I love this website! Everybody is so informed and supportive. Thank you ladies so much! Alesixinjamaica I can't wait to hear your experience and see your photos! Five weeks out!

Sounds good! I'll look them up. Thank you so much! Any other suggestions ladies?

Hello all. I need a photographer at Secrets, Montego Bay. Is anybody using a photographer located in Jamaica? Who are you all using?

I have almost everything done. My dilemma is getting the fire back into my guest. Some have canceled and I'm okay with that but the family and friends that can still go are really slowful with their plans

Almost time Alexis...you ready??!!! LOL

I also booked the untimate package. I haven't had a need to add on anything but I am incorporating a few of my own ideas as far as decor and a few other minor things.

I tried it in Word first and didn't have much sucess. Powerpoint worked well for me but I guess it will depend on what area you're computer savy. LOL

They offer private weddings and receptions. If it will be just the two of you, you can get married in the private Gazebo they have that's suspended off the water and have a candlelight beach dinner for two followed by a couples massage on the beach. If you are have guest they can accomodate 2 to 150 (it may be more than 150 I'm not sure). I'm getting married there this coming September and I'm super excited. I agree w justchrissy...the off shore excusions is a great idea (a group catamaran trip to Margaritaville or a trip to the Blue Mountains). They have a ton of possibilities.

Actually you wern't. The site you sent me too were clear bags of all sizes...what I'm looking for. I have a gew purposes for these bags so this will work out as well. Thanks!!!

Great! Thanks for the info!!!

Does anyone know where I can obtain clear envelopes from that will fit the Aylee boarding pass template? I actually shrunk the template a little but I still need a clear envelope big enough for a 7 x 3.25 pass. Any help or suggestions? Oh btw...I've checked amazon and couldn't find anything.

Everything on my logs are fonts (dingbats). There are a ton of fonts out there that create pictures. I decided to use fonts instead of pictures because they are easier to resize and format. Some people have a lot success with pictures in illustrator or publisher. I don't have access to either of those so powerpoint was my friend. LOL. The flowers are a font called hibiscus and the trees are WM Trees and I have heart pictures on a font called sexy love hearts. So for me it was a matter or finding all the right fonts first. From there most of it is easy.

Yes. I created all of mine in powerpoint and added them to documents I created in Word. I say "all" mine because one I started, I couldn't stop. LOL. I have ten so far that I'm using on various documents. It's all about shapes and textboxes. What did you want to know?

I saw that deal as well!!! LOL. I sent the picture to the wedding coordinator at Delta Vacations (that's who my TA booked our deal through) and I'm waiting for her to respond. But from the looks of the pictures it looks like the ceremony is set up under the Casita of course, then the guest are moved to the left for the cocktail hour (no chairs) and during the cocktail hour they move the ceremony chairs to the reception area. If this is the case then great! I have decor for the cocktail and reception tables. I think I remember them saying the beach area where they set up has multiple locations and you should be able to pick. I was a little annoyed with the two month window because you want to plan and prep your ideas (at least in your mind...LOL) and make last minute changes to decor or anything else. I can't wait to see your pics and hear your experiences. I'll try to post everything I find out from my TA or the Delta Wedding Coordinator.

Nevermind...I figured it out in Powerpoint. If anyone else needs help, let me know. LOL

Here is the pic I have...

Does anyone know how to insert a shape, a circle, and input words around the entire shape of the circle? I know how to insert a shape and format it to reflect "no fill" but I don't know how to create a ring of words to fit inside of it. Can anyone help?

I found one pic online that shows the entire section of the Casita. From what I can tell, the coctail hour is set up right next to the Casita and I think there is sand there. But I questioned it because that pic is from when the resort first opened. I'm doing the 4:00 timeslot so my reception will be at sundown and it will be cool enough for my guest to sit outside. So yes, that's the plan. I love the bamboo arch!! I was nervous that their beach location was in the common area of the beach. Do they have a secluded beach area they use?

I'm curious as to how the setup will be. if you use the Beach Casita is the cocktail hour right next to that and is there grass there or sand? Also how far is the outdoor reception site from that?

I finally sucessfully completed mine. I can now offer my assistance. LOL

I thank you so much for your review! I’m glad in the end you and your honey were able to pull it off. I can’t wait to see the pics of your wedding. I don’t see an email address for you so I’ll just PM you and post my questions on this forum. I too am looking to get the Ultimate package the resort has to offer. I sent the coordinators a few emails but still waiting to hear back. They answered a few questions for me already but a few things weren’t clear and of course that made me leery. If you don’t mind I wanted to know your experiences on a few things concerning the package and the locations. The coordinator didn’t stay for the duration of the reception…did a manager come to you when it was time for your reception to end? How did you make the transition from your reception area? I don’t understand why the complimentary room isn’t reserved when you make your deposit or even upon check in. Did they tell you they were booked when you asked about it for the groom? Which menu choices did you pick and were you satisfied with the food? When you stated to know what we want from the photographer before the wedding meeting, were you referring to the sizes of the photos we wanted from the 50 that come with the package? The Vera Wang champagne flutes were not available for you to toast at your reception? For 30 ppl, how many tables did they allow you at the reception? The package says four but now I’m nervous that may not be true.

I'm done with my save the dates and my rsvps. I still have to print them out. I'm still doing paper research. Working on my OOT bags and kits. I don't know how realistic it is but I want to be done with everything before the new year comes in. LOL. I have some what of a low attendance too but I'm okay with that. LOL. What ideas are you working on?

Great idea...there was a bride on here a few months ago and she sold all of her items through her post. I'm sure you won't have a problem with selling. Your seven months out...I hope your ready! LOL
