I guess it all depends on what your cake budget is. Try getting quotes from outside vendors and then go from there. Id also like to know what the prices are.....

Whats the Seagrape? Can you tell Im new to the boards? LOL! Im also considering the Riu and would like to know what the options are. Is that for the semi private?

This was really a shock to me, I knew he was ill, but I never thought it was that serious. Just remember to tell the ones in your life that mean something to you exactly how you feel.

So it seems like everyone is booking at the Riu in Ocho Rios, but is anyone using the locals in Negril or Montego Bay? Thanks ladies! Which Riu: Wedding Date: Strongest competitor(other resort): Deciding factor:

Thanks ladies! We're planning to get married in the evening in Jamaica so I hope that it wont be too hot. I do love this dress and thanks so much for the support ladies, this forum is great! Its not heavy at all and I dont plan to wear a crinny, so I should be fine, thanks again!

Hi ladies! So, I bought my dress when we were planning a traditional wedding here in Indiana, and have since then decided on a D W instead. Question is, will this be to formal for that? Im not planning to get married on the beach, but more likely a garden gazebo, or another local at the resort. Heres the dress, what do you think? FYI: I would sell it and find something else, but I love my dress!

Absolutey amazing! I love it, so couture!

Realx dear! Theres more to that moment than the dress...that moment is about laying eyes on you and seeing you as his wife, besides, Im sure in that pic you didnt look half as beautiful as you will on your wedding day!

Greece sounds so romantic! Congrats and I cant wait to see the pictures!

Welcome and happy planning!

Both very pretty but I love the second dress best!

Great review! So did you use the photog at the resort or travel with one?

Congrats! Rosehall is on my short list of resorts. Just a few questions, what was the deciding factor for your decison? Also, whats the deposit? Last, do they allow outside photography?

Thanks! My biggest challenges are booking the location and finding a photographer, any suggestions are welcome!

Hi ladies! My name is Monique and I am brand spanking new to the destination wedding set! My fiancee and I were originally planning a traditional wedding for our 250 closest friends in Northwest Indiana, and then reality set in...reality being the budget. We then decided to make the wedding more about us and here we are, Jamaica bound with dreams for a beautiful wedding in Negril Jamaica. The wedding date is tentative right now until we book, but the original date was June 6th 2009 and we hope to keep that same date. I look forward to planning with you in the near future, thanks!
