 Congrats!!

 

Did you have an open bar for the cocktail hour? I thought open bar is included with the cocktail hour price, but its actually $5 more per real resort guest, and $15 per non real resort guest.

 

I know they are trying to make money but COME ON. It's an all-inclusive resort! Paying extra for a cocktail hour is one thing, but to have to pay again for booze that everyone already paid for is just annoying. haha sorry rant over.

I think that we only paid 1 price for the cocktail hour, I don't remember there being separate prices for open bar vs not... maybe it's something new they are doing?

 ours was included, we did the a-la-carte option and paid $10 per real resort guest for hot and cold apps as well as open bar.

Wedding date BOOKED: Thursday, April 25, 2013.

Just a tip for future Brides: as soon as you have an idea of a date, BOOK IT! The Royal was already completely booked for our first three date choices. At this point, I am just happy we are still getting married in the same month as we had planned!

I am glad someone else was confused about this as well...to be honest I still am.  Below is the email that Maritza and I were replying back an forth.  So it seemed the more I tried to clarify the more confused I became.

 

 

ME:I would like to have a cocktail hour but I am confused about this.  What is the cost for Real guest? $5 US per person and this includes open bar and appetizers? 

MARITZA:Private Cocktail: champagne and canapés (1 hour, Minimum 10 guests)   Prices just for the wedding day

Real Guest          $10.00 usd per person

Non Real Guest    $25.00 usd per person

Note: Open bar required: + $5.00 Real guest   &  + $15 Non Real Guest (Welcome cocktail)

ME:I am still confused about this.  So if we want open bar for cocktail hour what is the total price per Real guest?

 

Then it seemed that either she didn't respond or I cannot find the reply....So is it 15$ pp for Real guest? Or 10$?

Seriously how can it be called a cocktail hour with only fizzy white wine? They are setting up an open bar 50 feet from my cocktail hour for the reception (an hour after the cocktail hour).

 

The $10 per real guest is only for cold apps not the hot ones. If I wanted hot its an extra $5 per real guest and $10 for non real guest.

 

I am a month out from my wedding (yay!) but an additional $265 dollars for the cocktail party just to make sure people actually have a choice of COCKTAILS is annoying.
