Thanks ladies, Yes I know it is a lot of people but we both come from very large families and are both in professional colleges with tons of classmates to invite as well, so cutting our numbers right now isn't really an option - but who knows it is still a year away, maybe some people will back out. Another question: Has anyone had their reception dinner at Tequila or La Gran Tortuga in Tulum? Those are the options that will fit 150 for dinner, but I did not have a chance to try them out while I was there- and I am just curious which atmosphere is more fun, and which meal was better for a wedding? And when did you do your speeches, we are given 2 hours for dinner and 3 hours for our private pool side reception, and I am just curious which venue would be better. Thanks, Jamie

I just came back from the GBP and loved it, so we decided to get married there next May 2014, however I have been looking at some of these prices and I am blown away by all these extra cost. I assumed we would have to pay about $2,000 for the ceremony and dinner but I am having roughly 150 people and if we have to pay $35 a head to privatize a restaurant and on top of that if we have our dance by the pool it cost $17 a head an hour for booze?! Is this not an all inclusive resort? How can they charge so much extra? I really hope I am misunderstanding something here because by the sounds of things it is going to cost me and arm and a leg! If you don't mind me asking, those of you who got married here that had larger groups what was your grand total for everything you needed for your wedding at this resort. Thanks
