I am getting married at ROR Oct 24 09, I have booked with Riu.com and gave me cc info for deposit. What is the next thing that I should be doing. I sent out annoucements to people to see who would like to go. No problem, But as far as the resort whats my next step, I would love to have a receptions but what is the best place disco etc... Ladies this is so hard for me I need all the help and advise I can get. When should I try and book for a reception is it better to go with free package than the royal. so many questions please be patient with me lol. I dont know if you have gotton your ROR questions answered yet, but I would advise you to send a email to Chandlyn the wedding cordinator at ROR to book your Dinner. do you plan on having alot of people, or a smaller group. Semiprivate dinner was good for me and I had 25 guests. I couldnt even tell there were other people there. The main thing is the dancing part of the reception. That is going to cost extra and you have the option of having it at the disco and Seagrapes bar on the beach. I totally love the idea of the reception on the beach, but you will have to pay $10 pp to open the bar, plus DJ expense. I think the disco costs a straight 250. This is 2008 prices. I would book that ASAP because there could be up to 3 weddings and there are only those two areas (I think). I went with the free package and added on. Thats the way I would recomend, the only difference I could tell is the possible room upgrade and the spa treatments.
There are TONS of ROR brides, reviews, and inforamtional threads here. You are in the right place.
Here are some of the older ROR threads.
