Moon Dance Villas ~ Wedding Location

I often find myself suggesting to brides to gain some ideas and inspiration by browsing the internet and wedding blogs for what they would like for their special day to look and feel like. One of my all-time favorites to visit is Style Me Pretty. Their site seems to never fail at inspiring with some phenomenal wedding ideas and photographs. This weekend they are featuring a wedding at the amazing Moon Dance Villas.

Moon Dance Villas may just be the finest rental accommodations in all of Negril, Jamaica. It is located on the famous 7 mile-beach in Negril and offers six world-class beach front homes that are sufficient with privacy, elegance, comfort, pleasure and remarkable service. Each villa is fully staffed and equipped to satisfy every need and comfort: chef, bartender,housekeeper, concierge service, 24-hour security, private beach front, water sports and beach activities, pool, Jacuzzi, TV, VCR, computer with Internet access, fax, direct telephone, indoor/outdoor stereos, and airport transfer from Montego Bay – all included.

What made you decide on having a destination wedding?

A destination wedding was an easy choice for our wedding because it was very cost-effective for us to pay for since the wedding and honeymoon were at the same location. The location which we chose also had a wonderful wedding/honeymoon package which we took full advantage of.

What made you decide on the resort/venue?

We chose the Couples Swept Away resort because the wedding/honeymoon package which was perfect for us was at no extra cost. And the few upgrades that we wanted were at a very reasonable price.

Who was your photographer?

The photographer we used was one they had on site and he was great.

What was the biggest difficulty in planning your destination wedding?

I did not have one single difficult thing to plan at all. Everything was taken care of for me and taken care of well. I did not have to worry about one thing which was just the way I wanted it.

What was the highlight of the experience?

My biggest highlight was that everything went so well for the wedding at such a small cost and no stress. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Biggest surprise?

How beautiful the scenery was.

If your best friend were planning a destination wedding what would your advice be to her?

Make sure to pack your tanning lotion because you are in for a wonderful sunny treat!

What made you decide on having a destination wedding?

We wanted to keep it small and intimate and really wanted to celebrate getting married. What better than a 4-5 day celebration/vacation with family and friends!

What made you decide on the resort/venue?

I had heard from a friend that the Riviera Maya was a beautiful spot in Mexico to visit. Out of all the options given to us, we ultimately chose the RIU Palace Mexico because the grounds are absolutely gorgeous and felt it would be the perfect place for our outdoor wedding.

Who was your photographer?

Our photographer Calypso Foto was in-house by the RIU and absolutely wonderful to work with! The one thing I was very worried about was the photography but she met every expectation we had. The photos turned out wonderfully and they printed our wedding album and cd before we left Mexico!

What was the biggest difficulty in planning your destination wedding?

The biggest difficulty is trusting that everything will turn out the way you envisioned. Weddings are all about the details and when you plan it away you have to realize that you may not get exactly what you want. Most resorts already have pre-determined options that you select from. This for me was a life saver because I am extremely detail oriented and felt planning a local wedding would be overwhelming. In the end, you have to trust the wedding coordinator and know that everything will turn out beautifully!

What was the highlight of the experience?

Aside from our wedding day, the highlight of our experience was the day before the wedding when the majority of guests had arrived. All 20 of our guests stayed at the same hotel and just being able to all spend time together at the beach, relaxing and having fun in the sun is something we will remember forever. Also, the staff at RIU Palace Mexico was top notch; they were so friendly and accommodating and made our stay at the RIU one to remember.

Biggest surprise?

The biggest surprise was how easy the whole experience was! I wanted a stress free wedding planning and definitely got it! We were also surprised to hear how much our guests enjoyed it as well. We knew everyone would have a fun time but to hear them say that they want to plan another vacation next year with the same group was such a delight!

If your best friend were planning a destination wedding what would your advice be to her?

I would tell her the advice I received from a friend - to go through a travel agency. Having Terrah and Legacy Travel made the whole trip planning process so effortless for us and our guests. She was also there to answer any questions I had about anything! Thank you Terrah for helping make our day perfect!
