CHECK!! Put down my deposit with destinationwedding.com last night!

Can't wait until our consultant calls me!

What all info should I have ready (am thinking location ideas, prices...what else?)

Re: CHECK!! Put down my deposit with destinationwedding.com last night!

  • Hmmm...I wondered about that...I was really hoping to have someone help with the planning of the actual ceremony.

    Wonder if it's too late to bug out?

    Thanks for the tips regardless! :)

    I know I was disappointed too.  I wanted someone to plan the wedding.  Looking back, I probably would have just booked the hotel & airfare myself (saved money) and worked with the hotel directly.  The only nice thing is your guests can book directly through the TA and that makes it easier.

  • Your wedding coordinator at your resort will do all the day of plans..check out DW's website, they outline all they do.  They are travel agents.  I went with them and am very happy.

  • BTW Pink, what do you mean by saving money, was beach bums not free?  DW is, they put the $50 depost towards your payment and will price match so you get the lowest possible price.

  • I think Beach Bums is $150 deposit...I think.

    (But OBVIOUSLY I don't read fine print too well)
  • Wonderful check! I'm with Desitnation Weddings as well and am happy I went with them. The hotel's wedding coordinator is your prime help to plan the ceremony. Your TA is there to ensure everyone is booked and has the transfers to the hotel. If someone backs down then they can re-arrange the room list to ensure the rooms (if you do group rate like we did) is booked. I liked knowing that the rooms are ours and will not be given to anyone else. Hotels overbook their rooms so we were afraid that would happen to our guests and they'll find once they get there that they have no room or have to wait for a room. 
  • I am also with them.  They are doing a wonderful job for me.  I have a great consultant that is always available pretty much 24/7.  

    My resort is doing all the planning for my day of...And it is going well so far.
