I think the issue is that Brian is a Jamaican (well, not Jamaican, but he lives in Jamaica) and therefor I can just see Michael giving us a hard time (he prob. knows all the photogs in Jamaica). So I cant get away with the "guest of mine" and I don't want to pay for him to spend 3 nights there, so the $200 is honestly worth it for the pics!!

I agree. After you posted about Brian on here a few months ago, I looked at his stuff and its amazing. My FI and mom are in complete agreement and really like him as well. I think at this poing I'm going to pay the fee just to keep him away from me!!

AlmostMrsForbes: You are using Brian right? Did they tell you that you have to pay a breach of contract fee? I really like his work and am looking forward to using him. Let me know how it all goes!

Congrats! Beautiful pics! I esp. love the ones by the fence!

Ooh thats kinda scary. He has no right to do that.

Thank you so much for these! I have been waiting for them!

Has anyone used Brian Nejedly out of Jamaica?

Congrats Heidi!! You looked so beautiful! I'm glad everything went well and I can't wait to read the reviews and of course see more pics!

W-Too is pretty in-line with the usual $150-$200. My BMs didn't bat a lash when they saw those prices.

Marsha...I'm so glad everything is coming together for you so quickly! I think you made the right choice with the pond gazebo. It works for you! Everything is going to look so elegant. Can't wait to see your pics and read your review!!

Thanks for the info!

I think its just kinda served buffet style, so you would be able to choose from all of the menu items (all are included)

Thanks and congrats. Everyone looked so beautiful! Loved the Bm dresses! I agree they are so wearable!

ooh every thing looked so beautiful! What a pretty bride! I have the same questions as twelve piece so ill just let you answer hers!

You're welcome. I'm sure the menus are also avaiable for the 2008 brides as well. The price might actually be a little less. Just to give you an idea of your options

Hi All, Wanted to update this with the most recent information that I have. I know its scattered but these are the 2009 prices and the info for it. Here are the attachments for: BBQ Menu Pool & Beach ($55) Buffet ($25) Buffet ($35) Plantation Jamaican Special Menu BBQ Menu -Pool & Beach.doc BUFFET MENU 35 US$.doc Bufffet 3 25 US.doc Menu for Plantation.doc jamaican special menu.doc

Hey all, I was just send the menu for the beach/pool reception. From what I understand for 2009 its $55 pp and includes open bar. Its a BBQ menu but I was told this can be changed. I will try to post it. I also have the plantation menus and some buffet menus if you need them BBQ Menu -Pool & Beach.doc

I know they are on here somewhere in a few threads. I would search Plantation Menus up in the search function and you will find lots of info!

I just try to contact her about a lot of stuff at once, but booking the wedding was stressful so I called her a lot. I would just call yours and have them help you with all of that.

I had my TA put a request in for me for the date/time that I wanted & at that time I also booked my room...as soon as I received confirmation of the wedding with the confirm number, I had to go back on the RIU website, put that number in to solidify everything, and then I received a receipt a few days later. To lock in your date and time, you have to have your room booked, or else they will release your date and time within I think 2-3 months.

Their invites are so nice! Does anyone know their general price range?

The beach or poolside I believe is $50 per person flat. Plus I think for open bar its an additional $10 per person. Is that what you were wondering?
