Thanks TA Jennifer! Getting down to the final count for my SGOR wedding and I cannot wait! We've hit several bumps in the road but hopefully everything will pan out.

Right now is a great time to book for 2009 brides- the deals are amazing-especially if you are looking at the concierge rooms and higher!

I have a flyer for my bridal show last year where I priced out the Sandals properties- typically we should see a 5-15% increase in price- the Jamaica properties are pricing lower than they were last year!! Antigua is much less. St. Lucia & Bahamas-some of the concierge & butler category rooms are waaayyy less, the rest are pricing at only a 5% increase for most rooms!

However for the 2010 brides the discounts are only in the 25% area.

Welcome to the Sandals/beaches thread!!

I am not a Sandals bride, but really want to be a Sandals honeymooner! We are just having a hard time figuring out when to get the best deal and get the best rooms. We are on a tight budget and are kind of very last minute with this. Any ideas?!

[JenniferSS]

I would definately book now as Sandals is having a great sale- usually the prices aren't quite this good!

Each Sandals resort is very different in terms of atmosphere and ambiance. As much as I love Sandals there are also a few of the resorts where I would not book the lower room categories - and then there a few where the lower room categories are very, very nice!

QUESTIONS to all those Sandals/Beaches brides. I am trying to decide on what type of reception to have. Please let me know what everyone else is doing and maybe why you chose it. Thanks for helping me in my decision. We are planning to have around 15 guests and the two of us.

We plan on doing the three hour reception and adding a DJ.

We're at the Sandals Royal Bahamian and also opted for the 3-hour reception dinner at $75 pp. We also have about 15 guests plus the 2 of us.

We hired a steel drum band to play during the cocktail hour and champagne toast before the reception but no music while we're actually eating the dinner. I can't remember which restaurant patio they said we'd use, but they close off one of the patios for your group.

We have the menu choices and plan to finalize the all the details this wknd in terms of apps, main course, dessert, etc.

I am not a Sandals bride, but am a Sandals honeymooner, the Sandles Grande in St. Lucia for May 2009!

 

We are having a hard time figuring out how to get the best deal on the best rooms, or at least what our options are. We are on a tight budget and are currently booked for just the regular rooms there. Thoughts or suggestions on this? Any ideas?! Thanks!!!
