ROYAL PLAYA DEL CARMEN BRIDES: were kids allowed for the day? ...and other questions

[cinny726]

Lady Di,

 

Thanks for the suggestion. I have been talking it over with my parents and fiance, and we are still deciding what to do...we are now considering a private reception at the Royal. We talked about movin the wedding to another location. We looked at the Eco Park, and I fell in love, but the prices are crazy. Everything is kinda up in the air for now.

To all....

 

When you pick the food you are picking for every guest...right? What about picky eaters. I have a friend who will only eat chicken as a meat, and does not like seafood. We also have a guest who is allergic to shellfish. All the meals but the beef have some kind of seafood, or seafood stuffing..lol

I didn't get to try it but I was told they were AMAZING. I think the most popular was the coconut shrimp and sesame seed chicken skewer. We went with the Luxury package and went with Ivan at Doremixx for our DJ. He was awesome (and provided the lit up dance floor). Hope this helps!

Yes please post pictures of the food options.

TW when did you get your quote for your wedding. My original quote said 4 hours and then you have to pay more per guest per hour. When did this 3 hour reception come into effect?

I got the quote in May 09. If you look at the package information on the Royal's website, it says 3hrs for a 35 person reception under the Luxury Package.

We paid more per guest per hour after our 3hr reception was up.

If you were quoted 4hrs, make sure you bring that email with you!

I saw the $500 on Ivan's pricing list. We didn't ask for the lit-up dance floor and didn't pay for it, but we got it anyways.

Ok, here are photos of some of the menu options we had:

 

This is the Spring Salad with ashed goat cheese and almond oil (what we went with).

 

This is the duck salad option.

 

There was a smoked shrimp/pineapple salad option but we didn't get a photo.

 

Creamed vegetable soup.

 

Clam chowder with chopped vegetables au white wine flavour. (What we went with.)

 

Mushroom vegetable soup.

Stuffed chicken

 

salmon

 

beef fillet with dijon mustard (what we went with).

 

Mango mousse (my favourite).

 

Passion flower, strawberry pie with vanilla cream (what we went with).

 

Some kind of chocolate dessert (forget what kind, exactly).

We also went with a vegetarian option for one of our guests.

 

She had the tomato salad with grilled zucchini, the cream of spinach soup, the linguini with dried tomato sauce and for dessert, she had the same as the other guests (strawberry pie).
