El Dorado Royale (EDR) Brides - POST HERE!

dimplz i just realized...your wedding is in A FEW WEEKS!!! how are you feeling? are you stoked?

 

you have to promise to tell us all about it when you get back!

sounds fun!! Are you freaking yet? Ha I can't believe we leave in less then 2 wks. I am teaching al the way up to the day we leave too so trying to be productive.

We are not getting DJ so working on uploading music to ipod.

 

What are you working on? Any tips for the next week and a half to get prepared?

 

Are you guys doing a day trip? We are to do the Ish Caret one day. I really want to swim with the dolphins!!

 

It is almost here!! Woo hoo!!

Ladies who are having the BBQ deluxe...I went on Karisma's website to look at the menu again and I saw the price is now $26.00 pp for the mexican bbq deluxe! Anyone getting this price? I am currently paying $49 pp plus 20% discount on private events. Is this a misprint? It seemed the prices for the menus have changed for the cheaper on there site. Let me know if anyone is looking into this! Thanks

update*** I called my wedding cordinator from Lomas yesterday to tell her about these prices and she honored the BBQ deluxe price of 26 pp instead of 49 pp!!! Also she said and you can see on the website that most of the other private event menus have gone down in price. I just saved 800 dollars!!!! I'm so excited. Let me know if you get the lower price also

Really?? That's awesome! Who is your WC? When I was quoting private events with my TA (she is going back and forth w/ Valeria as the "coordinator") she said that she had been given an "updated" price list on her last trip down there in March, which had the higher prices. The only thing different was the higher prices...it still said "prices effective for 2009/2010" at the bottom.

I will have to ask about that. Sometimes I think that I should be dealing directly with Valeria, because I feel like I am losing a lot in translation by having her as a middle man.

Glad you saved so much money! If those lower prices are still true, then I might re-think my itenerary. However, am getting really tired of getting mixed info from Lomas and Karisma. No one seems to give me a correct price quote on ANYthing. Anyone else have that problem?

the prices are new and they do say 2009-2010 season but my WC Carolina was awesome and gave me the price. I would check into it but go through Valeria...I heard she was on top of things Let me know how you make out.

*Faints* I have 72 guests so the Mexican BBQ changing from $49 to $26 saves me over $1400. I just emailed Valeria!!!!

Just to clarify: I saved the Banquet Kit with the "cheaper" prices i.e., $26pp off the Lomas website on 3/17/10. My TA gave me the "updated" version with the higher prices that she was given by the resort when she visited them the first week in April.

 

I looked last week and the version with the cheaper prices was still posted on the Lomas website. As of last night, the Banquet Kit is no longer available online. It now instructs you to contact them for pricing information. Hmmm

 

On a side note, I did compare the two Banquet kits, and it looks like the cocktail party prices are the same, but the dinner prices have increased--significantly.

 

Let me know what you hear from Valeria, BagLover! Good luck!

I downloaded the new banquet kit with the lower prices this afternoon. So they're still on there. So I'd better get this discount!!!

Baglover-- I was thinking of you when I found those cheaper prices because I remember you saying you were having the BBQ deluxe!!! I just got my new updated spreadsheet with my 26 pp prices....oh and I get 20% off of that because of the promotion bride stays free....are you getting that as well...this is off of private events Let me know how you make out! I'm so glad I saved money myself and now for you lol
