We almost decided on a place to get married and then we started a dialogue about group rate and the contract we've been sent is more per night than we can find on the hotels own website and Expedia. What are we missing? This doesn't seem right...

Thanks

Are you working with a reputable TA? If so- ask her why the discrepancy. If you are comparing the exact dates, then a good TA should be able to get you the same rates.

I don't know which resort you are planning to get married at but when I have asked about guests being required to stay at the resort it doesn't matter how you book the rooms (i.e. expedia.com, timeshare, directly through the resort, etc.) maybe check with the coordinator to see what their policy is.

We thinking Barcelo Grand faro and now I think about it I'm not sure there is a room requirement to have the wedding there. I just assumed that we would be able to get a group rate to encourage our guests to stay there. Only for the free package does there seem to be a room requirement

Without using a TA you will likely not get a great rate. In addition you will risk your group being split if resort sells out and will miss out on any extra bonuses great TAs have in the arsenal for brides. For normal travel I never use a TA but for a wedding I wouldn't have even considered going without!

Thanks,

Sorry I'm a newbie, how do you find a TA? Do they charge? I will have a lot of family flying from UK an Australia, does that complicate using a TA?

Are you in canada or us? Each operate differently when it comes to all inclusive.

If you are from us wright travel runs this board and is great... If you are Canadian I can point you in the right direction to someone fabulous. She is a TA and destination wedding planner and doesn't charge!

We are using a group rate, but compared to our guests that are able to book the flight and room together is not all that great of a deal.

 

For us it works out- because we were not able to book together, as we are staying in Cozumel for our honeymoon.

 

As of right now, we only created the "group" to ensure that the rooms would be available for our guests.

I am working with Wendy from Wright's Travel and she's great!! Really takes the time to explain things and responds to emails quite promptly.

      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!
