Jellym Planning Thread!

[Jellym]

Okay I'm the type of person to plan plan plan with any upcoming event, my wedding included! So why not start a planning thread?! Hope everyone enjoys watching our wedding come together as much as we do.

 

We got engaged Jan 2015 at our New Years party. A total surprise on my end as you can imagine lol. We decided to take the majority of the year to get certain things in order i.e. Finish furnishing our house, deal with certain family issues and so forth. Well now it's time to plan!! We are planning on getting married in Jamaica ????????! My FI was born there and that's where the majority of our family is from. Hoping to find a location by the end of next month preferably. I have my heart set on hummingbird hall. Even though it's a bit pricey. Please join me as I figure out my next step and ask tons of questions on this helpful forum!

Congratulations @@Jellym! Great to see a Jamaica bride with a planning thread! My husband grew up in Jamaica as well so it was an obvious choice for us. Our guests all really fell in love with the island - the beauty, the food, the music, the culture! Oh my! Looking forward to seeing your plans unfold.

 

Cheers!

Thank you! I'm beyond excited!!

Yay! Another thread to read! Congrats and welcome! I'm also a Jamaica bride - 4 years in just a couple of weeks. We got married at Gran Bahia Principe Jamaica in a beautiful beach gazebo. It was our first trip to the island and we fell in love with it, just as @@beckys98 said - the culture, the people, the food. It's a wonderful place and hopefully we'll get the chance sometime to go back. We loved the resort and had a beautiful view of the ocean. I would recommend it to anyone.

 

Looking forward to reading more of your thread! Happy planning!

Hello Jellym,

 

I have been looking at all the reviews on HH. I booked the venue for my Feb.2016 wedding. I'm so excited and I'm also learning many things from people had their wedding at the venue.

I have heard that it's very nice but you must look over the contract carefully. From my experience so far, they are quick to respond back to your messages and the planning can be very detailed. To me, adding on extras for the wedding are very expensive from the venue itself. I have been doing a lot of DIY projects or buying things online to take with me to Jamaica.

Like they will try to trick you?

Not at all! Everything is legit. Just the wording had to be cleared up. I have already made two payments to them and I am happy about my decision.

Okay. Cool!
