Gran Caribe Real 2011 Brides

[carmresu]

I had Erika at Spazul - she did my hair and make-up and it was perfect.  I showed her a photo of how I wanted my hair done and she did it exactly as it was pictured.  My make-up was wonderful too - it lasted the whole day and looked completely natural.

 

My mom used Beatrice - and her hair was great too.

 

Our wedding was on 11/22/11 - going to hopefully post a review soon.. but please feel free to message with any questions

I recently returned from my 12-17-11 wedding at the GCR and it was absolutely perfect! Everything from the ceremony, flowers, hair/makeup, centerpieces and DJ was AMAZING! My WC was Flora and I have to say she was great. She made sure everything was where it should be and listened to all my requests. She went out of her way to ensure everything was perfect me and it was! I will post a more detailed review later but if y'all have any questions please PM me and I will answer any questions!

As the mother of the bride above that was married on 12-17-11, I feel inclined to just add a few of my own personal thoughts.  First, the Gran Caribe was awesome!  Second, I can not say enough how much FLORA took care of everything to perfection for us.  We simply met with her for less than an hour and explained how we wanted everything, where we wanted decorations and she did everything the day of the wedding exactly as we had requested.  She was there throughout the entire evening and even suggested that with some of the leftover LED lights we had purchased that it would be neat to add to bottom of glasses of the mixed drinks and champagne glasses.......guests thought it was too cool!  I am sure my daughter will post a more detailed review, hair - exactly what she wanted, make-up was gorgeous, etc.   I just hope this helps with anyone with concerns or fears - you need have none.  Hope you are just lucky enough to get Flora - she so made my daughter's day perfect!!

so now im upset!!!.. My WC tells me that the Sky Lanterns are not allowed!! after she told me there were as long as we pay a fee for a permit!! I was soo exciting about this.. and now its all up in the air. She said she was going to forward my message to her supervisor to confirm... but why say it was ok and now its not!!!!!!! what the ~~!!! Any one has asked abot the sky lanterns?>

[Shay12]

I have been afraid to ask... I have mine already though. What if we just do it....

[Shay12]

Please! Tell me more about these LED lights! That you can put in the drinks?

Yes, we ordered from Save-on-crafts and had within 2 days.  Flora used them in all the centerpiece flower vases, under tulle on bride/groom table and then rest in drinks.  They came shipped in boxes of 18 - they were small and flowered shaped.  The bartenders lined the bar up with the glasses of champange with the lights in them at the bottom.  Again, we really simply took all our own decorations that we had brought and gave to Flora on Thursday and she did everything else as far as all the decorating on Saturday.
