Hi VeronicaS!

 

We wanted to do November, but because I have a teacher who is one of my bridesmaids it was too hard to get the time off in November for her so we chose July instead. Our official date is July 2, 2013!

 

Planning is going well, took a while to figure it all out but we are finally getting there. We've decided on the Riviera Gazebo, dinner at an a la carte restaurant, and a private beach reception after dinner. We are still trying to decide on the restaurant we will pick which we hope to confirm by the end of this week. It looks like we will have a group of around 30-40 for us, our final RSVP date is March 15 so we will know for sure then! We have a great travel agent who is working on our group rates thats been a huge help! She's made our life a lot easier

 

How is planning going for you? Have you made any decisions?

I know what you mean, it took us a while to figure things out too. It is hard to make decisions without actually been there. But we have finally booked the time and places. We are having the ceremony at the Sunset Gazebo at 4 and then dinner at Chill out lounge at 7 (We might change it to 6 though). I was also thinking on having our final RSVP date about 4 months before out wedding to start buying and finalizing things, but was scared that it was too early. Now that you mention it I feel more comfortable, and I am thinking on sticking to the time frame. As of now we have around 50 confirmed. 

And that is great you have a great travel agent, it totally makes a different! We are really happy with ours too. She actually did a site visit a month ago, and talked to Emma the wedding planner at the resort and helped us decide which was the best place for our wedding, as well as room for our guests. It was her first time at this resort, and she said we made a great decision! so good for us!! =)

By the way, were are you flying from?

That is so awesome that your agent was able to do a site visit! Are you able to tell me what made you choose the Sunset Gazebo? I've been going back and forth trying to figure out the best one to have our ceremony in! Its so hard when you are not there or you havent been there to really sort everything out and make the best decisions.

 

We've also been second guessing the dinner at an a la carte restaurant and private beach reception after because we havent been able to find much feedback on the private beach reception. We are thinking we might switch to the chill out lounge as well! Ahh.. I'm so bad at making decisions when I cant wrap my head around all the details in person.

 

We are going to be flying out of Toronto - Pearson International. How about you?

 

We were hesitant on March 15 being the final RSVP date, but at the same time we realized how much will have to get done in the 3 months after we have our final numbers so we decided it was OK. The final payments for our group travel are on April 26th so we figured by March 15 most people will know if they are coming or not (hopefully!) 50 is a great number!!

 

Are you doing the Jr Suites or Swim Up rooms?

 

Have you gone dress shopping yet?

I booked my upcoming April wedding through Sunwing (signatures) 12 rooms booked and was offered all these perks. I'm just wondering about the $500 anniversary credit. How will I receive this voucher? I booked through a travel agent and would prefer to never deal with her again!!
