We ask that all guests please read our Q&A's. This will answer many questions that you will have in regards to traveling and logistics. Additionally, Cornelia, our Wedding and Travel Specialist is available to answer any of your questions and assist with booking the best deal for you!
How do I RSVP?
To RSVP for Allison and Raynard's wedding you must place a deposit of $100 per person for your room accommodations and round-trip ground transportation by November 30, 2022. To place a deposit CLICK HERE to review the resort, travel accommodations and pick your room! Once you have selected your room click "Book My Room" and submit your reservation form.
​
Can I bring a guest(s) with me?
Invited guests are more than welcome to bring their spouse or fiancé/ee to the wedding. Since we are limited to the amount of guests that can attend our wedding ceremony & reception, unmarried guests are welcome to bring a plus one to enjoy all other wedding weekend events with us; however, the wedding ceremony & reception is invitation-only, unless otherwise granted permission by Allison or Raynard. Children are not allowed (no exceptions) outside of those who are a part of the wedding party. Passport Travelers Agency can arrange travel for these additional friends and family members coming to vacation, but not attending the actual ceremony and reception.
​
When is the RSVP date?
The resort has limited availability (due to social distancing and other factors); therefore, we are asking for invitees to officially RSVP by making a deposit of $100 per person to secure your accommodations on or before November 30, 2022 to be added to our reserved room block and group activities throughout the wedding weekend.
​
When is the final payment due and payment schedule?
​Due to the large room block requested to accommodate all guests, final payments are due April 15, 2023. Partial payments are encouraged, but not required. Reminders will be sent frequently.

Yes, we request that all guests only utilize our dedicated planner and travel coordinators at Passport Travelers Agency as it will help us to keep the entire group organized and included in our planned group activities, and informed of logistics and frequent updates.

Additionally, Passport Travelers Agency has flexible cancellation policies and flexible payment plans, making your travel arrangements even more affordable and convenient. If you've ever tried to contact an online travel company to make changes or cancellations, you'll appreciate the benefit of using a local, boutique travel agency (especially during times of uncertainty).
Can I upgrade my room?
Absolutely! As long as the resort has availability for your travel dates. See the Pricing page for rooms that we have
pre-selected in our group. If you wish to book a different room category, please indicate your desired room on your reservation form. Passport Travelers Agency will contact you with pricing and next steps.
​
What if my potential travel companion (roomie) is TBD, unknown at this time, or not ready to book?
Time waits for no one :) Book without them and add them to your reservation at a later time. Since rooms are first come first serve based on the room block availability, be sure to reserve the room for just yourself and we can add them when they are ready. Solo occupancy hotel rates are higher than double occupancy. When we add your travel companion in the future, you'll recognize the double occupancy savings. Rates are refreshed at the time future changes are made.
​
What if I find a price that is cheaper than Passport Travelers Agency?
Passport Travelers Agency attempts to secure the lowest rate possible within the room block. We also allow the ability to make a flexible payment plan payment arrangements and with refundable options in the event of an emergency. Online travel companies often offer non-refundable rates higher prices for accommodations and ground transportation
​
Is round-trip ground transportation provided?
Private round trip ground transportation is an additional $50 per person. Private transportation allows no stops and only members of your wedding group are able to be transported with you. Transportation companions are based on arrival and departure time to the airport.

Will there be any other events during the weekend that I should prepare for?
​Yes. Please stay tuned on the "Itinerary and Attire" page for further information, and especially as the trip approaches. Please review the attire underneath each event very closely. ​​

What is the best way to find good flight deals?
Flights are purchased separately, and we suggest setting up flight alerts. Our favorite is Google flights and Hooper app because it includes a wider range of airlines. Use search engines to find the best deal, but remember to book the flight directly via the airline to maximize your flexibility if your plans were to change. ​
