I'm back... and now a Palladium bride-to-be! ***PICS***

[caroline]

Petals, thank you so much for taking the time to respond to all of my questions you're the best! I feel so much better for your having visited and sounding as thrilled w/it as you do!

 

We have about 20 booked thus far and so are going to have to do the set menu (did Charmaine quote $50 per head?) but that's okay - so long as the menu is good.

 

I'm thinking that the BL (outdoor) would be a nice venue~

 

Know what you mean about the photographer-issue. I checked w/her on that also. Do you know how many photographs are in the "package" and did you happen to see any of the photographers work?

petals, what have you decided on for entertainment? Did Charmaine give you options?

No problem! I'm glad I can help out the rest of the GPJ brides.

I'm also doing the Blue Lagoon. It's really pretty and I think it'll be lovely at sunset. The other restaurants are also nice but BL is the only one where you can have music, etc.

The Caribbean package includes eight 5x7 photographs, and she said he only takes pictures during the ceremony. I didn't see any of his work.

I think we're just going to have the DJ. Although while I was there, I saw the steel drum band perform and they were awesome! I understand they have a minimum of 2.5 hours though. I just went off of the attached price list.

Great pics, thanks for sharing!

Petals,

 

You are such a wealth of information!!! Thanks for posting such great pics... I was able to visit and my future brother in law took pics, but yours are so stunning!!! I shared the pics with my fiance and he is even more excited! I guess I need to get on the ball now and get in touch with Charmaine, but I'm not to sure if it's too early since my wedding won't be until 2010.

 

One question, when I was there I asked about outside vendors and she said they had not made a decision... Did you speak with her about this and have they made a decision. I'm asking because I will most likely want to bring in my own photographer, though I haven't found one yet, because their photography packages seem pretty limited.

 

Thanks again!!!

You're welcome! It's exactly what I would've wanted if I hadn't had a chance to get down there so I'm more than happy to share.

I didn't look at any of their photography packages.... and I don't know what their decision was about outside vendors as a whole, but when I saw her the second day, she said that she checked about the photographer and she said she had inquired about it and they wouldn't be pushing the issue of the photographer and it would be fine for me to bring mine. Please let me know if you hear anything!!

I think they'll have a lot more happy brides if they are flexible in that way! Nobody wants to be worrying about that on their wedding day.

Congrats on picking a place! I really liked the pic of blue lagoon!

Petals, Can I ask one more question? Do you think the Blue Lagoon is big enough for 60 people with room for a dance floor? I can't exactly tell from the picture how big it is?

 

Thanks for all the info...

Thanks for posting all of this resort information! It's so nice to see personal pictures and experiences instead of just company websites!
