Well over the last few days I have had lots of communication with Isela and as we have a total of 25 in our group we have decided that the Divine package is our best option. We have made some changes to the day and instead of getting married at 11am @ the Beach, cocktail hr 4-5pm at the Orange Lounge (I may try and change it to the blue beach bar if its available) and reception 7-10pm @ castaways. It would have been difficult trying to keep everyone together from 11am and a long day to be wearing my dress! I feel more settled now that we have a private reception rather than an al a carte one. Only downside is that we are not in a position to upgrade the photography so will only have the one in the divine package i guess we will just have to rely on pictures from friends and family, it's a good job they are all snappy happy. Feel excited now 5 weeks xxxx

We have just upgraded to the Devine package from the moments package too. I will have them play at the ceremony and hired a sound system to play my ipod at the reception. xx

I believe only the white table cloth is included any other colors you have to pay extra. Since we are getting married the same day! I was wondering where you chose your reception area? We have the Terrace right now and have 30 people attending, we might change to the Bamboo room. Hi Well we were initially tailoring our wedding as we have the moments package but everything is adding up so we was going to have our reception in one of the restaurants but and i received an email this morning from Isela Juarez recommending that we upgrade to either the eternity or the Devine, after looking at them both they are within our budget and there is so much more included except for the photography package which is only 1 hour, I wanted them to cover the getting ready, ceremony and then family photo's. I wonder if they will allow us to upgrade to the 3 hours and we just pay the difference in cost? So we have not chosen a reception area yet....leaving it late I know but as I said we were having a restaurant reception but I have gone off that idea now lol. I really think I am going to go with the devine and try and increase or maybe swap the guitarist for extra photgraphy time :-) We are having a legal wedding so we have to pay for blood tests aswell :-( In terms of the white line, i am happy with that because i will be having hope pink bows on the chairs and I will be taking hot pink favours for the table so i am sure it will all look lovely. Not long now :-) I have heard there are hurruicanes in Mexico at the moment hope it clears for when we arrive xxx

Hi, We are considering upgrading to the Devine Package, but my only concern is the photographer is only for the ceremony.....are there any brides out there that had the divine package and used the photgrapher? if so what photo's did he take and were you happy with them? Did they do any group photo's, Photo's on the beach etc, romantic photos of the bride and groom? also if you did use have the devine package are the linen table clothes all included in the package or do we have to pay extra for them? Thank you Sarah

Best of luck to you ladies! I am not paying for a trial so I am pleased to hear this. I have a few pictures so hopefully all will work out :-)

When do you get married Hun? I have had no contact at all apart from one email to confirm all my contact details......I get married in 10 weeks. I have NO idea where I am having a reception! completely NO idea how much everything is going to cost. I guess I will just have to wait until I am there and hope for the best :-( xxx

Congratulations....let the countdown begin. xxx

i think it would look quite nice and he will stand out from the grooms men which is what you want to happen. We were fortunate to have the pants in the same colour as the suit but if they didnt have them I would have been more than happy to have the groomsmen in a few shades different. Sarah

Thanks Emma......Thats horrendous! $20 per room per NIGHT!!!!! shocking. I am sorry but that is a bloomin cheek asking for extra money! I will kick up a fuss at check in if any of my guests are put in buildings 1-3!!! I dont want to go on holiday/get married to smell sewers!!!! I hope it doesnt ruin our stay :-( xxx

One of the comments that keep coming up on trip advisor is the sewarage smell around the building. For any of those Brides that have already had their wedding at Now Jade.....Was this a problem???? xx

Thats great news, we will be using Adventure Photo's so this has put a smile on my face :-)

I think I had put an extra dot somewhere in the email lol you should have it now :-)

Just sent it over xxx

Trisha, Please give me your email address and I will happily send them over :-)

Julestwin, this is the info I recieved off Pilar as we also have the moments package and are currently looking at having our reception at one of the restaurants (depending on budgets we may ask if we can pay the $500 to have this on the terrace to make it a little more private. As you will see there are 2 restaurant options to have your reception, however you will be able to choose from 4 the menu's from the following restaurants spice capers mercure tamarindo I do have copies of the menus so i will try and upload them, alternatively send me your email and I will email them to you, I also have the spa prices for hair and make up that Olivia sent me a couple of months ago, I could pop this on email too. Hope this helps ................ Sarah Regarding the reception dinner at the restaurant please note: Group Dinner Reservation at the restaurants For any of the restaurants more than 10 people will be considered as a group. If any guest is interested in organizing a dinner in one of the restaurants for a group (over 10 people), a set up and service fee will apply, the price for this special service will be $22.00 USD per person. It will be necessary to select a set menu for all guests attending the dinner; the menu will be selected by the clients from the regular menu of the restaurant.

(ex.6:00 pm to 8:00 pm) The only restaurant where the group can have a dinner all together without extra cost would be Carnival Restaurant with buffet style (it is not private buffet it would be of the regular buffet line). All the outdoor events are allowed until 10:30 pm.

Could anyone confirm if the iPod nano is compatible with the music system at now jade? If not could you please recommend a suitable alternative. Thank you

Hi Michelle, We have the moments package so we will be adding the resorts photographer to our package, I too am not a photo person but like you, want some special pictures for the big day. i dont think we will be upgrading and will be going with the package that is in the brochure Packages with high resolution images on disk Wedding CD package 50 high resolution images $759 on CD + photo book with all 50 images We may change our mind when we are there but for me as long as we get photo's of the "getting Ready" "Ceremony" and "friends and family together" I will be happy. We have lots of friends and family with new high tech camera's that will be snapping away lol. From the pictures that I have seen, i quite like their work :-) xxx

Hi, we get married in November and My FI is wearing Sand Linen trousers and jacket (his choice) with a long sleeve white ted baker shirt, our 7 year old son wants to wear exactly the same as his dad so he will be wearing a jacket too (I tried to talk him into wearing a waist coat instead but he knows best lol) The grooms men are all wearing short sleeved linen shirts and the same colour (sand), style linen trousers as my FI. My FI will be changing straight after photos and will be changing into a short sleeved linen shirt. xxx Suit from Marks and Spencers and Linen Shirts all from Next

Wow! you look totally stunning!!! congratulations! My colour theme is Hot Pink and Lemon and looking at your pics the colour stands out beautifully. We too are using the resort photgrapher and looking at your pictures I can see we have nothing to worry about. Cant wait to read your full review, shame about the hot tubs I was quite looking forward to using them but hey ho i guess thats only a minor issue. I get married on 1st Nov 13 and decided that I am not going to stress myself out too much......I have had very little contact woth Pilar but we know what we want and have jotted down ideas and costs and will wait until we arrive, and then give them our budget and plans and I trust from reading info on here that the wedding team will ensure everything is pulled off. Once again many congratulations you both looks so happy!!!! xxx

Awwwww congratulations. enjoy your honeymoon. Cant wait to read your review :-)

Ha ha thanks for the tip! im sure I will be the same and overcome with excitement :-) so maybe a sleeping pill will be added to my list of extra's. I have just had the call to say that my dress has arrived at the boutique so I have my very first fitting on Saturday 29th. So excited :-) Thanks again for your help x
