Hi everyone!

 

So, I am having a bit of a breakdown at this point and I am sincerely frustrated and do not know what to do.

 

I have been in contact with the Majestic since December of last year. I got my date, and for a bit there was a confusion as to reception costs etc...

 

Recently, the Majestic implented a flat rate of 500 per hour for rental of wet bar, sound system, open bar....

 

Since the beginning of this journey, I have told them I was bringing (or planning at least) 100 people. I was never told once that there was a cap on the 500 dollar flat rate. I checked my emails to make sure, and I was definitly never told.

 

I am now being told the price is 1000 for open bar and rental. Which means 2,500 for a two hour reception, along with the cost of my DJ which is 900  (DJ Mannia).

 

This is ridiculous to me as the only reason I was paying the 500 was for the convenience of my guests not having to walk to the bar, and being able to just enjoy the reception. Its bad enough I am paying for a full 4 hours from DJ Mannia and only getting 2 1/2 out of him...and now this? An increased rate of 1000 PER HOUR at a resort where my guests are ALREADY PAYING FOR ALL INCLUSIVE!!!!

 

Blegh.

 

Has anyone done anything else?

I am considering buying a bunch of alcohol and just hiring a bartender. Has anyone done this? How would I go about this?

I thought you pay for your wedding package based on the price/arrangements at time of booking, they can't just change things like that as they go along..that needs to be for the new brides only, not ones they have been working with for some time. It all depends on when these new arrangements were implemented. I would use that as my defense.

We reserved the Presidential Suite -- I am not sure if we will get the open bar for 3-4 hours, or buy alcohol and just get the bartender to serve it.  Not sure how open they would be to that, so we plan to figure it out when we get there...

I was originally going to have my reception at Majestic but felt like I was being ripped off with the constant changes in prices (where vendors here will typically quote you at time of booking and stick with the price). So in the end, I decided to have my reception at Jellyfish based on all the wonderful reviews and my correspondance has been nothing but positive with them as well. I have had a lot less stress since and am 100% happy with my decision.

 

Good luck and if I were you, I'd look into the Jellyfish restaurant.

I too was going with the Majestic and have moved over to the Jellyfish. I was so aggrevated and felt totally ripped off. At Jellyfish I know exactly what I am getting and how much I am paying for it. So relieved by their enthusiasm and involvement in our wedding. Very much not like the MC.

I have read great reviews about weddings at the JellyFish. I had looked into moving the wedding there but changed my mind as I like being close to my hotel room in case I need something. Plus we are only having 9 guests to our wedding (parents and siblings only) so we are just going to relax at the resort after the wedding dinner - listen to the resort band perform.

      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!
