Ohhh these are cute!  Where did you order from?  My wedding is in a month, so I need something fast!  What are you putting in them?  I'm trying to gather what to put in them right now. Oh and thanks so much for the tip on paying a vendor fee for make-up.  I'll look into it again.

Hey Ladies:

 

I got some information about the free wedding package from Janielle, a wedding coordinator at the Grand! The wedding package is free but it doesn't include a lot of what the $3,000 package covers, so I got pricing on the essentials:

 

-arrangements for marriage license and official certificate. This is included
-wedding personalization and personalization of wedding coordinator. US$ 400.00
-wedding dress pressing service.  Roughly  US$50.00
-decoration of wedding venue. This is dependent based on the type of décor you want and whether of not you are using a huppa or arch.

-sound system with microphone and CD music for ceremony. US$ 150.00 We only play the traditional bridal march if you need something different please take your own CD

 

You would still save money by getting the free wedding package but it doesn't include the upgrades like the $3,000 package does but who needs extras when you have a butler and a 5-star resort!?

 

Hope this helps : )

Susan,

  When did Janielle get back to you? I sent her an email on 4/20 and have yet to hear anything from her. REALLY ANNOYING

I think it's best to send them a follow up e-mail because I e-mailed them like 2 weeks ago and never heard back so I sent a follow-up and got a response within a day.

Hi! I work for a clothing manufacture and we own a factory in Pakistan so I will be custom making the bags there. I didn't send the bag to be costed out yet since I haven't made a final decision on the bag and I don't have a final head count since my wedding is in Dec. I was hoping to try to get some other brides on board from this website as well. The bag will definatly be under $5 a pc for an XL canvas bag, personalized with Montego Bay and a palm tree with tropical colors.

 

I will most likly be placing my order in July. Sorry I couldn't help you

Hey Ladies.... sorry I have been MIA from the forum, we finally are all moved and settled in our new home! I heard back from Janielle about the free wedding package (it did take her awhile to get back).

 

 

Hi Shannon,

 

Sorry for the delay in my reply. Once your wedding is already confirmed, the package  cannot be changed.

I wrote her back asking about about if I were to pay the $100 cancellation fee and rebook with a different package and she has yet to get back to me. My feelings are that, the resort is not too happy with this free wedding package, though Iberostar (the chain) started it to complete with fellow resorts, i.e. Sandals. 

 

Let me know if you all hear any thing else!

 

Thanks

Hi Susan1672- I was just wondering when you confirmed that there was a free wedding package at the Grand? As, I phoned a couple months ago, when I was deciding between Ceremony packages, and spoke to one of the wedding coordinators, they stated that we had to choice between the $1700/$3000 ceremony package. I asked if I could pay for the esstentials only, as I didnt need all the frills included, and she said no I could not just pay for what I wanted!

 

So if this free wedding package is something they just now are offering I will be very upset :-( I feel that the Grand has all these hidden fees...it's starting to be a bit ridiculous! We pay so much as it is to get married there!

 

ha ha starting to get frusterated, sorry!

 

Thanks Susan1672

Unfortunately, I think the free wedding package just started a few weeks ago. I booked my date in mid-April after I found the flyer for it on a website and she said I could do it for a new booking.

Hmm I booked and received confirmation of my wedding date April 20th.....do you have the attachment still of the free wedding package, as well as what it includes? or the exact date that this went up? so I can send Janielle a reply..... I even phoned prior to submitting my request to ask if there was a free package, as most resorts offer this, and Janielle did not even mention to me of this......

 

Thanks

 

[sunshine2413]

Hmmm... thanks for sharing that because she def told me that I could not cancel and take advantage of the free wedding! I think I will be calling her, it's worth the money for a phone call to get a direct answer. Thank you for sharing!! $100 to $3,000 it totally different.

 

ANY other ladies, have any luck??

 

Thanks
