Hey ladies, I just returned from an amazing 2 weeks at the GSP resort. To sum it up it was better than I could have ever imagined. I had very little contact with Mara the wedding coordinator prior to arriving, however everything went smoothly. She is highly professional and makes sure everything is taken care of. When we met she had numerous questions and I gave her all my information. We had brought our own photographer so that saves on the cost of the packages at the resort. When we met with Mara she had mentioned that the original gazebo may be ready by Friday for our ceremony. Naturally i was thrilled because this was one of the main reasons I chose this resort to have our wedding. She said to just let her know as soon as possible what our option would be. On Thursday she called me to ask me about my decision and I surprisingly chose the alternate location. The reason I chose the alternate location by the "chill out" restaurant was because on that side of the beach it is way less busy and it more private for a wedding. You don't get as many randoms in your pictures. I loved this aspect of it. For our wedding package we did the Magical package because honestly for the extra $500 just to have a cocktail hour wasn't worth it for us because we were staying at an all inclusive resort and could drink for free anyway. The magical package comes with everything that the Royalty package comes with except the cocktail hour. I had my mother in law do my hair on my wedding day so therefore I re-scheduled another hair appointment at the spa for when my husband and my date night. The resort was very accomodating as were they when we re-scheduled our massage appointment. It states that you get everything the day after, but we rescheduled everything to accomodate our schedule and it worked out perfectly. The wedding day - our ceremony was at 2:00 p.m. our pick up cart was a little late, however we still arrived roughly on time. I wore stiletto pumps for the ceremony and would advise that if its windy to walk slowly as my dress got swept under my feet and I ended up stepping on it part way down the aisle. No one noticed as I just stopped and tried not to make a scene. The judge did not speak very good english which would be my only downfall, however my guests thought she was fine. The judge had also forgot that we were doing our own wedding vows so we had to remind her at the end of the ceremony that we were doing so. So there was a bit of a 'blip' there. No big deal though. I had a fairytale of a wedding and felt like a bride celebrity for all the random pics I was getting by strangers and all the attention I got as well. Our dinner was not until 8 p.m. at La Fondue. So between the ceremony and pictures my guest and I met at the open lounge in between the two lobby's on the main floor. It was perfect. It is still stunning for pictures and the drinks are free. Dinner at La Fondue was amazing. We didn't even notice there were other guests in the restaurant with us and had the back part of the restaurant set up reception style. We had a head table that was decorated and the other tables formed a giant "U" so that all our guests could see us. After dinner we actually went to the sports bar. It was fun. The resort in general: I found the staff more than accomodating. Like I said earlier I felt like a celebrity. Everyone remembered me by name, we were the rowdy group participating in all the main pool activites. I highly recommend doing Coco Bongo if you are into Cirque de Soleil type shows in a jam packed night club. It is definitely a great time. The resort is massive so be prepared to walk. The rooms are nice, just make sure you have your air conditioning on as we noticed our room was quite humid without it. We took American money down, and someone from the beach had told us that tipping in $5 means more to mexicans that tipping in $1.00 american. She said they actually "lose" money by carrying $1.00 american bills. I thought that was interesting. Money is money, so we ended up exchanging many of our $5.00 and $10.00 quite easily for $1.00. As for the bars and everything and the maid service we preferred to tip in $1.00. At the a la cartes is when we would tip significantly more. All in all this was an absolutely amazing time and I would do it over and over and over again! if you ladies have any questions please feel free to contact me. Best wishes to all the future GSP brides!
