On the Majestic colonial FB page a girl told me she got this:  Our rates were $199 for single occupancy, $137 for a double and $99 for a triple occupancy   - so I am reaching out to her TA. What prices are you  gals NOT in canada getting for your rates? What TA are you using? 

 

We are flying out of San Francisco thus airfare is going to be very pricey so I NEED to make sure we get a good resort rate especially since I'm a BIG TIME bargain hunter and the lower the price the more likely people are going to be able to come =)

I just checked, and the rate I can get for February 2013 is:

 

Jacuzzi Junior Suite:  $137 per person per night in a double room, $123 in a triple, and $115 in a quad.  RT airport transfer is $50.

 

Majestic Junior Swim Up:  $148 per person per night in a double

 

Colonial Junior Suite with outdoor jacuzzi: $158 per person per night in a double

 

Every 21st passenger is free. (Money for room is credited back to bride/groom.)  Also, one free round of golf for any guest staying 5 nights or more.

Thank you I wrote down her information.

on the Majestic colonial website there's a wedding link you email that department and a wedding coordinator will contact you. Just let them know what date you want. I told her the date, the time I wanted, the area for the ceremony and the area I wanted to the reception so all that I wanted was available. ( Thanks to this site I knew all my options and knew what I wanted) = )

Also,

 

How did you pick your date? I'm thinking early March 2013 but other then that I couldn't care less when it is...does your date hold any significance to you?

So I see lots of you are picking the gazebo and not the beach...if you don't mind me asking what is your reason for this?

 

Thanks,

Past brides who have had their rececption at the colonial wet bar.....did you hang paper lanterns?! I'm STILL trying to pick what sizes I should buy. Some brides have posted 12, 16 & 18" but I'm wondering if I some use some 8 or 10" as well? Decisions, decisions.....

I'm having a religious ceremony. That's why I choose the gazebo. I also find the gazebo very pretty.

Hi Nicole!!!

 

I just noticed you're getting married two days after me at the Elegance.  How's the planning coming along?

It took us forever to choose resorts, but we couldn't be happier with our decision.

 

Good luck and don't be afraid to post any questions that you may have, we are all here to help each other!!

Oopps...Correction:  Above posting should read:  Hello Caitlin!!!  

 

 

 

Welcome Nicole and Congrats.

We decided on the gazebo because it is so elegant, especially when done up for a wedding. 

Plus, that is the spot where my FI proposed to me

 

 

And I personally am not a fan of the wind, and it can get pretty windy down at the Ocean.  Plus with a 1pm ceremony, the beach is more populated at that time. Even though they do a wonderful job keeping your ceremony spot private, there are still onlookers and I'm kinda shy and would hate to draw attention.

 

But both spots are perfect!!  And it all depends on the individual couple.  Let us know what you decide to go with on your special day.
