Just got back.. The bar seemed to be available for the whole evening however we did not know, so for future brides, you can always get drinks. Deals weren't so hard to come by,.. and wow.... i couldn't Ask for a better wedding, went smoothly everything was beautiful, and set up was amazing!! @TracyOates The private was worth it for us, We were 31 and it was intimate and we had that privacy we wanted for our wedding... We only got centrepieces on tables, custom place cards that I brought and the coordinator placed them as I wanted, and I had added confetti and a mrs and mr sign, which I gave to the wedding coordinator and she took care of everything. You can bring whatever, and tell them how you want it and they will deliver... I wasn't deceived at all.... everything was better than I expected and amazing to say the least.

Hello future and past brides, We are getting married at the Grand Bahia this June !! Time has flown by.. and planning goes by super quickly... still trying to finish up on some stuff.. I wanted to take a minute to say, as far as planning and communication goes, the wedding coordinator, I had Tasheka, was amazing so far, she answers all my questions within 24hours, she send me additional pictures when needed or asked, she respecte price quotes!! So far planning has been a pretty good process, a little stressful because I'm so far away, but overall good. I want to mention, if any future brides ask for price quotes, keep everything!! Sometimes they make mistakes, and you get some additional things... also don't be scared to bargain. I ended up getting about 550$ less, then original prices... if not more. Send pictures, I suggest printing your own documents also, don't know how "up to date" My file will be when I arrive.. Aside from that, I was wondering if anyone booked the Pisces for dinner and dancing? If so, can someone suggest a good timeline for dinner, dances, speeches, etc.. Im having a hard time trying to decide this... All in all, good experience so far, can't wait to see what it will be like once we land in Jamaica, and to all the future brides out there, enjoy the planning process cause it goes by faster than you could ever imagine. @TracyOates I am getting married here in a month!! We have chosen to do a private dinner 1500 for the Pisces location, where we will later have our dancing also.. the open bar is an add on, however they provide wine during the 2 hour dinner service so we're only doing drinks for the dancing after (2.5 hours) I didn't try to negotiate the bar pricing, however if you calculate it for your whole group, you can mention the price being too much, and usually they offer something cheaper. You could also do like 1 hour cocktail (which costs less) and then open bar for another hour or somethin, theres always many options to this.. It took be about 4 months to actually ask all my questions and properly understand what is included, your right it is confusing, however you can send your wedding coordinator a million emails and they will answer and clarify everything, i would get a response within 24 hours or less, to everything I asked even if I sent like 4 emails in one day, I would also ask for additional pictures, her suggestions for certain things, because they know the location better than myself. The price for the private restaurant included your meal, so it'll give you a 3 course meal, from either the Dolce vita, Garden grill or a mix of both... I couldn't tell you if buffets are included, but I don't think so.. if you get private dinner you get to pick your time slot, and then you get 2 hours for the dinner and depending on the case time, 2 hours for dancing if it's completely private. You can decorate if completely private, however if you do semi private I believe they do table decorations only.. you should ask for pictures of reception locations, usually they send you an email with all the albums though.. Hope this helps !! Christine
