What a wedding here really costs
Package prices are not public, so the main cost drivers are your venue, menu, bar hours, décor and guest count. Using the agency-listed starting rate of $110 per guest:
- 30 guests: 30 x $110 = about $3,300.
- 60 guests: 60 x $110 = about $6,600.
- 100 guests: 100 x $110 = about $11,000.
Treat these as a floor. Florals, décor, photography and upgrades add to the total. Guests not staying at the resort buy a wedding pass for the day. Pricing varies by date; request a current quote.
Bringing your own photographer or planner
The outside vendor policy and fee are not published. The Truly Yours package includes a $300 photography credit toward resort services. If you would like to bring your own photographer or planner, ask the resort for the current policy and any fee.
Guest rooms and room blocks
Suites range from Ambassador family suites to Grand Class and Zen Grand presidential suites. A deposit of 5% of the total room block cost secures your date and venue. Room rates vary by season; request a current quote.
