Hi Ladies

I am getting married April 28th and have not receveid any info since the WC change all the time.(Same week as you Jenn) Can you send me the flower catalog as well or anything you think may help me!!

Thanks in advanced! [email protected].

Jenn have you confirmed with NINA your wedding date and time? I have not heard back from her I try to confirm it each time WC changes. Did you book your photographer yet? I ended up booking with Sun gold in Jamaica!!

Thank you!

Lisa

Hi Lisa! I'm getting married about a month after you on May 31st. I tried to re-confirm my date, time, and reception time after I heard of the WC change too... Sent the email last Friday and still haven't heard anything back. I guess I'm not too worried since it's so far off and I have all of the confirmations from Julian. But geez...

Does anyone know if there is going to be another new WC or if Nina is (relatively) permanent?

jh17,

Thanks again for passing along all your info to the rest of us. Question, did you or your guests leave the resort much during your stay? If so, did folks venture to Montego Bay or Negril? Is it really about 45mins to get to either place?

A small group left the resort the day after the wedding to go to Negril (to the beach, shopping, Ricks Cafe, etc.). The last day everyone was there 15 of us did the same trip to Negril which was amazing. I think it was only about 30 mins to Negril (I could be wrong but I think Negril is a little closer than Montego Bay). Some people (including my parents and my fis parents) didn't leave the resort at all.
Six of my relatives ended up at Ibersostar before they were transfered to the Palladium (long story) and they took a cab into Montego Bay. They were just dropped off and they were all pretty nervous (some guys noticed their bracelets, said he worked at their hotel and tried to lead them down some alley). When we went to Negril we used a driver (Cecil) who my friend's brother had met when he was in Jamaica in February. He was fantastic and stayed with us the whole time-I felt completely safe. If anyone wants his phone number just message me. I have already talked to him since I have been home and he is one of the biggest reasons I want to return to Jamaica.

Can you guys tell me, did GP provide a discount for booking multiple rooms? I know some resorts offer like 10% off if you book 10 or whatever rooms.

We got no discount from Grand Palladium for booking multiple rooms.

Last week I received an email from Lori saying the day I wanted was still available. I have been trying to secure this date by signing a contract or at least putting down a deposit but I can not reach Lori or Nina again (I've tried phone and email). How were you girls able to secure your wedding date? What specifically did you do?

JuliaGoolia03 · November 19, 2009

I was able to secure my wedding date a few months ago (and then reconfirmed once they switched WCs). Julian sent me a wedding request form that I filled out and gave them credit card info for the $300 deposit. From my understanding, it's the $300 and that form that secure your date. Its at the end of that long brochure-thing called Palladium Weddings Jamaica.

I'll try to post the link here. It's also posted on the website for the hotel...

Also, I just got an email from Lori about 10 minutes ago, so maybe she's sitting down at her computer now and you'll hear from her soon!
