FAQ: What is the cost? Who do we pay?



A lot of people have been asking about the cost of staying at Montes for the weekend with meals, drinks etc. We have organised for Montes to provide all guests with 1 BBQ dinner on the Friday night and a brunch on both Saturday and Sunday morning (so folks don't drink too much ;-)).

Now as far as dollars are concerned, we would ask that everyone contribute $150 per person for the weekend which includes accommodation. Stephanie Hartley (Buzz's super responsible sister and bridesmaid) will collect this from everyone on the Friday night. Thanks!!

Speaking of cash - Montes has limited EFTPOS facilities, so its a good idea to bring some cash for drinks, any extra meals or snacks, or a Montes souvenir tea spoon or tea towel!

Also, if you'd prefer to have a drink back at your cabin patio or on the beach rather than at the bar, Montes will also be selling takeaway alcohol (e.g. carton beer) over-the-bar at special prices. They have requested that guests do not bring alcohol from outside on to the resort premises.

12 weeks to go -invitations coming out soon!

2008: The Countdown Begins!!!

We arrived back from Africa in one piece after an amazing trip to Tanzania (and a quick and nervous dash back and forth to Nairobi airport in Kenya!). The people are beautifully welcoming, the wildlife amazing, and the scenery is breathtaking! In short, it exceeded my expectations. BUT its time to get our feet firmly on the ground as the wedding is only 3 months away and although we thought everything was in hand - we need to do lots more organisation!
Buzz is doing a quick trip to Mackay and Airlie Beach next week to tie up a few loose ends with the venue and caterers -good luck sweetheart! I'm glad its you and not me.
