Awesome- I'm thinking I had gotten a quote for 2 speakers?? I need to look through the pricelist and re email PSAV.  How many people are you girls having?  I'm having 40-50 people.

For other events, It may depend on how busy the resort is at the time your there? When Ive been away with a big group we would just go at the same time and try to get seated next to eachother? I think your on your own aside from your wedding day. 12-15 people seems like a reasonable number to get like 2 reservations of 6 or 7 and ask for tables next to eachother. I am assuming maybe some people would like to eat at different times throughout your stay so doing it every day or night may just be stressful, but Im sure your WC can help Hwith that request for a welcome dinner or rehersal

 

 

 

 

Thanks. Nice to know that it could at least be possible. No way would I try to do it every night, just maybe a "welcome to Cancun let's party" dinner and a "thanks for coming out folks now get the hell out of my hair so I can get on with my honeymoon" brunch I'm going to be a budget bride *sigh* so I'm trying to get a general idea of the cost of things. BTW I'm SO mad at this new $200/table set up fee if you bring your own decorations!! How could it POSSIBLY cost $200/table?? Now decorations are going to cost me about $700 for a party of 50 instead of like $100. And that $100 in decorations is now $1000 with their fees!? I'm just so furious. Has anyone found away around this yet? (anyone that DIDN'T book before the change). I just can't see paying $200/table to get them to put out a chiffon table overlay, chair sashes and a few candles.

Smoylan & Airica : all private events are 3 hours whether you factor in a cocktail hour or not.. If you want it extended it is a fee per person. So ladies I went to the trunk show today and got my veil! I'm so excited its gorgeous! Cathedral length with very interesting beading and even on sale it's was a pricey tag but I just had to do it lol! I also found some really great acessories.. So now I think I'm pretty much complete with my look.. My sandals should be in tomorrow and just waiting and the other things I've ordered as well.. I also had another couple book today!! Yeah! So that's 12 people so far and were still 8 1/2 months out! Not bad! Plus dumb question but when they talk about room nights do they talk about each persons number of nights or say a couple stays in a room For 7 nights is it just 7 nights not 14?? That just confuses me lol!

[irongirl]

It is per room. so if you have 2 people book together same room for 5 nights each...it only counts towards 5 nights towards your rewards. Also those 2 people have to share the $1500 resort credit.

Hi girls,

 

 

Yes, Krystalbab.  It is the room nights. So if you have a couple booked in for 7 days it equals 7 room nights.  

 

In regards to private functions.  You have one hour cocktail hour and two hours for a private function.  This is included if you have unlimited private functions.  I am having another hour for the private function.  Therefore, three hours in total.  For,the extra hour I have to pay $60 per table.  But I only have four table so not too bad.  Also you have to pay $12 per person to have the reception setup outside.  I am having this on the Caribbean terrace.  You only pay this fee once.  It is $6 per person for the cocktail hour set up but because I am paying one set up cost the cheaper one is waived.  Hope this helps!

 

I have Beatrix Santana as my Florida based wedding co ordination and get married in less than 6 weeks.  I still have not signed my contract as needed to finalise flowers and butionneres.  Have emailed palace weddings direct with no reply.  Has anybody else who had Beatrix been directed to anyone else? If so, could you provide me with contact details.  She did tell me my onside wedding co ordinator would be daniela Lara.  But she does not reply to my emails.  I am turning into bridezilla now!!!

 

thanks girls

I thought the $12 fee was only if you had you're private function on an UPSTAIRS terrace where there is no elevator (like the Caribbean terrace). But beach side one (like Tucan terrace) didn't have that fee.

natalie47,

 

I'm not sure if you read palacebride2012 post, however; Beatriz is no longer there! 

 

Ladies, for those of you seeking "group benefits" i.e. cocktail function, private events etc. make sure that you have a group contract!  For those that have a TA make sure he/she does this.  For those that are handling things on your own (this would be in addition to the 1st paper that you sign with your credit card number to secure your date.)  Without having a group contract, they will give you will not qualify for free events and you will have to FIGHT to get it.

Well Ladies,

 

At 35 days until our BIG day, and 30 days before we leave for Mexico, my DIY lab is officially closed   Now I'm on to taking pictures of how we would like things set-up in order to give to our coordinator upon our meeting, packing and chilling.

 

BDW along with this particular forum has been a great great great thing!  BIG to my LADIES: PalaceBride2012, LadyDi1844, Jamie5280, Krsmith, Beatyea, SummerDawn, Steph and a few others.  It's hard to remember your username since I know your names by heart ;-)  If I have forgotten anyone, please charge it to my head and not my heart.  I love you ladies and look forward to meeting most in Cancun or in NY later this year.

 

In either case, I wish each of you a wonderful & magnificent wedding.  This site is full of great information and can at times be over whelming.  Seek your vision along with your FI and go for it! As my time is short, I will be on the forum less and less as I'm now finalizing things for our departure etc.  however; I will continue to pay it forward and either do a Planning thread (if times permits on the front end) and/or a MP review upon my return.

 

MP has changed so much from the genesis of our planning in late 2010 until now.  So make sure that you get things in writing and please know that unfortunately, what may apply to one bride may not necessarily apply to another especially if you have a different coordinator.  So you can imagine the difference in packages/information from 2012 to 2013.

 

For those getting married after the Colin Cowel packages begin, it may be worth it with all the fees that I see that the are trying to charge for set-up. 

 

Take care, plan well and have an awesome wedding.
