drbrainfreeze do you know if your friend had a price for the wedding in writing before the deposit was given? or was the deposit given with just a general estimate of total cost? Thank you very much to everyone for your input.

Did you guys block off any rooms for guests? They are telling me that this deposit is to block off 15 rooms for us and will be applied towards the wedding once the rooms are officially spoken for and paid.

That makes, sense.. $250 isn't bad. Of course they would expect to still be paid for their work in the event of a cancellation. Im talking about $7500.

Hello, I am going to be booking our Destination Wedding at the Half Moon in Jamaica. We have heard wonderful things, and we think this place is perfect. We worked out an estimate with a wedding planner at the half moon, and the estimate now suites our budget. The next step is to sign a contract and leave a deposit to get everything going. My concern is that the contract only talks about the venue and the rooms being blocked for our guests. There is no mention about the costs associated with the event. The deposit is also non-refundable. Is this normal? to leave a large sum non-refundable deposit (about 50% of our events estimate) without having the total cost in writing? Thank you for any information you might provide, Nervous Mike
