Thanks for posting that!!!!!!!

Can you please post this on the page instead of a thread because I can't open it. Thank you!

Thanks Shannon I definitely do not want to use the time to get the trial done so I am really glad I don't have too!!!!

Thank you! I do have a pretty good picture of what I would like to have and I think it is pretty simple so I may skip the trial!

Hair Trial? Hi any former EDR brides did any of you do a hair/makeup trial? I was wondering if it is really worth it or if I would just be losing that much more time the? Thanks for any help!!!

To answer most of it................The dinner is typically used as either your wedding dinner or possibly a rehearsal dinner. It is not a private event, although you can choose to pay for one. Then they will give you a restaurant as well as the menu and you can choose one salad, one soup, two entrees and one dessert.......there were a few choices of each to pick from. Keep in mind there are other restaurants that you can choose from even tho they only offer you one! As for the set-up I was told they will kinda section off as best they can a portion of the restaurant to keep the group as close together as possible. The only answer I am not sure of is what happens if you go beyond the 40 person count. Hope this helps. I am getting married at EDR in October and am using the free dinner as a rehearsal/get together dinner the night before the wedding and then we are paying for a private cocktail party the night of the wedding.

Ta Jill I had not read that they had changed to policy back but my post was still correct in what it said! That's awesome that they changed it back. That would have been helpful if I still thought I had to pay for my vendor to stay at the hotel. But there is still the $500 fee I talked about as well as mid-way thru my planning they had changed it but still stuck with the original deal we had made! Just wanted everyone to be aware to keep all emails!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to post this in defense of EDR......there are many resorts that have the same rules that you can not bring in outside vendors w/o paying extra which while it sucks is understandable, everyone likes to make money! Mid-way thru my booking EDR changed it's rules that now not only do you have to pay the extra $500 for the outside vendor you also have to pay for them to stay at the resort for 3 nights. Because I was told in the begining that it was only the $500 rule they stuck with that! Make sure you save all of your emails! Also never forget trying to negotiate with the outside vendor. I asked mine and they are splitting the $500 fee with me!

Thanks girls! If anyone has any information or little tips on the hotel, excursion just any good infor that would be great. Also we are getting married in the Chapel and having a private reception with the Mexican menu selection if anyone has any input on that!

Hello I'm Nicole and I am getting married October 18,2008 at the El Dorado royale just wondering if anyone had any information to share ;o)
