Congrats Jane! Thanks for the Review cant wait to see your pics!!

Im using Sungold too so glad you liked them!

What Menu did you pick? I have the Caribbean package looks like you had the tropical package? Confused with this as they told me if I book the Blue Lagoon I have to choose the Caribbean package?

 

Were getting married in April 2010 what do recommend I should go over with Nina before I arrive?

 

Thanks for letting us know about the spa thats pretty scary!

Hi Lisa,
We choose from the Italian menu. Who told you that you had to choose the Caribbean package in order to book the Blue Lagoon? If it was Julian I suggest you confirm with Nina (Julian gave us a lot of incorrect information). We had the Tropical Package and paid for the private venue ($400 for four hours).

I recommend confirming as much as possible with Nina before you arrive (meals, flowers, reception timing, etc.). It felt like I spend half of the four days before the wedding going back and forth from the wedding office. When you have your meeting with Nina upon arrival bring everything you need to give her (place settings, music, sand ceremony set, seating chart, etc.). This will save you time as well because we had to bring that stuff to her after our inital meeting and it just wasted time we could have been spending at the beach with our guests!

I really don't think anyone will have to go through the confusion I did now that they have Nina-she is very organized and very professional. I hope for everyone's sake they keep her around!!

let me know if you have any more questions
Jane

Thank you Jane

Yes this is the problem with different corrdinators. Thats why I been waiting closer too to get the right info.

I have emailed Nina more than 2 weeks ago and have not heard back. Just to confirm the wedding then I was going to ask her all the questions.

Well thank you

Thanks for the great review! I am getting married at the Grand Palladium June 3, 2010. I had a couple of questions for you. First, do you have a picture of your table decorations? Also, do you still have the flower brochure or a picture of the flowers you chose? If you have any of this info or other tips of advice, my email is [email protected] Thanks so much!

Hi Tiff

I was wondering if you have heard back from NINA(the new WC) I have been freaking out since I saw the forum on Palladium addicts they have lost things for future brides.
I have emailed a few times since the post Nov 2nd.
Has ANYONE heard anything since Nov 2nd? I have confirmations from both WC prior to NINA but worried from all the problems they have had. Any feedback from anyone would be great!
Thank you!

Ahh! Hi again, Lisa! I have emailed 3 times in the past week and a half - first time on 10/30 and most recently yesterday afternoon and have heard nothing back. I've emailed the weddings email, the reservations manager email, and then the guest relations email. And nothing... I'm curious too to hear if anyone has heard back in the past 2 weeks. This is really starting to freak me out...

I'm in the same boat as both of you. I've emailed the wedding coordinator directly and I even sent an email request through the Fiesta Group web-page. Haven't heard a thing from anyone. I've decided I am going to have to get a calling card and start calling the resort directly. This is not a good sign though.
