Wow, that is not what I had expected to be asking guests to pay either. I was thinking the most to be $1500.00 flight and hotel. I love West jet, but have they also looked into Sunquest, or Air Transat? That's what our TA will be looking into, and she said that also Air Canada will charge the deposit to save seats for your guests for only 30 days. Then you have to get out your STD's and 30 days is just not enough time. The other one's I mentioned give you 60 days for guests to put their deposits down. Something to think about. Hopefully I do not come across these kind of prices when we start looking. I would ask more questions of your TA and see what else she can find. Also, maybe shop around, and see what a few others come out to. I found one TA, and she tried to talk me out of the hotels we wanted, and to choose her hotels, also to maybe question the wedding site we have chosen. I think she gets some serious kickbacks. We have since gone with someone else.
