Congrats and hopefully you are now enjoying happily wedded bliss! Your pictures look fantastic! Were the chairs from your ceremony the basic chairs that come with the free wedding package? You mentioned that your bouquet was free with the wedding package, did you have a lot of options to choose from?

thanks for sharing and I'll definitely be sending you a lil email!

Wow...can we come?!? Please don't share that info with our guests!

I am really not picky about the flowers that I have, I just want them pretty and am really concerned with the "free" bouquet and the ones that they charge you on the "extra" list. Thanks! Did you ever get copies of any of these photos? If you did, if you could kindly me copies it would be GREATLY appreciated! [email protected] Thanks

Another photgrapher to try is Brian Negril.

Thanks so much for posting this information all of you. This will be a BIG help for a newbie! We are trying to set up our budget and getting some of these preliminary figures for ROR is great! Helps to figure out what is crucial to the "dream wedding" and what we can cut out to save on cost. Thanks so much ladies!

Good luck with your planning. So far I have found this site to be incredibly helpful and great for getting tips/advice. We'll be in Jamaica in April 2011 for our wedding at Riu Ocho Rios.

Welcome and congrats Leah! We're getting marred at Riu Ocho Rios in April, 2011. Good luck with your planning!

Congrats and happy planning!

Congrats and happy planning! I too will be a Jamaica 2011 bride!

welcome to the forum and good luck with the planning!

Hey Yeny, This site is fantastic! It's great that we get to communicate with other brides who are also in the midst of planning their DW at ROR...looking forward to meeting some of you brides when we are all in Jamaica! I have just started my planning as well. We've booked our travel arrangements with our TA and our ceremony (beach at 4pm) with the resort, but otherwise am just getting started. I've gotten quotes from a few photographers and am now trying to figure out which one to choose...they all have pluses and minuses. This site has been great for helping me narrow down the photographer decision based on other people's reviews....we just want to make sure we find someone who is reasonably priced, available, and will provide excellent pictures. Happy Planning! Christina

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and Congratultions! Your wedding looks absolutely perfect and your review/suggestions will really help with planning over the next 8 months.

Thank you soooo much for this post JesseLyn10....you have no idea how much this calms the nerves that things are now running smoother with the new WC Antonette! As someone who is definitely a planner (wish I was one of the more "laidback brides"), it is difficult to remain calm when you receive slooooow responses from the ROR. Glad your special day went amazing!

We're coming from the same area of Ontario (only 2 hours west of Ottawa) for our wedding on April 7 at Riu Ocho Rios! Looks like we'll be there at the same time! How has the planning been for you so far? I've just started planning with the resort and any details you could share are GREATLY appreciated!
