  1. Hi, Most ministers usually charge between US$300 and US$350 to do everything and to send the marriage certificates to you after your wedding ceremony. Certificates usually take a max of 6 weeks to be prepared.
  2. August is extremely hot and also risky as its hurricane season but we have weddings year round and during hurricane season. You have to decide if you want to take that chance. October, November and December are cooler months but we do get some rain but not as much as Mayand early June, it usually doesnt last long but as you know we can't predict. Just have a back up plan in place if it rains. But in the summer months you get better rates at the hotels than during or closer to winter season.
  3. Hi, You have Iberostar, RIU Resorts (Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, Negril) Beaches, Grand Pallidium are all good choices. If you are on a serious budget there is also Holiday Inn, the rooms aren't great but the food is good and its easy on the pocket and they have a nice beach gazebo which I have used for weddings before. Happy planning and all the best.
  4. Hi, Natalie is no longer there. The new coordinator there that I have been working with for the last few months for a clients wedding there next week is Glendon. If you have international call time call 876 -633-9900 and ask for the weddings office then him. Take care and all the best.
  5. For photographers you can also check out Michael Saab, Sungold, Misha Earle and Marcia Roberts they are always good choices.
  6. Hi, I wanted to say all the best to all the 2011 brides and thanks for choosing Jamaica as your wedding destination.
  7. Hi, Â We work with Devon Shaw of www.jamaicaweddingphotos.com alot and he is one vendor that I know will be there and on time. I dont have to worry about Devon when coordinating an event. Â Most times or at least all the times we have worked with him he is there at least 30 minutes to an hour before the wedding starts. Alot of the pictures in my event portfolio found at www.helengevents.com are from him as we do use him alot because his prices are reasonable and you also get the quality.
  8. Hi, I have worked with them alot and they are really good. But you have to know what your budget is for photography as their packages start at over US$1900.00

  10. Hi, Just to let everyone know that most business places downtown Kingston was open on Friday. The courts and alot of banks and companies were open downtown. I drove downtown and was able to conduct business and had no problem. From Thursday the situation has been under control and I have gone to most areas in Kingston and Spanish Town without any problems at all and the tourist areas are definately not affected. It seems business as usual as if nothing happened. Everyone moved about freely except for in the troubled areas and I even drove pass one the barricades to get where I was going on Marcus Garvey Drive and no problem.
  11. Hi, May I make a suggestion, you can get a cake vendor from Montego Bay to deliver the cake as it is nearby and the delivery charge may equal the same for the prices of her cakes or maybe even less or another suggestion is since you are all staying at hotels and most large hotels have good pastry chefs who could do it in an around about way and find out who he or she is and see if you can work out something privately. They do alot of private work and alot of the hotel staff know each other well and will tell you if the person is good or not. If you have friends in Jamaica you can ask them to call and check for you. But personally when I have events I bring cakes in from elsewhere.
