Hi there! My name is Michelle - I'm getting married at Grand Palladium in Jamaica, May 6th 2013! I see you're planning to do be married there too!! I joined the forum to get some insight and advice from other girls in my situation. I actually have messaged a few 2012 brides already about this stuff, but would you mind giving me your opinion on a few things ? The kinda things I'm interersted in knowing are.... - How has the resort been when dealing with you? Are they flexible? Are they negotiating with you on anything? Do you find them expensive (are they charging you for every little thing? or are the prices what you expected based on what was on the website) ? - What are the positives you've experienced so far with Grand Palladium ? - Are there any negatives or warnings you have for me about the resort ? - Who did you book for a photographer? I've seen a few online but I'm nervous to make a choice. I think photos are one of the most important parts of that special day! I found & love these three: Dean Clarke, Dwayne Watkins and SAAB weddings. They're all based in Jamaica. Then I have a couple of options that would mean I have to fly in the photographer and pay for their room/food. I'm not sure which to go with. What are you going to do? - What kind of pricing did they give you for a week stay ? (if this is too personal, you don't have to answer!!) did they give you any free rooms? They gave me pricing of $1536 per person, based on double occupancy for a week stay (May 1-8). I think that's pretty competitive... what about you? - What is your rought budget / for how many attending guests ? (again, if this is too personal, pls ignore me!! Lol) - What are you doing for hair and make up on the day of? - It looks like I'll probably be getting married at the ATTRIUM location, using the Pure Paradise package and then having a private dinner and dancing reception at the Blue Lagoon that night. We're def gonna book the steel drum band for an hour and probably a DJ as well. Ok , I'll stop rambling on. I really appreciate any advice you can give !! If it's easier to private message me - feel free to! I wish you all the best for your special day!! All the best, Michelle ~

Hey! C&C: I think the website Palladium Addicts will have spa pricing and a resort map that you can download. Or just google for the map and it will appear in the IMAGES results. That's how I found it ! What is the $185 package you mentioned? is it the cost of wedding hair and makeup together? or just nails? Breathenagain22: Love your OOT bag ideas. How much did you pay for the 12 oz personalized cups? Do they have lids on them? are they reusable? Plastic? Glass? Stainless? Etc? I really wanna do something like this for my guests too. If you could send me the supplier contact info -I'd be so thankful! Hope your June weddings are beautiful! Congrats Michelle~

hi everyone! My name is Michelle and I'm from Toronto. My fiance and I are looking at getting married at Grand Palladium Jamaica - but MAY 2013 , not 12 I'm in the midst of pricing it out , but it looks like $1700 per person (all in for a week, with flight & taxes included) based on a double occupancy Jr Suite room. But I see Alysia85 got a better rate. Alysia85: How many people is that group quote based on? is it including all the things my quote included? does it include round trip transfers to the airport as well? Any details you may have, could really help me get a better rate for my guests. Which is my main focus right now! Can't wait to get chatting with some of you brides out there - I have a lot of questions and could use the advice!! Michelle11~
