Any Ontario Brides out there??

[HeatherLynn83]

Hi everyone

 

Just got engaged before Christmas and we have always wanted to have a DW!

 

We want an amazing resort but affordable for our guests. Airfare + Resort + Taxes = $1000-1200 pp

 

Any help would be great!

 

Thank you so much

 

Heather

Hey Heather, Congrats on the engagement! I am from Sudbury,Ontario, and my budget for guests was about the same as yours! We decided on the RUI Ocho Rios. We are paying 1299 tax in for flight, transfers, transportation from the airport to the resort and of course it's an all inclusive resort. My travel agent is in Welland, Ontario and of course I'm in Sudbury. We have only talked on the phone and exchanged emails and so far so good! If you need any more information pm me, and good luck!

Congrats on your engagements. I'm from Toronto, ON and I'm having my destination wedding in Riviera Maya at Gran Bahia Principe and my travel agent quoted me $1103pp for double room for next November. I went with Destinationweddings.com and they assigned me a travel agent who's based in Kitchener. Happy planning!

Congratulations and welcome to the forum!!!

 

Mexico is a great destination choice as airfare from Toronto can be as low as $400 roundtrip, making your total budget per person totally feasible!!!   Check out CHOOSING A RESORT for some tips and recommendations when looking at your wedding venue!

We are still in the early planning stages. We are going to cancun this February to look at some resorts Wedding is in February 2014

Do the travel agents specialize in booking destination weddings?

[futuremrswarner]

I went to Flight Centre and spoke with someone from Sunwing as well, but they were not very helpful. I ended up going with the travel agent now, and she's amazing. She's been handling all the guests bookings for me so I don't have to worry about that, and she helped me negotiate my rate. So travel agent, I would say, comes highly recommended. I think the travel agents from BDW (Wrights Travel) would probably be pretty dependable as well, and probably know really well what they're doing.

Thanks! We are very excited! My travel agent specializes in destination weddings! She's been doing DW's for 28 years!
