April 2012 at GPLH in JAmaica?

Ive been trying to find a new section for us brides going to the Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton in Jamaica... but ive found everything but, or they were older, so I thought why not make a new section for us brides to share ideas, worries, stresses lol and everything in between so lets get going ladies.

Here is some info on us

tag name here: canadiangirl

names: leigh and Mike

date: april 14th 2012

resort: GPLH

There's actually 2 new threads for Grand Palladium Jamaica and Lady Hamilton with lots of information.  Both have the resorts name in the title, one has "2011" in the title and the other has "fees" in the title.

I was married at the GPLH on Saturday June 25th, 2011.  The wedding ceremony was absolutely beautiful.  The problem I had was trying to get in contact with the resort wedding coordinator and the photographer who has a location on the premises inside the gift shop.  It wrecked my nerves that neither had reached out to me to confirm anything and I had to hunt for them.  I was disappointed that my ride to the ceremony location never came and I ended up walking with my mother and uncle (my escorts) but I did not let that ruin my mood.

beautiful wedding site, thanx for the pics. And im glad your day went well.....and thanx for the input on the W/C ill be making sure this doesnt happen to us, i think my FI would loose it lol lol

Hi Canadiangirl,

My date is set for 06/09/2012.  I have been in contact with Simone at the hotel and she has been awesome...  I had a million questions and she answered them all -- most times within 24 hours.  We went there on vacation last year, and the resort is beautiful.  We are planning to have a private reception at Blue Lagoon... I'm still waiting on the menu.  She said it was being revised.  We are a bit far out for menu, but I'm curious to know our options. Happy planning:-)

congrats on the wedding day!!!! we too are doing the private reception at the blue lagoon, i think its the only way to go...this way i can get all my personal touches in on the decorations and what not. As far as the menu goes, i know I was told November they would be out....however, i do have the buffet menus if you want to look at them.

In your other post you mentioned a credit for the florist????!!!!!!!!!!!! What credit is this? ive never heard anything about a credit.....TELL ME MORE!!!!!!! lol thank you

Canadiangirl,

FYI -- I have been in contact with Sandy at Tai Flora. She sent me me several brochures... They give you credit for the items included in your package.  For example my package (dendrobium - renewal package)  includeds the bride's bouquet and groom's boutonniere, a centerpiece and 2 tropical arrangements.  I also need about 8 reception centerpieces, 3 BM bouq, 2 corsages, and 4 additional bouts.  I will get "credit" for what's included in my package.   They send you a brochure with the available choices -- you get credit for what's included and anything else is extra.  They have 164 bouquets to choose from and there is also a plethora of choice for recpetion decor, etc.  I can email you the information she sent me if you like (4 pdf docs).
