Hi Jenn

 

The wedding coordinator, at the meeting asks you what you want them to play when you walk down the isle etc. You can tell them exactly what you want. They were there before the ceremony, during and after- I would say 1 hour or so. They are great and people loved them.

 

The steel drum band was included with my package

[Stay cee1]

Hello past and future brides...

I've just returned from our 12 days trip...our wedding was glorious!!  I will post my review in a day or 2...we just got home last night and trying to unpack before returning to work tomorrow.

I have loads of answers to some of your questions...the one thing i will say now is the wedding planners and team are amazing.  Once you meet Donnalee you will understand that she is very effective and thorough.

[vanessa08]

Hi Candice,

my wedding was a week after yours and I still have not received my marriage certificate yet .. have you received yours yet??

I have emailed both Chandlyn and Donnalee and have had no replies

[dutchess]

Started buying stuff for my welcome bags! Good thing I have 2 kids that won't be bringing a lot of stuff cause I think I'm gonna need there luggage space! LOL Still waiting on my phone call from David's bridal to pick up my dress

[JennyO]

So I just recieved an email from Kalfani stating my wedding ceremony was at 4:00pm (when is should be at 11:00am) and I almost died!!

 

I just called the resort (because waiting for an email reply would take another two weeks) and talked to Vinnette (who is awesome) and she clarified my ceremony time is at 11:00am

It was a confusion with another Jennifer getting married Nov 5th 2013, her ceremony is 4:00pm

 

Jennifer, are you a part of this blog? I would love to chat lol

 

I can't believe how easy it was to call her and have everthing taken care of in 20 minutes.

Flowers, cake, dinner and ceremony all booked!!

Sooo happy with there customer service....especially when she says "ya mon" lol !!
