Congrats dessy. I am getting married at Riu Paradise Island this coming Dec. So far the WC is pretty slow in responding to emails as long as 2-3 weeks. I am still trying to get used to it. I am booking the Royal Package which includes a semi-private dinner for up to 40 guests but I am doing my own private reception. Note that everything adds up though. Also, it is important to get price confirmation and something in writing since it seems to change at almost each email exchange (upward of course.) The amount varies, from $.50 to $100 depending on what it is. It is not so much the amount but I'd feel better that the pricing is what was given to me as opposed to changing all the time albeit $.50 or $100. The venue is still a couple of weeks away. I will post more when I get back. Hope this helps.

Hi Ioua4, I sent you a separate reply asking when your wedding date is and how the experience was. I just learned from reading this post that it is not until 11/27. Mine is coming up 12/11 and getting excited. I total agree with you on the photographer pkg at Riu. I am working with Benjamieson instead. You are also right about not hearing back from the coordinator. She must be busy with your wedding planning now and maybe another one; hope to hear from her soon. I just want to write you a note; I thought it only happens to me. Well, congrats and I hope everything will be the way you wanted.

Hi Ioua4, Not sure if you have gotten married already or still have a few week left (you mentioned it's in Nov right?) If you already gotten married, please let me know if there should be anything I should look out for. Also, did you have a private reception or the semi-private (was told they can't accommodate semi-private dinner until 9:pm). I can't seem to get a hold of the wedding planner; she must be busy with your wedding or some other bride. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you. Boneola
