The hotel claims that they haven't heard anything about this and there won't be any construction during my wedding in December.  This guy didn't sound too confident though.

Who did you guys use to get a group rate?

My fiance were just at GP in the beginning of March.  While we were there, they showed us where they were going to be building another 700+ rooms.  It will be on the Lady Hamilton side.  It is supposed to be completed by 2013

Anyone look into planning any group excursions??

 

I really want to put together a welcome pamphlet for our guests...with some excursion info and activities and interesting facs about Jamaica.

 Not doing OOT bags though ... i've talked to a lot of people who've attended DW's and they said its a nice gesture but a complete waste of money.. and they didnt use half the stuff because they either brought it themselves or didnt need it. I like the idea of a gift though so i dont know... we might do a small/cheaper excursion instead as a way to thank everyone.

I wish i could ahve found a good deal on those mini Bubba mugs... but then thats a lot to pack. So i'm not sure yet what im going to do... not really having much luck finding a good excursion company that deals specifically with grand palladium. Most say "from montego bay" or "negril" but we're kind of right smack in the middle... so im confused! lol

Sorry I dont think u can get around the vendor fee..unless u book them as part of your group. im booking hair and makepu thru resort spa ... i couldnt justify the extra cost and hassle of using outside vendors. Maybe try adding them to your group list.. maybe they can just pay for a "day pass" instead of the ridiculous vendor fee!!!

My wedding is May 11, 2012.  I'm using an outside photographer, dj, and make-up artist.  We're having to pay the $300 vendor fee for the photographer and the dj.  For make-up/hair we're just having to pay for a day pass.

Thank you for checking queena427!  I hope the resort is big enough that even if there is some construction going on that it won't be too intrusive.

Construction Update:  My planners found out construction will be happening beside Sunset Cove (she has yet to confirm dates  )  but if you look at the map, you can see that its POSSIBLY not a big deal. 
 

Shaecollins:  What DJ did you hire and how much are you spending when you include that $300 vendor fee ?  Anyone know anything about the resort's referral DJ --- Damane Scott, from Irie Jamz ?  Help !~!
