Me! we're booking this week for April 2014!

btw I'm new here 

ive heard on other websites and forum that it can take a few weeks to get a response from them which can be frustrating although this is supposed to be because they spend a lot time with you while you are thee to make sure everything is perfect I suppose I can live with that ha. Have you any ides yet in date location etc? oohh and big congratulations xx

We just spoke to our travel agent yesterday and we're going from April 5-12 2014. Wedding date set for April 7, but I haven't spoke to the coordinator there yet.

I'm wondering what the private dinner reception prices are like. I heard it includes a dinner in the a la carte restaurants but it isn't private

Congrats to you both!!  The only planning that I have done is to determine what resort I wanted the wedding to be held at.  My fiance and I travel to a resort in Negril yearly so having the wedding in Jamaica was a no brainer for us.  What I didn't expect to be so hard was trying to narrow it down to one resort. It seems like everyone I looked at there were pros and cons.. I really wanted to be married in Negril on the beach at Bloody Bay and needed to find someplace that was not "couples only".  Our adult kids will be coming along as well as nieces and nephews. My top choice was the Riu Tropical Bay in Negril but it can get pretty expensive and I did not like the backup location if it happened to rain,however the beach (Bloody Bay) is amazing!  The Lady Hamilton is so much better for our budget as I'm sure we will need to assist the kids with the travel expenses. We can also book a Honeymoon Suite for much less than the standard room at the Riu. The big downside is the beach is nowhere near as pretty as it is in Negril.  I have picked the Lady Hamilton because I could see myself getting married at any of the locations they provide. Even if it happened to rain the backup location at the spa looks beautiful!  Right now I am thinking of choosing the gazebo overlooking the ocean as my location. I can't wait to hear back from them regarding our date.  I know that it's going to be a pretty popular date (12-13-14) so that is why I am trying to reserve it so far in advance.

I've been waiting to book, it's so tough trying to decide! I have 3 places narrowed down, and this is one of them. I didn't think anyone would be booking for 2014 yet!!! Now I feel like I'm behind...

its mad how you think you are doing well and then come on here to see people did things a while ago we are very much restricted at the moment to the w/c and our travel agent once our date and time have been confirmed then i will relax a little I think. MJCF i will be there on the 7th if you end up having your wedding there oohh exciting xx

Mrs P, that is when I will relax as well!  Good luck with the rest of your planning
