Tighty-
which dj was that? and does preferred vendor mean that you don't have to buy the day pass for him? Do you have to pay for his dinner?

We booked Ivan Gomez from DJ Doremixx. I can pass along his email address if you're interested. We didn't pay for a day pass for him and didn't pay for his dinner either.

It was cheaper booking directly with Ivan than booking him through the resort. I thought they would charge me a day pass, even though he's a preferred vendor, but they didn't.

He was cheaper than through the resort huh? Maybe I can afford a DJ then? I wonder how much he charges....I'll have to PM him, I think he's a member here.

Yeah, it was a $450 difference.

Hi ladies,

 

thank you so much to all The Royal brides who have been giving so much helpful information. We are going for our site visit this November and right now The Royal is our top choice. We were origially thinking of doing a non-resort reception but we have found so far for what we are looking for it is more expensive to go this way. Has anyone else encountered this?

 

Also did anyone use the photographers provided by The Royal? Sorry if this is already posted some where I would not find it.

 

Besides the Gazebo and beach I have heard some brides say The Royal also has a garden where you can do the cocktail hour?

 

Thanks everyone and if anyone needs anything while I am on my site visit please don't hesitate to ask. I will take lots of pictures.

Hi all,

 

I'm so excited! I think I have FINALLY decided to go with the Royal PDC...after spending so much time reading up on all the different resorts. What a relief! I haven't picked a date yet, but we are almost there. I'm just waiting for my TA to get back to me.

 

I have a couple of random questions:

 

1. Does anyone have the menu choices?

2. Do the guests get a choice of entrees or do we have to pick only one that everyone will have?

3. Did anyone use the live music for the cermony? If so, did you have you have a choice of songs? Were you able to request a song?
