There is a possibility of having a private beach cocktail/reception after the dinner....but I am unsure how much it cost....if you read back several brides have opted for that options. best of luck.

I actually received a lot of information from the wedding coordinator Aracelli. She even sent me pictures of her own ceremony. Upon review we decided it wasn't for us. This is a brief description: It is done ON the beach, not the gazebo. It involves singing, dancing and the four elements. Guests stand during the entire 40 minute ceremony and at a specific moment they are asked to participate by voicing their wishes for the married couple. The ceremony is done in Mayan or Spanish, but never in English. A translator is 75$. There is a first part to this ceremony it involves a sauna within an igloo...this is done the day before and lasts about 15min....if you need a translator it is another 75$.

the chill-out reception is a restaurant on the beach. You will be provided solid grounds and it is right by the beach side. This is a private venue, thus you must pay for it per person. Hope this helps!

Have any previous brides sent off lanterns at the Grand Sunset Princess? Were there any issues or any additional costs involved with this? Thank you!

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone has done the Mayan ceremony. I am debating between that or simply the symbolic ceremony. I have some specific questions that I would love to have answered by you. 1. How does the ceremony unfold? I`ve read that it includes the four elements and that it lasts 40 minutes, but happens during these 40min. 2. Can we inlcude our own vows? exchange or rings during the mayan ceremony? 3. Does the chaman (not sure how to spell it) speak English or do we need a translator? 4. At the GSP is the ceremony done in the Gazebo or on the beach? 5. Anyone have pictures? 6. What would you prefer, a regular ceremony or the Mayan one? Thanks!

I would love a copy please. [email protected]

So I loved the idea of sky lanterns and told my mother I was planning on looking into them... She replied by saying not too...Apparently my aunt has already purchased them and is bringing them down..but I am not suppose to know about it. This said, should I still check with the resort if they allow them? Any input would be appreciated!

Hey there, I just love your video and every aspect of your wedding. We must have similar tastes, because I chose a hairstyle very similar to yours and my dress is also alike! Anyway I loved the words that were spoken during the video and I read below that you wrote them out and they were inspired by quotes from this site. Would you share that speech you wrote out for the minister? My email is [email protected]. Thanks!

thank you so very much for your pictures, links and suggestions. What a great idea and cost efficient too!

best of luck to both of you brides. We unfortunately had to change locations, because our carrier changed the flight date after we sent out the invites...vacation was already booked by most of our guests and we couldn't delay our whole venue by four days Good luck to all, I am now planning a mexico wedding!

I have yet to read the entire thread, but was wondering if anyone has done the Mayan ceremony. Here are more precise questions regarding it. 1. Is it done in the Gazebo or on the beach? 2. How does the ceremony unfold? I`ve read that it includes the four elements and that it lasts 40 minutes, but happens during these 40min. 3. Can we still recite our own vows during the mayan ceremony? 4. Does the chaman (not sure how to spell it) speak English or do we need a translator? 5. What would you prefer, a regular ceremony or the Mayan one? Thanks!

so is it still a minimum of 150 post to get junior member status? And once we have that status we can open attachments?

Hi Jessicuzie, I was wondering if you actually went through with the beach reception...this is what we wanted to do. Any chance you could send pictures my way? [email protected]

Wow!! I LOVE your pictures!!! Really love your whole venue! I must ask. It seems that you had 25 people at your wedding (tried to count on your place seating)...anyways, you were able to book the chill out venue for 25? I thought the package details said that it required a minimum of 40 people to book. And this is at 100$ pp....Is this the price you paid? Were you really only 25? Also could you share the cost for your photography and what it included? Thanks, You could send it to my email at [email protected]

We are staying on the sunset side and will be having swim-up rooms....we are leaving from Montreal, but some of our guests are from TO....my spouse is originally from Toronto. Still haven't decided anything regarding the venue, wedding package, and so on...just booked. We were innitially going to Panama. Everything was booked, invitations sent out and then the airline cie, switched the flight date...by four days. So we had to cancel. Oh well, everything happens for a reason I guess! Any advice you can send my way would be appreciated. My personal email is [email protected] All the best!

guess I will be seeing you there Triuphbiss...We are arriving on the first and getting married on the 4th...still not decided on the whole venue thing...best of luck with the rest of your planning!

hey if you still have the email that was forwarded to you about the off site venue could you please forward the details. My email. [email protected] I love the idea of going off site! Thanks for sharing!

Hi, I was wondering if you could give me an update on your wedding at the Palladium. I was getting married in Panama this upcoming July and last week the flight were canceled....we muast now look for a new destination. The Grand Palladium is one of the options still available in our price range. I'm not crazy about the pictures I've seen, but wonder if you might have had a great experience. Thanks for any advice.

hi Steph, did you end up having your wedding in Panama during the rainy season? We are strongly considering going there and wed in July 2013... thanks for any and all help and advice

Thanks for the reply and the advice. Really appreciate it!

Hi all, I have been racking my brain trying to find the ideal place to be wed....REALLY hard to please everyone. Well, I think we have finally find the place; Royal Decameron is fitting the bill. I would love to have your feedback past brides...I would love to see pictures.... Is the language barrier really an issue? How was the beach? Is it long and walkable? My grand-father has a bit of a mobility issue...will the largeness of the resort be a problem for him? Also, has anyone been in June or July (rainy season)? because we are considering doing it then. Thanks for any and all help!

Hi, I would love to see some pictures...please forward to [email protected]
