Hi, thank you
I will take a look at your photos now. Can I ask how much the package was & what you got, and then what you ended up upgrading on. Also, do you know the choices of the reception areas? That's good to hear, as I still would love a GF dessert party- but was unsure of it if I did S&D Thanks for replying |

I think it is worth checking out booking direct rather than through Virgin. I think you will have more control and it may well be cheaper!

Yeah! The first girl I spoke to forwarded her emails on, and it seemed to be Virgin that said the beach venue was a problem & would cost A LOT of money to set up too,
Thanks for your reply, it has made me feel a lot happier. I have contacted Just Marry- did you do it direct? So just waiting to hear back from them about packages & what I actually get for my money & what I'd be looking at spending more on |

Hi sweetie
Yes I went direct and booked directly through JM. It was great and they were very efficient! I have a PJ/TR on the 'Disboards' if you want to take a peek! disboards/showthread.php?t=2513856

Swan & Dolphin Wedding
Hi,
I'm getting married on 27th Sep 2011 at the Swan & Dolphin. I have booked it through Virgin and i'm having it on the beach. They tried to tell me it cost more but it doesn't. If you want all the decorations then it does, but there is a company in Florida that does it at half the price the hotel charges. I was also told they wouldn't provide chairs, so i complained to the hotel and now they are providing them for free. I have a very good wedding co-ordinator in florida who has been brilliant. Hope this helps a bit x |

Hi sweetie
We watched the fireworks from the 'Top of the World' Lounge at the Bay Lake Tower. It is a lounge reserved exclusively for the use of guests staying at BLT on points. If you were staying at BLT on DVC points (even if you rented them), you could use it too! I can see that booking a S/D wedding through Virgin is definitely more troublesome than booking direct! I booked our VR direct with JM and had none of this trouble at all! Everything was included in the basic package (planner, chairs, ceremony site, water station, back-up rain site, room to get ready in if required and plates, cutlery, glasses, napkins etc for the cake/champagne reception). I reserched and booked my own photographer, officiant, musician and cake maker, Karen, my planner helped me research and book my florist and limo. I definitely had more control and probably saved money by avoiding booking through an outside company!

wow, it looks amazing! So was it only the people who stayed at BLT that went up there with you?
Yes, it seems so, I have made contact with JustMarry, so hopefully will get a bit more info from them & what is involved. I like the package deals, there are obv some things I'd change/upgrade on, but in general it would be good to have. Thanks for your help |
