You can always do a private reception at the plantation...the restaurant is entirely yours therefore you can do just about anything you want...Me and my fiance as well as the bridal party will be introduced by the MC with music...it's $500 for 2hours $1000 for 4 hours.

I would love to see some pics of a reception set up for the plantation....most of all i'd like to see pics of you having the best day in the world!! Congratulations!!

OMG!! Time is just flying you guys!! Have a great time!! Sending a hug your way....i'm sure everything will be perrrrrfect!!

Hey Ladies- I thought it would be fun to see what music everyone is choosing for their ceremonies and first dances... Bridesmaids/Groomsmen walk: Eric Benet & Tamia-Spend My Life Bridal Walk: Brian McKnight-Still in Love /OR/ Mary J Blige- Give Me You First Dance: Al Green-Let's Stay together ( not definite yet)

what is your wedding date? we've gotta do lunch and vent the destination wedding frustrations sometime girl!!!! LOL

O.K...I absolutely loved you in the dresses from pic 3 and 15...amazing..I'm not really a "poof" kind of girl...these dresses seem light and airy, yet still there is a formal feel to them...beautiful!! You are at the David's Bridal off of Pleasant Hill arent you?? I just realized you were an Atlanta bride like myself...that's where i bought mine!!!

Thanks for the suggestions...i cant begin to tell you how appreciated yall are!

good point...thx!

Congrats!!!! Your review was teriffic...and so reassuring. Can't wait to see pics.

It just so happens that my Fiance Derek who is Jamaican, has an aunt getting married in Kingston. I thought i might as well pay ROR a visit since I'll be on the Island. Well -- I'd like to meet with Chandlyn while I'm there to ask a couple of questions and get acquainted with the property. We're having about 150 guests...enough said. Here's the thing: Chandlyn has barely responded to any of my emails trying to set up an appointment. I feel like I'm always chasing her and I know she's busy, but I've heard great things about other WCs at other resorts. I'm feeling a bit frustrated. Can anyone tell me how weddings have gone with Chandlyn coordinating the entire thing? Are brides typically happy with her assistance? Does she just do the bare minimum? Is she there the whole time? Should I hire someone else to help me? (Yes I'm screaming) Sigghhh...I was thinking I might try to meet with florists, photographers, etc. while there as a back up in case Chandlyn is a no show. I've heard great things about her on this forum, so any feedback is much appreciated I'll keep you posted on how things go! Dara Hi Dara! Chandlyn is typically slow with replying to emails...I havent had my wedding yet to know exactly how she works out during the actual day, but i know she does get bombarded with emails by all of us...so i can just imagine how many emails she gets from ladies who dont know about this site. May i suggest, in addition to emails, get a calling card and give her a call...if I call a couple of times throughout the day, I'm usually able to reach her.

I cant seem to find the rest of the pics of the dress on my computer...as soon as i do I will post them...thanks gals!

Attachment 1436 Hey Ladies!! I attached a pic of my dress.(well the back of it). I'm clueless as to what kind of shoes to wear...The wedding is at the pond gazebo at ROR so I'll need some kind of sandal....any suggestions?? I like a heel, just not too big! LOL....HEEEELLLP... wedding dress.pdf

It's looking like we will have about 75-100 guests...it was supposed to be a lot smaller but i guess the more the merrier. I'm definitely starting to get frustrated....it seems like so much to do.

Definitely helpful...thanks for the post...now we can all be a little more careful with storing our belongings.

good info...cash is always a good motivator...lol

Tell me about it!! lol...how many guests?

Hey Ladies!! It must definitely be another assistant. It is now 9pm on 1/23/08 and i just recieved an email from Chandlyn confirming my plantation reservation for 4 hours...No Fret my Pets!!!

Good Luck and Congrats!! I think we all have Jr. Suites make sure you post some pics so we can see what it looks like!

Thanks a bunch!

Hey Ladies!! Does anyone have pics of the following? If so, please post here. I noticed a lot of ladies ask the same questions about pictures (ecspecially plantation reception brides), but they all tend to be scattered amongst numerous threads. 1. plantation reception photos (both levels if possible) 2. plantation table setup w/ centerpieces and all... 3. ceremony location w/ decoration Feel free to add anything missing...hopefully this will be a great picture board.

Once I remember where I saw it I will send you the link. Can you send them to me as well...pretty pretty [email protected] It'll be greatly appreciated.

Good Question! if you did have a dj, was he far from the dance floor? is there a lot of dancing space...our families both love to boogie!
