Atlantis bride question

[Lanajoy]

Hello!  My FI and I just started planning our Bahamas wedding for June 2012.  I recieved catering information from Atlantis but I wondered if anyone can share some estimates on room rates for wedding guests.  I love the idea of staying there but cannot ask my friends and family to spend 400 per night for a hotel with such a poor economy. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Welcome and congratulations!  The Atlantis room rates vary depending on season (ie holiday weekends are more) but generally speaking as long as you have 30 nights total in your party then the group rates are roughly 50% off the quoted prices.  They give a discount for all towers so it makes it very convenient for your guests - some will want to splurge and some will want to budget.  Our guests were totally surpirsed what a good deal it was and many extended their stay.  It's a great place for a wedding and I found them very accommodating.  Now, other than the room rates, its super expensive, but at least your guests don't feel that.

Lanajoy,

She's right different towers are different price ranges and you can have some guests stau at the Comfort Suites nearby and they will gain access to almost everything at Atlantis for free... also some of your guests can stay in Nassau (just over the bridge) for much cheaper if needed. It's not cheap at all but it's a beautiful place. You could always plan a trip for your party to go visit the casino, aquarium and cave together (which are no charge). Going to Atlantis is kinda a must see- most tour guides will take you there anyway Hope this helps - congrats and welcome!

Congratulations! Atlantis has different room rates, you can also ask for a group discount--- usually they give it if you book 10 rooms. Atlantis also have a free shuttle going to one and only beach club. If you want to have an amazing dinner this is the place you need to go... In here you can see the cloisters and this is where James bond 007 casino royale was filmed.

 

I shot a wedding at the One and Only beach club and this place is breathtaking!!!!!!

 

Happy planning!

I get soo excited when I see threads about Atlantis(even if their older)... lol... But I do love hearing how amazing Atlantis and the Cloisters are!! It makes me soo excited about our choices.. )  And I love, LOVE, how Atlantis offers group rates for 1/2 the price of their normal rates.  

 

I wish some future Atlantis/Cloister brides would come forward so that we can share our excitements and planning details together..

What package are you guys considering?  Have you selected vendors?  I'm getting married Dec 7, 2012 in atlantis and am just starting the planning process.

[LissMiss]

Hi Angbob, congratulations! We are doing the "Simply Love" package, but upgraded the day/time so we could have the reception and ceremony later in the day on a Saturday. For vendors, Tim Alleyn is our photographer, thats about it so far! How about you?

Hello & Congrats ladies!  It’s good to see more Atlantis brides here.  LissMiss, we must think alike.  We also choose the “Simply Love†package and did the Premium site upgrade.  Which sites did you ladies choose?  I’m still in the early process of planning also.  Right now I’m working with Floral Arts on a quote.  I must say they are lightning fast with responses.  I’ll let you all know how it goes.
