wave Wedding Help

Hi Kate,

Yes, I know from personal experience that RIU resort's wedding program is not the easiest to work with with. We even stopped suggesting their resorts for weddings over a year ago because of all the problems. There was on issue in 2007 where the event was available, we booked it and got a confirmation code. Then about 10 days later we get an email from them stating that the date and time where no longer available and actually that whole week was not. Sorry but that was not an easy call to make to a client because it looked bad on us, not the RIU resorts. That is why we work with professional resorts that do not give us that concern. But we need to know what is your concern so we can can help.

If you want to write in here or send me an email, whichever you feel comfortable with. Let's see if we can calm your fears and get you all set!

I look forward to your next post.

Take care,
Lindsay

Default Thanks for the feedback

I am glad to see a reply concerning this particular resort. I had a client that was interested in a Mexico DW and I was looking at them. I have never worked with them prior and needed that feedback.

I don’t quite understand why having a meeting
is an excuse not to provide support for several days.
It just blows my mind !
