HI @@JJ785220,

Welcome to the forum!! I agree with the other ladies about how to determine pricing. I Still don't know exactly how much the end cost for the wedding will be, but we started by selecting a packaged from the wedding list ( found on Barcelos website). We made our package decision based on how much additional the per person price would be ( its different for each package). We are going with the Mint Breeze Package with starts at $2600 and is additional $30 per person after 20 people.  

I am currently in the process of choosing the cake and menu for the reception. After this, I will began choosing, Décor, DJ, Photographer etc. and this is probably where the other costs will start to add up outside of the chosen package.

If you have any other questions while you're deciding let me know, and ill do my best to answer. Happy Planning!

Wow @@TaraW,

I cant believe the MVP sales rep was so rude and pushy!! I'M glad you are doing your research! I haven't yet come across ant frustrating experiences but I'm sure glad you let us know about the receptions site issue. I will be prepared for that now.  I cant wait to see what the options are!

Thank you for sharing

Wow @@TaraW thats so exciting!! I'm stlll struggling to decide on what 4 violin songs to choose for the ceremony lol. I better get moving. Can you email me the bouquet, centerpiece and cake documents please?! I'd love to get a headstart on that part! My email is cari.brittany@@gmail.com

Thank you so much!!

When your WP has an answer for you, will you please let me know? I'm scared to even mention it to my WP (I have Yasmin).

So I finally received confirmation that you do NOT have to pay a day pass fee if your guests stay at any Barcelo Resort. It was misinfo from my travel agents tour guide company. But very good news thankfully!

@@yooyooo,

I will let you know as soon as I hear back from her. Thank you @@TaraW for that information! I will confirm with Estrella as well. That would be very helpful to many of my guests her who prefer not to stay on the Palace side!

@@yooyooo,

I thought it was insane too, especially since many other posts stated differently. I will double check with my WC ( I have been assigned Estrella!). The way it's worded does make it seem like you should be able to stay at any hotel within the resort.

Hello all!

I have booked my wedding for March 2016. I'm so excited! I've been searching and searching for answers in this forum and found it so helpful that I decided to start posting myself.

 

We chose the Mint Breeze for gazebo ceremony and the banquet room reception. We have some older guests and needed the AC and privacy. We're expecting about 20 adults and 5 children at the most.

 

My new wedding planner (original one left the resort since we talked last) is Yasmin and she's pretty good at responding, but sometimes she doesn't answer all my questions fully.

 

Does anyone know about the banquet rooms? Are there more than one, and if so, what are the differences? What do you think a good table arrangement is for our number of guests? I know I definitely want a small head table (just for the couple), a separate cake table, and use rectangular tables for guests... kind of like the one in the picture below (except I think our head table is a rectangular table).

 

This may be a silly question. My fiance and I will be staying at the Palace, and our other guests at other Barcelo resorts (mostly Tropical). On the wedding day, are other guests allowed to come help me get ready in my room in the Palace? Also, since I'll be getting ready in my room in the Palace, where would my fiance get ready? Does he need to go to another guest's room in the resort?

 

Thanks for any and all advice!@@TaraW

 

My wedding is in March 2016 and I started planning a year in advance as well, being a type A personality myself! Haha

I booked my wedding at the Palace for May 2016 using the Mint Breeze Package also! many of the previous posts state that guests were able to stay at any Barccelo Hotel and attend a palace wedding, but upon my booking I was advised that any guest who doesnt stay at the Palace will have to pay a $100 day pass fee to attend. Maybe they wont be so strict with guests assisting you on your wedding day. Happy Planning!
