Ladies- I can not stress enough how important it is to get all of you items back after your reception dinner. Elect someone you trust to collect what you want to keep. I had planned on re-selling my pomanders, battery operated tea lights and starfish bowl when I returned. But I was unaware that they didn't re-collect those things after the dinner so now they basically are telling me they can't find my items and I am shit out of luck and that it wasn't their responsibility to collect the items I gave them the day before to use during dinner. Just fyi- collect what you want back after dinner. They will not do it for you.

You looked absolutely gorgeous on your day!! LOVED your review! If you don't mind I want to use your layout, I thought it was perfect how you put everything into a category. Hopefully I will have my pictures back in a couple days so I can write my review.

I found them in my email.. Here are the options they sent me:

Hey Ladies, OK, so I have totally been MIA because for some reason this thread wasn't on my subscription list anymore. So I'm so sorry I haven't been in this thread like I use to!!! My wedding at the Gran Bahia Principe on 9-10-11 was amazing!! I would totally do it all over again if I had the chance. I've only got a couple teasers from my photog- booo

OMG!!! You are next girl!! I am so excited for you! Soon2bnJersey pretty much summed it up. I would bring extra bug spray and whatever SPF works for you. I wanted to tan so I used Hawaiian Tropic SPF 4, lol.. But my hubby LATHERED on the SPF 80, lmao. MAC has a really good face primer and I used it before my foundation and I didn't feel pasty or like my makeup was melting. I'm so excited for you!

Hey Jodiann, Congrats on booking and thank you for the kind words. Like I stated, I am very blunt and I am glad that you are going with GBP. It is a beautiful resort and Chandlyn is very sweet and tries to accommodate everything you could possibly want. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask any of us, we are all here for ya

I gave them a picture and it wasn't what I wanted at all. Ins Here is the picture I sent: I wanted 3 tier cake with no designs (I wanted the frosting to be smooth and simple) at all and I would bring in the ribbon, and instead of round I wanted them to be square. I got this: (This is not my cake, I don't have a picture yet but this is an example of a previous cake from the resort that Chandlyn sent me a couple weeks before) I got a 3 tiered, square cake with all this piping mess, uggggh. I was soooo mad. But it had an amazing taste! We did chocolate for the top tier and vanilla for the bottom two. I would suggest you send in a picture and just pray that they can create whatever you want as long as it is not too difficult. I just don't understand where all this design came from when my initial picture was something so plain?!?

Thanks sooo much daphodil! Let me reiterate and jump on some things that she said too.. I LOVED the wedding, it was amazing and no one realized the couple of small snaffooos but me. I have OCD and I'm very picky but that's just me. As a wedding planner I also have to remember that some wedding vendors are not as accommodating or as nice as I am or willing to give 120%, they are ok with giving 90%. The little things that bothered me may be non-existent when you get there. The Dolce Vita manager did offer to move our wedding reception out into the dining room while they sprayed the secluded room, but I didn't want that so we just ran and got some OFF. Also- I think I may have forgot to put in my earlier review post- for me, it was much easier to write everything down for Chandlyn. If there is a certain way you want your ceremony/reception decorations just have it written down for her. For example- I HATE real flowers, so I told her I wanted no flowers anywhere! I brought luminaries as the placecards with each persons name on them to be on their plate. So since they usually have the napkin standing on the plate, I told her to put the napkin on the side of the plate and place my luminaries on the plate so people knew where they were suppose to sit. So if you care about where things are to be placed just write it out to give to her when she meets with you and you turn over all your decorations. Also, my cake wasn't what I wanted design wise, but I wasn't able to speak with anyone about it and at that point oh well. The flavors I wanted where there. Oh and.. be prepared the coordinators leave after about an hour of your reception. They only work until 7. So if you have a lot of things planned (bouquet/garter toss, speeches, etc) have it written down on a timeline and elect someone to keep the schedule moving for you. I noticed we had a lot of down time because dinner service was soooo slow. Make sure you let her know after the main course you want your cake instead of the dessert that comes with dinner. I was disappointed that they cut my cake and put it in the boxes I provided for guests to take back with them instead of handing them out at the dinner. So people ate cake out of the boxes at dinner, lol. And make sure you bring a cake box big enough to take the rest of your cake back to your room. Or you can do like Tekeya and take their cake plate, haha!

The 1st picture is to show the bag and aluminum water bottle.

I can only answer your 1st question.. You only have to pay for a day pass if the person not staying at the resort is eating, attending the wedding etc. If they are simply just coming to your room to perform the service you don't have to pay for a day pass.
