Purolator was much cheaper than UPS, I paid $64 I think for ours to be sent. I'm in Ontario. Is anyone else getting married April 11th???

I'm getting married there 2 days later!! Love the shoes!!!

April 11th for us! Gran Bahia Principe Jamaica in Runaway Bay

Gran Bahia Principe Runaway Bay and Jamaica are the same resort.... They have the Don Pueblo collection, which is the higher end rooms with Butler etc... It's on the far end of the resort. We are at the Gran bahia, not the don pueblo side.

I've just scanned and emailed our documents. All the paperwork says to fax the documents and paperwork. I've only heard from one planner saying to courier them in. What if they lose them? They already seem very disorganized, having to change my time already after 2 confirmation emails. Are you sure he's not there? His facebook says he is

Call the resort if you're not getting any answer

How much is it to rent the gazebo after?

Has anyone gotten married on the beach?

Runaway Bay

Yes I also found out they gave my spot away. We are now getting married at 5:30 instead of noon. Even though I had 2 confirmation emails from June, they still gave it away. Just because you have confirmation emails, don't think it's confirmed! Call the resort and confirm and reconfirm!

Confirm and reconfirm your date and time!!! We are getting married April 11, 2014, and I called today and they didn't even have us on the calendar. I have 2 emails confirming that we were getting married at noon on April 11th, and now the time has changed to 5:30pm. I can't believe that after 2 confirmation emails, they still screwed it up.

I've been to Mexico 3 times, twice for weddings. I was in Jamaica this past March and I love it. Even the Dominican was so much nicer than Mexico. You can find a resort anywhere in any type of budget. I found 5 stars in Mexico were not as nice as the 4.5 star we stayed at in the Dominican. And the resort I stayed at in Jamaica was a 5 star. And we went to Jamaica for 1300 per person, and Mexico was 1700 and up for where we stayed.

I am April 11th at the Gran Bahia Principe

yes, the blood tests required in mexico would do it for me!!!! Yuck! A friend of mine got married in Mexico, and it looked like they brought the gardener in to take their blood! No thank you!
