Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya Brides??

[fishcake]

Hi all *waves*

Ive been lurking for some time but have finally booked our holiday to Grand Sirenis and currently waiting for a reply regarding our chosen wedding date. We have chosen the 13th October 2018 ...sooooo far away but plenty of time to save. 23 of us have so far booked the holiday.

We are wanting the presidential package and originally booked this through Thomson. I have since cancelled with Thomson after realising they are £1000's dearer for exactly the same package!!!

Ive loved catching up with everyones stories on this thread and hope to keep in touch over the next 18 months xx

Hi could any uk brides give me some prices on packages please still waiting on hotel and I'm keen to know if this is do able. I'm enquiring for a friend after planning my own abroad wedding 2 years ago she's asked my help.

Travel agents seems very steep for what you actually get. We are very interested in the private area for reception and done like idea of a resturant many thanks

Hello Everyone! I can not believe how fast the wedding is coming up. I am 145 days away until the wedding day and we are trying to complete and lock down all of our choices very soon, so I have some questions for some past GS brides.

 

1. We are booked to have the ceremony on the beach and the dinner and reception in the palapa. However, we have 98 guests booked and we may have some more booking more towards the wedding date. I know the resort only allows 100 guests in the Palapa for dinner. Has anyone had just the dinner on the beach and dancing in the palapa?

 

2. As for ceremony and reception music. Did you tell the resort what music and exact songs you wanted or did you bring the actual songs with you on a usb drive or something to give to the DJ?

 

3. For any past brides who did a sit down Private Dining menu in the Palapa (non-bbq) what choices did you go with and how was it? 

 

4. I am wanting to get my hair and makeup done at the spa along with my bridesmaids. Would you past brides recommend getting the makeup done there? Did it stay on great in the humidity and did you bring a picture of a look you wanted? 

 

5. For those bride who brought some decorations and things for the wedding with them, how did you get everything there? Did you ship things or pack them in suitcases? We have a lot to bring. We are giving all of our guests Big Bubba cups (we use these at the pool and beach every time we vacation to Grand Sirenis because it keeps the drinks cold and you do not have to go up to the bar as much), We are also bringing maracas so everyone can shake for a kiss instead of tapping on the glass, we are also bringing fun light up sticks for our guests to dance with. We made some of our own decorations for the Tiki Torches that will be placed down the aisle and I think we are choosing to bring some of our own table decorations. (We can find the glass vases for a dollar where the resort is charging us a lot more for each vase). 

6. My colors for the wedding are different shades of blue with some accents of purple. I am having a difficult time trying to choose the flowers for my wedding. Unfortunately the flowers I want (blue and purple orchids) are at an additional cost and super super expensive. I am getting them for my bouquet (I will attach photo) but I need to choose different flowers for my bridesmaids bouquets and groomsmen boutonnieres. Did anyone have flowers dyed other than roses? I am thinking about asking them to dye pink lilies or stargazers to try and get the blue and purple effect. Here is the bouquet I am asking for  

 

    

 

Thank you in advanced to anyone who can help We have been in the talks with Rodrigo who has done a great job with responding to us. I can't wait for this dream wedding to come to life!
