Hi, I am getting married April 7th and I will have about 30 guests. We are doing what is called a gala dinner and it only costs $37/person. It is in a private room with the DJ included, however, it does not come with a bar. Let me know if you would like more information, I have all the brochures with me.

Thanks for this tip - I did not know I could also have the dinner that was included in the package if I chose the gala or beach dinner. I will definetely try and get the dinner included as either welcome or good-bye dinner. Sandra is also my WC and she is great! I would recommend her. My sister was organizing her wedding there for last May (she had to change to Cuba last minute because of the flue) and her WC was not nearly as helpful.

Then we booked the Private Beach Party, but they still honoured the original price we were quoted in February of $80.00 per person and with the DJ and everything included. I would try talking to Sandra. She has been the best to deal with yet.

My friend recently sent me a Grand Princess Riviera Survival Guide. I foudn it quite ineteresting. There is information on the differences between the rooms as well all kind of information on the resort, helpful hints and so on. Let me know if you would like to receive it.

I pasted the information below for the Royalty package. This is basic and then you decide whether you want the dinner in their restaurant which is free or have something private like the gala or beach party where they charge more. Let me know if you need more info. “ROYALTY†Package Organizing of the ceremony by the wedding coordinator Legal ceremony perform with a judge from the Mexican City Hall Marriage certificate valid in México Bouquet with tropical flowers for the Bride Boutonniere with tropical flowers for the Groom Bride makes up and hairdo the day of the wedding in the Spa Beauty Salon Wedding gazebo with standard decoration: white backdrops, 1 center piece with white flowers, red carpet for the aisle, chairs with white covers & sashes (Other decorations and locations available on request with an additional cost) CD player and microphone available during the ceremony (Couple is allowed to bring their own songs) Cocktail hour with domestic open bar after the ceremony (1 hour service) Wedding cake for 40 people Special dinner for the couple and 38 guests in an a la carte Restaurant (restaurant is subject to availability) Honeymoon amenities and special decoration in the room the Wedding day Preparation and ironing of the wedding dress and groom’s tuxedo Nuptial breakfast taken to couple’s room the day after the wedding ceremony Couple massage the day after the wedding in the Hotel Spa Use of bathrobes for the marring couple during entire stay Late check out for the Bride & Groom (upon request and availability) Princess’ Gift Price $2,000.00 USD *For legal weddings in México the couple and 4 witnesses must be in the hotel 4 business days before the wedding date.

Hi, I finally have my date, April 7th at 3:00 p.m. It seems so close...yet too far hehe. I have all the packages and private reception information which I have attached below. I have also attached the salon price list. I am booking hair appointment for my bridesmaids and the moms. It is quite expensive for Mexico but I guess it is the goign price for Canada so I will not complain too much about that. I have chosen the gala reception, which includes private room DJ and a set menu ( I am trying ot negotiate so that we can accomodate the vegetarians and those who do not like fish. They are very strict with the menus). The gala option does not include a bar for alcohol that technically should already be included. They want an additional 15$ an hour per person to set up a domestic bar. I have told that it was not an option, I was just going to make my own bar, bring my own bottles. They still want to charge $15 a bottle for me to bring it into the room, which is fine, but they are really trying to get any penny out of you as they can. My wedding coordinator Sandra has been good, she is responding quickly and trying to accomodate my requests as best she can. I don't have many of them but I am celiac so I have asked them for a gluten free cake and she is talking with the chef to see what they can do, which I really appreciate. The beach option was really tempting but at US$85/person it seemed a bit much, especially if you then needed to pay more for a dance floor and DJ. (i think it would have amounted to an extra $2000. I have chosen the Royalty package, mainly because it accomodates up to 40 people without additional charges. The others only accomodate up to 20 and hten charge an additional $12/person which can add up quicky. Plus I like to think of myself as Royal Let me know if you have other questions, I have asked a lot of them and got some answers. Hope this helps.

Hi ladies, I am contemplating the GPR for my wedding in April 2010 and was wondering whether any of you have booked the beach package at $80 per person. If so, was it worth it? I want something special and I don't know whether seating in one of a la carte restaurant would be quite special enough. Thanks

Hi, my name is Sandra and I have just gotten engaged this week end. I am very excited about having a destination wedding in early April 2010 We are looking to go to Mexico, preferably the Riviera Maya. We don't want somewhere to expensive, we are thinking a maximum of $1,500 per person for th e week. We are considering the Grand Pricess Riviera but have not decided yet. Does anyone have any advice or suggestion. Thanks!
