Congrats on the Engagement and Happy planning!

Hey MajesticPC2011Bride,

 

Maybe I'll see you there! We'll likely fly in that weekend of January 29th.

I'll see you there to! We plan to arrive on January 29!

Anyone doing parasols? If so where did you get them?

...and i will be there probably from the 24th - Feb 1!

we are doing parasols, but haven't purchsed any yet - if you find any good deals, let me know!

I'm getting confused by all these add -on. I basically want three things

1. wedding ceremony at gazebo

2. free dinner at a restaurant (decorated with my table cloths & sashes etc)

3. beach party with a lighted dance floor and DJ and cake cutting

 

I don't see why I have to pay extra for open bar at an all inclusive resorts that just sounds nuts!!! I mean can I have a beach party and guest just walk over to the bar and order their drinks?

We should have a quick little BDW brides pina colada together


Yeah... paying for the open bar sucks, but it seems to be the standard. We haven't decided yet what we want to do. At first we wanted the Presidential Suite, but maybe we'll go with the Wet/Parrot bar...

You are paying for the beach to be set up nice for you, lighting, and the sound system and the bar because you need the bar. It's your wedding and you don't want your guests who are paying a good amount of money to have to walk away from your party to wait in line at the bar with other resort guests and walk back. The party on the beach is really cool! I've seen it! From a distance stand point, the nearest bar isn't far, however time ways you will waste alot and you and your guests will miss out on things. Every resort charges extra for open bar for private functions. I know it sucks but think about how much you save. Doing open bar at a local venue is alot more. The majestic added new bar options like a flat fee reception or value beer, wine, soda packages. I also researched alot of resorts and the majestic gives you a good amount of stuff included in the package compared to others. I also loved the Barcelo Palace in Mexico and they charge a flat fee for weddings based on the package for upto so many people (atleast $2000-3000) and then each person is $70-90 each.

Try not to let every fee get to you. Make a budget and start deciding what is the most important and work your way down.

Good luck planning!

Hi everyone - quick question. I am leaving for the Majestic (yay!!) in a week. Back when I had Maritee, she quoted me at $50 per day pass (which I am fine with, we have DJ Mania as our DJ and I know he brings an assistant). Maritee, as you all know, is now gone. Today, I emailed the resort asking how I was to pay this fee and I mentioned the $50/person. Yadilis wrote me back and said its $100/pass.

Has anyone else had a problem with this? I was prepared for $50/person and to be honest, I dont want to have to fight this when I get down there. We are already paying a lot for the presidential suite, open bar, buffet....you get my drift.

 

If any of you ladies could let me know, I would greatly appreciate it!
