  1. The head table has a centerpiece arrangement and the other tables had candles on them...it was simple but looked very elegant.
  2. Yes I used the spa but for hair only...they were very good and I was pleased with my hair. I chose to do my own make-up, only because I was afraid it may not turn out the way I like...so I cannot comment on their make-up skills. They did however place false lashes on me and they looked great. Centerpieces I don't really think are worth it...I wanted them and then my fiance convinced me that it was a needless expense...I guess it depends on your style...but I don't really think they are necessary...I didn't miss them, lol. The cake was great it was really beautiful and tasted great. we forgot to even cut the cake because we were too busy dancing...haha
  3. Hello Everyone I just returned from our wedding at the Grand Palladium. Our wedding was on the 10th of February. So I will get down to the details. First I would recommend asking the wedding coordinator when your meeting is. We arrived at 4pm and were given a handful of envelopes about the resort one from the wedding coordinator...etc. We were so excited to be there we did not open the envelopes until the following morning. The meeting was scheduled for 930am...it was 9am when I opened the letter...omg! We needed our passports, tourists cards, money for the doctor and the minister as well as 4 witnesses with their passports and tourist cards. Needless to say it was a nightmare...our witnesses had no idea and they were already out and about checking out the resort....the resort is huge. We did a lot of running that day...I cried a lot. Once the details were set out the wedding coordinators do not contact you at all until the wedding date...stressful. The weddings office is located in the White Sands...this is a hike from the Kantenah or Colonial, there is a trolley that can take you, but we often walked up the beach its really fast that way. The wedding day was perfect...surprisingly due to the lack of communication. Bouquets were in my room by noon, my dress was steamed and delivered the day before the wedding (note the left it in a clear bag stretched out on the bed...so go into the room before your fiance...we almost had a disaster! lol) The transportation was late picking myself and the bridesmaids up..but it was cool...fashionably late. The ceremony was at the beach gazebo...the one with the white pillars..its also located at White Sands. The backdrop is honestly decor enough but they have all colours of chair bows, tulle tied to the pillars, rose petals on the aisle. It was beautiful. They played all the music on the ipod as requested, no problems at all. I would not recommend the cocktail hour for an extra cost. There are lobby bars everywhere...our reception was at La Laguna and there was a bar right beside it and everyone went there and had cocktails and laughs while we had pictures taken. The setting at La Laguna was so beautiful, you honestly did not need much more. The food was the best meal we had our entire trip. We chose menu option 5. We used an iPod for the music and their sound system was more than enough. The microphone for speeches and the MC cut out a few times...but it was fine we got it to work again and everyone was laughing about it. The disco opens at 11pm and once we were done at the reception we headed to a lobby bar beside the disco...then everyone went into the disco and danced the night away...it was so much fun. I used Juan Navarro for my photographer...he was so professional and his prices were unbeatable...my pictures are stunning! I hope this helps...feel free to ask me any questions..i will be completely honest! Good Luck Laine
  4. I am getting married on the 10th of February. We are staying at the Kantenah...I can let you all know when I get back! Can't wait...12 more sleeps until departure!
  5. We are getting married on Feb 10, 2011 at the Grand Palladium Kantenah. Trying to round up friends and family for deposits is a bit of a stressor. I am not going to let it get to me though, everyone that wants to be there will be there. Happy planning everyone!!
  6. adridashanne, Thank you so much for the post...don't be surprised if I bother you for some details, as I am planning on getting married at the Grand Palladium in Febuary of 2011. I love to hear positive reviews about the resort, helps to set my mind at ease.
  7. I am using the colors taupe and blush. I saw a wedding inspiration sheet in a Wedding Bells or Brides magazine, the colors look so classy together.
  8. I love that...I am making cards for my bridesmaids with that poem as well!!
  9. dawnkyeknod, Thank you so much for the additional websites. Your raving review made me smile..I think we will definitely get married at the Grand Palladium. Thank You!
  10. My dad passed away as well. My brother is walking me down the aisle. But if he was unable to I woud have had my Mom do it. I agree that with a destination wedding you can get away from alot of the traditions. Good Luck!
  11. I am planning on getting married in February 2011, we are leaning towards the Grand Palladium Kantenah. A friend of mine was married there in January 2010. She gave me so much good advice and had only great things to say about the resort. She used Claudia Rodriguez for her photos and they were stunning. Seeing her pictures and hearing a friends review definitely helped to sway us toward this resort.
