Hi Ladies!! I have been following this forum for weeks and finally decided to join the conversation We are getting married at the GPPC January 27, 2014. I am in the midst of working out the details with Caroline and JUST found out about the $500 fee for an outside photographer. I am totally disgruntled with this. We are bringing at least 30 guests to their hotel that otherwise would have never even heard of the place. $500 is a lot of money when we are already bringing the hotel so much $$$ with our wedding. Ok, that's my rant about that... I initially wanted the private beach party but after crunching the numbers and weighing my options I have decided the private reception is going to work best for us. Has anyone on here done this? I am unclear on what to expect as far as location and schedule of events for the private reception. ANY insight would be greatly appreciated!!
