I second Sunshine Suites! We got a block of rooms for our guests and Keira is wonderful to work with.    Cute property and free brekkie and wifi!  Can't beat that and you will love their pricing. It's more than 50% cheaper than the cost of one-night stay at Grand Cayman Beach Suites where our actual wedding and reception will be.  We are shuttling our guests over using Tropicana Tours.

Also wanted to post some Cayman humor. Anyone see this photo going viral?!

 

Here's the story behind it:  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/01/stingray-photobomb-the-st_n_1928570.html?utm_hp_ref=travel&ncid=edlinkusaolp00000009

Hahaha that picture cracks me up.  It was floating around my office last week.

I had to add it to my "About Grand Cayman" page on my wedding website.  Told wedding guest they too can have a photo with a stingray!

Hey ladies! This forum has been waaaay too quiet!   I was wondering how everyone plans to transport their guests around the island? Like for example, rehearsal dinner/welcome parties and in my case, to the actual wedding venue?

I used Majestic tours....Christine was wonderful to work with and quick to respond!!  Made it very easy and the vehicles were very nice as were the drivers.

I rented buses (mini coach) to pick/return everyone at the airport and to transport to different venues.

I agree that it's been too quiet around here!  I think I will just leave it to the guests if we decide to invite everyone to the rehearsal dinner.  The rehearsal is going to be the only "offsite" group activity for us, and it looks like that may end up being family only anyway.

I don't even know if we're actually getting a rehearsal at GCBS, but I do not have a wedding party other than just my MOH and a BM. How's the rest of the wedding planning going? I know it's kind of slow for most of us since most of the "action" doesn't start to happen until the 90 day period before the actual wedding.

 

We did book our flight though!  Prices are good to get to GCM from the East Coast it seems.

Thanks!  I got a quote from Tropicana Tours and I will check with Majestic as well. We're still undecided about the welcome party, if we want to do it off site or not. It will depend on how many guests we actually have coming.  I will definitely need transport to get guests to GCBS from Sunshine Suites for the wedding though.

Is anyone planning on bringing wedding stuff down with them like favors, decor, etc?  I have come to the reality that I'll be bringing at least one extra suitcase full of stuff it seems.
