That dress is gorgeous! It is definitely appropriate!

Thanks! That's really helpful!

Hello ladies!  It has taken me a good 3 weeks to get through all the posts here but it has been well worth it! I'm getting married on 2/19/11 and have learned so much from all of you ladies! Thank you all for making the effort to spread the info!

 

I have a few questions...how has everyone accumulated enough points to open linked documents? I swear I post often, however I am no where near 150! If anyone has any points they can donate (I saw that you can do that??) or any ideas that would be so helpful!

 

I have read on a few posts that many of you ladies have created word documents to outline the specifics of your "wedding plans" for your wedding coordinator.  Since I can't open any docs, if you have created one can you please send it to my email? cgeris@gmail.com -- I would REALLY appreciate it!

 

Also, I am doing the complimentary package and probably just the dinner reservation at one of the restaurants.  I have asked my WC if we can reserve an additional restaurant for the rehearsal dinner the day before the wedding.  I haven't heard anything back yet -- will they do that? I don't think i'm going to get any "free" cocktail hour or reception/events...so will they allow you to book more then one reservation at a restaurant? Would they charge for it?

 

Thanks ladies!

Welcome!  I try to post a lot too but 150 just never feels like its going to happen.  I've had people send me stuff on email though...everyone is pretty good about that.

thanks for all the useful info on this thread.

Hello again ladies!

 

Has anyone here received the free cocktail hour and/or private reception if you didn't do the group room booking through the resort? I went through a travel agent (Liberty Travel) and am wondering if I should try to see if they will accept the rooms we have booked through the TA.  Is it worth the effort?

 

Thanks!

You should have your TA check it out for you. I'm pretty sure it is mentioned by some tour operators. It's definitely worth the effort. At least then you get a private event and it doesn't cost anything. The cocktail hours starts at $400, so wouldn't you rather either save that money or put it towards something else. It's also a great activity for your guests while you take pictures.

Great thanks! I did ask the TA in passing, but since all of our guests have not paid the balance in full (we paid the deposit and the rest is due end of December) she said she can't look into it until then.  It seems that getting anything "free" requires a battle so I figured we weren't going to get an easy "yes" at that point anyway but i'll definitely work on being persistent when the time comes that we can start asking!

Cgeris, I am going through an outside travel agent. Only one of my guests have put a deposit down and my TA already secured the group promotions for me.  From what I understand, these promotion are available with any group contract whether that is directly  through the resort or an outside travel agent.  I would have him/her look into this sooner than later.
