My pleasure. If anybody needs extra information just let me know.

Hey abbypoo!

 

I hope you can help us.  We just reserved our wedding date for 2012 and can't decide between the rooftop terrace or the villas terrace for the reception..  We would really appreciate any feedback you can tell us about either.  We haven't been to the property.

 

Congratulations!

I was hoping if you could tell me how many chair bows you had to bring with you...is it double your guest list for ceremony and reception?

Hey Ladies!! I'm booked for Febuary 24th 2012! Yay! Question... We are doing a beach ceremony and reception. Any idea what part of the beach is best? Or better? I can not find any pic or reviews of real weddings and receptions on the beach at the gran caribe or royal. Is it a bad idea? I'm interested to hear where you chose and why.

Childbride - Yes, I did take double the amount I needed. It's still cheaper to bring with you than to pay $ 3.00 per bow there.

 

Shay12- You can request your wedding coordinator for more pics of the place you choose. As far as being a good idea or not to have the wedding at the beach is up to  you. I didn't do mine because I was afraid of the sun be too hot, but the cocktail hour at the beach rocked as the sun was already starting to go down

[Shay12]

Awesome. I was thinking of moving the ceremony time to 5pm to get better pictures at sunset. I think that's a great point about the hot sun! Thanks a million!!

We just shot a wedding at the Royal's beach a few days ago.  We have done quite a few there.  The nice thing about having it there is there are so many spots close by for more photos   Here are some of our favorite shots from that wedding:

Hey ladies,

 

Just wanted to know what everyone's wedidng favors will be and how you plan to bring it to the resort?

 

And has anyone done the Out of Town/Welcome bags?

 

Plus, how are you all booking your rooms and your guests' rooms? Will you be going through the resort site rates, our wedding coordinator rates, through some other website, or a travel agent? This is the main thing that's been stressing me out lately. =T

 

Thanks Ladies. Love you all for your feedback and support regarding The Royal/Gran Caribe. This Destination Wedding planning has been more than I expected. lol.

Im doing OOT's and no favors at the tables. I dont know how the heck I will get all this stuff down there.

We have a TA and decided not to block rooms because Gran Caribe wanted a $7000 deposit for 23 rooms.

Here is my site if you want to see how we will present it to the guests.  weddingwire.com/donnylovesshaleen
