HELP Grand Palladium Brides!!!!

I know this is so confusing!!! It seems like everything they are telling us keeps changing!!! That was the only reason I was going with the Caribbean Package too!! So I guess now I am doing the Tropical!!

*Petals*

We will be in Jamaica the same week!! IF I book, my wedding date is May 25, 2009!!! I hope to confirm tomorrow w/ Jascynthia and book my travel w/ my TA asap!!!

I can't wait to be done with this planning!....it's so stressful!!!

I guess I'm back to the tropical package too. It's what I wanted originally, but then I was told the same as you Petals. I think we should invite Jascynthia to this forum so that she can clarify what is what and make sure we are all being told the same things.

Hi girls -

Here is the latest info from Jascynthia (see below)

I am attaching the dinner options that are included in the Tropical Package which is one of a la carte restaurants. You will need to choose one of the restaurant menus from which you will then choose one each of the courses ordered to make the set menu for your reception. I have an additional menu to send and will attach it later.

Please understand the Blue Lagoon is only used for breakfast and lunch but not for dinner, which is why it is possible to rent it privately for dinner. You will eat their but with the menu from one of the a la cartes.

Rental of speakers and microphone will be USD200.00 for the duration of the three hour reception. i.e. 6pm to 9pm.

If anyone needs the a la carte menus I can email them to you

HTH

This new info is great. Definitely trying to do the Tropical package with private dinner at Blue Lagoon. I guess the only difference is the special menus vs. the a la carte menus?

Here's a link to the rest of the a la carte menus for anybody who is interested: Food & Beverage

Ladies!!!!! I just heard from Jascynthia and I believe she is on her way on the forum. I gave her the information too. Don't know if this was a good idea but I think she wants to clarify some things.

Here is the email she sent..............

Let me see if I can explain a little more…

None of the wedding packages comes with a private dinner. The Caribbean package comes with different/special MENU options where as with the other wedding packages you choose a SET menu from the regular a la carte menu that is being served in the restaurant. Because a private dinner is not included in the package, we cannot allow music/entertainment to take place where the dinner is being served, as there will be other guests dining there also ( at the same time) and this will disrupt their dinner.

Therefore any group wishing to have music/entertainment at dinner MUST rent the restaurant to ensure privacy and will therefore be able to pay for the type of entertainment they want to have there.

I have explained this to a number of persons who have requested the information and I do not understand why there is confusion. This has always been the policy, it is not something that has been implemented since my arrival here at the hotel.

I am happy to clarify whatever misunderstanding there is out there. What forum are you on and how do I get on

I hope this clears things up a little better.

Kind regards

Jascynthia Jackson
