How fun!  What time and at what locations are you having your wedding?  How's the planning going?  I'm hoping to finish up my invitations in the next 2 weeks and send them out.  I went on a site visit last summer if you have any questions.  If you haven't been to Now Jade, you will love it!  Let's just keep praying for clear skies and sun on the 13th :-)

Hey all. Fi and I are heading to cancun on Monday and have a meeting with pilar on wednesday. If there is anything I can look at for you, let me know. I will be getting a good look at the reception set ups ( my biggest fear) and finalizing details.

Hi Girls,

 

My fiancee and I are getting married at NOW Jade on February 2nd, with 51 guests attending. This board has been so helpful to me in answering questions that we have. I was a little too relaxed in the planning process, and now I am starting to stress out with our wedding only a month away and nothing but the locations set. We are having the Pergola ceremony, and Terrace reception. We originally chose the Orange Lounge for the cocktail hour, but then I read that it would be too small for 50 people, so I'm trying to change to the Blue Beach Bar. 

 

My primary question is whether any brides have found that Pilar is not willing to swap out anything in the packages. There are quite a few things from the Divine package that we didn't need, and one reason I chose this resort was that so many brides mentioned that they were quite flexible with substitutions. I'm getting worried that we are quickly going to go over budget.

 

Thank you again for all the help and inspiration!

Jillian

Hey Jillian,

 

My wedding is not until April, but from what I have heard from Pilar and read on here, they really do not swap anything out- although it seems some girls have been lucky once they arrived down there.  I emailed Pilar even asking to swap out some flowers that I did not need and she said sorry, there were not any substiutions- if you don't use it you lose it.  However, I have heard your best bet is when trying to swap something out for something similar- i.e. not using the hotel photographer and then being able to put more time to the videographer or using their photog for a TTD or rehearsal dinner.

 

Bottom line, I would not count on it and keep your fingers crossed you will get lucky down there.
