Hello Ladies!

 

We have officially booked our wedding at the OGX for April 1 2010!

I am so excited!

 

FI and I have upgraded to the Royal Club. I think there will be a few of our friends that upgrade as well - question for those of you that have stayed there before - is the Royal Club block of rooms very far from the rest of the resort? I don't want to be too seperated from our guests!

 

I will try to attach the prices that I was sent to this forum..

We were offered the option of upgrading to the Royal Club when booking our packages. I think you just have to ask - and pay a little extra

[rainmaker002]

Has anyone looked at simply paying to upgrade their guests to a Junior suite from a deluxe room instead of paying for the wedding package? From Vancouver, it looks as though the cost to upgrade is about $150 per suite (for ten suites that would be $1,150) as opposed to $2000+ for the wedding package itself. They claim to throw in the wedding package if you have 10 junior suites booked!

 

Anyone have experience with that?

 

We're looking at getting married there in January 2010. We had originally wanted to go to the Blue Bay Grand but the pricing is just not terribly competitive and they have not been great communicators.
