Hi, I'm in the same situation as you. We have our date "on hold" and it has been for a few weeks now. I'm hoping the flight prices come out soon otherwise we'll lose it to. Uk TA's have said anytime now. It's just a waiting game (

Guys- read again... I am pretty sure you have until two months before your wedding to confirm, not within two months. That's how I understood it anyway. We did end up booking within two months of putting on hold... (just by coincidence) but I am not convinced that is the rule. I think its just a bad translation.

Hi, I've just checked my email and this is what it says within the message.....


3. Once you have a date on hold for the wedding, you will have two months to e-mail us a copy of the Reservation Manifest/Invoice from the Tour Operator (confirmation must include name of Bride & Groom, arrival - departure dates and time, name of Tour Operator Company).
Once we have all your travel information, your assigned wedding coordinator will confirm your date.

I don't know if this has changed though?.....

ooooooooh, that's pretty clear. Mine said this: (lol)

 

3. For confirm your wedding you will have two months before the wedding date for send us by e-mail a copy of the Reservation Manifest/Invoice from the Tour Operator (confirmation must include name of Groom & Bride, arrival - departure dates and time, name of Tour Operator Company). Once we obtain this information, the wedding date and time will be considered as CONFIRMED.

 

There were enough mistakes in the grammar to put it up for debate. I guess you better get booking! I wouldn't worry though. I am sure until they have enough confirmed weddings to bump your on hold, I think you'll be fine. Just send them an email that you are trying to find a reasonable deal.

I contacted Apple Vacations today and they told me it wouldnt be until June or July until they have packages out for January 2011..ah!!! I will keep checking other sites , worse comes to worse I keep putting my date on hold I suppose?? We will see I just would hate to lose my place in line

Hey ladies, we are getting married on Aug 5th, and Xhail told us the same thing (two months to confirm). However, she did say, if we did not get our reservations booked within that two months, all we had to do was call/email her, and she would "re-hold" the time/date for another two months. We didnt actually have to do that, as well booked just within two months, but did tell us that. hope that helps!

I am getting married in January of 2011 and my travel agent booked the Palace via Funjet Vacations at the beginning of February so that we could confirm our date. We only had to put down a $300 deposit. The balance on the vacation is not due until November. It does say that "all prices are subject to change until full payment is received" on the confirmation. We send our coordinator the confirmation number we got by putting down the deposit with Funjet and now our wedding date is confirmed. We don't have flights yet but apparently you don't need that to confirm a date. Good luck!

Put it this way, if you can't book a package to confirm the date, others too...probably can't confirm the date neither. It is like in a congested airport, if incoming flights can't get to the terminal and turn = outbound flights can't depart also.
