Anyone having their wedding at Sandals or Beaches in Sept, Oct or Nov 2010?

I'm having major issues!!! My fiance and I booked our wedding at Beaches in Ocho Rios Jamaica Nov 2010.

 

I was informed last week by the lady booking our rooms that the resort will be undergoing renovations in Sept, Oct and Dec, so our wedding will be moved to Negril.

 

I haven't received any calls/letters regarding the change from management , so I went ahead and called my wedding consultant regarding this. She spoke to the operation dept of Beaches/Sandals and said they will be moving my wedding and our guests to the Sandy Bay Beaches resort in Negril.I informed her that we chose Ocho Rios for a reason due to the amenities it offered. She said they will have shuttles available to transport people from the Sandy Bay Negril resort to the Beaches in Negril. 

 

In my eyes this completely unacceptable service. This would be a huge inconvenience for the wedding.

 

Please share any opinions or comments!! Thanks!!

We stayed in Sandy Bay about 2 years ago.  We loved it! Very beautiful! I understand how that could be a nightmare.  Obviously you choose that resort for a reason.  Did you book your wedding by yourself or with a TA?

We have booked everything through the resort. That at least puts my mind at ease that Sandy Bay is a nice resort. Thanks!

How did you decide between the 3 different beaches hotels? I am getting married in 2012 and am having a hard time deciding between resorts.. is the price to travel to the hotel and stay there pretty reasonable are you having a reception and a ceremony ?
