Hey kenwedjam0902,

Congrats on your upcoming nuptials.  You must be really excited.

I'm booked to get married October 14/11 and am in the same predicament as you.  My family loves to party and dance!!!  What are your plans after your reception dinner?  Do you plan to rent the gazebo or are you skipping all that and going to the disco.  One of our friends is a DJ back home and he is dying to play at our wedding.  Not sure how this will work but I hope so!!

Thanks for your help,

duckkeisha

It has been soo long since I have been here.  I have soo much reading to do but I can't because my wedding is in 30 days!!!!  I can't believe its next month...  I still have to print programs and the weekend brochure...  But I will leave it in the hands of Kinkos to get it all printed for me.  But before I finalize my documents I have a few questions for past brides.

 

How much time did you have between your ceremony and reception??  Our wedding ceremony starts at 4pm but Chandlyn just said that our reception will start at 6:30pm.  That's 2 1/2 hours!!  I plan on our ceremony lasting at the most 45 minutes and then pictures should take about an hour but what will the guest be doing at that time??  Does anyone know what the closest bar to the Dolce Vita Restaurant is?? And is it open air or air conditioned??

 

What’s the name of the resort disco??  We are having 140 guests at our wedding and they love to party so our four hour reception isn't long enough.  So we are telling everyone that we are going to continue to party at the resort disco.  Do most people change after the reception or just go straight to the disco. I am trying to decide it I want to buy another dress for the after party...

 

Where is a good location for our guests to meet for the Welcome Reception??  Chandlyn said the lobby bar is open at 8pm and in a central location but I just wanted to know if there are any other options.

 

How do guest make dinner reservations before their arrival at the resort?
 
Can guest reserve beach and pool cabana before they arrive at the resort?  I read that they can on tripadvisor but I can't figure out who they should contact?

 

Thanks so much for you help!

Congratulations on what looked like a beautiful and memorable wedding day!!!!  I'm very happy that your wedding turned out so beautifully and I can only hope to have as good a time as you did.

Hi funkybride,

Just wondering....My family loves to dance and have fun and I don't feel that 2 hrs is enough time to dance after the dinner at the gazebo.  What are you planning to do post-reception dinner?

I really want to bring a friend of mine who is a DJ but I am wondering if there is room for dancing at the restaurant and also how long they let you stay after dinner b4 kicking you out?

TFYH,

Thanks Jaykay,

You were right---email seems to be the only way to get in contact with them.....Finally got confirmed for Oct 14th, really wanted the 15th but that's ok. 

Hey GBPJ brides!!

Question:  How long did it take the wedding planners to finalize your wedding date?  I have sent 2 faxes with our wedding info and have yet to receive a response.  This wedding is kinda last minute and I really want to get started on getting invitations out!!  I can never reach anyone at GBPJ when I call and have also left several messages.......Someone please help calm my nerves!!!!

Hi,

Congrats on your upcoming nuptials. I'm very interested in getting married @ Gran Bahia but am having a difficult time getting in contact with Beverly, the coordinator.  Maybe you can help me with some of my questions:

Are you having this issue as well? 

Where are you having your reception??? Do they give you extra time after dinner for dancing and music or do you have to pay extra?? 

Did you end up renting the villa from CR How many guests did you have and how was your experience?? My FI and I are still unsure of where to go but those villas look like an amazing deal.

Hi everyone!

My FI and I spent a 1 wk vacation @ the Renaissance and I think the Renaissance island is a perfect place to have a wedding. There are real flamingos on the beach and they decorate it beautifully with torches and candles. The resort itself is a great place with a lot of stuff for everyone to do. We saw a couple getting married there and it was truly amazing. HTH!!

Thanks for the great info and congratulations on what sounded like a beautiful wedding day. I would definietly like to see photos if you don't mind and I will be sure to keep the vendors you used in mind

Hi,

Congrats on your wedding!!! Just wondering...do they offer all-inclusive for guests and did you choose that option?
