I wish I would have seen this even a few days sooner...although I don't know if it would have mattered. Our date is booked also (2/26/12) for the Suites and pretty much only my side has booked. It's a small wedding, so there aren't that many people, but now we are also emailing and calling the rest of our guests to let them know. Looks like it'll have to be the Beach and day passes. So terrible....and frustrating since our save the dates specifically said to book ASAP. :mad:

Just a public service announcement to all the brides, make sure you have your guests book way far in advance.  My wedding is 2.11.12 and I just found out the WHOLE Suites is booked out for that weekend/week, and more than half my guests haven't booked.  In-between crying and emailing everyone we are trying to figure out where everyone is staying, I guess maybe the Beach and paying for day passes. 

 

Just letting you know so you don't have the worst day of you life like I am having....

Did you guys block out any rooms and/or put them on hold.  That is terrible.  But at least there is still room on the property.

Here is one of the pics from my friend's camera.  I promise to get my review up with pics as soon as I can...I want to answer questions while everything is fresh in my head.

She responded that 3pm was fine, and I could have it on the balcony as scheduled. Basically, the 'star friends' have something that they do at 4pm, and so they usually schedule weddings after that. So.... WHEW!!! 

 

On a side note, I'm having a marathon wedding planning/crafting weekend... woohooo! Lol.

That's such a relief, because I'm planning a 3 pm ceremony on the terrace as well.

 

And I'm a bit mad because I just found out that I can't have the disco.  I asked to book it back in July, and she said it was too early to book, but she would put me on the list.  I asked again later, no response.  Now she says the disco is booked, so I'm not impressed.  We don't have 40 people to rent out a restaurant, and doing the semi-private dinner plus disco was our way of keeping the budget down anyway (since the disco is cheaper, and includes DJ and open bar too).

 

So now I'm back to square one with planning.  I'm considering doing a beach party after the semi-private dinner, or maybe a beach BBQ.  I have a menu list for a beach BBQ, and it's $32 per person, plus I would have to pay extra for open bar and DJ, thats's really over the budget.  Plus, we were planning a welcome party on the beach, with bonfire and appetizers, so that may become redundant now.  I'm so frustrated.

 

What do you guys suggest?  Sorry I haven't been on the board much, so I'm not up to date on all the chatter lately, but I'd love to know what everyone is planning other than restaurant rental or disco.

HI Ladies,

 

I had my TTD shoot with Misha Earle 2 days after my wedding while on my honeymoon in Negril.  Another great decision because we were rested, not rushed and had more time to go to a few locations. She is awesome and so fun to work with.  Here is a one of her pics she sent me.

You could utilize the Lazy River Island or perhaps the lobby Terrace.  Just a thought, I hope everything works out for you!
