2010bride

Jonesr and TaniB, You can check out some pics on her website jamaicanphotography.com. I did the free package so there isn't much decor at the ceremony site but an arch with flowers. It was a lovely arch I must say : ). We decided to go with the free ceremony since we were paying per person for the reception. The extra several hundred dollars to put a couple of flowers around wasn't worth it to us at the time. However, I saw a ceremony that was set up there as well that had flowers and it looked absolutely beautiful.

The pricing is beyond reasonable and she does not do time slots so that she can capture every moment. And that she did. We received everything so quickly. Our package included two disc over 700 photos, 2 photo montage disc and 2 video's. We also order two coffee table albums. All of this was less than $2000. You are not going to get a better deal and you are not short changing yourself at all. When we received everything, we teared up as we saw how beautiful everything was. She definitely added to our joy. I meant over 1900 pics, I have so many to choose from

I used Marcia Roberts for my wedding at RMB. She was amazing. Definitely a no brainer if you ask me. Best pricing, fast email and returns phone calls within hours sometimes minutes, very professional, a pleasure to work with, no time slot so you have her all day to capture every moment, fast delivery of pics, a fantastic package etc.......Her website is jamaicanphotography.com

My FI and I are budgeting ~$1700 for photography and videography services. Also, does anyone recommend a great florist? Especially a florist who can also create bouquets made out of "real touch" or "silk" flowers? I am getting married at RMB at the Plaza Gazebo. Thank you in advance!!! Marcia Roberts is who I used and I got married at the RMB at the Plaza Gazebo as well. We also had a beach reception. Absolutely beautiful and she does amazing work. She works with your budget because she loves what she does. Her website is jamaicanphotography.com. Check out her work and give her a call or send an email. She responds almost immediately.

I have nothing but good things to say about Marcia. From her excellent prices to her professionalism. Here and her crew were there from when I was getting my hair down all the way to the reception. Everyone loved her because she was so sweet and captured every moment. Definately worth the money (which isn't alot for what you get I must add). Fast delivery and beautiful pics. What more can you ask for.

Perplexy, I am getting married at RMB in less than three weeks. I can't wait for you to post your review and pics.

I am using floral fantasy and they have been more then attentive to me. They respond almost immediately to emails and the pricing was so reasonable and negotiable ; ).

Thanks Sarahkay20 for the words of encouragement. Because I have not been have such a great experience with Nekeisha so far. She takes about 4-5 days to respond to an email and when she does she never answers the question. I am very nervous about this. I also called the resort and the phone just kept on ringing. What should I do?

That is so unfortunate. Coincidentally, I went to a wedding that was held there on April 10. The grounds were beautiful and so was the ceremony. The biggest gripe I along with the rest of the guests had with them is that there customer service sucks.

Sita&Nate, We too are using the escort cards as thank you cards as well. Actually our "escort cards" are actually message in a bottles and the message in the bottle will be a thank you scroll. I was second guessing doing the thanks you's this way as many people say it should be personalized.But I think it is a cute touch that would be appreciated by my guests, Thoughts? Do thank you's have to be personalized?

I got a response from Nekeisha about the status of Sherika's whereabouts. Nekeisha said that she is the wedding coordinator for now because Sherika is out on maternity leave.

The same thing here. I received a response back from Nekeisha as well. When I asked if Sherika was still there and if she was the new coordinator, she did not respond. My wedding is in June. What to do?

Hey Blumenthale, Do you mind providing the baker who you are going to use information? The prices I have been receiving for cakes are ridiculous and as we all know the vendor fee is very high.

nic&mark, I am so happy you started this thread. I was wondering about the rest of us as well. There are a billion threads abour ROR but not much for RMB. Though Geralyn's thread was very informative. I also wish that there ws more info on vendors for from mb and set ups of those who did the beach reception. Congrats to all who has a wedding soon. Mine is in 53 days. woooo hooo.
