ROR Free Wedding Package - HELP!

[eddieandsheila]

Hello Brides!

 

I'm a little confused about the Free ROR Package. I emailed Chandlyn and asked if there was a maximum # of people we could have for the Free Package. She said, as long as we have 10+ rooms booked we're fine. But, I read on their information booklet that the Free package only accomodates up to 20 people for dinner. Do we pay for the additional 20+ guests? Or are we forced into picking a different Package that accomodates our # of guests?

You will only receive Wedding Cake and Champagne to for 20 people. A Semi private dinner for the wedding group. This will include everyone in your group. I am going to get the free wedding package as well but I’m going to purchase additional champagne bottles and maybe upgrade my cake.

 

The Free Package 2010 at the Riu Ocho Rios includes:

 

* M.I.C.E Manager to help plan the special day

* Decoration set up for the ceremony location

* Bridal Bouquet and matching boutonniere for the groom

* CD or recorded music during the ceremony

* Semi private dinner for the wedding group at one of our specialty restaurants

* Wedding cake for 20 people

* Sparkling wine for 20 people (during the main toast only)

* Surprise spa gift

* Ten percent discount on all spa services for bride and groom

That's what I thought (but I think my TA was getting thrown off by the 'for 20 people' part) so, even if we have a group of 40+ the semi private dinner is also included, and the only thing we would need to upgrade are the bottles of champagne and cake!

 

Thanks so much for clarifying!

I think once you get to 50 people though you can no longer have the semi-private dinner that's included. 50+ people means you need to pay for the dinner which I think is $55.00 per person. This is most likely because a group of 50 or more won't fit into the area they have reserved for the semi-private dinners plus they need more staff to take care of the larger group.

But if you keep it under the 50 you should be fine with the free package.

Thanks for the info! We will definitely keep this in mind
