Moon Palace 2012 Brides

[Bojanglesgirl]

I'm so excited about the kids staying free part!  I have so many guests who did not know how they were going to afford them selves and their kids!  

 

What a nice option to get our guests to come down, now they won't have an excuse!

Ladies I need some advice. Last week the head of the weddings department emailed me stating that I would have to pay a $300 outside vendor fee for two vendors (photographer and DJ) after they made an exception for one. I emailed her back stating that my Miami Coordinator never informed me of this policy, even after she had ample time and opportunities to do so. I also forwarded an email from my Miami Coordinator that states I would only have to purchase a day pass for the photographer; leaving only the DJ subject to the policy. I have emailed Lucy in the Weddings department now three additional times and have yet to hear back from her and am getting the feeling that she is ignoring me. What should I do????

Start calling.....I realize they are busy but it's a little frustrating when you send emails and it's taking a week or longer to hear back. I'm calling Janina this week. She wants the contract back by the 8th however she hasn't answered my email from last week. (We are changing our ceremony from civil to symbolic. It saves about $600 and we don't have to do blood test here. So we have decided to go to the JP the day before we leave and just not tell anyone.) So I asked her if we needed to sign a different contract and no answer. I'll be calling this afternoon.

On a different note we did secure our venue for the AHR this weekend. Glad that's done. This week is getting the contract taken care of, get the room block to the TA, and finish up the invites to go out next week. FMIL is speaking with the cake lady and already calling about rentals for the AHR. She overloaded me with wedding details this past weekend. I'm trying very hard to be patient with her as my FI's parents are paying for the AHR, she only had sons and wants to plan this event. However some of her ideas I don't care for, or she's reminding me of "how expensive" things are. Though I did put my foot down and tell her absolutely no carnations for any kind of reception flowers! Feeling pressure and slightly guilty about the whole thing. Anyone else out there dealing with something like this? Other than having my FI as a buffer I really don't know what else to do.

This has to be the most rediciulous thing that I have ever read!  It's also NOT the first time I've heard of this coming from Moon Palace.  How do they think this is good business? 

 

They can change things whenever they want but they take weeks to months to get back to you!

 

Essential0929 I really hope that work something out with you since you have a contract on file. 

 

mrsjdh2b would you mind sharing janina's contact info, since Lisa won't contact me back I'd love to have someone else to try to speak with!

Does anyone have more formal info (like a link) to the 2012 Kids Stay Free promo?

[Bojanglesgirl]

Great Question, I only see the promo for this year (2011).  If someone does have it I would like a copy of that information as well!

If it helps any. I was able to book my trip for August 2012 and asked about the deposit per person (does this include the kids who are under 13?). I was told NO. deposit is for those who will be 13+ at the time of travel NOT booking. This was told to me by Lusa Lizano Wedding Coordinator in Miami today at 3pm.

You will have to write Janina and ask for a new contract.  I did the same thing.  It's a different contract for a symbolic ceremony but is not a problem.  We are getting married in August 2011 and I switched recently with no problem.
