Has anyone seen the new 2012/2013 "Wedding Collection" Catalogue from Transat? I just received one at a wedding show, and didn't think a whole lot of it until I started looking more closely.

 

They offer 3 of their own "exclusive" wedding packages that are simpler, and more affordable than some of the packages the resorts offer. Just comparing the wedding package at the hotel I'm looking at (Ocean Blue & Sand), to the three packages they offer for the various hotels they work with (Ocean Blue being one of them)....it looks like a better deal for sure!

 

I'm just afraid it is too good to be true, or that there is a catch. What does everyone else think? Has anyone booked this, or looked into it further?

 

If you don't have a cataloque, check it out online:

It does say you have to have 12 passengers booked southbound and northbound on the same flight/same gateway. That there, may mean I can't use it unfortunately. I will have 20+ guests at least I believe, but they could be spread out over 3 gateways across Canada.

 

Just wanted people to be aware of this, as it does look like a great deal (potentially)...and I am wondering what everyone thinks of it.

 

Cheers!

We looked into Transats wedding packages when we choose them for our travel.  Ultimately, we ended up going with the resort packages just because the wedding planners are way more familiar with their own packages rather then transats.  Also, our travel agent advised us to use the resorts if at all possible, just because it can be way more to deal with when you are dealing with transat for the wedding packages plus the resort.  In the end we choose to go with the resort just because it was a lot more simple.

We are using the euphoria package through transat for barcelo maya. The package is $1500 vs $3500 with the resort. But there were some things not included like $20/person over 24 people and then $27.50/person (for everybody not just over 20 people) to have a beach reception. Bit the resort charges $66 extra per person over 15. The reception is only 2 hours vs 3 hours and you pay per person for extra hour and 3 courses vs 4 courses. You get a cocktail hour and the resort package doesn't have that. I used that to substitute an extra hour and course for the reception.  Are you confused yet? We ended up saving $2000 but there was a LOT of math to figure out what was included, extra charges and such. You'll have to contact your resorts WC to figure it out for yourself

Yeah, I think depending on the pricing and person limit/extra pp. charge of the resort - these packages with Transat can save a lot of money. For me with Ocean Blue, for example (my top choice resort right now) it costs 1300.00 more through the hotel, and the transat package includes a couple of extra perks.

 

I'll certainly have to figure out which was is best once I narrow it down to a final resort choice. If it saves me over $1000.00 it might be worth it to have to deal with both Transat AND the resort to save the money. I'll just be sure to get everything in writing, with pictures/examples through email to be clear....and bring it all with me so there are no surprises, or extra charges.

      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!
