Hi! I'm pretty new to the forum, and we have been going back and forth about choosing the Princess or the Principe resorts but have finally decided on the Princess! I sent the resort an email with a bunch of questions, so we are just waiting to hear back from them and our travel agent with some quotes before we can officially book our date (will be April 2014)

 

I think we are going to go with the Princes pkg and it looks as though we will prob have 40-50 aprox guests. We are totally fine with having the dinner in an a la carte, but want to have a cocktail type reception after for a couple hours. Any suggestions and/or pics of places to do this? 

 

Thanks!

Liz

Congrats Liz! and welcome to our forum community I think choosing the Princess is a great decision, as shown in some magical wedding "moments that matter" we captured there recently.......with more at the album here.......https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151020594729487.444719.18683524486&type=3

Hi Liz,

Congrats! Now for the fun part of planning!

We did a cocktail reception at the Chill Out area, it was a champagne reception and they made a welcome drink for us as well which was extremely yummy!

It was gorgeous, they had wicker chairs set up at the beach with candles and tiki torches set up just for us. It was also secluded so you don't have to worry about other people crashing your party per say LOL. I would suggest that area as it's on a private beach. Hope that helps

Ugh, so sad, it looks like we will not be able to choose the princess after all  .The resort just got back to us and said that the max for the a la carte is 40 ppl, and we have just over 50 that will most likely be there. We can't really afford to do the $85/$100 pp for the private dinner and still get all of the other things we want such as photos, etc. So we are back to square one again, and thinking the GBP is what we will most likely go with.

 

Thanks for your help though... and Congrats Brandie!!!

Hi - I'm trying to plan for my GSP wedding in April 2014 and am really struggling with the restaurant choice. Were you happy with the Steakhouse?

Hi Brandie;

I'm trying to make some decisions with my April 2014 wedding and am really struggling with the meal/reception part. I am reading really great reviews about the Chill Out Party but am unsure what all it entails........buffet meal and reception included? And only for minimum 40 adults? Or is this an option for a group with a little less than 40? I wasn't sure if you had less than 40 that it became a plated meal? $100/person seems a little steep but if the reception portion is included and the reviews are so great it might just be worth it.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, we were very happy with the Steakhouse.  We did our grooms dinner there with 20pp.  Everyone was friendly and food was great!

Hello, I was wondering about the beach party, is it $25pp per hour, or is it $25pp for 2hrs.

Hello,

 

 

Our wedding is coming up in January. Anyone that has had your dinner at a la carte restaurant? How was that? Was it private enough?

 

Thanks! And congrats to everyone!

Brandy
