WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE COMPLIMENTARY PRIVATE FUNCTIONS PROVIDED THROUGH OUR WEDDING GROUP BENEFITS?
Couples can earn either a cocktail party OR a private event with their group benefits:
A cocktail party includes location, staff, high cocktail tables with standard linens, an open bar, and hors d’oeuvres for all guests.
A private event includes the location, staff, tables with standard linens, dinner, and an open bar for all guests.
DO YOU ALLOW OUTSIDE VENDORS?
Yes. All of our properties provide couples with various in-house services. The party may choose to bring a third party vendor from their country of origin and if the vendor is providing Photography, Videography, Hair, Makeup, or DJ with no equipment, the outside vendor staff must stay on property for a minimum of three (3) nights, and must have an individual reservation made under the name or names of the outside vendor staff directly.
Please note the fees and conditions applied to third-party vendors:
There is a vendor fee ($1,500.00) per business/service provider hired by the couple and outside our list of preferred vendors.
We apply this fee to each service that the vendor may provide.
Each vendor staff member who requires access on additional days must purchase a vendor pass.
Third-party vendors must pay a Vendor Supervision Fee ($1,500) and Insurance Policy ($500,000) to carry out audiovisual work, bring their DJ equipment, or install heavy-duty materials (trussing structures, tents, hanging fabrics, etc.) within our establishment.
For weddings in Mexico, outside vendors must provide a copy of their REPSE form.
IS THERE A REQUIREMENT OF HOW MANY GUESTS MUST STAY AT THE PROPERTY TO ATTEND THE WEDDING & RECEPTION?
80% of the total number of guests are required to stay on property. The guests that do not stay on property are required to purchase a day pass. The hotel will only allow the purchase of wedding passes up to a maximum of 20% of the total number of guests attending the wedding. Guests with wedding passes must leave the hotel by 11:00PM. The day passes are only guaranteed on the day of the ceremony. See prices per person here.
