The $2k might be able to get you some great photos. Of course its great to have an experienced destination photographer come with you but $2k likely wouldn't work for that. thats def a thought but I just dont know any local photographers either. I have a really good friend who was going to use the "know photog" for the area and due to her fi being a total loser they canceled 3 months prior and the lady wouldnt refund any money..... so everyone has vowed to boycot her..... I might check around though on FB to see of anyone knows anyone else. I was just nervous since the WC said they are really strick about it!! ugh its my nightmare right now!!

beautiful pictures..... w/ great ideas!!! love the colored shoes!!

so what did you do?? im so stressed about it, well atleast its helping me loose some more weight....

Im so stressed about the photog for Beaches Negril, for the package I want its $2000 and they need all the money upfront (when I book) and crazy thing is they have no portfilio to show me or website etc.... Mike is just so not wanting to dish over the 2k with out anything to look at. Wea re both really concerned with the quality. And there are no outside vendors aloud and I am not taking the chance of paying someone outside and have them escorted off the property... And help out there

Where did you get the shoes?? I love them and just what I am looking for!!

thanks for all the info and help everyone.... this place is great!! kg

We are doing the 2 hour reception, but paying extra for the DJ to stay 3 hours & are having a dance floor. I am taking extra decor for the ceremony because all we have is the arch & white chairs. I am taking fushia satin chair sashes & having the resort make some decor out of bamboo sticks (7' tall) and wrapping them in ribbon so the excess ribbon will blow in the wind at the top to stake in the sand by the aisle. I am also bringing freeze dried flowers for the aisle & flower girl to throw and making program fans for each guest. Is anyone doing OOT bags? If so what are you putting in them & when do you plan on giving them out. We are doing them & so far I am putting in mugs.....and I don't know what else yet or when to give them out. We have guests coming in on Saturday & Monday. thanks so much for that info. We were planning on the sunset wedding, I actually just switched it last week, I figure I can use that money to do my own decor which i was doing anyway and it seemed like i was really paying the extra $ for the sunset. i am in the process of getting table decor and decor for the ceremony now. what did you decide to do about the photographer? I just hope that the onsite personis good quality I want great pictures I am also getting together OOT bags, I am putting in lil things like sunblock, chap stick, monogrammed koozies, packs of tylenol and i am going to leave them in the rooms. I found these really great startfish wine bottle stoppers i am putting at the tables for gifts also. Beau-coup.com has great gifts for a good $ im getting really excited how about you??

Hello I am looking to buy some table runners and napkins or organzia over lays in hot pink or fuschia. Also chair sashes. I would like to try and get them all from the same person so that they match. I am in Maryland and I am happy to pay for shipping and will pass them on to the next bride in need after October.... please pm me if you have anything you are looking to get rid of..... thanks a million!! kg

welcome.... i just recently joined and i have gotten so much info. everyone is great and full of ideas!!

So I'll try to post my answers separately below - hope this works! 1) I have to say I'm not too thrilled with their selection of flowers either, however it's not because what they offer is ugly, it's just that I have particular colors/flowers in mind. I'm assuming that they can probably get what I want for an additional charge, but I have a feeling that their additional charge is more than I want to pay. I do know that they have a "no outside vendors" policy, so I don't believe you are allowed to bring in your own florist, but I could be wrong. This is why I am leaning towards using real touch flowers and just bringing them down to Negril with me. 2) I know they have aisle runners available (for an additional charge of course!) as I have seen them in some of the pics that Amber has sent me. I don't have exact pricing though as I haven't really asked about that yet. I'm going to be doing a TTD, most likely in my actual dress so not worried about sand at this point. 3) I know they have candles and can add floral centerpieces, rose petals, different colored linens, etc - but again, everything has a price. If we do the reception I'm planning on bringing my own table decorations with me. I can buy them much more inexpensively up here and then I can probably even sell them once we get back home! 4) Beaches is now allowing outside photographers as long as they are booking a minimum of a 3 night stay at the resort. I am bringing in my own photographer as well. I don't think you should have any problems with this, except you may want to notify them of your photographer selection. 5) I can't help you on this one, other than I think I'm doing my makeup myself (with the help of a couple lessons at the MAC store). Not sure about hair yet - I have a friend who's a hairdresser and I'm hoping he'll be able to make it to my DW and can help me with my hair you are so organized and have goten so much info from Amber or someone. I am trying to post a lot so i can open your attachments!! My date is now only 2 months away and since i canceled the sinset wedding I am on my own for decor and flowers but from what Amber said they can do almost anything (at a cost!!)

wow i feel your pain, literally! i have always gotten them, i get the blurred vision, dry mouth extremely tired etc . i have been tested for my thyroid, anemia the list goes on. what i finally discovered is PMDD, and i started taking Sarafem about 4 yrs ago and it helps 1000%, yes 1000%. i saw an ad in some magazine w a questionairre and thats where i found it. its not a natural solution but it has helped me. maybe try it, you would have to see your doctor probably your OB for and get a RX

Ok so i am a bit confussed about something and its a pretty big thing: If i am getting married @ beaches negril do i have to use their photog?? Has anyone used them and how were they? Do you know if they contract it out to local photogs and can i pick which one i choose? Anyone have some advice on this?? thanks a million..... kg

i am getting married there oct 3 pretty soon after you are there. I was originally going to have the Sunset Carribean package but then last week i canceled it and moved it to 3pm. the cost for the package seemed to be adding up and up with the changes i was making. now after reading this whole thread i have realized that a lot of the decisions to be made can wait until you are there on site with the WC @ the property..... thats a releif to me. Somethings I have noticed though are if you want a particular spot @ the resort for your reception you might want to save that so no one else gets it first..... I havent been to the resort so I am not sure where I want to do things yet I guess i will decide when i get there. Sounds like they have a really great florist not to sure what to think about the photographers but im under the impression you have to use theirs with no other choice, i really hope they are good!
