Need a wedding planner - help?!?

[Shellyebs]

Hi everyone. Congrats on all of your upcoming weddings!

 

We are going to be in Jamaica 5/2-5/9 and I am having a heck of a time finding an affordable planner. We literally just want to get married on the beach, just the two of us, and maybe have a bouquet of flowers. I have been looking to find someone to just help us find a beautiful location, provide the officiant, flowers (maybe help arrange transportation from the Grand Palladium), and get all the docs, licenses, certificates, etc. taken care of. That's it. We have even only booked our photographer for just 2 hours. Simple, romantic, personal.

 

I keep seeing places that want to charge $550 or $699 or even $850 and up and I just think that is so much - especially b/c we a re on a budget and are doing something so basic.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions of good wedding vendors to look at? I am at a loss.

 

Thanks in advance!!!

Shellyebs- Have you checked out tropicalweddingsjamaica.com? I am not going through that site ( I have a planner which is costing us more than you want to spend), but I have communicated with Almarie who is the planner of that site and she is very helpful. They have packages on their website, but you can personalise everything! I would recommend emailing Almarie and telling her what you want. I know lots of other brides on here have used her.

 

Good luck and congrats!
