Becgur,
I would talk to Milton, Luis or Ed about making arrangements. If you were thinking of the pool area, you would have to do it when the pools are open. I think that is near Easter time. I have been there during that time and there are lots of vendors selling grilled chicken, meat and fruit stands. I think you could easily get someone to prepare food for your weeding guests. You would have to pay admission fees for the pool area, then stake out and area for your party. (I would bring decorations and decorate an area with tables etc). Music will be more problematic because everyone seems to have radios and they blast all different kinds of music. You may have to go with the flow on that one, because if you have dedicated musicians, I doubt you would hear them. There are bakeries in town where you could commission a wedding cake or you could get one in Monterrey.
The church that everyone speaks of is very lovely, but, it's pretty far away on not so great roads. I am not sure it's worth the journey to get there for the ceremony. You might want Milton or Luis to investigate local churches to see if anything feels right to you. You could always talk to Luis about doing the enitre event at La Posada. It's really quite lovely there. He has spent considerable resources landscaping, building a beautiful pool etc. Another option might be the hotel that was built around the hot springs. While it's a 45 minute drive from EPC, the hotel is quite nice and the hot springs are really nice. I looked at most of the rooms at the hotel and they are 4 star. The common areas are very pretty and it might be a good option for having the wedding and accomodating your guests. Here is some information on the hot springs:

You can purchase a lot of your supplies at the Walmart in Monterrey, but, if you need special items, then I would bring them from the US.
Personally, I think it would be fairly easy to plan an event at EPC, you just need to tap into the right people for help. Luis, Milton and Ed would be a great place to start.
