Majestic colonial- open bar!

[brendali.caban]

I am posting this as a seperate thread.

 

It seems there is alot of miscommunication in terms of open bar prices for the M.C.

 

For me, I am expecting up to a 100 people. Open bar has been quoted to me as the following-

 

Premium-35

International-25

National- 15

 

This is PER HOUR, PER PERSON.

 

This means for a ONE HOUR open bar for my guests would be $1500.

 

Frankly, I find this ridiculous.

 

Continuing however, a couple of brides on the Facebook M.C. group, have said their wedding coordinator has quoted them with a newly implemented base price of $500 for rental of reception space, sound system, and OPEN BAR per hour. This is MUCH more reasonable.

 

How many of you have gotten back a per person quote and a $500 base pay quote? I feel this is ridiculous, and especially for brides bringing such a big group as well as MONEY!!!

I've just e-mailed Sandra as well. I wish they would communicate such changes more clearly!

[brendali.caban]

Please let us know as soon as she responds. Yadilis sent me that info, and I emailed her back asking about the 500 option!

Wardes who took over for Claudia just told me about that new flat fee option! So it is correct.

I haven't received anything back yet from Sandra... they are probably flooded with e-mails. I hope that conveys the need to communicate more efficiently and consistently in the future!

I got an email from Sandra today... this is what she said:

 

Q. Also, I was reading on the Facebook group, a few brides said they were quoted a price of $500 for rental of the wetbar/parrot bar, and that included open bar along with the sound system. So i'm just a little confused with pricing now. If you could clarify for me i'd really appreciate it

 

.[sandra de la Cruz] Of course it will be a pleasure to clarify it, I see there has been a lot of confusion but please make sure to understand except for the outside photographers policy, that is also a business expense for them, not for our couples, there is nothing that is going to affect negatively to weddings, we just have added a new option of renting the parrots bar or wet bar (as well as it was offered since we opened at the sports bar or disco) for US$500.00 per hour including set up, national drinks and sound system. You can go with this option or keep the other one of US$300.00 to rent it and add what you prefer about drinks, music, etc.

NOTE GUYS! She said $500 per hour

Thanks so much for clarifying that... It sounds like a good option!

[Littleone77]

I got that info too...I was getting worried because I was also told I had the Presdnt suite and then told I didn't send them a reply...which I did and kept but it was too late...

Hopefully this will stay an option cause I have 60+ and the pricing was getting a little much!

Thanks for advising on the follow-up

I got a similar e-mail from Sandra:

 

[sandra de la Cruz] US$500.00 per hour including sound system + set up + national drinks was available before for sports bar and disco, we have added this option for the wet bar and parrots bar
