Jake - I'm between May 17th and 29th because i'm going off the cruise ship schedules, giving some family the chance to get down there without a passport. May is a busy time of year so I want to have everyone booked by the end of December.

 

I talked to DJ Jose Aheeb last night, who by the way I really like.  He reccomended Compass Point - you can get married there even if you don't stay. As well as Cabbage Beach, I didn't know this but for about $400 you can use the condo's electricity and restrooms and get married right there. I don't think we'll change our minds but I'll look again when I get there and I wanted to pass the information along for the other ladies. He also said the Montaque Gardens restaurant is an inexpensive restaurant for a reception and they allow you to bring your own alcohol in. For some reason my guy dosn't like that place but I thought it's a great deal. It's also next door to a club called Waterloo if you want to continue the party. That club isn't my style but I know it's popular for spring breakers.

I booked jose as well.  I'm trying to work through hotel options now. I'm thinking of staying at sunrise beach villas and recommending sunrise beach villas and comfort suites to guests. our wedding is at sandyport so I'll be bussing the guests there.  are there bars and casual restaurants in paradise island?  I looked but saw more fancy restaurants on the atlantis property.

The green parrot is nice, It's near the water and it looks like your going to the pool but it's a bar with some tables. Prices are medium range..I didn't care for my mahi mahi salad but my aunt liked her burger a lot. My guy loves the place
