When do you settle the final bill? (Pay for the steel drum band, reception, ceremony)... is it all one one bill?

 

It's just so much easier to ask you girls than wait for the WC to get back to me!

Those GP brides that were married on the beach - exactly what beach was it held on and specifically whereabouts on that beach? I've been to the resort before so hopefully I'll be able to picture where!  And how close was your ceremony to actual beach-goers? I hope that they will respect our privacy and stay back, but I can't imagine being right next to a bunch of people in their bathing suits lounging in the sun haha.

Yes, they allowed us to configure the reception the way we wanted.  Escort cards are the placecards that direct your guests where to sit.  Our plan was for the guest to find them at a table at the entrance and then find their table, however, GP just put them on the table.  Oh well, no biggie.  And yes, it was discussed at the initial meeting.

So they allowed you to se the tables up however you wanted? Was this something that you discussed with the WC at your initial meeting at the resort? I assumed if I made any requests like that, that I probably won't be able to count on it going as I wanted. I just imagined giving the WC my place cards and seating chart, and having it all mixed up or totally not how I wanted it. But I should probabyl have a little more faith hey!

 

PS. What are escort cards?

Your WC will send you a copy of your invoice before you head down and you pay at your initial meeting.

They tell you it's at Coral Beach, however, referring to the map on their website the beach ceremonies are held on Las Brisas beach, far west side.  If you go back to my review you will see the setup/location and read my experience with beach-goers.

You are correct.  Note, for the ceremony... the first 8 guest are included in your package price.
