Grand Sunset Princess Resort

Thank you so much for the info Jill, that's awesome that they gave you a free DJ. I read someone else got the same thing, mayb they make exceptions for people who get the private dinner. It's too bad they won't do it for 20 people only, my wedding coordinator said the private thai beach reception is not a possibility if you have less than 40 Maybe I'll get lucky and there will be no other weddings that day and they'll consider it So did you bring your own ipod station but you obviously didn't have to use it. I wasn't sure if the restaurant had enough room for dancing. Probably only enough room for the groom & bride to do the first dance I take it? Or is there enough room for the entire wedding party?
Thanks again for taking the time to answer my questions!

Hey Liz....they will let you take it for less than 40 (we did) you just have to pay for 40. we had 35 including kids, which are 1/2 price and than for the remaining 5 empty seats we paid the kids rate as well.

 

There is tons of room for dancing.....its a regular restaurant, that holds 100+ people. We set up right infront of the bar. I will send you a pic!

Stephy,

Just ask the wedding coordinator about the days, we flew in on a Sun and our ceremony was Thurs which was technically only 3 business days prior to the wedding but she still said it was fine...but then we decided to just have the symbolic ceremony and do all the legal stuff at home.

I think if you do the private option at the Thai Beach you have lots of room for dancing, you'd have the whole place to yourself; which like Sasse said holds 100+ people, but it's set up really intimate so it's not like a huge square room that you'd have to fill with people. Unless you want the dance floor on the beach you wouldn't have to pay for the dance floor at the beach club, you could dance right on the restaurant deck/floor.

As far as decorations for the reception, I don't know because I only did the semi-private, so you might want to message sasse75...but the restaurant is BEAUTIFUL, and the scenery is amazing so you don't need a lot of decor.

As far as the ceremony times go I think there are 2 choices, 2pm and 4pm daily.

Let me know if you need anything else!

I think that they actually have more than just 2&4PM...because we were at 4PM and there was a wedding right after us.....I believe there were a total of 3 my day!

As for decor Suzy is right the place is BEAUTIFUL!!!! I can send you our pics if you want just let me know

I would love to have some pics!!!

I'd love to see how the reception area is set up and what it looks like, centerpieces, table set up, etc.

Thanks ladies!!

I am just finalizing my booking now for my wedding on July 27th

We will only have about 16 people so pretty small

We decided to just do the princess package and have dinner at mama mia

Our Dinner is at 6pm I was hoping we could all go dancing some where after

 

Does any one know if the bars/disco's are open that early?

You won't have any problems finding a bar open, however you will have to wait for the disco

Hi all just in regards to the theft at the resort. My fiance and I stayed at this resort in October and were unfortunate enough to experieince theft. We had a watch stolen it wasn't in the safe which, was completly our fault but we also had loungers right outside of our room and were able to figure out how could have stolen form us. We repotred the loss but nothing was ever done and it was never recovered.

 

We did not let this ruin our experience and are actually looking at going back here to get married. Our advace just keep anything that has any value out of sight.

Hi everyone!!

My fiance and I just finished booking the grand sunset princess!! Our wedding date is May 5, 2011 at 3pm. Our group will be around 30 people, so I think we are just going to choose one of the a la cartes for our wedding dinner.

 

We are trying to figure out what to do for our first dance. I read on here that some brides had their dance near the lobby, but I also read that on thurs the lobby is turned into a market. Our wedding day is a thurs (of course). Does anyone have any suggestions on where we could have our first dance?? I was thinking that maybe we could give our song to the dj at the disco, but I would prefer something just a touch more romantic haha.

 

Any suggestions would be helpful

thanks Sasse

I am looking forward to it

can any one tell me wether I should take a CD or an IPOD for the ceremony music
