**From Sunwing's FAQ Document

1. I have received the e-vite and would like to attend the wedding. How can I book my trip?

Each wedding group is assigned to a Sunwing Weddings Travel Account Manager. Guests will receive a “Save the Date” email invitation from the Sunwing Weddings Travel Account Manager outlining the deposit and final payment deadlines, a link to the booking form, and their contact information.

If you have any questions, please e-mail your Travel Account Manager, or call our toll-free phone number at 1-888-252-5436. Our phone lines are answered Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST, excluding holidays. Our entire Sunwing Weddings Team is here to assist you with your questions, including the Sunwing Weddings Travel Account Manager.

To start your booking, guests are asked to complete the secure on-line booking form or send their booking information by e-mail. For security reasons, please do not send your credit card number in writing.

To secure your booking, a non-refundable/non-transferrable deposit of $150 per person is required. If purchasing insurance, the non-refundable insurance cost will be due at the time of your initial booking.

Your booking request will be confirmed, based upon availability once the payment is processed successfully. An automated response e-mail will be sent if we receive your on-line booking form. Please allow up to 10 business days for processing.

A confirmation e-mail will be sent once the booking information has been processed.

The final payment due date is listed on the e-vite. Guests can make partial payments until the final payment due date.

When booking with Sunwing Weddings, the wedding couple has assumed responsibility as the Group Leaders. Any major changes to the booking can only be made through the Group Leaders.

https://www.sunwing.ca/en/confirm/terms-and-conditions

Please contact the reward program directly for more information.

21. Will Sunwing price match the individual online rates if we find a better price online at a later date?

Kindly note that individual rates are not indicative of group pricing and we are unable to match the online rates. It is not recommended to book a wedding group individually as you will need to ensure that the hotel has enough availability for your entire group.

For example, that rate online might only be available for 2 people and the price would go up again. There is no way of knowing when the prices will change online as they are constantly fluctuating.

By booking as a group the air space and hotel rooms are secured for all guests and you are given more time to provide payment information. The rates will also remain the same for all guests.

The group rates you received at the time your group was contracted were the best available. Rates online are for individual reservations based on current availability and not for larger groups. We are not able to compare prices from earlier in the year to prices online at a later date as the rates are subject to change at any time.

The rates are significantly less than the online rates at the time you confirmed the group. Once a booking is contracted, those rates are final. If new guests wish to book individually online, you are welcome to do so but keep in mind they will not count towards the group.

22. Does Sunwing offer Price Drop Guarantees? What if my rate decreases?

If you notice that the rates are significantly lower online, the Group Leaders may request a price drop check from your Travel Account Manager. The Group Leaders will advise the current Sunwing group rates and availability. Should there be enough space in our system to re-book the entire group at the current group rates for the exact same room categories/duration/gateways for the entire booking, we can offer a one-time price adjustment on your group rates outside of 90 days prior to departure.

The current rates can be found on the sunwing.ca website. The Price Drop Guarantee is not applicable to group rates from another tour operator or travel agency.

All previous promotions, including but not limited to the Instant Group Savings promotion and any extras for the wedding couple will be null and void if the Price Drop Guarantee rates are applied.

Should space be reserved from multiple departure cities, a price adjustment must apply for all gateways included in the group and cannot be for only one particular gateway. If applicable, maximum reduction of $200 CAD per adult and $100 CAD per child applies. The Price Drop Guarantee is applicable to the group booking, in its entirety i.e., if the entire group booking does not qualify, the Price Drop will not be applicable. Our price guarantee is not applicable to land only, air only, Florida, Las Vegas or Europe, or bookings made with special hotel contract conditions.

The current group rates must be lower for every passenger who has booked a package with the wedding group.

Please note any rate reductions are applicable only for your confirmed booking. The Price Drop Guarantee is not applicable for any changes to a room category, occupancy, duration, date or gateway. This means that you cannot make a change to your current booking in order to get a lower price for another room category, room category, occupancy, duration, date or gateway. Price drops can only be requested by the Group Leaders. A minimum of 10 paying travellers will be required for a Price Drop Guarantee to be requested.

Additional terms and conditions will be advised to the Group Leaders.

If a rate reduction is applicable, the group will be notified once it has been completed.

23. When will flight times be available?

Flight times are released approximately 4-6 months prior to departure. Please note that all flight times, schedules, airlines and type of aircraft, as well as itineraries, are subject to change with or without prior notice, up to and including the day of departure.

Your Travel Account Manager will provide a link when your e-documents are available in which you can retrieve your e-documents, purchase seat selection, etc.

26. Are there any additional taxes/fees to be paid for my vacation?
