Jellyfish Restaurant

[ellie0717]

We are doing a symbolic ceremony and I'm wondering if anyone can help me out and let me know who officiates in this case?  We don't want anyone from our group doing it.  We'd prefer to have someone else as our guests won't know that we've already had a legal ceremony. Does Mayte do it and if so do you send your ceremony script down ahead or just give it to her down there and she reads it right off your paper...

Any answers, ideas or thoughts would be much appreciated!!

ellie0717 - my fiance and i plan to be legally married locally before and we would like a symbolic ceremony in the DR, when i mentioned this to Mayte she gave me the contact info for a Pastor York; i believe other brides on here have used him. i haven't gotten in touch with him yet, my fiance and i are 2 different religions so we definitely want something that isn't religion based. we are considering having a friend perform it but not sure yet. if you find out any more info, please share if you don't mind

 

to all jellyfish brides - my fiance and i would like to surprise our guests with having the wedding at the jellyfish. our plan was to pick a resort near the jellyfish and have that info in our invites and then on the day of wedding just have everyone meet 30 mins before the shuttle arrives in the lobby. then they would find out the wedding is actually off resort. has anyone else suprised their wedding guests with the jellyfish? if so, how did you do it?

 

thanks ladies!

Thank you!!

 

Here are some links to pics from my wedding:

We had a symbolic ceremony and hired Pastor York...  Although technically he is a pastor the ceremony is not religious.  He has different "scripts" to chose from and I'm sure he can even create something new for you and your fiance.

 

Mayte can help to set him up for your ceremony.  He was awesome!

There's a full thread on this forum devoted entirely to this. My ceremony script was pieced together from what I found on there... I'd post the link for you but I'm not sure how to do it from my phone. You can look on my profile and find it in my list of previous posts...

Hi ladies-

Can any past brides answer a question I have about the DJ? I think I am going to go with DJ Mannia... Is an MC included with the price they quoted or do I need to ask for this separately, or get someone from my group to MC?

thats a good question MissyBee! Can anyone who used the regular Jellyfish DJ advise if the MC was included in the regular cost?

[inloveinkorea]

My contract includes this with my quoted price:

 

 

MC

PROFESSIONAL DJ

DJ BOOTH,

SOUND SYSTEM

ROBOTIC LIGHTS

WIRELESS MICROPHONE

WHITE BALLOONS

 

I did not ask for anything special or for any add-ons. This was just the basic package.

Thanks! Was that contract from Mannia or the JF DJ?
