Calgarybride2015. I emailed Adventure Photos after receiving the details from Maria/Andrea to ask for pricing, but haven't heard anything back yet. It does appear that they are new to the hotel.

I'm glad to hear you have positive reviews of them. I will chase them again and she if they come back to me. Only 5 months to go

Hi Jo

I have booked with Thomsons UK also and had originally booked the Gold package with the intention of upgrading via the hotel. After various email exchanges it turned out this wasn't possible and I ended up having to upgrade with Thomson direct (I did this about 2 weeks ago). They now offer the Presidential package too and so we have booked this. It is quite pricey in comparison to the cost of booking it direct with the hotel though. It does vary slightly to what is included in the hotels package too. I'm hoping it will be worth it.

In relation to the Palpa it says 30 guests minimum on the paperwork sent to me, but I haven't addressed this direct with the wedding co-ordinator yet. We have 27 booked on at the minute so will have to see what happens.

If you want to just add on the Palpa alone it is just over £525 (2014 prices so 2015 will no doubt increase) this is for 3hours service. I don't know if there would be extra costs involved regarding the food though.

Hope this makes sense. X

Hello brides to be, I have booked our wedding for may 2015 via Thomson UK. I have booked the gold package as I have been reading on here, that you can upgrade via the wedding co-ordinator out there. I have asked to upgrade to presidential package as I believe the palapa is included in this. I have had a reply and been told I can only upgrade via my travel agents and the highest package I can go to is platinum which I don't think the palapa is included in this? I am concerned as I have a party of over 40 people and it would be great to have a private reception. Anyone can give me any info if it is included in platinum package or how much extra would it cost to upgrade the palapa reception? What it is per head if we do have palapa beach BBQ ?

Thank you

Hi everyone

I have just discovered this forum and I am looking to get married at the Grand Sirenis in December 2014. I have been here a few years ago and loved it.

I am looking at booking the platinum package through Thomsons at the moment but understand from the posts that you may be able to book direct for a better deal. Could somebody please message me any details of packages they have. I can provide my email address if that is easier (I am not familiar with the site so not sure how this all works).

Any information or tips are very welcomed.

If anyone knows anything about the chapel too I would appreciate it. I read that this is for Catholic weddings only - Me and my partner are Catholic and attend church regularly. Although we aren't set on having to have a Catholic ceremony, it would be nice to know the options.

Thanks
