Hi Melissa, congrats on your wedding! I'll be getting married there on Jan 27 (If Carolina would ever let us book the wedding....) and we wanted to do a symbolic ceremony, we didn't realize that we had the option of doing a renewal of vows vs a wedding ceremony, the price difference is out of this world!! 

With the Silver package, were you able to pick from any of the colours? And were you able to get those colours for decorations for your reception? Do they do the ceremony any different than a wedding ceremony? I also don't want people to be able to tell that we're already married. Can you give me a bit of information, what extras did you include? How many guests? What was the overall cost of the ceremony?

Thanks for your help!

Carolina did not say one thing about charging $500 to bring in an outside photographer. She told me $60 for daytime and $60 for after 6:00pm. So ours is a total of $120. Would you like me to email you the email she sent me in regards  to brining in Eva Hadhazy Photography?

Hi Jenn!

Would I be able to get this info as well?? Our wedding is scheduled (tentatively) for Jan 27 2014, and I'm trying to collect as much info as I can before we have to book everything!

Thanks so much for being so helpful to all us other brides, I can tell already you'll be a lifesaver!

I'm deciding about getting married this summer at GPPC and I'm also from Ottawa

 

I got a group quote for $1200, but that's also August which is not high season. Seems like a great place and has great reviews. We're looking at just under 50 guests. I'll keep you posted on what we decide We're using a travel agent we met at the bridal show in January.

Question for you: Do you have any concerns that it would be too hot in August? Or it looks like that's the rainy season (and potentially hurricane season?), how does that play into your planning? We're set to book for the end of January, but in reality August-ish would work much better, and I could even maybe swing it so our wedding date is our dating anniversary!

Yes I'm also nervous about the wedding packages.. our wedding date is tentatively Jan 27, 2014, and staying at GP Palace. Of course the 2014 package won't be released until June, and we can't book the wedding itself until March, so we haven't booked the trip or started collecting deposits.

Some of the comments on this thread have been mentioning that the beach after-party is an extra $300-$500 or whatever, but on the site, you can add the beach party for $1300, and that's for only 15 people.. How does that work out? And has anyone booked the Tropical Promise package? We're looking at about 30 people coming so will my package go from $3000 (for 8 people) and then have to pay $20 for each additional person? And what about your color choices? Are the colors really limited to  the 3 they provide for each package? If we didn't go for the Tropical Promise package, I'd still want to pick the mango color scheme.. Does a person have that option?

Congrats to you all on your weddings at GP!
