They quoted me 55$ per person for the private buffet. It is a sit down. They set up tables etc on the beach, but it has to be for 50 or more guests. And it depends on the menu, the one we like is $60/person.

Received some bad news today that the Blue Lagoon is already booked for our date. Not very impressed as my fiance has a severe allergy to seafood and fish, and Poseidon is a seafood restaurant. I don't really trust that even if they can serve non-seafood dishes. I'm not really keen on taking a risk like that on such an important day. I am hoping there are other options for a private reception otherwise I may have to change resorts. I really don't want to spend more than $45/person, which is already steep enough, for the private buffet. Guess booking a year in advance wasn't early enough...

I have read some reviews and the price for the private reception are around $45/person, depending on what you select for the menu. You can select either the Poseidon or Blue Lagoon restaurant and you have it from 6-10pm. I believe the free a la carte is for a maximum of 30 persons, and there is a private buffet option which is for groups of 50 or more if you want a buffet style.

I just booked our wedding at the Grand Palladium Jamaica for February 14, 2014! I am very excited for planning to get underway.
