OFFICIAL NOW Jade Wedding Thread

We are 100 days out!!! We did not reserve rooms and now I have about a dozen people left to book and the resort is full!!! Anyone else have this problem???

Have them book at the Now Sapphire. They're a little pricier, but it's a sister site so there's a free shuttle and you can go to restaurants at either resort.

I was told we would have to buy day passes for guests staying at Now Sapphire and it was a 14 minute cab ride?

[A7Xtrish]

It's about a 5 minute ride. And unless they changed it or there's a fee for wedding guests and not just hotel guests?

Are you using rectangle or circle tables for dinner? The circle tables are 54" across that seat up to 10 (but that's pretty tight) I'd say 8 max. I had a rectangle sweetheart table that I had was 18" x72"

If you're in the bamboo room, they set up the round tables as a u shape with the sweetheart table against the wall with the bamboo. Don't worry about the set up so much. Just figure out if you want rectangle or round tables and figure out your seating chart. You can go over the setup with your wedding coordinator when you meet before the wedding. I believe the floor plan is shown on the first page of this thread under reception locations.

 

I got the guitarist at the cocktail hour. He was great and played modern love song/basic wedding music for a reception.I didn't give him any music...he just plays whatever he knows.

 

I had a DJ from Disco Movil and he was awesome! It was actually cheaper to use him than using the resort DJ because we wanted the lighting, mics, and projector...cold fireworks were a plus. It was $850 for 4 hours + the vendor fee.  I've heard of other brides using ipods and being perfectly fine with that. The only thing was that not all the music comes in at the same volume because you downloaded it and someone may need to man it. Just email the wedding coordinator about speakers, mics, etc. Every wedding package is different and you may pay extra for these items.

This is great thank you.

We are using the round tables for our guests, but I would like to use the large rectangle table for us and the wedding party... If there's room?

My paperwork is due in exactly one week! Ahhh

Can i ask how much you were charged for the outside vendor fee?

Girl, you have no idea how much I have to do. I work better under pressure I guess. Can you email me that price list please? [email protected]

Thank you so much!!

Could i also have the price list please!!!! [email protected]

[Natata]

Outside vendor fee is 350... I just hired disco movil as well and wit the vendor fee it's still cheaper then using resort dj ..cut price in half

The music included In the divine can be used in ceremony or cocktail hr? So if I use guitarist for cocktail hr I will have no music during ceremony?

For anyone that has had an outside hair and make-up team come to the hotel, is that also subject to the vendor fee?  I've seen people mention the vendor fee applying to an outside DJ, band, and florist, but i haven't seen any mention of the vendor fee on hair/make-up.  I'm assuming it does, but just wanted to double check. Thanks!
