Seriously Free? How is that possible?

Has anyone heard anything yet? My TA wants me to ask Erika first before she calls her Riu rep. Which I just sent Erika an email. I wish my TA could just take care of this for me....UGH!!!!

I heard back from Paola!!

 

The news looks good for me. Here is what she wrote:

 

Thank you for contacting The RIU Wedding Sales Department.

 

Yes if you have 5 or more rooms you qualify for this package. Ministers or Judges fees are not included on the package . One Month before your wedding date you will need to send a list of your reservations as for the bride and groom and also guests.

 

In case that are less rooms the package will be automatically changed to the one who covers the amount of guests.

 

This 5 rooms will need to be booked at Santa Fe.

 

Please let me know your confirmation code in order to make modifications.

 

 

 

Hopefully the rest of you will be successful also!!! Good Luck! I am so happy because we really did not want all the extra's that came with the package. Now we have more money to spend in Cabo having fun!!!

Thats great news!! I wonder if that only applies to a certain number of wedding guests....hmmmm..I sent an email stating how many guests we were having...which all are staying at The Santa Fe, so we will see....I have 30 plus guests....

[Kelly C]

Paola just emailed me also. She asked for a list of my guest. So hopefully I will get the same thing. I told them I wasn't expecting anything free just aleast equal to what they are giving. Keep your fingers crossed.

[Kelly C]

I just heard back from her... All she said is that she is sorry but it starts in Nov. UGH!!!! I once again stated I wasn't looking for free just an equal package. We will see. I have a call into my TA also.
