We used a credit card to pay Chandlyn ( band... flowers etc.) and paid Photoshop with cash There was no extra charge on my credit card... but I did call Visa before I left to let them know i would be using it out of the country... can't hurt:)

This is something I emailed Chandlyn about before my wedding. The tax is built into the prices

Congrats!! You're pics are just awesome...very nice I love the colors of the wedding party

Here's a thread about the rooms

We didn't really have a "reception" as there was only 10 of us. Just dinner at Mamee There was always a Photoshop guy wandering around at the dinner place so we just got him to take a cake cutting pic. And yes someone else does the video..you just tell Micheal and he sets it up

Hi We used Micheal ( well Christopher his assistant) as well. Cost us about 700.00 (video..and 50 pics on CD) We had the Royal pkg. so we only purchased an extra hour as the pkg. included the 45 min. ( I think it was 45) He was great

Norma is fantastic....Can't say enough good things about Lee's. We also did the Dunn's and shopping with them as well as the private transport to the hotel from the airport. The drivers are awesome...polite, acomadating...etc. Norma also gave us a phone to use for the week should we need to call for taxis, excurtions etc.

Hi I used my Jamaica certificate for a Health card ( I had to take it with me) also used it to change my name with the bank etc. I didn't have to get one here It took about 7 or 8 weeks for it to arrive.

Hi Not sure about the Half Moon....we got married at Riu and when we booked the wedding time slot we had to give our credit card info in case we cancelled then we'd be billed $250.00 ( I think it was 250) We paid the wedding co-ordinater the total cost for everything when we arrived. your situation sounds kinda odd

Welcome back Mrs Your pics look amazing...I love the light blue your girls were wearing, the flowers, and you looked beautiful Congrats

Also, a little off topic, but apparently the RIU does not have irons in the rooms, you have to rent them from front desk?? Keep this in mind for the guys!! We flew Skyservice as well and we did have to put in up overhead...but another bride had to put hers in the same spot so we both took extra care leaving the plane so as to end up with the right dress They do have irons and boards (at least in the Junior Suites anyways) my mother in law had a reg. room and she requested both to her room for the one day...no probs

Hi I didn't bother with the "trial" one...but I did take a pic with me to show her how i wanted it to look. I was happy with the way it turned out.

Hi We decided on buying a CD of 50.....(we had the Royal pkg. so we got the mini album with 12 prints free) With the CD we just got some printed here at home @Costco We had Christopher (the assisant) here's a link wen337/wedding pics - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Have a great trip...you'll love every minute of it:)

Congrats!! Your pics are awesome

We were going to have the isle runner but decided against it....just seemed a bit more "beachy" walking down through the sand We did choose to have scattered rose petals down the isle though

We picked the Royal pkg. there was only 10 of us but we thought that way we'd have the photograper for 1 hr. then just hired him for an extra hour. Also with that pkg. we got the mini album with 12 prints....then we just purchased a CD with 50

We only had 10 people so we didn't have alot of things but we did have to cart down our silk flowers...4 candle holders...place cards, fans etc. We just had each person pack some stuff for us.

We are currently trying to decide if we want to get private transportation for everyone arriving the same day as us or just using the included transportation. 1) How many stops do you make along the way? 2) Does it stop at any other resorts on the way? We are taking quite a few bags of luggage and possibly boxes with the OOT bag stuff in them. 3) Is there enough room on there for all of our stuff? We used Lee's Tours and Taxi They were great....they stop only where you want they have air condioned vans...it was $20.00 per person 1 way I think the website is Welcome to Lees Taxi and Tours Jamaica by Lees Elite Travel & Tours Ltd., Taxi and Tours in Jamaica, Jamaica Taxi and Tours - www.leestaxiandtoursjamaica.com - [email protected]

I'm going to try again and find another service I can use. How long did it take for the documents arrive? Hi We sent ours regular mail (my mom works at the Post Office too It took only 2 weeks to arrive and I sent Chandlyn an email when i sent it to let me know when it arrived...I think you're okay if it's not there the full 30 days before
