Miami, FL, May 20, 2008 – Palace Resorts, the leader in all-inclusive, destination weddings throughout Cancún, the Riviera Maya, Isla Mujeres, Nuevo Vallarta, Cozumel and soon Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, is pleased to announce a host of new wedding options that are now available for the 2008 wedding season.

“Getting married is a special time in a couple’s life, and no two weddings are exactly alike – each has its own unique touches and singular moments,” said Maira Briceno, Director of Marketing for Palace Resorts.” With this in mind, Palace Resorts has been working to develop numerous packages to suit every type of wedding. Be it civil, symbolic, Catholic or Mayan we truly have something for everyone.”

Below is a brief description of all the wedding packages that are currently available at the Palace wedding resorts:

Symbolic Weddings
New for the 2008 season, Palace Resorts is delighted to introduce three new “Symbolic Wedding Packages” that offer couples the ideal setting for their tropical dream nuptials but removes all the legal details that go into planning a destination wedding in Mexico. As these wedding packages are not legally binding, they offer the perfect solution to couples who have dreamt of a tropical destination wedding, but prefer to process all the legal paper work in the US. The package categories that are available are “Free” which is available to guests staying at the resort as part of their room rate, “Superior” which is available for $1,350 - $1,780 and the “Deluxe” at $1,700 - $2,750.

Blessing of the Mayan Gods Wedding Package
For guests looking for something a little more “non-traditional,” something that embraces the local culture and offers a spiritual reverence to the ancient Mayan, Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort in Cancun and Aventura Spa Palace in the Riviera Maya, are pleased to offer guests the Blessing of the Mayan Gods wedding package that is priced at $1,000.

The ancient Mayans believed that when a couple gets married, their wedding day is more than just two individuals deciding to spend their lives together. It is a sacred union that is performed not only in the presence of their family and friends, but also in the presence of Mother Nature.  As such, the ceremony is richly steeped in symbolism to represent deep suited feelings like union, abundance, commitment, movement, desire, joy and happiness while being performed on the beach.

Civil Wedding Packages
For couples looking to accentuate their signature style and draw from a non-denominational approach to the themes that are commonly found in wedding ceremonies, the Palace Resorts Civil Packages are the perfect choice. By opting for these non-denominational ceremonies, guests are welcomed to include special readings, personal vows, private symbols or even unique wedding themes to their nuptials. Available at most of the Palace wedding resorts, the civil ceremonies are offered as “Free” which is available to guests staying at the resort as part of their room rate, “Superior” which is available for $1,350 - $1,780 and the “Deluxe” at $1,700 - $2,750.

Catholic Wedding Packages
For those who have dreamt of a formal Catholic wedding complete with the tradition and liturgy, but yearn for a tropical destination, Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort is the perfect venue. With two packages to choose from, the wedding planners at Palace Resorts are ready to work with the happy couple on every aspect of the worship service. The package categories that are available are “Classic Catholic Wedding” at $860 or the “Royal Catholic Wedding” at $1,450.
