Prices are really high right now for July-Sept 2010 (well, Sept pricing isn't even available yet! But July and August are very high).

 

I've been looking for a long time and we recently booked a non-wedding trip to Cuba. The trend generally seems to be that they drop significantly when you get more like 6 months out from the departure date. For example, Grand Princess I've seen as low as $900 out of Edmonton for 1 week this past summer. If you look at their quotes for next summer, they are over twice that!

 

So, how do you decide when to take the plunge and actually book? I don't want to overpay by $800 or more. And frankly, I don't want to ask people to spend over $2,000 because I don't think that's reasonable for a 4-5 star in the Mayan.

 

But I also have to book the wedding itself at whichever resort we choose... Eek!

Its a hard decision to make. My wedding is at Dreams Cancun On August 10th next year. When i was originally looking at pricing i was getting rediculous quotes! The benefit to booking early enough in advance is early booking bonuses. I was able to get a quote form Air Canada Vacations flying out of Calgary to Dreams Cancun for $1908 a person because of an early booking bonus of $460 per person. The downside of early booking bonuses is that they have to be paid in full much earlier. For my quote which i just recieved a couple weeks ago and am paying deposits for, everyone has to pay in full by the end of November. This means our guest list is going to be smaller than we expected but it was worth it to me to get the resort i loved for a decent price.

 

Basically, although you may get a better deal if you wait until months before the wedding, I could not wait that long and not stress out way too much!

 

I would suggest looking into early booking bonues and if you dont already have one I would highly suggest using a travel agent, they are invaluable when it comes to getting a great price!!

 

Let me know if you have any questions!!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
