Anyone married at Sandals Royal Caribbean?

ImHisBlonde · January 10, 2008

Hey girls,

I'm getting married in 7 weeks at the Sandals Royal Caribbean in Mobay and was wondering if anyone else was married there?

I have a few questions and am not sure where to turn. I like being organized and know what is going on 100% of the time and this is driving me nuts!

Did you do the private dinner? (That costs and I don't understand WHY when its an all inclusive resort.)

I'd like to send an itinerary for the wedding day, but how can I don that when I don't know what to do about the dinner?

Did you just make reservations for your party to eat at and hope you all sat together? (its only 12 people)

And how did the wedding reception flow? like get married on beach and immediatly move to garden recption or what?

Thanks ahead of time!

Sorry, I'm not getting married there, but I AM honeymooning there - the week of Feb 17th! What day is your wedding and when do you leave? I can certainly take some pics for you!

We're going for two weeks and the first week we will be getting married at the Riu Ocho Rios.

I can tell you that most all-inclusive places WILL charge for a "private" dinner and this is because they have to close the area to other guests and the staff are working just for YOU and your guests, so you are essentially helping to pay for the staff... sorry cant be much more help then that, but try the Jamaica section where there are other Sandals brides!

Hey thanks for the info!

We will be arriving Feb 28th. Wedding on March 1 and leaving on March 6. Nice long vacation. Doing it all at once.

I have a friend out of Scotland that vacations there twice a year, so I get all kinds of fab pictures from her and is one of the reasons I am going there!

What room did you book?

We got a Beachfront Royal Suite with the Butler. Sure wish I had booked the River Suite though! Thats what she always uses now that they are open!
