Is there NOT a package that can be picked for more guests??? ( which obviously it can because I have read through the threads and responses from you ladies)......and then the Palladium website states that the price quoted for the silver is good for a maximum of 50 people.  I would love to get this cleared up with Caroline ( another email sent last night) to know how much roughly we are going to be spending.  

SILVER wedding package has 20 ppl max....included in this package is a semi private dinner for 20 ppl .  Any more than 20 ppl is $20 per person. All the other "Karen Bussen" packages are for 8 ppl max.  At least this is what I have.  lol i'm confused

Does anyone know if (and how much) you can hire some entertainers for your beach party at the GPPC?? Like dancers or those performers that throw fire around (lol sorry I don't know the proper name) If anyone has done this please let me know.

Hey Jen!  Yeah I am just going by what she said in the email last night,  So would you mind sending me what you have stating that 20 are inlcuded.... Because like I said before in one of the other threads, that's a big difference in price if only 8 are included as apposed to 20 lol

Emailed with Carolina today, asked her what the difference was between the silver package and the ocean pearl, she said Karen Bussen, a famous Manhattan wedding designer, designed that package. For me the difference is almost $2000. The silver also includes up to 20 people, not Karen Bussen's 8. There are also 6 or 7 color pallets to chose from also. No brainer for me! We are about 3 weeks out....glad to be talking more with her and she's so quick to respond!

I don't know why I am having such an issue with Caroline in the # of people included in the silver package.  I emailed with her back and forth last Thurs, and she keeps telling me that there is only 8 people included in that package and every guest after that would be 20 US a person. I also asked why the website states 50 people included and then other brides I have talked to have said they have 20 included with theirs. She says that I should just go with what she emails me and that the website isn't up to date, and as far as the other brides they might have reserved their spots before March 1st and that I reserved my spot March 6th so I will have a different price.  I am pretty frusterated with this soo far and think it's a load of BS lol  So I emailed her back to say that I booked at this resort under the impression that this many guest 20 were included and what is the $20 US extra a person accomodate for? But she hasn't responded back yet.........sooo hopefully I hear something soon.

You know Jenn, I had not even thought about those entertainers but I am now interested. It would certainly provide some extra excitement for us.  So tell me - have any ladies getting married at GPPC in November (from the US) made their travel plans in the DR?  I'm trying to find a great deal for the Royal Suites Turquesa but some of these numbers make me cringe and I'm debating if I should go through a travel agency?  Any good companies?

 

Plus -- we picked up our wedding invites and plan to address some later tonight!!!!!  I can't WAIT to get these out!
