that's all...

Here is a thread just for PB Brides to share information, decorations, etc. natalie, kristi, woowoo, get BUSY! ...wow, that sounds kind of kinky.

i thought i would start a thread for dreams cabo brides to get together and share info and decorations, etc. well, you all know i am a dreams bride... you can find my review here: Tammy's Review sarah, edyta, sarahmc, nicole, jennetta...START POSTING!

the way i read the clause is you are allowed to release the rooms...and any rooms not released by x-date you will be penalized for...this is the same with other room blocks...i think if you give them enough time to sell those rooms you will be ok...but the contract isn't clear...there are alot of ambiguities. here is the clause from the room block contract...they ask you to release the rooms in phasing to avoid penalty. Quote: All reservations must be received by the cut off date of, moth-xx day, 2007. After that date, you agree that we may offer unused rooms held in your block to other customers to reduce our losses and your obligations under the performance clause. Reservations requested by your attendees after this date will be accepted based upon availability. here is the performance clause on the room block NOT the beverage/food: Quote: Performance on Room Revenue: In other words, the group is allowed to reduce Ten Percent (10%) of the total room block reserved outlined on page one (1) of this contract until the group departure without performance damages. Quote: Originally Posted by JENESIS Is this the Hilton? I denied the room block b/c I was told that if the rooms were not booked then I was responsible for a sick amount of money. If I knew I could release, I would have taken it.

Quote: Originally Posted by EDYTA Tammy - sry I dont know if i missed this but who did u get ur flowers from? mariana? or did maye arrange them for u? edyta, i got them from maye, but i emailed mariana the cheap flower vendor so hopefully she will start getting quotes from them.

kash, her eis the clause you are looking for in your contract... Quote: Performance on Room Revenue: In other words, the group is allowed to reduce Ten Percent (10%) of the total room block reserved outlined on page one (1) of this contract until the group departure without performance damages. it is the same thing with dreams...they release 10-15% of unused rooms in phases to minimize damaages but they expect you to release all nused rooms by may 15 to not incur any loss of your deposit.

Quote: Originally Posted by akh If not all of these rooms are reserved, do you get any $$ back? I am just having a real hard time guaging how many people will actually stay at the AI I choose verses just trying to find a cheaper option. well, usually the deposit $$ is about what it would cost for you to stay there...so it is sort of like just paying for your room with that deposit money...whatever extra comes back to you.. we also thought we would have alot of people choose to stay somewhere cheaper BUT we ended up using all of our rooms so we had people that were forced to stay elsewhere... also, the AI rate is not much higher than non-AI in PV for the same class...about a $40 per night difference...

So I know I can get something off the rack. Then we came across this dress for my mom....I think it is just perfect for her!! I have to give some big credit to Tammy for showing us her Birthday dress too!! I think my sister is going to wear that dress. It is SO darling!!! We found it at Nordstroms...we are trying to order it in her size. SO thank you Tammy!!! YAY, isn't it the cutest dress...it was ssooooo fun to wear...now i need to find another place to wear it.

i thinking blocking rooms is a must when having a destination wedding...it breaks my heart when people don't do this and their friends and family decide the do want to come but there are no rooms left for them kash is right, each hotel has its own policies on blocking rooms...you usually do pay either a % or a set amount for each room you have blocked...then you have a set amount of time the hold is for.

Quote: Originally Posted by REBECCA Yeah, we had Juan for 4 hours. I was tempted to add an extra hour, but, he got the speeches, dances, we took a shot with eveyone at each table and he finished with a couple fast dances. So I feel like we captured a little bit of everything, but, we'll see? If there is any advice I can give to future brides it is don't try to save money on the photographer or the videographer. Those are your memories and it becomes a complete blurr while you're there. Right now I wish I had a better video. There was so much I didn't see, because I was sort of behind the scenes (before the ceremony). It was neat to see in the video what everyone was doing before the ceremony and while we were taking pics. i agree that you should stretch to get a good photographer and videographer...if you have to choose between one or the other the photos should be your priority...also, you can do so much with raw footage if you have someone that knows how to do that stuff.

Quote: Originally Posted by NABUMBAH I bought my shoes yesterday. We made the poor decision to join the masses at an outlet mall near my mom's vacation place in the desert on black Friday. We got there around midnight and the place was a huge clusterf*ck. My little sister wanted to get a pair of jeans at Off 5th, the Saks outlet so on a whim I checked out the shoes and found these babies: They were originally $700 and I paid $130... and waited in line for about an hour and a half, but we got them. They're hillarious, and tacky and perfect. The photo is a little washed out and the silver may clash with the ivory in my gown but whatever. I can't get over how funny they are. those are so fun, i love them!

The whole friggin place is beautiful! i agree...i got to have a private event at both places and each has its pros and cons but even if you didnt have a choice, you wouldn't be disappointed with what you got
