Planning a destination wedding is no different. In fact you need the help of people you trust even more since you will be doing all your planning remotely. One big decision you need to make is will you be doing a legal? Or symbolic ceremony? Karisma offers both.
For the legal ceremony, you must arrive 3 business days (this means, Monday-Friday) before your wedding. This is so you are there in time to perform the blood test, which is done right at the resort, and to get all of your paperwork in order. If you want to have a Catholic ceremony, they are available, but you will need to be married before you arrive in Mexico because the Catholic ceremony is not recognized as legal in the US
With our ceremony choice made I was 100% ready to put my wedding in the capable hands of my travel agent and my wedding coordinator from Karisma. I had scoured every online website about beach weddings, flipped through countless bridal magazines, and attended endless Bridal shows.
I was confident in the choices that I was making for my big day.
In October, 11 months before my wedding the opportunity arose for me to go to Mexico
During our 5 night stay at Maroma we had arranged to do a little wedding planning. We were going to meet with our wedding coordinator, tour the possible wedding locations, taste foods for our dinner menu, and talk about colors.

The time I spent viewing the wedding locations and speaking with my wedding coordinator was invaluable! I cannot stress enough that it is possible with the help of your travel agent and Karisma to plan your perfect wedding with out setting foot on the resort before hand, but if you are a hands on bride *cough* control freak, taking a tour and seeing your resort first hand will erase any fears that you have and will make your planning process so much easier.
