Same here, and I'm the week after you! Not cool for them to change that and not tell us older (booking wise) brides. Not surprising, however!

Has anyone heard anything different??

Ya, that day pass thing is really annoying to me. We have more guests that want to come (who have to book at GPR bc Royal is booked) but want to make sure the day pass isn't too expensive. I'm really hoping the 3day $60 pass promo is going when we all have our weddings bc the other regular prices are ridic!

I am doing the luxury package too. I was talking about whatever the checklist is that we have to turn in 45 day or 60 days before or whatever, lol. Thanks Di!

Is this the right one? I got this from Kimberly back in August.

This is the checklist I received two weeks ago. It's the most recent I believe.

I emailed Aja about this issue yesterday. I'm waiting on a response. I know that they do not have to pay the day pass for the day of the wedding. This includes non-resort guests. I have that in writing. We have friends staying with their time share and will not have to pay for a day pass.

Talked to Julie yesterday...she said she doesn't need the checklist 60 days before but will need it 45 days before. I guess they do things differently!

Just know that you will be paying $$ for them, regardless. See my $100 a person rant. It all depends on the package you get/extra hours.

Hmm, That checklist has my package for 200 cheaper! I think I will use that!

what kind of experience have you ladies had with the flowers for your bouquets? i kind of want to piece together my own bouquet vs. just chosing one from their list. as long as they have the flowers available, they're able to make it, right?

 

i have the classic package (at the gran porto), which comes with a semi-private reception. have any of you had to make an upgrade for your private reception? i would love to have it on the beach instead of at one the the resort restaurants. what are the options/logistics of doing this?

 

i'm still waiting to hear back from my WC... going on 2 weeks now.

I'm at the Gran Porto too. We took the Free Wedding package and added on a private reception at the beach even though we have just 15 people coming. We have to pay for 20 b/c that's the minimum # for a private reception. You can upgrade to a private no problem. The decorations are supposed to be lovely and the tables are lit up at night. They are also very flexible with menu options. I chose different courses from three different menus. I just have to hope it doesn't downpour that night on the beach! I don't really want to be moved into a ballroom at all!

If you pick a package that includes photography, but you want an outside photographer, do you just tell the coordinators that you don't want to use the one that's included in your package?
