Even though I had the wedding of my dreams, there was a huge jerk that tried to ruin things. That's right, Steve from Beach Bums I'm calling you out! We went with Beach Bum Vacations because everyone on this board raved about them. So we started off with Kathy & she was a hot mess!! She gave us ridiculously high prices & kept saying things that didn't make sense. Come to find out she mainly dealt with cruises & thought she could swing a destination wedding. Um wrong!
So once again since everyone here loved BBV, we decided to stick it out & try Steve. He turned out to be the biggest jerk of all. He never wanted to do anything!! If you asked him to check with the resort on something or compare a price, he'd give you this looong winded email explaining why it wouldn't work. But if you did it yourself you'd find that it actually was possible.
We figured out that once we signed the contract guaranteeing 50 rooms, he stopped working! DO NOT SIGN A CONTRACT WITH THESE PEOPLE. He was SO RUDE not only to us but to our guests! We had over 60 people and literally everyone who dealt with him complained to us. EVERYONE! 66 people can't be wrong Steve.
So on cyber Monday Bookit.com had this crazy deal where our resort was half off if everyone booked by midnight. I shot Steve an email to see if he could match the price, since they illegedly did price matching. Instead he gave me this long email basically saying no. (Looking back, once we signed the contract he was not trying to help us. He could care less about getting us a deal because he was getting paid either way). So get this people- 50 of our guests booked with Bookit.com & scored the half price deal (including us). Of course Steve was pissed & he just kept throwing this contract in our face.
I started getting stressed because we needed at least 10 rooms to be booked with BBV or else we'd have to give them $5,000 (insane). But we were torn because we wanted people to be able to afford our wedding weekend. So literally the day before the contract deadline, we had 9 people (who had missed the deal) book through Steve. We couldn't find 1 last person for the life of us. But literally hours before time was up, hubby & I did some intense brainstorming & remembered that with our resort if we book 6 rooms we get an extra free. Aka our 10th room!! When we told Steve there was literally nothing he could say. WE WON (lol). He continued being a jerk to those 9 who booked through him (unfortunately) and didn't even wish us well. There was no "congrats". Once those 9 were booked he just stopped communicating with us. ARE YOU SERIOUS?!
So yea, Bookit.com is the way to go people. There staff is SUPER friendly, almost available 24 hours & will never be rude to you. They always have crazy deals going on so check them out!!
