RIU Brides...Question about Welcome Dinner

[Geralyn]

I am getting married Sat the 11 and wanted to have my welcome dinner on fri the 10th. Which restaurant did you have your welcome dinner at?? One of the ones that you needed reservations or the buffet? Also did you set this up ahead of time with the WC?

I didn't have mine yet, but I contacted Chantelle about the option of a welcome dinner at the Rose Hall Buffet. Basically I just asked her if they would be able to set up a group of tables for the wedding group. She told me that it would not be a problem. I figured this would offer the most flexibility in terms of a seating time in case people want to do tours that day, rather than having to go with one of the set times for the reservation-based resturants.

I would say that would be the least stressful way of going about it. I have no idea if Chantelle would be able to book that large of a seating before you get there. Have you tried emailing her. I know she's busy but I don't think anyone else has done a welcome dinner yet. As I said in my review, mine was much like what Jamaica0619 has planned. We just got tables put together at lunch in Mahoe Bay. I think it worked nicely. It would be even nicer at supper I'm sure because everyone would be dresse for dinner and the Rose Hall Buffet is much more formal than Mahoe Bay. There always seemed to be room in there too so I'd say it would work very well.
