Bad News!!! My vendors weren't paid

Hi Ladies! Got SUPER BAD NEWS ON MY UPCOMING WEDDING... upcoming like in freakin 12 days,

my poor wedding travel lady calls me and tells me that the booking agent - exotic escapes censored.gif, has taken all of my money and NOT paid any of the vendors... meaning... my reservations were about to be canceled!!!!

 

So she found another company, Legends who would do it for me at the same price. HOWEVER I would have to dispute the charges and somehow have the funds held and then recharge the payment to the new company... SERIOUSLYhuh.gif

 

First of all, the credit card is a debit card with a visa logo... there is nothing to hold. Exotic Escapes has our Fckin money!!! Its not credit!!!!!! Anyhow, I just called the hotel directly and asked them to quote me the price and do you know what? Its almost 1k usd CHEAPERhuh.gif So I told the lady to book it under my name with NO travel agent associated and we will have to use our credit card for the time being, I am so hoping I can get my interest rate back once we go through the disputing and contacting our travel insurance!!! I cant believe this!!!! I never thought I would be "That Bride" that gets screwed!!!! What did I do to deserve thishuh.gifhuh.gif

OK - call the bank ASAP and start the dispute - is this just your stuff or your guests too?

The people who ripped me off, wont answer!!!!! I just sent an email. We shall see. I am livid. (yet still calm) thanks ladies for ALL of your support!

I am SO SORRY you are dealing with this!

 

I had a travel issue before my wedding. Nothing near as drastic. I finally decided that maybe I'd be out some money but no amount of money is worth letting the stress ruin such a happy time. In the end it was all resolved by the time I got back & we even got more money back.

 

Congrats on the pregnancy! This is such a wonderful time in your life. I hope shady vendors don't overshadow your joy.

 

Let us know if there is anything we can do to help you fix this.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
