Grand Palladium Jamaica/Lady Hamilton - 2011 Brides!

[JamminBride0616]

Hello. Our wedding is 6/16/11. Natalie had sent something once saying 30 days prior she needed the documentation, then another time she said she needed the documentation 6 weeks prior which is now!!!! I've been pondering what to do for the last couple days and I'm thinking I might have a notary that I personally know just "notarize" the birth certs. I haven't tried scanning and emailing what I have yet since she clearly reiterated that she wanted it NOTARIZED...???!!! I can't believe that the Grand Palladium has never married anyone who lives in a state that does not notarize birth certs! I'm confused and annoyed. I will definitely let you know if I get anywhere with this and please do the same!

Looks like we will be there the same time.  I'm getting married the day after you on Friday, the 17th.  Where and when on the 16th are you getting married?

 

I plan on sending her the docs this week.  First I will scan and email them to her.  If it's not accepted, I have a notary in my office and will have her notarize it and then send it to her again.  I thought certified was the same as notarized.  We shall see! LOL

I just googled the difference... LOL

 

Notarized is to verify a signature.

 

Certified is an actual copy.

 

Send her the certified since there's no signature.  There's been plenty of brides in Michigan that got married in Jamaica, I'm sure she is just misusing the word...

Hello fellow GP Brides!  I am back from my DW and the wedding day could not have been more perfect!

 

We were married on May 4th in the gazebo at 4 pm and then followed with a reception at the Poseidon at 6 pm. 

 

I will be writing my full review shortly (once more pics are available) but I just wanted you all to rest assured that the resort is stunning and the staff will do everything they can to ensure your big day is exactly what you imagined it would be

Thank Melly!  So happy that everything turned out perfectly!  Can't wait to read your review!

were planning our wedding at the lady hamilton next april, and although weve tried this once, but got prego instead lol .....im so excited. If anyone has any tips for the resort please let me know......

Ive already got my photographer (digital memories) www.digitalmemoriescollection.com

picked our wedding package (Waves of love)......still not understanding the ruby or pearl thing?

Anything you brides can tell me would be so helpful thankx alll

Welcome CanadianGirl and Congratulations!  I am getting married on Sept 10 at the GPLH.  The Ruby/ Pearl packages are the old packages...I'm sure you can still get them, but I think the new packages are better.  I am going with the Waves of Love as well.  I have been dealing with Simone, my wedding coordinator, since March, and she has been very helpful!!  She is always prompt and thorough in replying to my emails.  It seems like most of the planning is done after you arrive, but your WC should be able to help you get a few details in order before then.  Let me know if you have any specific questions and I will be happy to help!  Good luck! 

[canadiangirl]

Yeah i agree, the new packages are def better....although it confused me with the ruby and pearl thing lol.....are you going with the resort photos? or are you finding something different. The reason I ask, is that my FI and I found a lady who is in Jamaica and she has great photo's and is cheeper for what you get than the resort.

 

do you know....can you add things to the wedding cake? my FI wants more color lol (and Im the girl lol)

lets keep in touch and maybe we can share info and ideas....hope your wedding is beautiful
