    HELP!! Deciding on a location.....

    in Bahamas Weddings

    Posted

    Choosing the perfect resort can be overwhleming, I have been working on a wedding at the Riu Paradise Palace for anther bride and they have been great and accomodating, sometimes a little slow on their replies but the resort looks lovely and I hear good reviews about the whole property.

     

    The Dreams Palm Beach in The Dominican is very nice too!

     

    I hope this helps,

    Cancun Now Jade pricing

    in Destination Wedding in Riviera Maya, Cancun & surrounding areas

    Posted

     

    the 6th person or 6 th room, I know the Now Jade is part of the AM Resorts, there currently have what they call a 3G promotion, this is every 6th room free based on double occupancy ( must have 6 double rooms booked) maximum of three rooms per booking and yes you can decide how you want to use the credit but it does not get awarded until final payment just in case you have guests that can no longer travel, this should give you 6 people not 4 prior to taxes, some tour operators even through in the air and you only have to pay the tax. Now Jade is a lovely property but it is very popular, if you see a price your happy with dont miss out!

    Later Jan is also considered low season so it will price better than May :)

    Hope this helps!

     

    Merry Christmas, Petal Keine

    NOTE: The Pool Gazebo has a swim up bar behind it, if it's a busy time it could be noisy or lots on viewers....:(

    Quote:Hi again, in my experience the group rates you get are usually better than any online prices unless your travelling in the next month ot two. Booking early usually gets you early booking bonus's and concessions with the tour operators, in addition to this any group discounts/concessions are only applied at final payment, :just incase there have been cancellations on your group), their terms and conditions are very strict in this matter and the room type and amount of people from each gateway are very important.

    Read all the contracts thoroughly. :)

    I did a google search, there are 5 Marlin Travel's in Toronto! If you give them a couple different resorts that you are interested in, then they will contact their head office and establish the group rate. The only thing that was tricky was that to ensure the group rate the guests have to book relatively early. For our May 2012 wedding our guests head to book by the end of October; however, it was only a $300 deposit that they had to put down.

     

    Anyways hope this helps!

    Quote:Hello, I visited the Coral in September it was a great property, plenty going on for all age ranges, a beautiful beach and GREAT food, the rooms were spacious, everything was is good proximity and it's only 4 years old, I have 2 weddings at this property, the onsites have been a dream to work with. I have lots of pictures that I have posted to my profile on BDW of this property and I think you can find it under image gallery above too. :)

    Check out our photographer, Derek. He is the owner of Photos in Cancun, advertised on this site. His work is really nice, he gets back to you right away. He is actually originally from Toronto. You get him and Lorena(another photographer) for the price you would normally pay for 2. Read some of his reviews. We are getting the 1000$ package for four hours. I will also post our photos as soon as we have them in January.

     

    Good Luck!

    They're really fresh, tasty, creamy rich chocolates.  The only issue is the colour difference in 1/2 of the chocolates which is totally intentional, but completely unnecessary and personally, I wouldn't mix the two on my wedding cake.  But if you used 1/2 on the cake and the other colour on cupcakes or something, no one would probably ever know!  What I liked about these was that they had starfish and fish shapes in their box too...

They're in Vancouver and have been great dealing with getting our group booked (54 people) on time and have dealt directly with all of our guests, again saving us a lot of stress answering questions, etc.

     

    Good luck!

    As a side note, in the very early parts of my dw planning I was in touch with Fight Centre's wedding department and they totally dropped the ball and do not recommend them at all. I have friends who have worked at FC and they have all said go elsewhere when it comes to your wedding.  FC is good in terms of booking a regular holiday, but the are totally inexperienced when it comes to weddings. 

     

    Save yourself some stress and call up Blue Petal ;-)
