ways to choose the location that is best for you. Pick a few things that you MUST have and go from there. It really is the hardest decision!If you have any questions about planning or about Puerto Vallarta, I am happy to help! Good luck!

  • Hi, we are getting married in Riviera Maya at Secrets Maroma Beach next year. The property is just beautiful. I would definently recommend finding a travel agent that specializes in destination weddings. Not sure where you are located, but if in the Milwaukee,WI area I work at a travel agency. Once we were engaged my mom bought me the book "destination weddings for dummies". It was great & I would recommend purchasing.
