Hi girls! I was wondering if any now sapphire brides have any comments on the videographers they have at the NOW resorts. Do you know if there is a vendor fee for videographers ? I know for photographer its only about $75 a person but for all other vendors I believe it's $300 so I was wondering what the deal is for videoagraphers. I heard the photographers weren't so good so I'm going with Del Sol but I'm still in the process of figuring out the video situation. Thanks! Brittany

Hi  Brittany,

 

I was just discussing this with Anel last week via email and she said:

Regarding an outside Videographer, we have the same policy as the photographer (day pass + meals)

 

I assume this is per person... so if your photographer or videographer have an assistant or second shooter, I'm guessing the cost is day pass + meal for each.

 

I found that the videographer packages are quite expensive at the resort. I plan to book with Gallardo Films... as soon as I can convince my fiancée that we need to have videography!!

 

hope this helps!

Has anyone been married on the beach terrace at Now Sapphire? The Tequila Terrace is booked for the dates we wanted and I don't care to have my ceremony on the beach.

We had our wedding at on the Tequilia Terrace, but we did see the beach Terrace.  It fairly exposed to the pool area, so if you were getting married during the day, you would have all the pool activity going on around you.

 

Is there any way you can change your wedding date during your stay there>  I had originally wanted to get married at the end of the week that we were there (ie a Thursday or Friday), but they only had Tuesday available for the Tequilia Terrace.  I made the switch and took the Tuesday - and I am so so glad we did.  It was worth it!   Depends what you want though, privacy was up on my list of priority, so it was worth it for me to switch.

I got married on the beach terrace on August 17th. It was the perfect location for my crew of 46 guest. My wedding was at 5pm. The pool crowd didn't bother me one bit and they were not in any of the pictures.

I am so happy to hear that. My daughter is getting married on Jan. 10, 2014 at 3:30pm on the beach terrace. I have not seen many pics of weddings or receptions on the beach terrace. She wants to wear beautiful heels  and with the open slats on the tequila terrace heels would not work. Would love to see some of your pictures!

Hi Now Sapphire brides! Need help deciding on a photographer! If anyone could send me pictures or recommendations I would really appreciate it! Although expense is a concern (because I want to do TTD and videographer), artsy photos to capture the essense of the day is also very important!

[JillianB16]

I agree - if you have any pictures you could share I'd love to see how the ceremony turned out
