@jnj2102  From my friends experience I would highly recommend  Joel Finnigen http://www.weddingwire.com/reviews/joel-finnigen-photography-mount-vernon/7a45ba6667db4b88.html.  And he give those nice keepsake albums in his package which is always a plus . He's easy to contact  and response time is great.

Hey ladies! So I've been thinking more about the details. How are you all going to stay in contact with your guests since the only wifi is in the lobby? I'm pretty sure we are going to arrive one day before everyone. So I was thinking maybe email everyone when we arrive and know our room number so they can call us in the room when they get to theirs? I still want a welcome type dinner but I want people to be able to contact us when they arrive.

 

I heard that they have wifi in the entire hotel now.

@@NenaRoss u can't get any more reasonable than Godfrey TRUST ME....let him know you or your family is Jamaican as well. He also knows the resort inside out. He's very upfront about what can and can't be done. Example I told him my budget and I requested a certain type of flower. He told me it would cost me too much but then sent me flowers that looked just as nice for cheaper

 

I know u get upgraded one room category so if u have an oceanfront room they will upgrade u to presidential suite if available. ....praying we get it I heard it's absolutely beautiful

 

 

When i went in 2013 I had the opportunity to visit the presidential suites. I actually have pictures of it. Its huge (like a one bedroom apartmetn) and the Jacuzzi on the balcony is such an added plus. I reached out to event planner and I think he gave me a great price as well. I have all of the stuff. But bringing it back and forth isn't worth it to me.

Yes you know I just read some stuff in another group and they were saying how they used wifi all over the resort even the beach and it was good connection! I am so excited now!

Hi Brides!!!!! 113 days away and I am waaaayyyyy too relaxed. I haven't contacted the coordinator and haven't started bridal boot camp....Ugh.

 

If it wasn't for Godfrey emailing me pics and ideas I probably would of forgotten ...Lol!

 

How's everyone else doing with planning?

8 weeks from today for me! To me I think "Oh my gosh we only have 8 weeks left - so much to do!" To my fiance it is "We still have 8 weeks! We have plenty of time!" Haha.

 

I get my dress tomorrow and have an alterations appointment on Saturday. I'm hoping it is a little bit snug because I still plan to lose 5 pounds. My fiance has given zero thought to what he is going to wear and we have not gotten rings yet.

 

I'm still working through a fair amount of details like centerpieces, place cards, guestbook, welcome letter/itinerary, etc. So much to think about! Honestly, I'm not really into all the planning and I'm anxious for that to be over. The to-do list is just getting in the way of my excitement!

@@beckys98 I forgot all about place cards.....ugh and guest book

@@budgetbride2015 - Haha! I actually put my sister and best friend in charge of my guest book. I told them what I want but I don't have the time to put it together. So if for some reason they don't do it, it probably just won't get done! 

 

I'm not doing a shower or bachelorette party or anything so this is literally the ONLY thing I've asked them to do

Hi Brides!

My wedding date is 8/24/15 @ the suites! We are all super excited and can't wait! I believe I have a lot of things done. However I was going to use The photographer / videographer at the venue but the reviews weren't great. Does anyone know of a photographer in Jamaica that is awesome?

 

Also, did anyone have a group of less than 20? How does that work in terms of reception locations?

My plans are going great! I just found this site today, I wish I found it a lot sooner. I do know that emailing the coordinator at this venue is very nerve-wracking because I feel like you wait for days to get a response. Your wedding is 113 days away? Are you super excited yet?

HI Ladies!!

I will be getting married at the suites on Oct.17...yeaaa!!! and I'm super overwhelmed with EVERYTHING.... Is anyone making their own centerpieces? if so, how are you getting it down there?
