@vav, i know we can say that 5-6ppl have food allergy...and dont eat seafood and get chicken..but i would rather be upfront, i need so many seafood and so many lamb etc..ughhh. i dont mind buffets actually. but since we will be eating at buffets the whole week, ppl may be tired of the buffet style and would really appreciate a sit down dinner..pls post some DIY pictures

Does anyone have pictures of "The Plaza" ceremony location?  I tried searching this thread but nothing comes up, I just filled out my request form for the dates in November, Im feeling a little behind schedule but am excited to have solid quotes and now to book the date with the resort.  Im leaning toward the Fountain but I dont remember seeing any pictures of another spot other then the Beach

im not sure what plaza you were talking about, it must be the fountain?

The plaza is in the front of the hotel right behind the lobby. I am sure it can be decorated very pretty but it is very plain. There are storefronts all around it and it is where the nightly performances are held. The restaurants are all surrounding the plaza. Not to be too blunt but it would not be one of my first choices as there is no privacy at all. Hope that helps.

 

I spoke with my travel agent today and she told me the reason for the lack of response from Claribel is because she is no longer working at the Now!!!!!!!!!! I can not even believe it because my wedding is 3 weeks away and I was not told about this. I have been in contact with Cristina and I met her this summer. She is very nice and I am assuming she is taking Claribel's role until they find another coordinator. Cristina is in charge of the weddings at Secrets but she is more than capable of working on our weddings. The thing that scares me is when I had a few questions for her she didn't know what I already had booked. I already booked the minister and she told me she would find out if he was available! WTF I already booked him. She also asked where I wanted my ceremony and reception and I wanted to scream! I just hope that everything is available and that Claribel was on top of everything before she left because I have already had enough disasters with this hotel I do not need any more anxiety!!!!!!

 

I did find out that if you use the wooden walkway at the fountain there are 6 sheppard hooks with poms and flower arrangement for canopy included in the $1500 fee.

 

I would recommend making payments before you get there as I heard that some credit cards charge international fees for overseas transactions that large so make sure you speak with your companies first and try to make a few payments so your fees are not insane. I have been asking about making payments for 3 months with no response and I just got a form to use this week. It's a little late for that!

 

But no worries! It is a beautiful hotel and as long as the food has been improved I wouldn't worry at all!!!! 3 weeks from today! I feel like I have so so so much to do!!! Aaaah!

I guess there is a good reason there is no pictures of people getting married at the Plaza then.  Does help for sure. Thanks

Skygirl, thanks for the info on the walkway.  That must have been the changes Christina has been working on for the walkway, thanks for letting us know!

Hopefully you'll all be able to open this file up since it's a pdf and check out the pricing. Figured it be easier than sending to you all one at a time.

But if it doesn't work, let me know.

Hi Alana,

 

Are you able to send me information on the cost break down for 2012 and the spa menu?  tamara.doering@gmail.com  I am less than a month away from my wedding day and the location that we chose to have our reception at is apparently no longer available (when less than a week ago I was told that it was).  And their dinner menu has changed from what I had picked as well.  I am so frustrated because I waited 3 wks to hear from Claribel and now I read a few posts ago that she is no longer even there.  Ugh.  This info will greatly help!  Thank You Alana.
