Hi girls Yes the $15.00 Falls entrance fee is for per person Lee's charged us $12.00 per person (round trip) for the taxi service but also shopping in town afterwards...there was 7 of us. They are awesome

Also, did you go to Renova Spa for your hair or did you do it yourself? It looked great! Hi thank you No it wasn't a TTD I didn't bother with that...but the location wasn't too far away from the site. Yes we paid for an extra hour ($90.00) and Micheal told us we could split it so we had half hr. before the ceremony for room and balcony shots then the included time then half hr. after ceremony for more beach shots And yes I used Renova Spa for my hair...took a photo with me to show her Had hair and a manicure done ($110.00)

Hey all I forgot to mention in my review how impressed we were with Lee's Tours and Taxi This company was AWESOME...Norma was great and as MoWife mentioned she gave us a cell phone to use to contact her whenever we wanted to. We used the taxi service for transfer to and from the airport...much nicer (no worries about mixed luggage etc.) the driver stopped whenever we wanted. We also booked them for Dunn's Falls...picked us up, the driver waited @ the falls till we were done then took us to town shopping (2 different locations) waited while we shopped...So polite...profesional..just great people to deal with

Thank you everyone...wish we were still there

Heidi Congrats to both of you!! Your pics are awesome...wish we could of met up while we were both there but...anyways congrats again!!

Ok girls, here's my review... 1st of all the riu was really nice! No shortage of lounge chairs on the beach, drinks were great.. sometimes the towel guy at the pool got alittle bitchy, but thats ok, we still got our towels. The room was beautiful (jr. suite) with an awesome view. Food was good, although buffet was alittle repeative. I managed to get Chandlyn to make Michael and I dinner reservations for the night before our wedding.. * note.. girls this might be easier for you to do, rather then calling yourself. Our wedding was set for Wednesday at noon and we never actually got a meeting with Chandlyn till Monday afternoon.. very brief, but the wedding went off without a hitch. Michael's assistant Chris did our pictures, he was great. The video was also done.. nice guy, made things comfortable. I was happy with both the pictures and the video... found it very hard to choose witch ones to bring home. Took 2hrs for me and my hubby to decide. Our wedding dinner at Mamee bay was great.. our server (Newton) was awesome!! I've never seen one man carry 11 dinners on one arm before I've got to go now.. please feel free to ask any questions, after all, all you girls have been so helpful to me.

Hi girls The wedding was perfect! I'll post a review in a bit but just wanted to see if I could post the pics right Here goes wen337/wedding pics - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I received a emal from Michael today AGAIN wanting me to fill out the prepayment/booking form. I sent it back with info on what services i want but told him I'm not comfortable sending CC info online and I would be paying cash.

Quote: Originally Posted by Destination08 Everyone felt ok sending there credit card to her over the net? Hi I think I read on her emails to me NOT to send CC online but call it in I told her I'd prefer paying cash so I don't think I need to send any info

And they are always quick to respond to any issues/questions/concerns. They have just been great! I totally agree with you Norma has been awesome and very promt at replies...she also told me when she meets us she will provide me with a cell phone to call them whenever I want to use their services:)

Hi Heidi We arrive on the 5th around noon or so...maybe we will run into each other..as I don't know yet which bar is which and when we have to meet Chandlyn and Micheal not sure if we can really set up a time but.... I'll be wearing a tacky crown "bride to be"

Quote: Originally Posted by jaychristensen I probably should have thought about this before, but doesn anyone know how we can pay for wedding costs at RIU Ocho Rios? VISA, traveller's cheques, cash? We'd rather not incur a 5% surcharge, but also don't want to travel with thousands of dollars cash? Please help...we leave next Saturday...yikes! Hi I checked with Chandlyn awhile ago you can pay her cash or credit card if you pay with credit card there is no 5 % fee If you pay Micheal with credit card there is a 5% fee. I'm gonna go cash with him Also she told me the prices quoted for wedding stuff already has taxes built in:)

Congrats! Your pictures are beautifull...I love the flowers and the pink on your dress and the ties...really nice

Chandlyn got back to me...Jerzzygirl was right (of course) the prices quoted are with taxes in

Cool....thanks for the reply Jerzzygirl

Hi girls Just wanted to let you know Chandlyn sent me a reply to other questions i had so I sent a new email to ask her about the tax thing...but I may end up @ the wedding before i get a reply:) I'll post when i hear back from her

Hi Girls Just trying to get my budget in order...may seem like a silly question but i really didn't know:) When you pay Chandlyn, Micheal for everything you order do you pay tax on these things? Thanks

man you girls are QUICK!! thanks for the replies I will check out the info

Hi Girls Does anyone know how you would set up an evening cruise at say 9pm after wedding dinner? it would be for 10 ppl...i checked Lee's tours website but just found day trips (and 1 for friday nights only) thanks
