"Go Travel South" - Out of Business

It's definitely affecting me in more ways than one. My fiance was EMPLOYED by them, AND our wedding of 43 people was booked through them. :0( So now we're down to one salary, and we have about 45 days until our wedding to figure everything out. Needless to say, it's been a pretty crazy few days for us. :0(

OMG Taratoons!!! that's insane!!! I wish you all the best & hope things work out ok! A change doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing - I know a couple of the girls who's weddings got cancelled last year bc of the piggy flu & ended up having amazing weddings that they said they wouldn't change for anything!! I'm sure once the stress of re-planning passes you will have an amazing time!!! Sending lots of positive stress free vibes your way ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks Bachata Bride, I'm trying to stay positive (even though I'm a total pessimist by nature). For example, now our guests arrive at the resort around 11 am instead of midnight, and they leave later on the last day. It just sucks that it's not just the wedding, it's his job too. At this point though, it looks like everyone will be getting their money back, but it can take up to 3 months. We have re-booked everyone onto another flight successfully, and are just trying to get a room rate and organize a transfer. Thank God FI knows his way around the industry, he's done great! Thank you so much for the support. :0)

what a bummer!
I second that. I used to work for a bank and that was one thing I learned- credit cards give you that extra protection that you just don't get from your bank account (in Canada, anyway, not sure about the States but it's probably the same idea). I've been trying to pay for everything with Visa as I go, just in case. Plus that way you have your Visa statement as a backup if you ever lose a receipt.

I'm so sorry for anyone who's been affected by this. I hope that everything works out for anyone who had their wedding arranged through these guys. This is pretty scary!

I always like to cover all my bases and wanted to know if you have to have a protection plan on your credit card in order for the credit card company to reimburse you if something like this happens?

 

Also are you covered if you have travel insurance? What if you bought the insurance through your travel agenthuh.gif

    • 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!
    • 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!
