ROR Receptions

Thanks for the e-mail address:) I appreciate it. I used weddings@riu.com and never got a response.

Is it $5 or $50 per person?

Open bar comes at a cost of US10 persons. This is available from 6:30pm -10:30pm. The DJ is at an additional cost of US 150 per hour.   Does anyone know if there is more than one DJ?! Or if there is a place to set up a cd player or IPOD around the pool? I guess I should have asked Chandlyn about this....   Im assuming if they can get a cd player on the beach for the ceremony, they will be able to set up a cd by the pool....

$5 per person is just for table and chair setup

$10 per person is for open bar

$15 for just the reception (no food) which includes open bar, tables, chairs and candles.

$50 ($55 in 2009) is for a full reception including chairs, tables, food, and drink

Hi Jill,

How long did it take for Chadlyn to get back to you...I am really stressing out about booking the PoolSide. I NEED to get this....and am just about to book a flight over there to talk to her in person. lol

Im considering this option as well for my June wedding, I just hope that it hasnt booked already. If anyone has additional emails or information from Chandlyn, please email me at divadivine25 at gmail dot com. TIA ladies!!!

Now keep your fingers crossed that it hasn't already booked!!

I have no idea how to get my pictures up on here. I have jpgs and I dont know how to convert them. So anywhoo if anyone would like to see pictures of the pool setup PM me and I can send some to you.

Hi ladies,

I was reading thru this thread...and I see you guys chatting back and forth about trying to book your receptions. Well, OUR wedding isn't until May 2010--which we have booked since March---do you guys know how soon you can actually book your reception venues? I know our wedding is still a year away--but there's three weddings a day....what if all three wedding parties want to book The Seagrape, or all three want to book the poolside for receptions? lol....I'm a planner--and I want to get the major things booked....what are the chances of being able to book something this far ahead ya think?? I'd hate to start sending emails n stuff to the wedding department a year in advance..but if thats what I got to do...............

Thanks for the helpful info. I LOVE the idea of having dinner in one of the resturants and then having a party at Seagrape.... and much more cost effective too!! How far in advnace did you book Seagrape for the reception?

Thanks for your help.
