Hi Everyone! I am getting married at the Coral and Turquesa either June 20 or 21 of this year. I have emailed the wedding department several times, and haven't received any reply, which is frustrating because all my guests have already booked their trips! I have 30 guests, but I am very curious about how the packages work. On the website it says for the Sunset package, which is for 20 people, you can pay $27 extra per person if you have more than 20 people. This comes out to roughly $1700, which sounds perfect to me, but the website says that package just offers a meal in a restaurant. Are they flexible about this at all? Do you get any sort of reception following that meal? And by "set meal" does that mean you go into the restaurant and everyone has to order the same thing? I find that pretty silly since every one of the guests has already paid for all-inclusive meals at the restaurants. I know the language barrier is to blame for a lot of the confusion on the website, but I just need to be able to ballpark how much money this is going to cost me! Thanks for any of your help ladies!

I am getting married here in June, and I have a few questions about the packages. I only have about 30 guests, including my fiance and I, so I don't need to pay for the most expensive package, which is about $4300. I can get away with the $3200 package, however, I really do not want my reception/meal in a little banquet room. Will the hotel work with me on this? Can i get away with buying the cheaper package as well as having my reception outside?

I am getting ready to book my wedding for June 2014, and I'm so excited! I am just so anxious and stressing right now because the RIU website gives little detail about actual wedding details. If we are able to do a semi private dinner and reception, is the most expensive wedding package necessary? If I don't want a DJ will they still provide sound equipment for an iPod? How do you get the music you want for the ceremony? And I would also love some reviews and prices of the photographer on site. I am terrified that I'll get my pics and they won't be good. Sorry I'm such a worrier!
