Soontobe Mrs201

I have less than one year until our big day. I am superexcited that all is planned set and ready to go (including our guest But I am still a bit nervous. My planner is OMG Great (Elite Upscale Weddings Negril) but I almost feel like that is the problem. They have taken care of everything, kept me in the loop with updates ( hell our travel and accomidations have been take care of by them including payments and updates on our guest payments for accomidations). But for some reason I cant help but feel like there is something I should be doing. I panicked and started to rethink my colors and decorations and now I am wondering if I am only doing this to sabatoge myself. HELP DOES ANY ONE ELSE HAVE THIS FEELING,. My fiance is great and extremly patient I just feeling like I am in wedding Limbo. Maybe I should have just jumped out there in DYI Destination Wedding Fantasy Land and I would still have so much planning to do my complaint wouldnt be this. Please give me some feed back. Thnx

Yes but that seems to be the case with most Jamaican Vendors.

Hi Candii I am getting married in Negril as well. I am using Elite Upscale Weddings in Negril. They have some outstanding people who work there and a huge variety of decorations dresses and so much trendy stuff. I was really impressed because there is not alot of variety in Jamaica it self. . There store is on the main Beach Road next to Rooms / Alfreds. Try them I hope you like them as much as I do so far.

HELP

Thank you so muc. I did look at her cakes and if they taste as good as they look IM SOLD.

Omg I love this site. I was sooo lost until I found this site. I am so excited and prepared for our wedding! Thanks Ladies hopefully I can be of some help.

Ladies beware of fake posts. I did sign on with Elite Upscale Weddings while my fiance and I were in Negril. I did decide to use all of their vendors (with the exception of the baker. I am still unsure about the cake there). I mentioned this post and I was immediatly told by their manager that she would like for me to speak with their Owner Jai. She was very nice and apologized for this post and advised me that this post was made by a disgruntled photographer (Notice this is the only post she made and hasnt made oone since. Also she has a zenofolio photogrpaher website...hmmmm) Well I was assured that Elite Upscale has NEVER done photography. All of their work is sent over to Sun Gold, CC Daniels Mischa Earle or Stacy Clark (established photo journalist). I was in panic about planning our wedding. No one was returning my calls and that is the reason my fiance and I returned to jamaica on this mini vacation. Well when people like this post fake reviews it is not only misleading it is Malicious to Brides like myself dont really know what to think or which way to turn. I am thankful for all of the help I have gotten from this forum and other brides. While in Jamaica I will tell you honestly Elite Upscale was phenominal their location has everything you need for your wedding and they are the ONLY Bridal Boutique in all of Negril I was very impressed with their work (Lots of Photo Albums in their Store of Their Actual Weddings). The first day I was their they made an appointment for the next day for us to meet our vendors< Nice So thats it I will post another post with my pictures of how everything went. And I will be uncut uncensored and HONEST

Ok so thankfully my Fiance and I spent Christmas in Jamaica (I panicked after I got no responses from GPLH resort on my several wedding inquiries and I found the perfect Wedding Planner, location Stylist ect. But this is my delima. I hate Jamaican Wedding Cake. This stuff is like a Black Fruit Rum cake. Do you ladies have any ideas? What do you think about me taking in my own Wedding Cake? please give me your input or if any of you know of any Bakers in Jamaica? Thanks Sign Not Gaining any weight on THAT cake

In Dec 2011 I and my Fiance visited Elite Upscale Weddings location and they were very friendly and professional. I was to get all of my vendors booked while we were in Jamaica. I mentioned to the manager I still needed a photographer and was told that they do not do pictures that they send every one to Sun Gold or 3 of thier Independant photographers <Micha Earle, Catina Bryant or Stacy Clark> I mentioned that this post was up about their work being Terrible. The manager called the owner and she apologized about this and went on to explain that Tara 956 is actually a photographer and this was a fake post < I did notice this is the only post she has>. She then recommended that I look at Tara 956 <zenofolio . com> and Sun Golds websites and see who I would like to work with. NEEDLESS to say I booked Sun Gold $1575. Now Listen, It is hard enough that us DW Brides are dealing with the uncertainty of resorts not returning our calls and planners who are involved in the Wedding Mills and all of the reviews of being rushed along. With people like this who post fake malicious ads it makes it even worse. I think it is unprofessional and down right silly. I checked alot of sites and here is a list of MY Top 5 Picks. All of my reviews are based on wat I saw not malicious ignorance. Top 5 Location Mirage Inn, Moon Dance, The Caves Rock House, The Palms. Photographers The Afore Mentioned and Marcia R. Tropical Visions, Planners "Hands Down" Elite Upscale Weddings and Arie at Negril Escape both of these planners returned my calls and I SAW THEIR WORK awesome. Hair Stylist and Make Up Queen Bee Debra Barrett. If you need any more authentic information send me an email. I am glad to help. I am so disappointed at Tara <Bad Picture Taker:(

I am getting Married at Mirage Inn in Negril. The ladies at Elite Uppscale Weddings are Planning our wedding. While visiting their store in Ochie Rios I looked through their Wedding Pictures <Very Nice> I was told they do NOT do photogrpahy and that they never have. So I mentioned the post by Tara 956 and was told that she is NOT a bride but she is a photographer who they chose not to do business with. She is an amateure photographer and she has been giving them poor reviews on photography lol which they do not do. The owner said that they only sub out their Photography to Sungold, Misha Earle or Catina Bryant of CC Daniels. When planning a DW it is difficult enough with the resorts not returning our calls and "Shaddy" vendors in Jamaica. With fake reviews like the one she posted I think it wrong and not appreciated by nervous brides such as my self. BTW: I did great good service from Elite Upscale and they refered me to Queen Bee Bridal Hair and Make Up. Both were very friendly. Hope this helps more than this old Negative Fake Review
