The Now Riviera Cancun

Hi Tamara

That pricing is far more excessive then what i am paying. I took the devine package which includes 25 people and I am only paying the addition 25 for dinner at 53$ a head. I didn't take the extra cake per person as desert comes with dinner and there will probably be more than enough cake with the 25ppl included. For the cocktail hour I am only taking the hors d'oeuvres for 25 which is included as most of the guest will be taking pictures and they provide 5pieces per person which should cover the rest, they didn't charge for cocktails during that time. For the champagne toast right after the wedding i was told as long as you are ok with glasses pre filled and served with champagne then it's no cost. It only costs if you want the bottles opened there.
i've got Sandra now as a coordinator and i am very happy so far. I called her about the quote and asked her to call me right back and she did and we went through line by line and she answered all my questions.

Hope this helps. if you have any other questions feel free to ask. I'm a detail and organizational nazi lol so I will probably have the answer you need.

Congrats!

they do have bridemaids bouquets but they are not part of any package and are 65$ a peice and I believe quite small. the two corsages in the package i am using for the grooms mother and my grandmother.
Flowers: She said they have a contract with their onsite florist and flowers from other vendors can be delivered or accepted by them but If you want to pick them up or have them deliver them directly to you outside of the resort then you can use them for the wedding.

Ugh why are there no bridesmaids bouquets in the pkgs? I didn't even realize that! What the heck am I supposed to do with a corsage...? I would also like to know about outside florists! I wonder if I could order one or two small bouquets and split them up since I have four bridesmaids? I also just found out that there is a wedding in the same location as me TWO HOURS before my ceremony!!

I am getting married at the NOW on June 11, 2011 and my mom is a florist, so I asked Pilar if we could have flowers shipped there from an outside vendor so my mom could arrange them on the day of the wedding and she was fine with that. The only thing that I thought was ridiculous was that she told me even though we are bringing our own flowers, they will not discount the price of the flowers out of the package!!

Can any of you ladies give me the email for Sandra? I'm over waiting on Pilar and I have to cut costs!!!

Sorry it's just a bad day over here in wedding planning world.
