Does your group drink?  If so, it might be a good idea to get the speeches out of the way at dinner.  If you wait for the disco party, you might have some slurred speeches! teehee. Who cares if it's not private - I don't think the other guests will mind hearing about how wonderful you and your groom are

I go with dinner. Since there will not be any music, why not have the entertainment of speeches. You shouldn't even worry about the other guest at dinner. I'm glad you asked this. Now thats 1 more thing off of my check list.

Thank you - my FI voted for dinner too since the best man is super nervous and wants to get it out of the way. We leave in 4 days!

So excited for you Jamaica Jenn! Have a safe trip. I know your wedding is going to be AWESOME. Are you doing a planning thread before you leave? Please:)

Did  you use a travel agent to help with the bookings?

Hi All!

I've been going through the same thing now.  I just confirmed for Aug. 2011.  So now I'm trying to get the air and hotel rates figured out.  I've been checking frequently online (eg Expedia) and the packages seem to be the best way to go.  The rates for the rooms alone are ridiculous.  The air is not bad ($330/person from NJ).  The average package rate for the Suites are about $900/person for 3 nights for air and hotel.  Grand is $1000 and Beach is $800.  So about $100 difference btw. the 3.  I also been working with a destination travel agent who will be giving me some lower room rates.  For now, that's all I have.   If anyone else has anything to share it would be so greatly appreciated.  Thank you!  Happy Planning!

Your quotes are just about what I've rec'd for the suites plus air fare. I doubt it'll get cheaper, considering 2011 is right around the corner. We're going to book our air fare soon before it increases and hopefully our guests will do the same. Then we'll book our rooms etc.
