Double Destination Wedding – Barcelo Maya Palace. My Sister and I both had destination weddings a couple days apart in May 2011 at the Barcelo Maya Palace.
We come from an Airline family and have been to Mexico 9 times before this trip.We were used to planning/booking our own vacations and were very scared to try a new resort chain and even more nervous to work with a travel agent.
I did some digging for Travel Agents familiar with the Barcelo Maya Palace online and found Jay Islam at Grand Travel Cruise. THANK GOD I DID!
I read all of the testimonials and I thought …”Wow….He sounds too goo to be true”. As we started to work with Jay…I thought “I am so so so thankful I had found him.”He was a miracle through this wedding planning madness! Jay not only had one destination wedding to plan… He coordinated two weddings with about 50 guests! He was so wonderful. He not only acted as our travel agent…He was almost like a wedding coordinator! He made sure to contact our wedding coordinators when they were not getting back to us on time. He really put our minds at ease. He also gave the brides/grooms and all of our guests complimentary ocean view rooms/ocean club premium which was a super expensive upgrade. He made sure were were all in the same building and close to one another. We also had private transfers to and from the airport to the resort through Jay.
Jay was very awesome to work with and made sure to get back to everyone super quickly. The poor guy had almost 50 of our guests calling and e-mailing him daily with pricing, dates, tons of questions. I felt horrible to put poor Jay through all the chaos.
Jay also reffered us to Dan Dalstra our wedding photographer. A special thanks to Jay again! Dan was awesome to work with and is an amazing photographer. We flew Dan down from Texas and paid for his stay so he could capture all of our memories of our special double destination wedding extravaganza. If it were not for Jay referring Dan to us…I do not think we would have all of the amazing photos and memories we received from Dan.
Not only was I super happy and impressed with all of Jay’s hard work and dedication to making our travel/wedding plans a piece of cake….But all of our guests raved about him! We all said how much we loved Jay our whole trip. He not only is an exceptional travel agent, he is a wonderful person and we feel we have a life long friend in Jay. I am without a doubt going through Jay for every trip I plan in the future.
In fact…Our whole group from our double weddings are going to try and book “round 2 “at the Barcelo Maya Palace again May 2012. Get ready Jay!
We will be calling you soon! We love ya!!!!!!! 🙂
