Hello - quick question for brides that brought down OOT bags. Did you declare the value of the bags on the declaration form, or did you just wait to go through customs and if you were flagged, you just showed your receipts at that point in time? 9 days to go, starting to freak out a little on the last minute details! Thanks in advance!

Hello, What are people tipping for their dj and photographer? Is there a rule of thumb? Thanks!

Does anyone know how much it costs to take a taxi from the Now Jade resort into Cancun? My fiancé and I want to make a Costco run in Cancun and don't want to get hosed by a taxi trying to charge us an unreasonable price.

@@candle23, did they also charge you for reception decorations (i.e. decorating your tables?) That is the FOURTH decoration-type related charge they have on my contract. Ridiculous.

Hello again - one more question. On my contract - the resort is charging to physically move our chairs from the ceremony (pergola) to the reception (Bamboo) room ($40+tax). They are also charging fees for tying on our chair bows ($40+tax) and for "decorating" our tables at the reception ($40+tax). To any recent Now Jade brides - were you charged for all/any of this?

Hello, Has anyone been charged a $350 set up fee to have your own bar during the reception? I received my contract today and there was this fee - I have never heard of this before, nor was it on any of my paperwork. For those that have already had their reception, particularly in the Bamboo Room - did you have your own bar for the reception? Or did you just have waiters running drinks to your guests from an outside bar? If so, were there any complaints that people could not get drinks timely? Thanks in advance!! Meaghen

Hello, I have a question about transfers for the bride and groom. Is anyone booked for 2015 that has been offered transfers? It seems like they are offering them for 2014 but I haven't heard anything about 2015. Thanks in advance, Meaghen

Hi again, Did anyone use an outside vendor for hair and makeup? If so, did the resort charge you twice for the vendor fee - once when the stylist came in for the bridal trial, and again when they came back for the wedding day? Thanks, Meaghen

Could anyone please send me the measurements for the chair bows? I am thinking about making my own and bringing them down with me as opposed to renting them. If anyone also has the measurements for the table runners for the circular tables, I would love to hear from you! Thanks in advance! Please email me at [email protected] or respond to this messaged directly. Meaghen
