The Now Riviera Cancun

[T&A]

I email about a week ago and still haven't heard back. Just sent another follow up email. Hopefully, she will get response this week.

The response time seems to vary a lot, I used to get a reply within a couple of days but for the last email I sent about a week ago I still haven't received any replies. I tried to call on last week but no one answered, so I will try again today probably. Trying to figure out the dates still. :S

Hi everyone.  I haven't posted in awhile.  After I got my dress I took a few weeks off from all the wedding planning just to enjoy my summer.  I'm excited to see new brides have joined the thread!  I am a May 6, 2011 Now Jade bride.  Is there anyone else who booked that weekend?

I am looking at that week since it is the only week that have reasonable flight prices from Sweden and room prices at the resort. What time is your ceremony?

Hi!

I'm booked for Saturday May 7, 2011, so we'll be that same weekend!  We're doing a site visit Sept 6, and I'm really excited!

I'm officially booked for 6/11/11!  I'm so excited, now the real planning begins!

 

I'm pretty sure I'm going with the Devine Package, as I'm probably going to have about 75 people.  Does anyone know if they have actually been charging $15/person/hour for drinks during the reception?  I originally thought that was only for cocktail hour, but now I'm not sure according to the wedding book?  

 

Thanks,

Sara

I wasn't charged 15$ per person for drinks at dinner. i also wasn't charged 15$ for drinks at the cocktail hour, just for the hors d'oeuvres. i would clarify this with the WC because there was some confusion in the beginning regarding this but i said i wasn't paying for drinks at an all inclusive resort when they could just go to any bar for this so my quote didn't include that cost but they guaranteed me a private cocktail hour at the blue beach bar.

You pay $53 per person for the divine package plus taxes and service fee. Works out to about 67$ per person i think!

Primavera, I am either doing 5:00 or 5:30 for the ceremony time. 

 

Mich12580, I am so excited you're doing the same weekend!  We'll have to start planning together!!  What are your colors?

 

Saraandjon, I'm going to have about 75 people too.  I dont have my latest quote from Pilar with me at work but I'll check tonight and let you know what she's charging us.  I know the 2 hours is included in the package, but she might be charging us for the 2 extra hours (we're doing a 4 hour reception).  And then for the cocktail hour, we're just taking what's included and not paying any extra for food or drinks.  I figured with drinks being free at the resort, it's silly to pay for the extra people at the cocktail hour.  And half of us will be doing pictures during the cocktail hour anyway.

Hi everyone! I am so happy and excited! We are booked to get married on 11.11.11 at a beach ceremony at the Now Jade.

 

I booked early because I knew that date was going to be very popular. Happy planning to all the Now Jade brides and cannot wait to see more pictures.
