Moon Palace 2012 Brides

[mrsjdh2b]

Good Morning Ladies-

 

Well my wedding plans are being put on hold for a little while. My momma passed out yesterday (reasons still to be determined) and fell flat on her face. She woke up in a pool of blood. After several hours of tests, x-rays and ct scans there are no broken bones (we were extremely concerned about her nose) and just some minor whiplash from where her head bounced on the floor. Her face is badly bruised and she has a "razzberry" under her left eye from where she slid across the tile. Thank God there was nothing worse. But anyways I'm putting things on hold until after I get back from going home on checking on her. She's going to be having some test done on her heart to see if it was the culprit. She didn't experience any dizziness or wasn't light headed prior to passing out. So until I get her all fixed up I'm going to put things on hold for a little while......wedding can wait my momma's health is way more important! Can't have a wedding if she's not there.

 

For the ladies that have been dealing with the set up fees.......do any of you have paperwork that states the $65 for the set up? I think our contract stated that. If so I'll be fighting for that if we decided to have more than the cocktail hour.

 

Emma - you should qualify for unlimited private events since you already have 91 nights. You should be able to find it under the wedding amenities section on the website. I just looked it up. The only thing that is specified now compared to when the rest of us booked our weddings is the time allotted for each day. They only let you have 3 hours a day for events = one hour cocktail hour and a 2 hour dinner. You and your hubby will get 7 free nights as well. Congrats to you!!! I know we are all hoping for the same kind of turn out with our guest.

 

Happy planning ladies!! I'm still going to be checking in on the site to keep up with everyone!

Welcome and Congrats!!!  At the beginning I was in contact with Janina.  You should get a coordinator soon.

YAY!!!!  That is awesome!  I really like that idea!  Congrats to you guys!!!!

I'm going to PM you!

I received my 90 day phone call back in January and was told she would get working on what we discussed and send everything to my email, but I have not received anything. I emailed her a few weeks ago and still nothing. I guess it makes sense to not receive any emails from her if she is leaving. But they should have had someone else contact me though. Don't they realize they are dealing with peoples weddings and brides are not going to just wait around to the last minute to hear any details regarding their wedding? I suppose I should contact MP and see if I can get another coordinator!

OH my!!!  I am soo sorry to hear that!  I hope she is doing better!  Health definitely trumps wedding planning!  Thinking of ya!

I contacted Janina and she answered.... Not entire sure HOW to respond besides being highly irritated.

 

"Hi Janina, originally you told me the set-up fee was $65, will this still be honoured?  I am hearing from other Moon Palace brides that booked after January 2012 that it has gone up to $200".

 

 

 

 

Her response was:

 

 

 

 

 

Good morning Ms. Yvonne,

All our rates are subject to change.

The wedding planner will be assisting you with this.

Regards

Janina

 

 

 

 

[mrsbruff2b]

Janina responded back again saying to confirm with the "planner"...  So does that mean it's subject to the planner you get?  So some will charge $65, some will charge $200? 

 

=/

I cant find anywhere Im my "contract" signed Nov 7th about the charges to set up. Everything else that says $65 there is an " * "saying all rates are subject to change.

My friend was married 5 years ago at a Palace Resort and she got pictures included in her complimentary wedding package!!

 

 

[Smoylan]

Oh My Gosh, that is awful! You are definitely doing the right thing!!!

Good Luck with everything!

Who knows...that is frustrating...I'm upset about the increase, but I booked after 2/1/2012, so I don't have a chance to get them to consider the $65.  But now I am trying to decide if it's even worth it to bring my own stuff down for $200 or if it will be cheaper to just rent the chair ribbons at 4/piece and the table runners at $7/piece.  It would save me from buying and packing everything.  I just didn't except to have to spend over $200 for simple decorations.

I actually just bought a bunch of cala lilies at Michael's because they were 40% off and looked real. I am hoping this will not be an issue because I have not consulted with the wedding planner.

 

Luckily, I have a wedding decorator who is a friend of the family that will make them into bouquets.

 

How many were you using per bouquet?

I made my bouquets from fake cala lilys at Hobby Lobby and they were the plastic/rubbery flowers which looks so real and they didnt get smashed in our suit case!
