Thank you!!! I am thinking about your 4 hour reception, I like that idea!!!! Im just trying to figure out what to do with the people between that in between time while we take pictures.

Landon - photographers are not considered vendors at Now Jade. You only need an outside guest/wedding day pass.

I went to a wedding in October and they Did not have a cocktail hour .. We all met at the lobby bar after the wedding . when they were ready they sent a resort worker to let us know .. This was at different resort but I'm considering doing this .. It did bother me one bit . When read this post it reminded me that they did not have a cocktail hour ..

I have a question about the vegetation options available.

 

For those of you who have been married at NJ already, what one did you select and do you have any recommendations for a veg option?

 

Also - how did you word it on your response card (if at all), so it doesn't just sound like a side dish? (i.e. grilled vegetables with rosemary oil doesn't really sound like an entree)

Hi Ladies! So the photographer my fiancé and I were going to fly out is no longer going. I was wondering if any brides used the resort photographers and how much was full day with the divine package? Also, how is their work? I am not a picture person but for the big day i want to make sure we get great pics! We don't like traditional wedding pictures either. Any suggestions? Any decent priced photographers in the area? thanks!!!

If you read Shannon Marie's review, she upgraded to the full day and has the cost breakdown. She said she liked the resort photographer where as other people have complained about them. My FI and I are going to stick with the resort photographer and upgrade to the full day, we are paying $850.00 i believe for that upgrade.
