I am so glad I am not the only one!! Chandlyn hasn't gotten back to me on much either!! We are getting married at 1:00 on February 7 '07. I think it will give the guests time to get a drink and some lunch in between. No different then having a wedding here. Usually you have that couple hours in between the ceremony and reception. Wow 80 guests that is alot of people. I can't wait for the menus!!

I'm not sure about the Plantation... we have a small group, so we're just doing the semi-private dinner & renting out the disco afterwards.

I don't know what else the resort offers in way of a party or luncheon (nothing from what I've heard). I haven't booked the reception yet b/c Chandlyn has not gotten back to me. I emailed her a few weeks back and she said they don't plan weddings til 2 months beforehand!!! Then I wrote back a few days ago asking if I could at least reserve a reception venue and haven't heard anything yet. Any ideas??

Hmmm... my ceremony will be at 4, so there's really not any time in between. Maybe you can just hang out at the bars. I don't think you'd have enough time for TOO much. Hmmm, I'll think about this! Oh, and there is no option for a semi-private luncheon or anything like that - just dinner.

My welcome bags are probably going to have much of the same - definitely the cups, since Riu has little cups!

I can't seem to paste the pictures of the restaurant's wedding reception set-up, so let me know your email addresses if you want me to send them to you!

So if we booked the plantation do we still need to pay per person for the menu

If you host the images on another site (like photobucket.com), the pictures will show up here.

Oh, and thanks for the menu info!
