@@jennifernoel1 Yes it's def stressful to try to accommodate everyone! I already can't wait for all this planning to be over. I'm just ready to be in Jamaica already! Lol

@@jennifernoel1 that's actually not bad i thought i would have been higher...how many rooms did you block?

@@helenk @@FutureMrsGlover @@budgetbride2015

 

Yea, i understand as it cost $1000 to block the rooms. But I called all my friends that I knew could pay their deposit and send them the TA info. The prices have already gone up by $55 I don't want to risk it being any higher. I'm trying to keep my guest under $800

You should be able to keep it under $800 esp if most of your guests are flying from Florida (flights are usually pretty reasonable to JA) how long are most of your guests staying for?

I'm completely confused on the "room block." I'm using a travel agent but she never mentioned a room block - she is just taking $150 deposits per person to reserve the room and she said prices won't change (but could go down, or they will also price match a sale price on any travel site).

 

Now I'm wondering if I should double verify with her on the prices. Our wedding isn't until June and I definitely don't want people paying more.

I have contacted several agents and they have all pretty much said the same thing. Some don't recommend a room block because if the prices go down you may not get the discounted rate (but that all depends on whatever specials are going on at the time).

 

However because I have stayed at this hotel before and there's a wedding the day after mine I don't want to risk my guest paying a higher price because I know it can get sold out.

 

My guest shouldn't be paying any more than $700-800. Air fare from Florida is around $221-268. Our deposit is only $50 per person.

 

@@budgetbride2015 I blocked 10 rooms.

@@jennifernoel1 that's not bad at all thanks something to think about. My wedding is in august I don't think we'll have that issue with the rooms selling out but I could be wrong

@@jennifernoel1

Did you block the rooms through your TA? Is the $1000 the price for 10 rooms ? I'm wondering if I should block the rooms now....

[jennifernoel1]

@@budgetbride2015 @@helenk the hotel requires that you block ten rooms. Yes, the agent blocked the ten rooms for me. 

 

What I did was send out my wedding website to all of my friend and famil. The  site has the deposit information and  the room prices as of now. I advised them to pay their deposit so that they can lock in this rate. 

 

Per the agent, if the price drops and its not for new customers we'll be able to obtain the discount. However if the lower rate is for new customers only we wont be able to get the lower price. 

 

I choose this agent because out of all the agents i sent an email to she was the fastest to respond and she had a lower deposit than everyone else.

@@jennifernoel1 do you mind if i ask the rates you were given? I'm still waiting for my travel agent to get back to me which sucks because i wanted to have this info before this weekend so i can at least give it to my bridal party and close relatives

Since i'm so early but really don't want to wait till the last minute i think i'm going to start with making 30 of everything and then as people book add on. My family keeps joking that i might be having twins that one's hiding (NOT FUNNY) but if that's the case I won't have time to do anything (unless i clone myself)....LOL!!!
