OFFICIAL NOW Jade Wedding Thread

[SherriJK]

Hi Everyone,

After months of reading this forum and getting some great ideas, I thought I should start adding to the discussions. We are getting married at the Now Jade on November 12/14 with 20 guests. I have hired a destination wedding consultant so I haven't had the frustration of dealing directly with the resort but it sometimes takes forever for replies (I waited two months for questions on entrees and wedding activities) Ours is a very simple wedding but we did go for the Divine Package. I am using the Guitarist for the wedding ceremony.We are not having a private dance, instead we are heading to the club after dinner.Ive already had two guests with private rooms say their rooms are officially the party rooms. I am doing a few activities that are Mexican culture. I agree with the upcoming brides that its hard to figure out tables with a small group.  I look forward to joining the discussion.

UGH! Sent in my final paperwork and budget worksheet to Pilar over 2 weeks ago and still no response.

 

I am trying to finalize my timeline so I can print out fan programs, timelines for the welcome bags, etc...

 

I need to know what time she plans to meet me when I arrive, if we can have a rehearsal at the pergola, if our included private transfer can include my parents, and if the guitarist for the ceremony plays from start to finish and if there is a set song list or do I get to choose from songs he knows??

That's so frustrating that she is taking so long to reply, maybe resend the email again?? I get responses back from Ariadna within 12 hours for the most part. Once I had to resend an email but she said she hadn't gotten it and replied quickly.

I have sent it more than once, at least every 4-5 days! Before I was officially booked I was talking with Ariadna too and she was very good getting back to me with my questions. Once I was working with Pilar - I guess she is my 'official' wedding coordinator then I emailed Ariadna a question and Pilar was not happy about it. She said 'if you want a different wedding coordinator then just tell me and stop emailing other coordinators'. At that point I didn't even know I was 'assigned' to a certain one. It seems like when you are first booking they are all about helping you then once you are officially booked they start blowing you off. I completely understand there are a lot of brides and they are very busy but this is getting a little crazy!

1 week out! Isela is my WC. She's great.! She responds within the hour or so. I think she may also work from home bc I sent an email around mid night a few days ago and I had a response within minutes..

Hi Lovely Brides to Be,

 

I am getting married at Now Jade on April 29th and have chosen the Divine Package. Not sure how many guests since we are still waiting on RSVPs. 

 

I was wondering if anyone has been/heard of reviews of Coco Bongo? I was thinking about planning a post-wedding night out there but wondering what it's like. 

 

Thanks!

I was there when we stayed in Cancun. It is fun, a younger crown. Much more of a night life than the resort. But it is about a 40 minute bus/cab ride to get there.

@@Meg32IL so I guess it's not parents appropriate? lol

 

also, I saw that you have rented a boat for your guests and said that this could be done through the resort - do you think it would be better to wait and book something there or do it before hand?
