Grand Riviera Princess & Grand Sunset Princess

We are going with the Beach party and it includes Dj service and open bar we paid the extra $600 for a dance floor so that we would have something to Dance on for our first dance.

Weneedhelpforwedding-how did you get your dj included?

I don't think I have seen any info on a Royalty package, please explain.

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone who is doing a legal wedding has been ask for scanned copies of their (and 4 witnesses) passports? This seems really shady to me. A faxed copy maybe, but an actual scanned digital copy could possibly be reproduced. I am not sure what to do about this, any suggestions?

We are getting married on Nov 9, 2009 and the info we got back when we booked was 80 per person which included Private Beach Party: From 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Price includes: Private dinner (grill buffet), Domestic Open Bar, DJ service and Caribbean standard decoration. We require a minimum of 40 people. You are allowed to bring your own music CD’s. We are having it from 6 -10. Maybe they changed things im not sure but thats what we booked.

Yea that does sound shady and very risky why dont u just get legally married at home skip all the crap mexico wants you to do dont tell anyone and have a symbolic ceremony or renewal of vows. Thats what we r doing i heard the ceremony is almost the same anyways. Just an idea seems better then giving out personal info like that to strangers who knows whos hands will get on that stuff.

Hi,

Sorry I tried to attach the wedding package PDF but it did not work. I pasted the information below for the Royalty package. This is basic and then you decide whether you want the dinner in their restaurant which is free or have something private like the gala or beach party where they charge more.

Let me know if you need more info.

I believe they have two slots for weddings at GRP. One earlier in the day (1pm?) and one at 4. I've got the 4 o'clock slot, as I also wanted to avoid the heat. I'm hoping, also, that since the sun will be low, we won't get the zebra stripes (from the gazebo shadows) that you're speaking of. We're going to have our photographer taking pics of us getting ready from 1-2, pics of the groom with his family/wedding party from 2-3, pics of me with my family/wedding party from 3-4, then get everyone together and some of him and I alone after the ceremony(which should only last about a half hour). This way, we won't have an album full of wedding pictures that are dark. We've also got a TTD the next day, so we'll have the opportunity for more pictures of the two of us if we run out of time that evening.

Hope that helps!

Question for you ladies who are having the beach reception.....Do any of you have under 40 guests and if so what rate are you paying for those "empty seats" I have been back and forth on this with Patricia and having serious issues with what they are proposing! The going rate for an adult is $85/pp and kids are half of that, for the empty seats they want me to pay the rate of $85/pp. I'm insisting that they give me the kids rate since its pure profit for them and if I was filling them with kids thats what I would be paying anyway! What do you think?

Sorry to take so long to reply, I don't get on here that much anymore. There is a main lobby bar right next to one of the buffet restaurant. We went out to the walk way between the water streams and had our first dance. When you get there ask the wedding coordinators and they will let you know. There was another girl getting married after me and she did the same thing. She burned songs for her ceremony then another cd for her first dance. The wedding coordinator will hand it to the band so you can have your first dance.
