WeLcOmE to the forum!!!

I would defitenly say Evita's, especially after seeing Mo's pics and reading her review. The restauraunt responds quickly to requests and is very friendly!

Your bridesmaids will love it! Very thoughtful

Very pretty. Thanks for sharing!

to the forum Lee! My suggestion would be to read through the bajillion (lol, yes its really that many,lol) posts on the forum and you will defitenly feel less stressed and come out with more ideas than you could ever imagine! I must say, you found an awesome resource to help plan your DW, you'll love it here! Congrats & Happy Planning

to the forum Sonnet and William! Yaaay, another August 08 bride!!! Are you doing anything special like a theme to incorporate the 08.08.08? I am hoping I can do some kind of "infinity theme". I love your name btw! Congrats & Happy Planning

Here are two numbers I found for the RIU Ocho Rios (I'm thinking they are toll free to call): 1-888-666-8816 (USA) 1-800-225-5748 (MEXICO)

Am I having dejavu or didn't I just read and reply to a similar post?

I agree with everyone else about something being a little odd about your TA! I defitenly would try and talk to the TA's manager or someone higher up. Also, as far as contacting the hotel, you have to remember they are on "island time", so sometimes they may take 2 to 3 weeks to respond! It may be quicker if you can call, not a guarantee though! Hang in there and let us know how everything goes.

to the forum Melissa. Congrats & Happy Planning

to the forum! How many people are you expecting? And what other activities do you have in mind? I think that would help some folks on the forum determine what recommendations to give. Congrats & Happy Planning

to the forum! I know some ladies setup wedding websites to get tentative RSVPs for their destination wedding as well as their AHR. And then send only travel info out accordingly. There's a section for several website vendors on the forum, so you may want to check that out. CoNgRaTs & HaPpY pLaNnIng!

to the forum! Yaay another August 08 Bride!!! Congrats & Happy Planning
