Canopy a la carte?

seedsngarlick · June 5, 2010

Hi all,

I am doing a Beautiful Beginnings wedding and am thinking about location. I like the pier or reef terrace gazebo but would be interested to know if the canopy for the beach could be used at an a la carte price, without upgrading to a costly package. Does anyone know if this is possible and what the price might be? Also, I am getting married at SGOR and I know the beach is on the small side. Does anyone know how private an 11am ceremony could possibly be if I did decide to go beachside? Thanks all!

There will be a la carte options coming soon but I'm not sure when exactly. My WC in Miami mentioned it vaguely last month and TA Jennifer on this board also made mention there are upgrade options coming. Hopefully she'll chime in with some good news for us Sandals brides!

I'm definitely anxious to see what the a la carte options are going to be

I received a little bit of information from my Miami WC coordinator today. She was vague but I figured I'd share anyway.

I questioned what is available for a la carte options and asked for a photo listing with prices. Amy (aka Tabia) said we can choose anything that is shown on the website in each package and request a specific quote for what we want to upgrade to. The only thing she gave me a price on was the Vision in White arch for the ceremony...$600!!! She also sent me a picture of it. In my opinion, the quality doesn't appear to be worth that kind of money, especially if I'll only be using it for 15-20 minutes. I didn't even ask about upgrading flowers but I've read upgraded bouquets are running upwards of $300.

Keep in mind this is specific for Sandals Royal Caribbean. I'm not sure if the prices will be different at any of the other resorts.

At this point, I'm planning on not upgrading anything and relying on the natural setting to be decoration enough. If there is something I want when I get there, great. If not, that's fine too.

Sorry ladies, I know it's not much info! I was hoping for more but I'm learning to not expect much until I arrive in Jamaica.
