@Wafflesmom @perianjay @@calgarybride2015 okay so good news! i do get most (not all) the perks you've received :)

 

One of the three: one hour cocktail, photo credit or spa package.

 

As well as the Transat group offer: bride and groom receive a $500 voucher to be used towards future travel, priority check-in at the airport, priority luggage tag, complimentary seat assignment for the bride and groom,  an extra 10kg baggage allowance, two 200ml glasses of champagne on departure, a reserved overhead compartment for the bride’s wedding gown, onboard announcement (thanks, but no thanks ;) ). AS well as a $100 credit to be used for a pre-booked excursion.

 

Planning a DW is VERY time consuming. It's impossible to focus on anything that isn't our wedding. As always, I appreciate ALL the help :)

2016 bride here as well! We won't be booking our date until the new year as once it's booked, our guests only have 90 days to put down their deposit at the guaranteed rate. I wouldn't want them to hav

I used air Canada so I have no advice. But I know their promos always change too. Also depends on the size of your group and first come first serve. Ie I got first class but if it was already full when I booked I was SOL. Glad you get some nice extras. Priority boarding was a treat in Mexico as it was super busy there.

That's the thing...I haven't booked yet! The resort is picked just trying to figure out the best time. I have quotes for March 2016, May 2016 and October 2016. I am leaning towards May. Prices are slightly higher than October, but less chance of rain.

 

How ridiculous is it that I can't wait to update my "profile" on here to say my location and date lol

Hi!! We just got engaged a week ago and are already starting to plan for a destination wedding the end of Madch 2016:) we are deciding between Punta Cana and Riviera Maya. I am looking at Dreams Resorts and Riu Palaces in both locations. I am having the hardest time estimating a budget because we will likely have 40-50 people and all of the packages include 20-30. We are trying to determine how much extra we will pay to have a private reception and dance with that number. We are open too eating in one of the ala carte restaurants, but it's hard to find info on pricing for larger groups. I'd love any help or advice!

I was in your shoes a month ago wondering about the budget, but after speaking with the WC when I visited the resort last month, I feel more confident in what the wedding will actually cost. She was amazing and helped me break each and every cost down (event to the sashes on the chairs!), but of course I had to take some time in advance to think of the things I wanted to have at the wedding and put together a huge list of questions. If you'd like to discuss this more, feel free to send me a private message.

I'm a June 2016 bride! We are getting married in Cuba and already placed our deposits and put out our invitations so that everyone can put their own deposits down and take full advantage of the payment plan ^.^

 

We went through a travel agent and they were fantastic and got us a great with for 1132 (tax incl), with every 11th free and all the air transat bells and whistles for the bride/groom. I'm really happy and feel like i can relax ^.^. I'll be spreading out costs and slowly buying everything over the next year :)

Varadero! At the Iberostar Laguna Azul. We're flying from Toronto :D

 

Where did you get engaged in Cuba?

Wow you scored with that price!!! Awesome.

 

We went to Varadero and stayed at the Melia Las Antilles. It was an adult only.

      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!
