Red face Cost for Guests...??

i was wondering what the cost ended up being for everyone's guest's traveling to their DW?

I know this will obviously depend on where they are flying from and to and which hotel they choose to stay in but i was just curious as to a rough idea of what is an acceptable amount to ask guests to pay!

Also, did most of your guests choose to stay in the resort where you were having the wedding?

Thank You!

Jocy

Default Re: Cost for Guests...??

Well my guests are flying from Canada and must connect out of Montreal to Cayo Largo Cuba. Some are coming from Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto and some rural areas.

They are all staying in the same hotel Sol Cayo Largo and the total costs range from $1600 - 1800 each. Most of those are double occupancy.

So...I am not sure if that is what others are paying but Cayo Largo is a private island with only one flight per week in and out of the island so prices are little bit higher. We are also getting married in Feb...so it is supposed to be a little bit cheaper.

I hope that helps.

Our guests are traveling from a few different destinations. But most are traveling from Minneapolis to Cabo. For the 7 night trip to an all inclusive with airfare included the cost was $1300 per person.
