  1. We're at the Grand in December and quickly figuring out they get you on everything. Crazy the costs to have an open bar at an all inclusive and yes the chairs and other costs keep adding up.
  2. We're booked for Dec 2013, and just after booking the prices changed. They appear to have slightly changed their business model, so particular items went up other went down. It stayed fairly similar for me but it's a little troublesome how they feel free to change on a whim, who knows what it will be when it is actually time to pay. Haven't signed anything yet.
  3. We've gone through our budget for ~80 people at a nice Jamaican resort and I'm actually quite shocked at the cost. Just for key wedding items, not the dress, travel, rings, gifts for guests, etc. we're at ~$25,000 USD. I'm shocked how much we have to pay for booze and food at an all inclusive, where otherwise the guests that we are bringing to the resort would be eating and drinking anyway. We also have to rent the dining room for the dinner reception. I understand there is cost in barternders and servers + markup, but it's way more expensive than I thought! $3K coctail party $8K dinner $3K open bar (wine and beer is included), so it's $3k regardless how much hard liquor is consumed $3K basic ceremony (per person charge of $20 above 2 people) $1500 music for reception, dj for dinner/ dancing flowers? photos? etc. It's really not much cheaper than doing it at home for 80 people, and a lot of restrictions.
