Hi Ladies, I'm getting married at Now Jade in May 2016 and Jacqueline my wedding planner just emailed me cost for additional decorations. As much as I thought I was prepared for all of the ancillary costs there were a lot of things in there I hadn't budgeted for. I am wondering if any brides have pictures of their pergola and bamboo room reception set ups along with what upgrades like table runners and napkins you paid for? I'm just wondering if things look nice without the extras. Thanks for your help!

Hi JaNae, I am also getting married at Now Jade, I was interested in doing a rehearsal dinner the night before my wedding and here's what I got from Jacqueline: The Maximum number of people for a specialty restaurant (non private service) is 35 Guest. Being this or less number of people, you have to pay a fee of $ 22 Usd + Tax + service. You have to select a set menu from the same restaurant. We reserve some tables and in the rest of the place there will be more people. Second Option.- According to the number of people you are planning to have, we suggest to make your rehearsal dinner totally private. We can offer you on this day, Cin Cin restaurant with a rental fee of $ 3,000 Usd + $ 22 Usd + Tax + Service per person. This service is for 4 hours and includes domestic open bar and a set menu (plated service) from the same restaurant. In case you are interested, please let me know to hold the area. These locations are confirmed when you reserve as definitive, in the meantime, they are subject to availability. We have available Carnival Terrace on May the 05th. The rent fee for Terrace restaurant is $ 500 Usd + Tax. +/plus The dinner per person with an extra charge of $ 42 Usd + Tax + Service. This is plated service and includes open bar for 3 hours. She also sent me prices and capacity for the other restaurants, there are some spaces you can hold for 40 guests that only cost $1500 plus the $22 per person. Also, the per person charges have 16% tax and I think 18% service fee on top of that. Hope that information helps! We just decided to keep the rehearsal dinner informal. Luckily its on Cinco de Mayo and they have a BBQ on the beach, so hopefully we can get tables close to each other.

Hi all, I am getting married at Now Jade in May 2016. Several people have recommended Styling Trio for hair and make-up and it sounds like the hotel spa is pretty hit and miss. Can anyone tell me if they had to pay the $350 outside vendor fee for hair and make up? Styling Trio is pretty pricey on its own and I'm afraid another $350 puts it out of my budget. Also, if any one has any recommendations for other hair/make-up vendors I should check out I would love to get more suggestions. Thank you!
