El Dorado Royale (EDR) Brides - POST HERE!

We're also doing the free sweet wedding. Now that I read this forum, I wonder if Monica is no longer my coordinator as she has never returned any emails.

For those of you who are not planning a private dinner, cocktail or fondue party, do you know if they will cut and serve cake at El Cocotal?

Also, can some of you share some details about your welcome dinners or parties since my coordinator is MIA? Please include costs if you don't mind!

Hey! this is who took over being my wedding coordinator:
Valeria Martinez <weddings@lomas-travel.com>

Maybe try her! She has been awesome about getting back to me.

As for welcome events-I don't think I am doing anything planned. I will just set up a time and a place on the resort for the guests to come and mingle.
but I remember pricing out the Mexican cocktail - and I believe it was $22/person. There are definitly other options but I believe that was the cheapest option.

Thanks! That is sort of what I was leaning towards. I went to a friends DW a few years ago, and she did a great job getting everyone together for little "meet and greets" anytime a new person would arrive. It would be something a simple as cocktails before dinner.

My FIs friends are super competitive, so I am going to try to get everyone together for pool or beach volleyball too one day early on the trip. I figure this will be a good way for all of my sister's husband and friends' boyfriends or husbands to get to know everyone too.

I was actually wondering this myself-- with noone really having cell phones to use-- i was wondering how my FI and I would know when our guests were arriving- having a preset place to meet for cocktails before dinner is a good idea...

I have not had an issue with Monica yet. Normally she does get right back to me within the day. I am doing the sweet wedding package also. I do have a price list for all the dinners or cocktail parties I received from Monica. I could email them to you since there is about 20 pages. I do hear the mexican party is a nice coctail party to have for $14 person. I'm also in the process of making decisions too for May wedding.

[nolaroy724]

Thanks, that would be great (maezr@hotmail.com)!

I will try to contact Monica again, but I am still curious to see the options.

Otherwise all the options are on the website... I am always too anxious to wait for an email responce, so I just go to the website.

I believe you can do the mexican party for as low as $14 person. Depends on how many horedouviers you choose. Few brides I spoke to said 6 different ones is good. Then you get coctail party for 2 hours. The donkey is like $250 though. I do have the menu if interested.

I think I was going off the old price list!
Thanks!

I am such an idiot, for some reason I had a wrong email address for Monica. I have finally got in touch with her, and once I had her correct email she responded in less than a day!
