Steph,
My fiance and I are getting married at Beaches Boscobel on January 11. When I called WC Renee, to ask about food choices, she did tell me that we could make two choices based on the number of people we have attending (around 50 guests). The only thing... we have to let her know ahead of time how many meals of each type we will need. In addition, we can choose one "child friendly" dinner. We will probably go with chicken fingers and french fries... pretty common kid food, right? Renee was helpful... so far so good...

Thanks for the info! I am also coordinating wedding plans with Renee & e-mailed me the same response just yesterday, so that is good! I have also had good luck with her so far, she has been very quick to reply to all of my questions! Happy planning! We will have to compare notes since our dates are so close!

Carly,
Did they provide any flowers or decoration for the ceremony or did you have to purchase it all??

They provided a table for the sand ceremony and my bouquet and Matt's bout was included in the package that we bought. No arches or anything else was included and they way overcharge for that stuff, so we did without.

i talked to renee a couple of times and she emailed me some info, but when i asked questions about what she sent me, she didn't respond, so i ask my travel agent to find out everything for me. my travel agent also stated that she wouldn't be the wc in jamaica and that she's based out of miami.

Tareema - that is all true. The WC on site is named Cavel, or at least that's who was there when I was married.

I was severely disappointed in my lack of contact with Renee and numerous times had my TA step in to get information for me. My TA even had to go above Renee's head to supervisors on occasion.

If you have questions or information, you should post it in the Beaches Boscobel thread, as one of the other girls/guys might be able to help you out, or if you have info, it might help someone else out. Here is the thread that I mean - Beaches Boscobel
