Hey girls! Chandlyn just got back to me regarding the private dinner at the Plantation. I was asking her if I have to pay $25 per guest for their dinners or if there is a menu that is included at no charge. This is her response and the menu: Hi Elizabeth Kindly see the attached menu that comes with the Plantation. There is also room for Dj and dancing . The Plantation restaurant is confimed from 6:30pm -8:30pm and the disco from 9pm -11pm for May 16, 2008. Regards Chandlyn Restaurant Plantation STARTERS FROM THE BUFFET Assorted Simple salad , Assorted salads Tuna salad, beef salad, beef salpicon, squid salad Soup Pumpkin Soup Main courses a la carte Seafood Combination Snapper filet with jumbo shrimps, squid and musels Served with rice, vegetables and burre blanc sauce ***** Stuffed Jumbo Shrimps With cream cheese and wrapped with bacon flambe with tequila Served with rice, stuffed potatoes and grilled vegetables ********* Beef Stripe loin in red wine sauce Served with rice, stuffed potatoes and grilled vegetables Grill Chicken breast in mushrooms curry sauce Served with rice, stuffed potatoes and vegetables ***** Desserts and bread bar Assorted pastries, cream and tart, seasonal fresh fruits Ice cream and a selection of bread and rolls ***** Drinks Mineral Water Soft drinks Beer Red, White or white Wine Coffee Heidi - I am also a vegetarian. I think I remember you saying that they can accomodate that, right?

Heidi, I really like them. You're so crafty!

My advice is to keep trying them on til you "just know". I tried on some dresses that I never thought I'd wear, but ended up falling in love with one of them, you just never know til it's on. Definitely don't settle for something you don't love, you only get to do this once!

Do you know if most hotels would be able to give out the bags when the guests check in? I have people arriving different days and at different times and don't want to spend my days waiting in the lobby for them to give out their bags. I'm wondering if I just gave all of them to the front desk, if they could hand them out when guests check in?

Thanks Kelly~ Kelly, you can have first dibs, you're getting married so soon! I'll just take whatever is left. Thanks!

I'm glad I asked! I'm definitely NOT buying them. Thank you all for your input.

You'll find so much info here. We have the same wedding date!

Can't wait to hear more of your plans!

It was hard to figure out what to do with the photographer. A little off topic (Again, I know!)... Did you set something up with the hotel for the welcome mixer and rehearsal dinner? I have such a large group and didn't know if I had to reserve a private area beforehand for those things.

I was going to order some of those! I would probably need 4 b/c I want to put my dad's picture in my bouquet and my 3 sisters bouquets. How much are you selling them for? Send me a PM if they're still available. Thanks!

I never thought about the pictures...oops! Thank god I have you girls thinking for me!

Thanks, I probably won't get them. One less thing to pay for...yeah!

I have 80+ guests coming to Jamaica, so I thought these would be cute to give out at the reception, so everyone would know everyone elses name. But the more I think about it, the more I'm not liking the idea. What do you all think?

I just found another review from someone who recently got married at ROR: Ocho Rios: Riu Ocho Rios - Traveler Reviews - Wedding was "no problem mon!" - TripAdvisor
