Does anyone know which locations for ceremony and/or reception are handicap accessible? I have not been able to get this answer from anyone at the resort after sending emails a couple times over the last 3 weeks.....The handicap accessibility is our only concern

Im so jealous, you will have a wonderful time and an amazing day.

We also originally had Pilar but she got ill with her pregnancy so Isela took over. She is good and she knows what she is doing. She also reads the weather really well, on the morning of our wedding it was beautiful but as the day went on it was getting very stormy outside, Isela held off till the afternoon and then asked /advised that maybe we should bring the reception from outside inside. I initially was not very keen as i had all the table decorations for being outside but she said it was 99% that by the time the ceremony was over it was going to rain so I followed her advise ad she moved us into the bamboo room. Luckily you can leave the ceremony till about 30min before service to move it in so my fingers were crossed that the rain would hold off for at least the service.

The rain did stay away luckily for us but it was so humid and sticky that being moved into the air conditioned room was the best choice made and im glad she advised us to do so. The table that Isela set up for our reception was beautiful, it was just how i envisaged it being.

What package are you going ??

Im not sure what to make of the reviews on Trip Advisor regarding the not so nice "Vibe" from the staff at the Now Jade.  I know I should not take much notice but my guests and I are paying alot of money to holiday/get married here the last thing we want is battles with the staff. Surely they can't be as bad as the reviews make out but I dont understand why people would make such negative remarks without reason.  Maybe these people have nothing better to do than moan and critisise the smallest of things. :-( I would be very interested to hear from any brides that have got married there recently because the reviews say that this Vibes was never the case a couple of years ago and that it is only within the last year or so?? on the plus side there are LOTS of positive reviews but these odd few do niggle away at me!!!  Actually the thing that scares me most is coming face to face with this time share people from the trip advisor comments they sound like BIG scary, aggresive monsters.......I think i will need to toughen up in the next week because I dont like saying NO to people, on the other hand my Fiance will have no problems at all in saying NO! 1 week Saturday and we will be there :-) Any comments, words of wisdom, advice, reassurance would be gratefully received lol xxxxxx

I got married on Friday and everything went perfectly! Isela knew exactly what she was doing and set everything up very nicely. Everything was so stress free and turned out amazing! Will write a review soon..

Hey ladies, Just a quick question. Are you going to top your wedding planner, if so how much ?? Tash

Hi there, I bought a pony tail extension with me as I thought my hair was too short, it turned out we couldn't use it as it was treated to stay straight but the salon knew how to use it, explained why we were unable to use it and in the end managed to do my hair how I wanted without using Antthing. The ladies in the salon are very good at what the do and as long as your extensions are real untreated hair they will be able to use them. Hope this helps Tash

Are there any past brides out there that took hair extensions with them.........if so was the Spa ok with using them? i have some clip in ones which I just want for volume really? Or are there any brides that are still yet to wed that are taking them? xx

Ooooh I am stuck as to what cake to choose so thanks for this i will have a look, Can anyone advise on the devine menu they chose for dinner and what it was like? xxx

Does anyone know if travels checks are accepted and a way to avoid some of the service charges or transaction fees?  Could you pay the bulk with travelers checks and the last little amount with a credit card?

Hi ladies, Can somebody confirm if the price to set up the chairs etc is included in the packages? And also, what is the difference between the eternity and divine dinner menu/choices? Thanks!

Good Morning,

I went through the same thing with emails except I did not get a response email advising a reply in 72 hours.

Im flying out on tuesday and will be getting married on the 7th and responses have been very few and far between but i have just been told that Pilar is pregnant and there is another lady dealing with weddings along with Deisy so I think they are a little behind with emails. Plus our new planner is on leave till tuesday. She is very good and seems on the ball so Im not terribly worried about it but they have been trying to cover Pilar so this is why emails have been very slow.

From what i have heard this is perfectly normal.

Hi Jules,

I heard that s how long it takes too. 

How was your wedding day, was it how you imagined and asked for?

Do you have any tips?

Where did you get married and have the reception?

Did you have just the photog that was included in the package and if so how was it, how long were they with you and would you recommend getting additional photog?/

Sorry about all the questions but im getting a little nervous as flying out in under 2 weeks.

Congratulations on your wedding 

Tash 

I Know we fly out in a couple of weeks. Have not heard from deisy or Pilar but im sure everything will be ok.

Hi Lauren,

Congratulations and I hope all your plans are going well.

Thank you very much for getting back to me i really do appreciate it, puts my mind at rest that you have been there and have seen some photos.

Thank you 

Hi All, Im getting married at bow Jade this October and getting a little nervous. Can anyone advise on how long you have the photog for with the Devine package, are they any good and would you suggest getting another photog on top of the one included. Really appreciate some help Tash 

Hi Tash, I'm getting married October 11th! We hired an outside photographer for 6 hours and are using the photog from the Divine package for our catamaran cruise rehearsal dinner. I visited Now Jade in May and they showed us some photos from the resort photographer and they looked decent!

Hi there on the 7th. What package have you gone for and where are you having your reception??

Hi , I am getting married on the 7th October '13 and getting a little nervous as had no correspondence with Pilar for a long time.

Does anyone know if by only having the photographer and videographer that is included in the Devine package is enough?

Does anyone know how long they stay with you and are the pictures and video any good?

Thank you Tash
