I had the most amazing time at Secrets from start to finish everything was amazing. The wedding team are amazing once you are on the property you must remember they are performing weddings daily. We had 70 people attend our wedding and all stayed on the property and loved every moment of it. I have tons of pictures and will answer any question just send me a message.

Pros: Lots of activities, Food, Great Location, Good for Groups
Cons: NONE
We had our wedding on Thanksgiving Day 2015 at Secrets Wild Orchid resort. We had 25 guests in our group ranging from 27 - 64 years old. Our group included single men and women as well as couples. Let me just say that EVERYONE had a WONDERFUL, FUN time!! There was always something going on at one of the pools, singing at the buffet restaurant, interactive evening entertainment and can't forget the night disco and late night restaurant offering a good variety of foods and not just snacks.

Pros: Beautiful resort, beaches, wedding site
Cons: Communication with the wedding coordinators
I just had my wedding at Secrets earlier this month. Our ceremony was at Barracuda Beach and the St. James ballroom. Originally we wanted to have the cocktail hour and reception at Barracuda beach but changed it the beach front casita area and ultimately decided on the ballroom. I thought it would be a great idea to have everything on the beach, but after realizing that there would be no real separation of the space between the ceremony and reception I changed it to the beach front casita area.

We hosted a beach wedding at Secrets Wild Orchid Barracuda Beach on April 27, 2015. We chose Secrets after creating a spreadsheet of all the Jamaican resorts vrs. our needs and chose Wild Orchid because it looked beautiful, had a sand beach for our "toes in the sand" theme and offered so many activities for our varied guest list. Then I spent 6+ months reading every TripAdvisor review and Q&A, and tons of organic searches on the web for comments. So we knew what to expect from the resort.

Pros: Beautiful scenery, everything is done for you, amazing wedding and vacation
Cons: Planning process is difficult at times
My new hubby and I just got married at Secrets Wild Orchid on November 17 2014.
Everything turned our perfectly and beautiful. I thought I'd share some details to help out future brides!
PLANNING PROCESS:
Not going to lie, it was extremely frustrating at times planning everything with the resort wedding department via email. There was often miscommunication about things, and some misunderstandings. I did email them pictures of everything I wanted (bouquet, cake, decorations etc), and for th

Pros: Staff, Food, Drinks, Professionalism,
Cons: Spa is on the opposite side of Wild Orchid, not really a big deal
My husband and I went to this resort for our destination wedding. We were married December 7, 2013. I was a little nervous since there were not many reviews for the resort on this website. I was nervous about the food, set up, hair, make up, photographer, videographer, pretty much everything. Ladies, do not worry! They will take good care of you and help make the best wedding and best day of your life! Simone and Rocio were great. I e-mailed with them a few months before our arrival. They were v

Pros: food, staff's attentiveness & kindness, room accommodations, activities, wedding package, romance
Cons: expensive "extras" for wedding, night life
We just got married at Secrets St. James July 13, 2013. It was everything I hoped it would be. The wedding was beautiful. We were a little nervous about the weather because the previous days it rained. However, even though it was a bit hot the sun was out shining. We had 50 people and got the Ultimate Secrets Package. However, as you will read I’m a bride on a budget and was unwilling to pay for hardly any upgrades, so I brought my own decorations and made my own centerpieces.

Pros: Brand new and beautiful
Cons: Brand new
Secrets is beautiful, I went there for my bday/anniversary in April. Everything was brand new at the time. The service was exceptional and the beach was spectacular. At the time, there were not many activities because it was only open for a week, but it was great.
