Yeah I would like to know the answer to that too...I will be changing my last name and my son and myself will need to be added immediately to my FI insurance.

Would it affect changing name or anything "major?"

Who gives the copy and did Nicole explain the delay?

I agree one day to remember.

I went with the Suites based on brides reviews and also trip advisor reviews.  I thought the suites would give guests more options and comfort.

8 months?  Now that is ridiculous.  My husband is already asking how much longer and it hasn't even been a month.  I'm in no hurry to change for work but I do want to change over soem other things.  What in the world?  I assumed that the copy of the registry they give you isn't legit enough for anything.

You get a copy of the marriage license and are supposed to get an "official" copy sent to you 3 months after the wedding.  Next week will be 8 months and we don't have that document yet.  I heard back from Nicole last week that they were behind and hopefully mine will be signed very soon.  I was able to use the copy for changing insurance (I didn't change my name) without any questions.

I also went with the Suites based on Trip Advisor reviews and the fact that guests will have more options for restaurants, lounging areas, etc... Both hotels are supposed to be fantastic though and I think I read somewhere that the ceremony site on the beach at the Beach side is actaully a bit nicer.

Hi Starrysim! I'm also having commitment issues with the photographer! Good to know that she is a bit negotiable.

 

I booked the trip around April. I can't remember what I was quoted for the Beach but for the Suites I was quote $1550 tax included, double occupancy, all inclusive out of Toronto from Saturday to Saturday. I believe the early booking bonus was around $250/ person... The price for a single room was a couple hundred more. Guests have to put down a $200 deposit now and then remainder is due in October. I had to search like crazy to get these prices!

Those are great prices - Beach or Suites, and what day of the week departure?  How early did you book?

I negotiated about $200-300 off Misha's cheapest package (the 3 hour one).  I'm still afraid to book her, I can't seem to commit!

Thanks for the contact... I just emailed the general inquiry off their website so I'll try the direct email. The more photographers I look into the better I'll feel about the decision! Thanks again!

Beachbum,

We payed $1887 per person from Toronto through Air Canada Vacations. Plus a $250 early booking bonus, so it was under $1600 for the beach resort. The suites quote was $2100. I didn't want my guests paying more than $2000 for our wedding, and the beach looks fantastic too! So that's why we chose it. We booked everything in February. Now the prices have gone up, but I'm sure they will go down again before we leave, and a few people will book last minute
