May 2011 Brides!

[eholt]

I am getting married in Jamaica on May 19, 2011. I have secured a date, gotten my dress, ordered STD's (they were shipped today). How early is too early to book a photographer?

no problem =)
we booked Nora Bohanon she's one on the vendors on this forum. You can see her schedule and recent weddings she's shot on her blog. i think she was at your resort earlier this year.

how did dress shopping go?

Thanks Rose!! Dress shopping went really well! I found 3 dresses that I love... so I am going to take my girlfriends out with me and help me narrow it down! I'll keep you posted on which one I choose!

Wow.. you sound well prepared!
I don't think it can ever be too early to book your photographer! If you find one you love I'd book them!!

I don't think there are rules for DWs.

I have my photographer booked already (for my May 2nd wedding) because I wanted to get someone I really liked. On the other hand I have no dress, and SVD's SHOULD be sent out by next week.

Hey ladies:

 

Got my contract via email today for Playacar Palace in Riviera Maya and I was told that the onsite coordinator would not be contacting me until 30 days prior to the wedding date!! That seems a little crazy to me and since some of you already started planning for 2011 I was wondering if this is common for most resorts or if I should switch asap? any thoughts?

@ normamichelle, mine told me the same thing. I think yuo contact your vendor (florist, photographer, etc) and reserve them and then your WC @ the resort simply brings everything together in terms of location, reception reservation, etc. I am still a little iffy about 1 month though. part of says it will be ok since they do this every single day! IDK...

Hi everyone! I am a May 6, 2011 bride, getting married at Now Jade Riviera Cancun. I thought I was on top of things by getting the resort booked but after reading this thread I see I'm way behind! I can't believe some of you have your dress and have even written the ceremony already.
