Just make sure you have the back-up plan all set and everything to your liking. We didn't see the back up room until we have to begin the ceremony. They pretty much just moved everything that you paid for indoors and not compensate or anything for the view that you lost.

What was your Plan B location? Josefina showed us the Plan B for the Casa Magna. It was covered, but still outside. I think it had a fountain. It was the best Plan B of all the hotels we saw. It still sucks that you have to pay full price for something you weren't expecting.

I am looking at the Marriot Gazebo for my 2/11/2010 wedding. Josefina said she can't book it until 10-8 months prior...has anyone else heard of this? I'd like to book it at least a year in advance. Also, has anyone had their reception there, if so, how many people did you have attend? I'm looking at 30-35 guests and I would like something intimate and nice. Let me know!

I am going to be getting married at the CasaMagna in Feb. and I am so excited. Everything has been great so far but I ran into a problem this week with my room block. My guests have found a better offer that includes breakfast on-line and are reserving their rooms without using my group code. I emailed my WC and she said there is nothing they can do about it and the rooms that my guest reserve online do not count toward our room block. I am furious, how can I tell my guests I would prefer that they would pay $32 a night more so we don't get stuck paying for rooms that were not used under our block. My WC said she would talk to her supervisors and see if they will change their minds but she doubts it. I can't believe it.

 

So I guess it is something to look at before you sign any contracts and make sure you put a clause in it to not experience this situation.

 

I will keep you posted with this situation.

Yikes! I did the same thing (getting married there in April), but I think that most people have booked through the hotel. I can't believe they aren't being flexible! If they are being stubborn and won't budge, maybe then you could make up for the price difference?? It's better than paying for unused rooms. Let me know how it all works out. Good luck!

Well they have decided to work with us and they have lowered our room rates so it is $3 cheaper to book through our room block, and they are going to honor this price for all of our guests that have already booked their rooms. I am very relieved because that would have been very expensive.
