Grand Riviera Princess - Dinner Menu Help...Plssss


Recommended Posts

It really is stressful. But we all have to remeber that its all gonna work out :)

 

I just wish it was easier to communicate with them. Im now waiting to see how much the royalty package and the gala room with buffett is going to be. I hope it not what im thinking and them charging me $70 pp.

I was looking at the plated menus meals last night and my gosh i dont even know what have of them are. I wonder if you can adjust the menu...pick what you want and get them to create a menu for you. Im sure that would cost extra but then at least your getting exactly what you want.

 

Oh and i forget to tell you about the photographer that were going to use. There called Blue lens photography.. and the pics they take are amazing. I just love how they capture the moment and arent to abstract about the pics. U should check them out.

 

Are you using the hotels centerpieces that they provide or are you using an outside vendor??

Vancity.....how much does that photgrapher charge. I believe from reading somewhere that it was 75 dollars to bring someone else in but who knows. Also the gala room is that info in any of the information the wc sent. I think i might be interested in that. Do they have a dj as well. This is so difficult. My wedding is less then 6 mnths away and i am so frazzled.

I know its so hard planning a wedding from a far.. but it will be an amazing event.

 

The photographer isnt too bad. I think the package that were going to use is $1250 and it includes a photographer for 4 hours, 80 edited photos and then an albulm with those 80 photos..so its an ok deal. I just really like there work. And yes it is $70-75 for the photographer to come into the resort for the day. But i just want to have amazing pics :)

 

Regarding the gala room.. i had requested it because ive always wanted to do an indoor reception and because im having over 40ppl you have to do either a private beach wedding or something in a gala room. If you have under 40ppl it might not be worth it cause you have to pay for 40. But just ask ur WC to send you info. Its hard because your basically paying for an entire other wedding on top of the package that your playing for. But the WC said that we could use the dinner provided for a welcome dinner.. so thats kinda cool! And unforunatley the DJ isnt provided, thats another charge :(

 

How far along is your planning coming??

How many ppl do you have attending??

I have read great reviews on Blue Lens and agree that they work looks amazing.  Your pictures will be wonderful!!  We are a smaller group (approx 30) and we are opting for the semi-private reception so I don't think I will need the centerpeices. I just read in another forum that a bride went the semi-private route and arranged for the beach party from 8-10 pm.  Excluding the dinner was less expensive.  I love this option and will investigate further.

 

It sounds like your planning is coming along nicely!

Thats so funny.. cause i just read that review too about her doing the semi-private dinner and then doing a beach dance party. Thats a great idea!  I didnt know that was possible either. I guess u wont know until you ask. Cause ive been asking tons of things that i didnt think were possible. And all they can say is either yes or no. So its worth a shot.

 

And yes im very excited to use Blue lens.. i cant wait!

 

And with the centerpieces if your only doing a quick dinner it might not be worth it. But you should def check out that lasy im using ..she is actually not that bad for prices. Just send her what you want in a pic and then she will give you a quote :)

Planning is going ok.... I just wished all the info was right in front of me. I looked into the photographer you are doing. Great pics...but they do not offer anything like 2 hour packages...since i am having a super small wedding. I honestly dont even know how many people will show up.

 

Kelley...do you know how much that beach party is?

Have you not received any info yet??? Who is your WC?  

Even with all the info in front of you, trust me its still a little overwhelming. My mom is coming into town this weekend to look over "My book" and go through everything with me. Its alot of work these weddings.

And yes if your not having a huge wedding its prob not worth the cost. There are tons of photographers out there. I just love them the best. I have a few other names of photographers out there if you want to check them out :)

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
