Jamaica Riu Brides

you just described my exact thought process!!!

We are thinking about having our reception dinner on the beach in front of the Seagrape. Has anyone seen the dinner set-up there, or just the beach area itself? I don't want to have people walking by while we are having dinner, we have about 25 or so guests coming so I would like it to be private. I don't know if I should just book the Plantation instead, which according to Chandlyn is still available.

Have you found any details about dinner on the beach in front of Seagrape? (cost, set-up, etc). I would love to be able to have my reception on the beach but hadn't seen any else mention it for ROR! I am just booking by wedding for Jan 2009 so I haven't contacted Chandyln yet. Any info you have would be great!

If you are just wanting a cocktail party, it is $10/person. I believe if you want the dinner on the beach too that it is $50/person. That price includes drinks, dinner, set-up, and staff.

Maybe I missed it. Anyone know what that meal is for the Mammee Bay Steakhouse?

anything off of the menu!

Thanks so much for posting. I am assuming it is the same menu for the reception. It is just a la carte for guests?

The Mammee Bay is buffet for salad, soup and dessert always. Even for your reception. They serve you your main course. And your wedding cake . I don't know if you can choose more than one main course...you could always ask?
