Group Bookings!!!

[lauriewilde]

Hi Everyone,

I am new to this site and hoping I can some advice from all of you. I have booked to get married at Dreams Tulum the week of February 16, 2014. I have Save the Dates ready and a website created.

 

Our travel agent told us that Dreams Tulum only gives quotes for a 2 week time period and then my guests have to get a new quote after that. Could change the price could not?

 

Has anyone dealt with this constant changing quote? I thought I would get locked in for a longer amount of time?

 

Alos, what wording did you use on your Save the Dates to get people to book, I fell like I am so in advancce no one knows their schedules or holidays at work?

 

Last question. How far in advacne did you send actual invitations? Our Early Booking bonus in Aug 22, should I do it before than?

That seems odd!

Changing the quote sounds odd...it's a gamble because they could increase it as rooms are getting filled or dropping it if lots of rooms remain.  What did you end up doing?

[TammyWright]

when we do group quotes, the rooms and rates are held for much longer until the client releases the rooms.

 

It doesn't sound right so I would need more details.

 

Was a group contract signed?

 

Was this directly with the resort or through a travel agency?

that sounds fishy

I have gone to a few travel agents looking for pricing and the travel agent told me it depends on the hotel and who we book with (Air Canada, Sunwing, Signture etc)

 

We were told 2 weeks on some and 90 days on other

be careful for sure!

so much to consider that I have never realized once I started looking into the destination wedding. All worth it in the end though.

I think you need to get more information...the information they have provided seems to be incorrect.

I think you should talk to someone else
