HELP Grand Palladium Brides!!!!

Jascynthia just sent me the flower book as a PDF. Give me your email and I will forward to you.

Does anyone have any recommendations for which resuturant to choose a la carte from? Jascynthia sent over the Japanese and Mexican which I nixed, so I'm left with the Posiedan and Xaymaica creole Restuarnt. Also can we mix and match from the menus? She didn't say If I could or not, just how many to choose.

Thanks!
Dana

I just heard from Jascynthia. She said that they provide the setup for the ceremony, and there is a plug for the ipod. She said that burt CDs seldom work and would not recommend.

Hi Ladies,

 

I understand my question is personal, but what I can expect to pay for about 30 guests? I am not sure where I can find this information. I have must have to a dozen different links about GP, but no idea of a price range. If it is too personal to share here, can you please PM me? Thank you so much.

It depends on which package you choose... There's a base price for each package, which includes 8 people, and then you pay a per-person charge ($20-$50) for each additional person over the first 8 people.

The package info is posted in post #27 of this thread: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t31288-3

Petals,

How much did you pay for the steel drum band and how long did they play for? Do they charge hourly? Do you know if their price is negotiable?

 

Thanks! Dana

It was $500/hour, and arranged directly through Jascynthia so I didn't find out if the price was flexible or not....

We just hired them for one hour and that covered the pre-reception when people were getting seated, the ceremony, and the post-ceremony time when everybody got a glass of champagne for toasting.

We had our first dance to them and other people started dancing too. My MIL loved them and bought a CD they had available.

Hello Ladies!

I am down to the last few days before I head to Jamaica for my wedding on June 27th.

Any Suggestions??

Did you carry dress on plane?

I am packing a bunch of silk rose petals and flowers...did anyone have any problems with items like this on the plane?

DId anyone hear the saxophonist while there?

I'm right behind you!

Bring your dress on the plane! Can you imagine if they lost it with the luggage. I have a friend who is a flight attendant and she said before you board mention to the attendants that you have your dress with you and ask very nicely if it can be hung in the first class coat check, its not like there will be winter coats in there! We have silk rose petals as well and they are in the suitcase.

See you in Jamaica!

Congratulations Panda & Dana!

Don't sweat the small stuff, relax and have a fabulous wedding!

So, who gets tipped and how much??

 

The wedding coordinatior and the servers at the reception, but I have no idea how much. And anyone else? Thanks for any help!
