How much are your guests paying?

Just trying to get a sense of averages and wondered what everyone else's group rate is/was. How much are your guests paying to attend your wedding and have you gotten any grief about it?

I'll go first...my guests are paying approximately $1500 taxes in....5 star resort.

(If this topic already exists somewhere, please let me know...the search function does not work for me...)

Our wedding party is staying with us in a private Villa $836 for 4 nights and $300-$500 for flights. Other guests are staying in an All- Inclusive resort for $1500 for 7 nights flights included thru expedia. I haven't heard any complaining YET.... I can see how our wedding party can have a problem paying so much more than guests but we are taking care of a lot for them. So hopefully its a wash??

Hi-- you're right. There are a bunch of threads and even a study about this on the board.

Here are a few:

Thanks so much! How did you find that exactly? Still new and manoeuvering my way around...

You just go to search on the top of the page and a click it and a search bar appears. Just type in the topic you are looking for and hit search.

Sounds about right for your pricing. Does Expedia include your transfers? That is VERY important.

1500 sounds about right...mine are paying $1650 at the RIU in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. All-inclusive, 5 star resort, includes flights and transfers.

We didn't really get any grief about pricing...but some guests were unable to attend because it was a bit steep for them...but we expected this to happen so no big deal.

When I saw this post I was going to hunt down the study i did.... looks like ~*petals*~ did the work for me!

You will find the study interesting!

Ours is all-inclusive at Dreams Punta Cana. For 7 nights incl airport xfers its $886 per person for 2 ppl in a deluxe room. Flights have been averaging about $400 per person. So, in total its been around $1200-$1300 per person.

Noone has complained about the cost and we specifically chose this resort for the lower cost. Those that can't afford it; just aren't coming.

My guests are paying $1428.00 pp (taxes included) to stay for one week at the Melia Caribe. Depending on which website you go to, it's a 4.5 to 5 star resort.

Originally I wanted to go to one of the Paradisus resorts but the quotes were $1800.00 - $2000.00 pp. So we chose the Melia (owned by the same company) because of the lower cost for our family and friends. And like sunsetbride1, those who can't afford it, won't be coming.
