Wedding Package Questions

[BreezyBride2013]

Hi there!

 

 

Just wondering if someone can point me in the right direction...We are getting married in February 2013 in Dominican.

 

I have three resorts picked out: Barcelo Bavaro Palace, Melia Caribe and Majestic Elegance

 

I am working with a great travel agent who is getting us a group rate.

 

I am wondering how the wedding packages work? I know some come with the hotel, but I hear this happens when you book a regular rate and not a group rate...

 

Also, I know Air Transat has wedding packages but these do not apply to all hotels

 

Should i just be dealing with the wedding coordinators at each hotel directly to find out the pricing of their packages?

 

I also don't want an expensive package, something basic...no reception..

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I think the easiest thing to do would be to deal with each resort seperately in regards to wedding packages.  Each resort has their own packages.  I would email the wedding coordinators at these specific resorts inquiring about the packages they offer and price.  Air Transat does have their own packages, but we still found it easier to use the once provided from the resort as they wedding planners are familiar with them from their own resort rather then Transats.  I also have never heard that the wedding packages are different based on group rates.  We used a group rate (as Im sure most destination wedding groups do) and got the same wedding packages if we didnt use the group rate.
