Hi again, From what I remember to upgrade to bouquet 90 was $88 and number 91 was $120 plus taxes. I have chosen 164, looks lovely, but think it will come up small!!

Does any past brides or current planners have any advice on how to avoid the vendors fee for photography? I am using Sungold and associates and was thinking of paying for the photographer to stay a night as a guest to avoid the $800 fee...any advice?

I think there are quite a few of us in the same position as yours. I plan to try and negotiate with the WC because that is one of the highest vendor fees around! I'll be sure to let everyone know if I make any progress

What I tell my clients is I'm responsible for the travel aspect of the wedding and handling any question your friends and family might have aswell as coordinating any special needs/ requests with the hotel or airline. When it comes to the wedding planning at the resort, that is best handled directly with the resort wedding coordinator. If you have a quote that your are happy with I'd say lock it in

Hope I've helped!

 

Hey STemple,

I was just wondering, since you are a travel agent...firstly, do price drops happen frequently?  We got a quote that we think it's okay, but we are really hoping that it drops.  My TA told me that we are eligible for the price drop guarantee...and I remember reading somewhere that it's best for me to keep an eye on the prices and notify my TA when they do drop.  Is there any particular day of the week that they usually happen on?  I'm gonna try to commit to checking it once a week...

For any past brides that used The Grill for your reception...can you tell me what the Mixed Grill was like?  I have guests that are a mix of meat and fish eaters, plus others that are vegetarians.  I'm just trying to envision what to expect as the menu file I received doesn't give the details on what the mixed grill contains.

 

Much appreciated as always...!!  On the 3 month count down and starting to feel the nerves kick in!!
